Thanks heaps for this! Can't wait for you to test the Ati Radeon 4500, really interested to see how it compares.

Any chance we'll see some comparisons to the 2008 2.8mHz with the 2800 as well?

Its amazing...WoW plays at 40-60 fps with everything apart from shadow on full

4850 is in peoples hands, so hopefully we can get them to run some of the same benchmarks and add them in to this very helpful thread by Barefeats!

Too modest to post www.barefeats.com ? =p
Bunch of benchmarks on it.

Ah righto, Sorry, i only play FPS on the consoles so dont notice any issues.

That and the human eye only see's at 24fps

The human eye sees at closer to 10fps.

Wrong. Pure unscientific speculation.

'the common claim that "The human eye can't see more than 24 (or 25 or 30 or 60) FPS" is completely false, and is partly borne of the misconception that TV or movie FPS is the same as PC game FPS, and partly possibly borne out of a need to justify lower framerates.

It's true that movies and TV only use around 24, 25 or 30 FPS, depending on which part of the world you're in. But there are three important differences between Movies, TV and PC games'
