WAH...
I WANT HD 4870 PRICE CUT TOO!!

cut sampai macam 3870 bagus ni

haha at last..just a couple weeks..


come on 4870..u must join the 'cut-cut price' contest too

I have to agree on this as i am hardcore nvidia fan. We should except cheaper price when G200B come out

KK got sell GTX280 sudah u know kah?

i hate price cuts

wana ask...
anyone has any idea..how or wat to use for the crysis benchmark test.?

like this video..

thanks:)

judging from the price cut (<1month?) of nvidia latest product, it means that GeForce GX2 280/higher end product of GT 200 series won't happen anytime soon

@snakesolidus just install crysis

wats wrong wit it?

isn't it good?

you mean the price cut won't take effect in local market soon?

when new card price cut . your old Gc value also cut lol

err, from my post that u quote,

what i mean is..


take a look at 9 series, when HD3870x2 comes out

nVidia did not bother to pricecut any of their product, but to release 9800GX2 to gain back performance crown

but at their GTX 200 series,

the GTX 200 series launch not yet reach 1 month,

and yet, they just do the price cut, which means, no higher-end product that can compete upcoming HD4870x2 ? time will tell..

p/s: this is my opinion

NVIDIA Predicts Weaker Earnings Due to Defective GPUs, Warns of Lower Sales




Sos Cili

Latest Prices of GTX 280

1. It's pretty obvious that any "GTX290/ULTRA" chip will not outperform a 4870X2 in the majority of tests. So they're not bothering.

2. Maybe they went to the forums and saw that people were utterly sick at the degree of their arrogance, market flooding and one-upsmanship at all costs of users. I wonder if the 8800GTS 512MB guys still have "proper" drivers to use. Hohoho...

thats why

nvidia really suck money lor...

GTX280/GTX260/9800GTX is having more price cut again : http://forums.vr-zone.com/showthread.php?t=297724

This new pricing will take VERY LONG time to effect M'sia

nice.
those who bought the gtx200 recently really can bang wall.

well, i am still using the current nvidia vista drivers, hassle free dude..... no prob "at the moment"

not necessary...

i'm looking forward for 2nd/3rd card for SLI..LOL

That'll make 4870x2 have the ultimate performance crown. Impressive, but I want nvidia to make a monster with a monstrous price too. It's good for customers .




Unless they say RM 200 to RM 400 is nothing (malaysian prices aren't nvidia's retail prices).

Nvidia IS currently still the performance king with the XFX 9800GX2 Black Edition card roaming around.

9800 GTX: $165 (S$199) = RM550

GTX 260: $222 (S$329) = RM730

GTX 280: $392 (S$499) = RM1.3k

Wah the price cut so...
But the card not future proof.Why?Becos DirectX 10.1 maybe.

There is no such thing as future proofing when it comes to Graphic cards. A new one is always announced within 2 months.

Yes.But would u buy again??
I mean like for those who want a permanent.Not an easy upgrade user.
Those user that want a computer that last for x years and no upgrade.If GTX 2xx is using DX10 and then comes again GTX200b with support of DX10.1 the user have to buy again the GC which it is unknown the price.
Like current HD 4870 as an example,you dont really have to worry about anything,becos DX 10.1 is already supported.No need to upgrade anytime soon.

Like that i also can buy GTX 280 now.Then re-buy again the future card coming.So good,unless you have a money to do that.

Well, the closest thing to future proofing is just to get the latest graphics card. But here's the thing, DX10 is not essential, not until Windows 7 is in effect. The majority still use XP over Vista so whatever graphics card that has been launched within the last year will survive until the end of next year.

That's OEM/AIB pricing la.

But it meant nVidia still can get profit even they reduce the price drastically. before this, nVidia untung besar la. Thanks to ATI save us from nVidia.

Yes there is,
at Q4 2008/Q1 2009, nvidia will adopt DX10.1,55nm and GDDR5 for their new card, buying current GTX200 now is ..<insert your own conclusion>..


DX10.1 is what DX10 suppose to be, or in other word, DX10.1 is the "real" DX10.

Take note that Windows 7 is base on Vista, so what makes you think Windows 7 will make DX10 essential?

Haha, more new cards come out means price drops drastically for everything else, I predict in a year or two, everyone would be running SLI or Crossfire in their machines


Sorry if I got the wrong idea conveyed. I meant that the minor graphical improvement of DX10 in Vista is not so drastic that everyone is required to switch over now (As many can testify + the fact that Vista still contains many problems)

Just stating a personal hope that Windows 7 would be the right time to upgrade since it's very much a Vista v2 where they will *hopefully* get it right, the time that DX10 will truly shine.

So explain, why is DX10.1 what DX10 was supposed to be? I want to see evidence, not rumors.

Sorry, there is no evidence but,

From what i read from various source (Wiki,etc),


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DirectX_10#DirectX_10
http://www.pcper.com/images/reviews/472/Di...aper%20v0.4.pdf

From what I understand, DX10.0 had a buggy AA implementation. DX10.1 fixed that.

The shader/AA bug caused a huge slowdown. DX10.1 gets it back up to speed.

"DirectX 10.1 offers incremental improvements to the programming interface that address limitations of DirectX 10," read bugs "

well.. i think i read somewhere nvidia can enable DX10.1 features on its DX10 parts via extensions... is that so?

Exactly, there is no evidence because it's not true. And unlike what the moron there says, limitation != bug. Otherwise you'd have to call all the new versions of DX as simple bugfixes since they... (surprise surprise) add new features.

is GTX260 a good buy ?

yeah, no evidence on gaming (AC is excluded...they just accidentally DX10.1-ed their game)

however, DX10.1 features proven at Ray-Tracing rendering

@0168257061 malaysia still at old price of GTX260, before new price takes effect, HD4870 is better buy

the revised price for GTX260 in RM about how much ?

260? 280 la

Spotted XFX 1 @ Pacific Ngiu-Kee

same as 4870 price , $299 (RM9xx)

If its same better grab 4870??
HD4870 performance is on par GTX 260 or better or abit slower?

lets party up a squad and robe it


wow....
quite nice price

GX260 still have some advantage over the size of graphic card memory, so if u using some very video memory intensive app. GX260 is a better choice....

i understand that DX10.1 have new method of implementing the some advance AA rendering which significant reduces the workload of gpu compare to Dx10, but whether it have something to do with ray tracing or not i not sure about it

if im not mistaken, GTX260 mostly behind to 4870 at high resolution

DX10.1 features/technology enhance ray-tracing rendering time , read it here : http://www.tgdaily.com/content/view/38145/135/

Sorry a noobie question... can GTX280 run on a P5Q Deluxe? what if its on SLI?

Ah..... I see some sellers are already adjusting the pricing for GTX280. Available at RM19XX and such. Now thats good.

let raid some gtx series for ourselves~!!!

Nvidia's GTX series soo expensive compare 2 Ati HD4000 series
