    4850 Low FPS

    I fixed my issue. The NB replacement fan didn't do it, quite likely my NB was too damaged at that point so I opted to upgrade to an Asus P5Q-E w/ an E8400 and 4GB of OCZ Reaper HPC Edition RAM. I'm now getting 75 FPS steady in the same spot in WoW with 24x CFAA. Next on my list of things to...

    Why does my HD4850 suck!?

    Go to the Crysis folder, there is a Bin64 and Bin32 folder. The rest is pretty self explanatory.

    I had mine apart last night and noticed the northbridge fan has ceased moving, so I'll be replacing that today and crossing my fingers that that will be the solution.

    4850 Low FPS

    I've got a few CRT monitors lying around all 19 or 20", should I see what resolutions they're capable of? Just tried them at 1792x1344 same fps. I think I've just about run out of patience and this card will be going back by the end of the week.

    4850 Low FPS

    Well I've just finished OCing my processor a little up from 2.21 to 2.65, and I've gone from 33 fps to 45-50 in COD4. My FPS in the area of WoW I've been testing hasn't changed with a mid 30's, and my Crysis FPS is getting an average of 30 FPS. Now I'm definitely thinking perhaps it is my...

    As you can see its still reporting the wrong driver. Everything else is ok now though. Is it possible Vista isn't loading the correct driver? Rydawg, can you post a shot of gpu-z if you're using Vista so we can see what it says there?

    4850 Low FPS

    I noticed the 1mhz and just figured that gpu-z was reporting something wrong...but the bandwidth and cat number I didn't, must have been getting tired at that point. I'll have to try another uninstall, clean, and reinstall when I get home tonight.

    Here is the main gpu-z screen for anyone looking at this wondering if its running at the right speeds. gpu-z is reporting the wrong default core clock and default memory clock speeds.

    I tried that default driver thing, it didn't give any better performance. I'm really close to returning this card and getting a 260 or 280.

    4850 Low FPS

    The other thing I'm thinking is that the 48xx series may have an issue w/ backwards compatability. Both of us are lacking pci-e 2.0. Anyone out there running a 48xx w/ under pci-e 2.0? Are there any reviews out there of a 4850/4870 on a pci-e 1.* board?

    4850 Low FPS

    I've linked two images from WoW w/ GPU-Z running. Note that the temperatures are no longer like that as I've since made changes to my setup to decrease the temps. http://www.theblacklistedclan.com/WoW_character.jpg http://www.theblacklistedclan.com/WoW_in_game.jpg Note the GPU usage in...

    The default driver? oO? Post your findings.

    4850 Low FPS

    Should I maybe just send this one back and perhaps even get a different manufacturer?

    4850 Low FPS

    Well now, theres something we have in common. I too have a Visiontek. I used driver sweeper, it seemed to work the best w/ Vista x64.

    I've tried both the hot fix and the 8.7 betas flying around, same performance.
