this is 4890.. not those 4870..
4890 temp should lesser..

the different from stock cooler +-5C.. acceptable..

nowadays dual slot cooler become standard..

ATI RV870 scores roughly P17000 in Vantage

* Cypress/RV870: P16000-P18000
* Juniper/RV840: P95xx
* Redwood/RV830: P46xx

i guess need the juniper at least.. current also P8+++ no much different..

that's so powerful for me.. just need between RV870 n RV840 performance..
lowerend cypress maybe..

if they tweak the game like crysis sure pengsan..
but i think most game is ok..

i vote for that 4890 for power consumption..
but intrigue on the 5 series.. just hope only 1 external power..

lol if rm878 sure pengsan..
how much can sell mine..

aik.. no new card next or another month..
september just a few days left.. or u mean november? that's too late..

haha time for bionic commando.. 60+ fps no sweat..

if u consider power usage n temp.. choose 4770..
for a little bit more performance 4850..

but i think the price is correct.. otherwise ruin the 4 series..

4890 cheap edy RM799 last time RM999

normal psu caps' tend to leak.. better check them..

according to the chart:



NO

with average 4850 system just using total 250W MAX!
400W PSU is enough..

tear n wear - try get those with better component..

for gpu is normal.. even can hit till 90C..
4890 should lesser..

if after market cooler maybe on load 4870 around 70C..
actually the gpu can stand till 100+C
only ppl sit beside it sweat while gaming..

if rated @ 300W also is just safe..
4850 takes 10A ~ 120W
remaining for the system another 100W etc..
