Core clock is lower than the 4670, but it has a higher mem clock and more stream processors

if you do some shopping, you can get a better 4850 for the same price.

I know it's open box, but meh. That's the same model I own, and it works great.

I would say yes. Just be warned, there's a limit of 99 of those per customer.

@ Coji, it's a 4830...

e: nvm Coji, you're right. :\/ Idk why but I got my ATi naming conventions all messed up.

DONT GET THAT
The HD4870 version of it has the fan die, and is a fucking pain to deal with.
and it idles (atleast on the 4870 version) at about 75*c

Like I said for the 4870 version, also, how long have you had the card?

[InnerGoat]

Pyong your card was probably faulty lmao

Ok so it's a little awkward, but I'm feeling good about this. It's intended to be a media server / file server / HTPC / general desktop whatever:

Antec Mini P180 Black Steel MicroATX Mini Tower Computer Case
SAPPHIRE 100265HDMI Radeon HD 4830 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 Video Card
CORSAIR CMPSU-750HX 750W ATX12V 2.3 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS SILVER Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply
CORSAIR DOMINATOR 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMD4GX3M2A1600C8
Intel Core i7-860 Lynnfield 2.8GHz LGA 1156 95W Quad-Core Processor Model BX80605I7860
Intel BOXDP55SB LGA 1156 Intel P55 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Subtotal: $943.94

I have some hard drives. Will probably build a RAID 5 array inside after setup.


Any input?

Are you sure that is the proc you'll want? I don't think that a File/HTPC server needs so much power. Other than that I can't really fault you.
(Just to note:

If you went with the ddr2 (albeit outdated) you could set up a cheaper 64 bit system with 8+ gb of RAM.
