The 4850 video cards are currently available in 3 flavors 4850, 4870 and 4570X2. Today we gonna look at 4850 version. The 4850 has a memory of 512Mb. The HIS video card has a PCI express of 2 compared to older video cards which had 1. This video card is founded on RV of 770 core which has 950 million transistors!
The video card it self is quite large, it has a cooler fan which blows cool air inside the heat sink. Its an excellent design that is used mostly on other HIS video card products. The fan is temperature controlled automatically to achieve the best cooling possible. The only problem with this design is that it occupies 2 expansion slots. If you want to overclock this video card you must remember to have a good air circulation in your tower case. This card has 2 dbi connection and it only requires 1, 6 pin power supply connection. The speed of this card is 625MHz. The pixel filary is 10 Giga pixel per second. Which is quite nice for this video card.
This card has many new technologies I won't talk about all of them but I will mention a few. It has 256bit memory interface, custom filter ant-aliasing, up to 24X custom filter to improve the quality, Unified super scalar shade architecture this is for dynamic load balancing and resource allocation, physics support and more... Over all I recommend this graphics card, if you are in the market for a great video card but you don't want to break a back then this card will be certainly suitable for you; it performs really well, temperatures are reasonable, the fan is quiet, and it just requires 6 pin power connection. I think it is a great product and I rate it 9/10. The price is about $80-120. Damian Gaslawski...signing off.
