Pros: Fast, Good Value, High Quality, Many Features, Easy to Overclock
Cons: Too Expensive

"Superb Quality For Gaming, The DDR5 Memory Really Does It Proud!
Apart From Its Price Tag, Its Well Worth It!"

Pros: Fast, Good Value, High Quality
Cons: Runs Hot

"I upgraded form a 3870 to 4850. HUGE improvement.

Wish ATI/AMD made all there products this good!"

Pros: Fast, Good Value, High Quality, Many Features, Easy to Overclock, Energy Efficient
Cons: just a tad loud

"Well, where to begin with these cards...I guess I will start off with what they replaced and that would be a GTX 285, I did this upgrade incrementally and even from the insertion of the first 4890 I could immediately tell a difference in both image quality and overall fluidity of game play. One card easily handles everything I played and then just to add a little bit more fun I got a second one and hooked them up in CrossfireX, let me say without a doubt this setup is absolutely fantastic, even when the action is fierce these cards power right through it....overall I am very happy with my purchase and I feel that I have a solid product that will provide me with countless hours of fun, THANKS AMD/ATI!!"

Pros: Fast, Many Features, Easy to Overclock
Cons: Part Failure, Runs Hot

"fantastic AA and high res performance. Would have been a great card had I not let the CCC Autotune burn up its ram during a test. I beleave the heat solution for the card to be its greatest weakness on what is otherwise a very solid board. I have to give the quality a poor vote due entirely to the cooling issue."

Pros: Fast, Good Value, High Quality, Easy to Overclock, Energy Efficient
Cons: Too Basic, high basic tempereture - 80 c i cant reduce it

"Hot card - basic temperature is 80 C, but don't worry - even basic fan works great(HD 4850). Very good value and performance. NVidea too expensive & dont so fast as ATI at the same money"

Pros: Fast, Good Value, High Quality, Many Features, Easy to Overclock, Energy Efficient, it's not from nvidia

"This is the best video card I ever bought, it simply runs everything at high resolutions and with all quality settings at maximum. So this is because I ever choose ATi Radeon Premium Graphics for me and my family. Low prices and excelent performance."

Cons: Too Expensive, Part Failure, Runs Hot

"I've always loved ATI Products, even up to my last card the X1600XT. But after purchasing the 4850 512MB Card, I was disappointed very much. Within my first week of using the card, it started overheating. My CPU is at 36 degrees celcius and my MOBO is at 38, but why is my video card running in the 80's when idle and nearly 100 or more when gaming. Not only that, but it reboots my system on a regular basis. I've returned the card and got another but still the same issue. I've got a Q6700 w/ 4GB of OCZ DDR2 Fatality RAM and a 750W OCZ Power Supply. I just don't like this card, I'm going to give NVIDIA a chance. Like they say, "The way it's meant to be played". I guess ATI doesn't care about giving their consumers a good product. Just rush it into the stores with a high price to keep up with the competition."

Pros: Fast, Good Value, High Quality, Energy Efficient

"Hi Iam fernando i from holland i have december 2008 this card buy in a excellent pc shop the performance van this card is perfect Im game Crysis of very high or 8xaa I have before this card te nvidia 8400gs.MAAR de hd 4850 its very nicer . go amd the best"

Pros: Fast, Good Value, High Quality, Many Features, 2 gb ddr5 !, be prepared to witness mind blowing visual effects, it improves its performance constantly, crossfire is getting improved also with new driver
Cons: a little noisy while rendering hard, maybe other brands can offer a better quality, no bundle game included, buy a good case 4 this card with good ventilatio

"It's been almost 6 months dealing with this outstanding beast (powercolor ATI 4870 x2) and the more I play with games the more I convince myself I did a good choice. I put 3 stars only in quality because of Powercolor, the fan is quite noisy and the card also tends to buzz (like electric interference) a little while dealing with heavy 3D rendering but I read it happens with other brands too... It's my only regret...maybe a better brand like Gigabyte or ASUS have managed to make the card completely silent while rendering... Apart from that its performance in every game that have played so far is simply jaw dropping (Company of Heroes 1920 x 1200 Anisotropic x 16 Antialising x 8 and everything everything at ultra = more than 40 fps) Foremost ATI drivers constantly improves the performance of the card somehow... I have noticed improvements in Crysis Warhead (a game that is intentionally programmed for Nvidia cards) from the order of 30 % in only 6 months... I really recommend this card to everybody but specially to hardcore gamers that seeks outstanding performance at affordable price.
Keep up the good work ATI !"
