good but asus price is always like premium style..

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.

I won't count on that...

3 years warranty.

Oh yeah, I hate it when my 4670 underclocks itself while at idle. Any way to disable that?

Means we're paying extra for the extra 1 warranty?

why u want to do that????

its to conserve energy and to keep the card cool.

Wha- :0

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

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

low temp=the gc long life better..

Funny you guys are going the total opposite..



Since it will void my warranty, I guess I will put it on hold.

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.

create underclock profile.

Tak pasal pasal kena ffk that time. Now really have to think hard. If not, 4870GS already mine

there is 4870 Sonic in the Garage Sales section now.

i say grab it.

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.

well.. good on you that your 4870X2 is serving you well. but really, it will be a different story when shit happens to u. i know it happened to me, so i know how it was like.

trying searching about bad customer service of sapphire in google, u will be surprised

9.4 catalyst out?

damn, tempting 2 try it out

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.
