Picked up a used Gigabyte HD 4850 with Zalman aftermarket cooler for $10. The Zalman cooler kept temps at just 53°C — massive difference from my previous HD 3850 that hit 106°C! Tested on a Core 2 Duo rig with GTA SA, CoD4, Crysis and more. Full video here: https://youtu.be/0ORqQPk7kjs

Haha the Celeron trap — more cores but way slower! The 4850 didn't come with Half-Life 2, that was the 9800 Pro era with ATI. But it was definitely a legendary card in its time!
