news 28 Posted November 6, 2008 MSI have updated their HD4850 card from a single slot cooler to a Quad-Piped Dual Slot solution. Lower temperatures and a quieter card, coupled with the now famous higher than expected performance should make this a winner. "Pretty much any game you play will allow for a minimum of 2xMSAA with virtually no hit to the FPS so graphical quality has a good start to begin with. The quad-pipe cooling setup does very well, keeping things cool and quiet; we saw a maximum load temperature of only 58C when overclocked and while we could hear the card, we had to stop to listen for it specifically among the other sounds of our watercooled test system. At idle the card is silent. The cooling solution also looks great in an industrial fashion and the pipework and clear plastic approach makes it a great accessory in a watercooled setup even if the card itself isn't watercooled." http://www.viperlair.com/index.php/reviews/msi-r4850-t2d512-512mb.html Share this post Link to post
