Shades Of Twilight: Testing My New ATI 4650 ON COD4

  • Chris · 9 months ago
    I'm wavering between buying this 4650 card or paying twice as much for the 4850, for twice the price. I'm thinking the best value would be the 4650. Especially considering I'm taking the leap from the 1600XT. Hah. Almost embarrassed to admit that :)

    Heh why not, since the 4650 is almost like a "value" card now.. for the amount of money, you really get a LOT for it. Note that I haven't even mucked around with overclocking the thing yet - it's still at the default factory setting of 600/400Mhz for GPU and Memory...

    Get the 4850, it's only $120ish now which is a bargain. It is SIGNIFICANTLY better than the 4650.

    4870 > 4850 > 4830 > 3870 > 3850 > 4670 > 4650 > etc

    You can play Crysis on high at 1280x1024 with the ATI4850, and get about 50fps average. With the 4650, you'll get maybe 10 fps average.

    $120 in which currency? If it's US$, it's too expensive for me. I'm on a very TIGHT budget.

    Besides, I just bought this card. There is no way I am buying another card just becos it's "better" less than a year of getting this one.

    yeh...a 4830 gets about 60fps on average at your resolution and gfx settings, and a 4850 gets 80-90 average. A 4870 gets over 100 fps on average.

    You could've also bought a 4670, only $10 more than a 4650 but 30-40% better performance.

    I'd be lost without ATI 4650. I use ATI 4650 often. I'd be lost without ATI 4650.
