Thread: Visiontek Radeon HD 4850

What brings us together at this time is nothing new under the sun but rather a product of the labor party and was showcased in our laboratories. It is therefore considered that after we decided to give a different approach to this review and wanted to go a bit beyond the conventional.

That was how excited we get out of the bucket and operating performance that famous ATi HD4850 Visiontek hand was revised to its fullest, always aided by water-cooled grate to keep warm temperature of the test subject.

Several of the results we got our attention starting with the incredible difference in temperature is obtained by replacing the original ventilation of these models. In another place at this time over clocking margins are too narrow for that little BIOS help improve frequencies.

After various tests and a series of information gathering we got the surprise that for the frequencies would have liked physical changes are necessary to modify the card with the working voltage, which can result in the death of it.

In addition we found that the modified BIOS not produce a substantial improvement in over clocking and in most cases produce crashes, therefore flatly rule out this option. But despite everything, we had the luxury of making the most of this model and we invite you to see what comes of this whole adventure in a liquid-cooled current card.

Visiontek opted for propaganda in the model; we see that it looks at the front of the box the image of the game Mass Effect along with the corresponding logos and graphics ATi left side we'll see if it's so true.

A look at what we referred to shows that this model comes with HDMI and 7.1 channel audio. At right is an appealing message, the lifetime warranty. Below them we see not forget Visiontek no adapter necessary.

The accessory package is very complete, includes the user manual, the disk controllers, a power adapter for PCIe adapter, S-video to composite video, one S-video to RCA adapter, DVI a VGA and a DVI to HDMI. It also includes CrossFire Bridge for those who opt for a multi-card solution.
