asus pricing is roughly rm100 to 200 more expensive than other brands. So instead of going for asus, i went for sapphire, just as good.

Wha- :0

Why you want disable that, it is the features that everybody wants (underclock = lower temp) laugh.gif

But you can disable it via bios flash, modify the 2d clock to 3d clock..

You don't need hyper speed to run things in 2D mode like desktop or watching movies. That is why they made the card underclock itself. No point of getting extra speed, just heat and power consumption.

i dont really worried about the additional 1 year warranty. by the time my 4870X2 reach the 2nd year or so, its also time to change the card.

Anyway, if my 4870X2 can last me a year, im happy enuf.

Whether the the sapphire Quality is not on par with asus, that i seriously dont know.

IF the card is already obsolete, then the warranty claim will be an issue. Either the owner will need to wait for months or they might replace it with another card that is equivalent in value...... im quite sure its not going to be one to one swap. Correct me if im wrong.


Well, this is just my opinion. smile.gif

I'm one of the 3870 user that switch to 4850 without any regret. I felt the performance difference, if budget is a limitation, 4850 GS is a pretty good choice. Longer warranty and good after sales support is a great plus when your product has failed, I've experienced it before, so better safe than never. Second hand gpu is another alternative for budget concern group.
