QUOTE(metsatsu @ Apr 10 2009, 10:11 AM) Btw, more news of R800 http://www.fudzilla.com/index.php?option=c...=13096&Itemid=1 4850 to 4890 = worth it PSU = can handle dont buy 3870, u will regret it. if budget is much of concern, buy 4850. but if ur willing to fork out that extra RM200-300, go for 4870 1gb. for sure u won't regret it  QUOTE(gto87 @ Apr 10 2009, 11:49 AM) Ok now, if you're planning to buy 3870 because it's cheaper then IMO you're just wasting your money. Technology isn't going to stop progressing, and if you want to keep pace with it, you might as well buy the current top-level GC (or at least the one that its performance nearest to the latest) to minimize the financial damage down the road. For me, the difference between 4850 and 3870 in term of performance is already huge enough, let alone taking 4870 into account. Just go to the garage sales thread and look up for the 4850 Golden Sample version or buy a 4870 1GB. The both I mentioned just now, is the best card at their time and you won't regret buying them. Just my 2 cents QUOTE(TristanX @ Apr 10 2009, 01:09 PM) Go 4890 1GB instead of 4870 1GB. The price difference is so little. thanks for all the reply.. can i know the 3rd party GIGABYTE, ASUS etc. what the difference then if the card still same, like you see, sapphire 4850 is cheaper then gigabyte and asus what the price for 485/7/90 nowdays?

QUOTE(metsatsu @ Apr 10 2009, 02:01 PM) i would rather spend extra RM50-100 for other brands than saving just for sapphire. IMO, sapphire's after sales service sucks. QUOTE(blindbox @ Apr 11 2009, 12:43 AM) It's every one month. See that 9.4 on your driver there? That indicates it was released on April. So, after 12 month starting from 9.1, we don't get 9.13 but we get 10.1 instead.  The naming scheme is just for their record I guess  .@duncan880409: Higher clock speed doesn't necessarily mean better performance. Architecture comes into play as well. An engineer needs to balance these 2 out(or get them both at the same time  ).QUOTE(moomoojojo @ Apr 11 2009, 12:58 AM) xfx cooling system seems nice and cool..=)using it..all black.. thanks for all the reply, oh yea, as they say ATI GC is dropping price,,so which third party company is the best?? i mean overall in tech support, reliability, worth etc i get the price for GIGABYTE 4850 512MB RM559 4850 1GB 609 4870 X2 19++ (if i not mistaken) asus is abit expensive... now i plan to buy at pc fair at JB, any reommendation? |
