if u ask me, i would go for 4770..with a lil overclocking, 4770 could erase that 5% difference

u can easily do it with AMD OverDrive or ATi Tray Tool

wat do u mean your rig cant handle it?

overclock affects the card only. how does overclocking the card negatively affect your system?

if cost is not a problem for you, then get the 4850.
4770 is cheaper with performance that is not far off 4850

bro, 4770 consumes lesser power than 4850, have you taken that into consideration as well?

Quick question, for a 500 MYR budget, which card would you recommend?

No OC and temp. is 80-90 celsius is high to me.

think u got a heat problem

dear sifu,
my 4770 is running at around 47-51 celsius at idle and when playing games it'll hit 64-68celsius
no overclock.

will buying those gc coolers be able to bring down the temp anymore?
if yes, which one should i get, any recommendation?
budget is around rm100

abit paranoid, since my previous gc got overheated...
the room where my pc is located can get quite hot, especially in the afternoon when i leave it on and close all the windows...(when i gone to work)
oni ventilation is the fan and the casing has 2 120mm intake fan in front (no side fan) bit doesn't seems to be enough as the intake air doesn't seems to be able to reach the gc...

casing is a cm elite 

hoping to get some advice...

Which is better? Hd4770 or hd4830?

Which one should I get?

really r, even dual core lag when playing 1080p?
so it means i need to upgrade my system la after this,
but anyway thanks for the link,
i will try to tweak any other possible way to make it play HD video,
before i upgrade my system..

btw whats the minimum requirement for HTPC system,
my budget is kinda low for now....
