HIS HD 4850 IceQ 4 TurboX 512MB PCI-E Graphics Card
F.E.A.R & GRID Results
Published: 7th October 2008 | Source: HIS | Price: £135 |
F.E.A.R. is a game based on the Lithtech Jupiter EX engine. It has volumetric lighting, soft shadows, parallax mapping and particle effects. All results were recorded using F.R.A.P.S, with a total of 5 identical runs through the same area of the game. The highest and lowest results were then removed, with an average being calculated from the remaining 3 results.
Race Driver: Grid is a visually taxing game that presents a challenge to any graphics system. Results were recorded using FRAPS to log the average FPS over a 2 minute race. To ensure consistency, the same track, car and general path of travel was used in each of the 5 benchmark runs for each graphics card, with an average FPS being calculated from the median three results.

I'm thinking a couple of these and a pair of MCW60's would make for a rather tasty party.  |
I did mention it twice in the review, but we won't go there
QuoteBeing kinda hands-off from the ATI world, I think the card parallels the other 4850 card pretty well. Further, the extra cash for the cooler and the package as a whole (the screwdriver looks pretty darn handy imo , I'd advise some1 get one so I can nick it hehe). Yeah its tat, but hey it's all in the presentation. Lacks a game tho, from what I can see, to me they should all include a reference game or atleast something to play with - a string of demos, something.
Looks good to me, any audio for that hdmi ? and how much cooler does it get ?!?!
Good review, I'll promote them so I can have a screwdriver !Quote

ATI have made a awesome card. 4850 is the card to get . The performance to the price is very good. Would of liked to seen a 4870 in the benchmarks aswell though Quote
