I'm not sure. I should think so, since they are all based on the same chip. The only things I can think of that might guzzle watts are fans and overclocking. Buy a reference-clocked card with passive cooling, and you can eliminate that problem.Quote:

what settings on average can it run Left4Dead
Not familiar with Left4Dead. Since it runs on source and that graphics card is fairly good, I'd imagine you'd be able to run it on high pretty smoothly.
E: Wait, what? Do you mean the 3850? In that case yes I'm 99% sure you'd be able to run it on high smoothly.
fuck i meant 4830
apologies, i'm an idiot
4830 is a 4850 with a few bits removed, it should run fine on max settings, looking at your processor.Quote:

He didn't apply a BB-sized amount of paste on, he applied like 8 BBs. I've looked at quite a few many guides, and they really aren't clear. I come to you with this question: What do we use to remove the paste off of the CPU? (and yes, its Arctic Silver)
Oh also the grey square on the bottom of the heatsink is the thermal pad right :E
Not to be an ass but
