just buy 6series.. no need CF..

just wait 6970 la.. better.. no hassle with some CF issue..

i think my psu still safe using that 6870.. haha..

in term of performance CF 5series should be better..
but i donno u guys want to play what with that setup..
since the reso also already enough for average monitors..

if ready for the next future games.. by the time.. the new gpus coming and continuously single gpu setup is enough..
invest so much without fully utilize it..

unless alot of games really need that processing power..

nice need to wait sometimes..
but any chance not enough supply?

then u should calculate that USD and compare with 6 series price..

haih.. any other 6870 custom cooler?

lol everybody access until the server down? haha..

cannot oc becoz of driver or really don't have any room for it..
max out the chip could be true..

HD3D abit failed ar.. still need all the other stuff..
and the 6 monitors eyefinity a little bit tricky..

i always respect this..

Measured power consumption - 6850

1. Advertised TDP = 150W
2. System in IDLE = 173W
3. System Wattage with GPU in FULL Stress = 295W
4. Difference (GPU load) = 122 W
5. Add average IDLE wattage ~ 19W
6. Subjective measured GPU power consumption = ~ 141 Watts

Measured power consumption - 6870

1. Advertised TDP = 127W
2. System in IDLE = 176W
3. System Wattage with GPU in FULL Stress = 278W
4. Difference (GPU load) = 102 W
5. Add average IDLE wattage ~ 19W
6. Subjective obtained GPU power consumption = ~ 121 Watts

6870 is lower.. that's weird..

i think typo.. the above should 6870..

and again about this..
Here is Guru3D's power supply recommendation:

* Radeon HD 6850 - On your average system the card requires you to have a 450 Watt power supply unit.
* Radeon HD 6870 - On your average system the card requires you to have a 500 Watt power supply unit.

duh i had have enough heard that since using 3870..

on performance it lost average 5fps comparing to 5870..
well quite ok though if surpassed 45fps.. full hd reso..

so what?
if it worth in every aspect..

most ppl only focus on performance.. less in power efficiency and let aside for the movie related, transcoding etc.. should look it in the whole package..

gpu now not only for gaming..

Added on October 22, 2010, 2:22 pmok that's the bright side.. must admit..
HD3D not that promising and maybe lack of physx features..

for 3d gaming/movie etc require us another gadget (eg:3d glasses, 3d monitors).. which cost more.. at last less ppl care..

physx - well how often need those.. i'm not dying if not see flying debris and residue.. there are alot more things to enjoy..

woho that's alot..
i think need a new room ar..
make way for the 6..

time to calculate the bill with that muahaha..

what i meant was those highend gpus really need alot of power..
which contribute to high electricity bills..

ofcourse ur gaming alot if need those setup... otherwise waste moolah..

ok this is october price range...

GeForce GTX 470 - $260
Radeon HD 6870 - $240
GeForce GTX 460 1GB - $200
Radeon HD 6850 - $180
GeForce GTX 460 768MB - $170
GeForce GTS 450 - $130
Radeon HD 5770 - $130
GeForce GT 430 - $80
Radeon HD 5670/5570 - $80

and i'm heard AMD want slash the price $20?
woho usd to rm in 3.1 rate now..

6870 - $220 ~ RM682
fiu...

muahaha nicely done tech3910

well that after slash and with 3.1 rate..
even now also 6870 price is RM790..

so expecting drop abit..

that's because it has better tessellation etc and maybe extra abit of speed..
