@Xcrosin
why not spend a little more and go with the new sapphire 4890
only RM669 with a good cooler. u can overclock the bejesusouttait~
and get performance close to GTX285 easily. some games even outperform GTX285.

gigabyte is better? but i dun like ori cooler

hmm...

i think Galaxy GTX260+ OC is almost the same performance

the gtx 260 soc is nearly on par wit gtx285 and same level wit 4890 ( gtx260 soc 100% stable no ned to oc ur self)

i prefer nvidia card more than ati card but i love amd

aiyoyo fan boy

is the bolded part REAL?!

how much is that card?

for real is for real but the pricing wise and the cooling wise.
go with the sapphire 4890 with the custom cooler.
heat is your enemy~~~~
trust me. why take a lower end card when u can have a higher end card.
why go par when u can exceed. =D

then better save the money wait 5850x2 come out sure 5850 will drop price around rm 8xx but ati 58xx is a very long GC make sure ur pc hav enuff space for it

nobody can answer me?

lol.i tried with the mouth way.....end up with some flu

my casing can fit 5850 for sure but cant fit 5870 for sure

i cant really understand what u are saying expect the bolded part

he means that the overheat generate from the unit will kill your GPU easily lor... by using some custom cooling, the temperature will be more kicking down.... anyway, those card recommended by him is cheaper by noww....

actually heat is not an enemy but OVERHEAT is a real enemy on the real world not real madrid.. hahahahhaha

im opposite from u
i prefer ATi but love Intel

275 not sure

im opposite from u
i prefer ATi but love Intel

pls spoiler the pics or dun quote pics at all

Many asked the same question..and it is simple,for sure 922 is better in performance and has bigger space.
So,if u have budget then choose 922 and if u low on budget then just choose Scout~

LOL!!!!

@Xiia0Ban
go for Gainward/Palit sonic or the MSI lightning if u want custome cooling.
as for standard cooling just go for any brand that is the cheapest although do put pre-overclocked version in consideration.
but still recommend radeon HD4890 over GTX275

for those who fancy GTX285 or GTX295 should go for radeon 5870 and 5850 instead as compare price/performance

those who bought those ASUS ROG MATRIX GTX285 should be pist because it cost considerably more than radeon 5870 and it is murdered by it in every game benchmark.. even dead space which is bias to the green team.

in my opinion. stay away from nvidia till the GT300 cards are leased.

but the palit GTX260 sonic is still worth considering for mid range card as the price is relatively cheap.


and between the scout or the haf922
personally i choose HAF922 (with the meshed panel. for side fan instalation) because the space is bigger. and when the space in ur rig is bigger is gives ur component more space to breathe = lower temp without the need of those overly powerful and noisy fans. what you need is decent air flow.
as for the scout.. to me the design is just CM690 going through a plastic surgery. and believe me you can achieve better air flow with CM690. just get one and strip it down and spray the interior black and u get one nice looking rig. although the front USB port are less on the CM690 it also gives u the option to install a... lets say card reader or those fan controller with card reader + USB as not many motherboard out there comes with 3 USB front panel header on the mobo. commonly it comes with 2.

i am using 932 here with p5q-e which only have 2 front panel USB header which is now occupied for the 4 USB port in front meaning that i can't install an internal card reader unless i sacrifice 2 off the USB port at the front.

OH BTW GUYS will post new photo of my 932 with those white led black blade xigmatek fans. massive air flow into the casing now i must say. i'll let you do the match
5x xigmatek XLF 12cm fan intake 61CFM each. 1x 230mm stock red led fan intake (not sure about the CFM it would be nice if any of you would let me know) and 1x 14cm fan which came stock with the casing as exhaust fan (also dunno how much CFM) mounted on my drive bay area.
exhaust - stock 230mm fan exhaust top and 1x xigmatek xlf 14cm fan 63CFM rear exhaust. =D
i am imagining 5x sythe slipstream fans. as intake LOL. it would be insane.....
