Pros: + good heatsink, keeps it around 45C idle.+ OCed to 700/1200+ not too hard to setup+ very good build quality+ handles most games on high settings Cons: + too long (9,5" in length)+ get only 38fps on crysis benchmark with 1200x1000.noAA.vista+ no accesories+ no TV out which I do not need at the moment. from Newegg.com Cons: -Free game came scratched and didnt install-Drivers are a PITA used multiple sets and found a little success-Blocks a PCI port Other Thoughts: About the drivers.. idk if my card is defective but it BSOD'd daily while playing most games. I used multiple versions of the drivers doing the whole safe mode and drivers sweeper and all that too, only to make the card not BSOD as often. from Newegg.com Cons: -A little long but that is expected. Make sure your case fits.-Unable to control the fan speed Other Thoughts: When I buy a video card, the single most important thing to me is noise. I do not like hearing my PC right next to me as I surf the web or just listen to music. from Newegg.com Pros: Bought it, took it out of the very nice packaging, popped it in, installed the driv- Ok, well the driver that came with it was old, so I downloaded the latest ones. Anyways, it's a simply amazing card for the price, and the cooler is amazing. I have the card overclocked to 700Mhz on the core and 1200Mhz on the memory (CCC preset limit, but I'll push it further later), and the hottest I've been able to get it is 71C in a Furmark stability test. from Newegg.com Pros: Excellent heat sink, dual slot design. Since fan is always running at 100% (see below), the card stays very cool. Mid to low 30s at idle. from Newegg.com Pros: Fantastic price, fantastic power, just plain fantastic. The 4850 is the best card in its class by far, and MSI provided a good version of it. It runs at reasonable temperatures, isn't -huge- and doesn't seem to be having any troubles at all. from Newegg.com Pros: Good card for the money, performs well, though I did see some hiccups on the FPS I am playing, though that may not be the card Cons: Big card, and already falling behind on the tech front. from Newegg.com Pros: Good decent video card. Performance isnt THAT much more over a regular 4850 and it runs pretty cool. from Newegg.com Pros: Great card so far. Played about 6 hrs CoD:WaW, no problem. from Newegg.com Pros: great card, ran all my games max settings, Crysis ran smoothly on very high Cons: died after 2 weeks, started getting artifacts, the games would crash from Newegg.com
