XFX HD-485X-YDFC Radeon HD 4850 512MB Review

actually we had issues posting them and the time frame was more like 5 minutes. we had to repost a few because it was blocking some of the material I was posting

Someone should teach Cody how to summarize all his information into one post. Over a 20 minute time frame he managed to make 4 posts. Way to be efficient dude.

As a side note try and keep your video card under 75 degrees celcius or so to keep the lifespan of the card at its maximum ^_^

If you are looking for alternative cooling solutions rather than stock coolers and do Air cooling go ahead and take a look at this cooler

If you are interested in a relatively cheap yet effective solution to video issues this is the way to go rather than spending 500.00 on a video card that will just be 200.00 in 6 months

As I have said before and Ill say it again make sure your case has good airflow to make the lifespan of your CPU and GPU and other hardware last longer.

If you buy this card Enjoy ^_^ XFX makes a fine product indeed and they haven`t let me down before I don`t see why the should now.

Ok, I don`t deal with ATI cards much but what I will tell you is that between ATI and Nvidia both types have their advantages over another. Nvidia video cards are able to render games that has a higher dependancy on Physx such as mirrors edge than an ATI card would.

for this card just as an estimate ill rate its power consumption at about 150 watts
