ok bro....that mean if i using 4850 or 8800GTS also can use PCIEx16 v1.1 lo, no performance decrease right. then i no nid worry about the mobo liao... thanks ya

dunno got actual performance decrease a not lar, but single card should use so much bandwidth

ok....now just wait for price drop then can grab it

same here, but AMD have just teamed p with blizzard..
what i means is that ATi cards will gonna give out free blizzard games in the future...rumors say possible that SC2 and Diablo 3 to be packed together with graphics card...

lol...for me....free game meaningless of me...can DL ma

ya lo..bbxiong...u know when the GC price will drop again? i juts know Proc when will drop only o

lol.. but dl gaming game without paying other extra service from other 3rd party ppl.. i rather buy outside game.. ahem outside. but pd gaming ahem a little.. in kl got where sell?? wangsa maju got right?? my gf studyin there.. hmm

erm...price might drop after new batch of gc come out

.....then u know when got new batch ?

erm...new batch means new series lar...that one i dunno lo..
(you can always ask ATi and nvidia director...)

the thing is.. if you pay for 3rd party service, let's say RM45 a month, and you can finish a game download for like 2 days, then imagine what you can do with the remaining 28 days of the months...also, do not forget movies/song and others...
if you do the math that way, you can see that you are actually saving a lot

but of course, if you can still download bloody fast without 3rd party service, then it's best case..but that will never happen in bolehland

eh..BBxiong a...now the HD4850 OCed version why seem like not much difference with normal 1? just faster a little bit only o

that is much expected....gc speed depend more on the number of shader model, better specs...the 4850 is just the same with normal ones, just factory overclocked, which you also can do without problem, just need some adding to voltage, drop some temp...
so don expect it to go like 4870 performance, as OC a card will only increase a bit performance of the card, typically 10-20% is consider not bad

ooo. but tis galaxy card better than other card?? how bout msi gc??? or any better value for money or performance?? hmmm

if got money, go for XFX, cos they allow user to change heatsink, and the warranty include damages from overclocking...plus, i think they give life time warranty as well(although not so practical...)

9600gso < 9600gt < 8800gt < 8800gts

i have bad experience using msi gc card...only can OC 50Mhz in memory clock..

than...after 1 year later...ngam2 out of warranty...the gc card is dead

suggestion...
there is a reason why good brands are expensive. If you want to know, it's because they use better component, so they can have better OC range..
XFX and otehr leading US brands are good example. They even give warranty if your card is spoil of OC

i have a problem trying to get Geforce PhysX working on my softmodded 9600GSO. Any idea what's the problem?

what kind of problem... i need more specific details to take some guess()...
try to google also

I think I am the only one bro. Googling turns up no results. Basically if I enable PhysX GeForce, the Fluids demo no fluids show (even tho it says it's simulating fluids), and when I turn to SW rendering, also no fluids (just slower). When I try to do FluidMark, the program black screens when running on HW but runs fine on SW. Then when I try some of the tech demos from NVIDIA, my GC artifacts terribly and can only be restored by rebooting computer. Not sure if this has something to do with the fact that i softmodded.

I am running Vista 64bit and I see some XP64 users having similar problems so maybe this is a bit issue, but the drivers are rated 64bit so this shouldn't be. It's really driving me nuts.

i was guessing that the clock speed was too high...
remember last time i said my crysis have artifact at high setting??
i have to drop to 1450/450/750 to remove all artifact
so i was suspecting you clock speed is too high for the 'default clock' of that card, so i might wanna suggest you to drop you card speed
