CEX in graphic cards section is selling it.

6870 for RM8xx
6850 for RM7xx

another challenge for GTX460.

6870 sapphire i was quoted rm 829 wait for release it might be less than 800 as this is a pre order price will 6870 beat 5850 and match or equalize with gtx 470?

hmm...should i wait 6870 oc version?

HD6870 not bad.
heard that performance slightly less than HD5870.

OC version or not, it's just a gimmick. Unless you really do appreciate out-of-the-box performance and do not bother overclocking on your own.
Actually at this point, I think what really matters are the coolers. Some people are naturally biased against reference coolers xD

Sometimes, certain brands do offer capacitors that are a lot better, but those usually cost a lot more. For instance the Gigabyte SOC, or MSI Lightning. These appeals to overclockers who wants to challenge the limits with their ultra-pimped up configurations =P

Just my opinion.

it depends......

sapphire offer a nice vapor chamber cooler, but dint allow voltage control.

u wan something like MSI lightning o ASUS TOP which provide voltage control + more power phase.

yup..i do agree with the coolers..i like non-reference cooler more..

What is the safe bet to OC 5870 using the Catalyst Overdrive? So far the temp I get is ~50 Celcius on Idle and ~75 Celcius on full load, using stock speed and HAF932 casing. Can I push it a further more? Getting 20k score in 3DMark06.

wats ur GC then? if Asus EAH5870 got voltage tweak
but for stock/reference design the max value will b 900/1300MHz
but if u brani one try flash ur BIOS with Asus one so tat u can enable voltage tweak feature (google up yar)
*do on ur own risk..+++ better grab a decent cooler also

Mine is Asus EAH5870 v2. And I plan to use the Catalyst Overdrive instead of Voltage tweak as I'm still beginner in voltage tweak.

BTW any good cooling solution for the Asus 5870 instead of the stock fan?

I just changed my Asus 5870 First Reference Card to Artic Cooling Extreme Tri Fans, performance is really superb. Let me list down the benefit after install it.

1) Quiet, I set my fan 50% and you cant even hear a thing. Increase fan speed to 100% and there is not much noise compare with 50% fans speed in reference card.

2) Temperature wise, at 50% fan speed I got idle at 45C, and in air con 24c environment it can reach 36C (roughly, have to check again for confirmation, but definitely is 30++C), 100% fan speed (without air con) is 40C.

Price is around RM200+ for the cooler. A good performance cooler for such a monster graphic card. I haven't checked on the full load cause usually idle won't make a lot of diff when compare with every cooler. And I just reformat my OS, not yet install 3dMark. ><

bro if u put 3 GC in those pcie slots then the max ur GCs will run is x16,x8,x8 like mine b4....
