Asus bringing ATI to The Matrix

4850 coming into the Matrix series cards.

That is pretty.

I've seen that cooler design on another of ASUS's GeForce cards before, a 9600GT or 9800GT, I think. Almost made me want to buy that video card to stick in my lanbox, just for that reason alone.

It really does look elegant, and the heat is blown out the PCI bracket which is nice bonus. I think it's a bit more expensive than comparable cards though.

- Accurate adjustments of the GPU and memory voltages
- Complete monitoring of the GPU/memory/Power IC/ambient temperatures
- Complete monitoring of the GPU/memory/board power consumption
- Automatic control of fan speeds according to advanced GPU loading detection
- Power savings that surpasses generic boards
- Customizable functions to add a new level of control for gamers

Nice.

Unfortunately, that's pretty much guaranteed to be overpriced...

- Accurate adjustments of the GPU and memory voltages

That's all I really care about. If Asus are trying to bring this 'Matrix series' to the enthusiast, one would think it only logical to do this for a 4870X2 or a GTX280 as the people who buy those cards are more likely to use the features. However I am glad they brought it to the 4850.

Hmmm, nice, I have no window though, so don't care much about how my videocards look

That cooler on the 4870 looks nice.

I leave my cover off and still don't care what my video cards look like
