There is not a whole lot to say wrong about HIS’s final HD4850 release for this chipset. The product does exactly what it was intended to do and that is to be a solid gamer with a quieter and more efficient cooler at a good price. HIS was smart to keep on supporting this product for the next while seeing it will sell very well even today.

Looks like another decent card from HIS, like the blue fan on this one =), matches the pcb

Not bad of a card for anyone who doesn't want to break the bank.
I dislike their test setup, everything outa the case, plus lots of cables and clutter. If i was them, definately would not have uploaded that picture, just makes their review look amateur.

Its called a test bench; alot of reviewers use them since the hardware changes in them all time.
at least make it look more “clean” i can't see anything in that setup, i just see clutter. since the cables are blocking some things
Seeing the setup isn't the point.

just saying it'd look more professional if they didn't show it at all, or at least cleaned up the setup a bit. The setup does affect the benchmarks though, it's not always the same conditions inside a case vs laid out on the bench
lol you are crazy into thinking that a setup affect a benchmark if its not all clean or in a case lol
outside the case has better airflow (the whole room) for convection, inside the case air is more confined and builds up heat faster.
