Which 4850?

maki · 2008-09-27 17:41:56

I'm planning on buying a 4850 for my new build but I'm a bit confused when it comes to which brand to go for. I'm buying from hardwareversand and the 4850's start at €131 and go all the way up to €202. Are there any brands I should go for or avoid? Any specific card you'd recommend? I'm trying to keep it around the €150…

try and get one with a after market cooler cause they run HOT something like 90C degrees. the his one looks good cause it exhausts the air outside the case http://www4.hardwareversand.de/articledetail.jsp?aid=22789&agid=717

Just go for the cheapest, buy an aftermarket cooler and overclock it.

BTW great, thats the standard cooler (in clear plastic with a fancy blue sticker)

That's not the stock cooler, it's different...
