MSI, the world’s leading manufacturer of graphics cards, today unveils non-reference R4850-T2D512 graphics card with Quad Pipe thermal design. It uses the MSI developed “Quad Pipe” thermal solution which can completely solve the high-temperature and overheat issue of ATI Radeon™ reference design. It is quiet, durable, good for overclocking, and offers a number of amazing features. All game enthusiasts should not miss this high-end graphics card.

High-efficiency thermal design

MSI R&D team has tested the ATI Radeon™ HD 4850 reference design and found that although the gaming performance is excellent, but the thermal efficiency of the reference design is not good enough. Both temperatures of full loading and standby are very high. MSI has particularly researched and developed the Quad Pipe thermal solution which comes with 2-slot design, four 6mm thicker high-efficiency heatpipes, a pure copper base and 33 high-density aluminum fins. Then through the quiet fan which is placed in the middle of the cooler to cool down the GPU and the surrounding fins. The heat is quickly taken away, achieving rapid cooling benefits.

After intense testing, the temperature of R4850-T2D512 Quad Pipe at full speed is 65% lower than the reference design. The temperature at stand-by is only half of the reference design. It not only solves the overheat issue, but also provides a better overclocking capability.

Better thermal efficiency up to 107%
In order to allow the -T2D 512 Quad Pipe graphics card to provide better stability and overclocking performance at full speed, MSI R&D team added a large heatsink in the graphics memory and power module to enhance the cooling performance. So that the overall cooling efficiency will substantially increase by 107%, enabling gamers to enjoy the ultimate gaming experience of R4850-T2E512 Quad Pipe graphics card.

No.1 choice for gaming and HD playback
The new R4850-T2D512 Quad Pipe graphics card utilizes the latest ATI RV770 Pro GPU. With 800 stream processors and 512MB DDR3 graphics memory, it can support complex and delicate 3D processing and enable gamers to enjoy the ultimate gaming experience. It also supports ATI CrossFireX™ technology and PCI Express® 2.0 interface to provide the best performance interface for the gamers. MSI R4850-T2D512 Quad Pipe graphics card comes with the advanced UVD 2.0 video decoder core, a built-in HDCP key encryption, which supports Blu-Ray movie disc broadcast and makes 100% complete hardware acceleration to the MPEG-2/VC-1/H.264 video formats. These features significantly reduce the CPU loading, and the UVD 2.0 can simultaneously decode two video in PIP (Picture-in-Picture) mode. In addition, R4850-T2D512 Quad Pipe graphics card also can through the DVI-to-HDMI adapter to output HDMI audio and video, and supports 7.1 channel surround sound, through the adapter which can easily connect high-definition LCD TV or monitor to enjoy the experience with high-quality HD audio and video playback.
