The Radeon HD 4850 was a performance-segment graphics card by ATI, launched on June 25th, 2008. Built on the 55 nm process, and based on the RV770 graphics processor, in its RV770 PRO variant, the card supports DirectX 10.1. Since Radeon HD 4850 does not support DirectX 11 or DirectX 12, it might not be able to run all the latest games. The RV770 graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 256 mm² and 956 million transistors. It features 800 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, and 16 ROPs. ATI has paired 512 MB GDDR3 memory with the Radeon HD 4850, which are connected using a 256-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 625 MHz, memory is running at 993 MHz.
Being a single-slot card, the ATI Radeon HD 4850 draws power from 1x 6-pin power connector, with power draw rated at 110 W maximum. Display outputs include: 2x DVI, 1x S-Video. Radeon HD 4850 is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 2.0 x16 interface. The card measures 246 mm in length, and features a single-slot cooling solution.
