ATI 4850 benchmark

Hmm, does this actually mean that the newer ATI cards are catching up with Nvidia's? Prices seem tempting here

 

Looking good so far THX for the info Chai

 

I think so. For the first time in about a year, I feel that it's worth buying a new graphics card

 

i haven't finish trashing the 9800GTX and now all this comes.

HD4850 should be with me next week.....HOPEFULLY!

 

the 4800 is impressive. single slot, single power connector, but like the 3850 it's hot! still, i think the GeForce 9800GTX might be the eventual winner due to NV's work in developing the cuda framework and they are pushing it very hard. some very impressiev applications are in the work like x264 encoding app. badaboom etc.

alot of interesting apps for the G92 family of card are coming up ( including geforce 8800 gt/gts512)

 

This is a really good card, especially when it is priced at $199.

 

Yes ATI needed that price point to remain competitive with the 9600gt

 

4850 is already much faster than 9600GT and t's faster than 9800GTX in most cases. In fact, it even managed to come close to GTX 260 in one or two benchmarks.

 

Depends on the power and efficiency of the GPU. Keep in mind the G92 will not O/C as well as the G94 and not familiar with the GPU on the 4850.

If you check the PhysX thread on this forum the Vantage scores posted were run on Gens Wolfdale E8200 with an 8800GTS and mine using an E6550 with a 9600gt 512 750/1900/950 GPU max@45C. I am not even pushing this 9600gt yet

 

And what are your temps ?

 

4850 is already as fast as 9800GTX+ (wins some and loses some benchmarks, minimal difference). There is no way for a G94 to come anywhere close to a stock 4850/9800GTX+, unless you voltmod it and overclock it much further. Keep in mind that 9800GTX+ already runs at 738/1836/2200.

Most 8800GTS 512 can reach 700-750MHz range on the core easily with stock cooler. Some even manage to hit 800MHz+, perhaps with better cooling.

 

Who mentioned GTX ?

On the 4850 I want to see some more benchmarks from another source. Let see maybe if Lacus can post some. Don't get me wrong I hope these new ATI cards kick a** but I want to see more than one set of results before going to crazy

Yep sure it could and so could this 9600gt easily with an aftermarket cooler. What GPU are you going to O/C the core 100MHz at still only reach 45C under load ... seriously ?

 

OK before we get way off topic here lets post some facts.

Test system in Chai's link for the 4850 benchmarks:
PC Perspective - AMD Radeon HD 4850 512MB Preview - RV770 Discovered

3DMark6 scores using this setup:
PC Perspective - AMD Radeon HD 4850 512MB Preview - RV770 Discovered

This 9600GT at stock speeds on an E6550 scores close to 11k. And I can't match 11099 by O/Cing it? Lets put this card in PC Perspective's test system and I bet the score in 3DMark6 will be almost identical to the 4850.
