I fall in coma just by reading all these informative posts.

Nvidia revenues take a major hit ^ Thats gotta hurt.:(

Nvidia is on a roll with rebranding. @Crosshairs Yes, but Nvidia takes rebranding to a new level, I bet they have one marketing section just for this :p Seriously how many times can you release one product and call it new, talking about 8800GT here.

I was gonna ask why would you want to do that, but higher clock limits explain it. Now Iam actually intriqued by this, since I have flashed my Asus 4850 core over 700Mhz and overdrive does not recognize it anymore. Does anybody know what are the OC limits of latest Sapphire cards, I might...

Maybe time to edit the topic before too many newbies get all excited about this.

http://en.expreview.com/2008/10/08/1049.html Ok I admit it, Nvidias naming scheming starts to be too much, atleast for me. Less knowing consumer is going to get burned with this stuff, and I thought that Nvidia is going to make its product line clearer :confused:

Got similiar setup, Asus 4850 with Accelero S1 + 120mm fan, idles around ~36c and with furmark it goes around 50c. Dunno how this accelero works for 4870, but it's like made for 4850 :) ps. I used the original thermal paste that came with the accelero.

Not even etailer can ship one for you? Cannot but recomend this Accelero S1, dropped my 4850 cards temps 40c all across the board, with 120mm fan that is. Zallmans alternatives can be used also, but I really think Accelero S1 is the best aftermarket cooler out there for 4850. Too bad it...

For 50$ I would switch, if not then head over to techpowerup for easy pencil mod for the 4850, you can get the card very near 4870 speeds that way. 3rd party cooling is recomended though :)

Buying a dirt cheap Artic S1 fixes the heat issues of 4850 for good. On top of that one can do easy pencil mod and clock the card to 4870 speeds easily. I have honestly not had more impressive card than 4850 in a long long time. But if green makes you warm an fuzzy, cannot think of anything bad...

What happens if customer SLIs new and old revision of this GTX 260 card :confused: Thanks Nvidia for making this more confusing.

That honestly sucks! Way too many reports on this issue for it to be coincedent. Did the card overheat durin gaming or just with furmark?

People who make themselfs brand loyal over one faulty card really feel naive to me. Welcome to the bleeding edge OP, it is not allways a smooth ride. Not doing a RMA, in this case, just sounds dumb to me :confused: ps. Did you test the card on another system?

Yes Iam 100% sure, I got an faulty DVI cable. This is due to the fact that I did not even see BIOS before I turned the cable around. I had hard time believing the solution myself, as it does not sound very logical, but then again, there is plenty of stuff in IT which really does not make sense :)

Silly as it may sound, but with my 4850 I had the exact same problem, and it was fixed by turning around the DVI cable. :confused::D Logical assumption, my DVI cable is faulty.
