Average Rating:
Rating: - Fast card, quiet too
At this price point (~$200) Radeon HD 4850 is a winner. There are a lot of reviews out there, so just google it if you are interested.
The general problem with these cards is that they are noisy and get very hot. This particular card fortunately does not have such issues thanks to a superior cooling. It wasn't too loud to begin with and after I adjusted fans to run at 30% it became very quiet. It gets 40°C at idle and ~55°C under load.
