Palit completed the Sonic circle just a few days ago, launching its HD 4870 Sonic Dual Edition. Today, we've taken a close look at its little brother, the HD 4850 Sonic.

Follow the link to read the full review: Palit Radeon 4850 Sonic

The Radeon HD 4850 has been an especially successful product, but not without a few shortcomings; namely the single slot cooler and poor operating temperatures. Now that the reference cards have settled into the market, we’re seeing Add-in Board Partners release their own products, and Palit is one of those companies looking to stake a claim with its Sonic lineup.

Promising to offer improved cooling and performance, Palit has released the Radeon 4850 Sonic, overclocked out of the box and sporting a new dual slot cooler design. Today we push the Sonic and find out if Palit’s “Fear the Frog” marketing campaign makes us green with envy or croak with disappointment.
