QUOTE(DarkSilver @ Jul 25 2010, 12:26 PM) Won't be long. If Geforce GTX460 impacts the Radeon HD5870 Price Tag, then the Radeon HD6000 might too. I don't think GTX460 can impact HD5870's price tag. AMD has no reason to drop the price. It will be around RM 1000 lastly.  |

QUOTE(ronaldlee007 @ Aug 7 2010, 12:07 PM) If only +/- 1c-2c (Tx2 & Tx3), doesn't really matter. It's hardly noticeable. 6°C - 8°C of temperature decrease is not due to the quality of the thermal paste. It's due to the technique and amount of thermal paste applied to the GPU. Usually, stock paste is overly applied, resulting in weak heat conduction. I will use Tx2 if i were to try it later. But from the stock paste to Tx2 or Tx3, it is really worth since +/- 6c-8c.  |

QUOTE(law1777 @ Aug 7 2010, 03:03 PM) this is so wrong!! temperature differences ALSO due to the QUALITY of the thermal paste u use QUOTE(DarkSilver @ Aug 7 2010, 03:12 PM) +1. He's indeed wrong. Thanks for your clarification.Ignore the QUALITY 1st. Applying a lot of Thermal Paste doesn't mean to reduce heat conduction. Personally, I have tried to test Minor, Optimal and Excessive Thermal Paste for my Processor. Minor Thermal Paste, resulting temperature goes higher than usual. The heat conduction is not optimized due to micro-gaps between HSF and CPU. Optimal and Excessive, result. Both give optimal cooling performance. However, excessive of Thermal Paste can cause the Paste to spill everywhere when pressure(from HSF) is applied. It's safe if the thermal paste your use is Non-Electrical Conductive, like Tuniq TX-3. Now, QUALITY/PERFORMANCE of the Thermal Paste. Good Thermal Paste(better chemical compound/composition) allows more heat to be transfered while Poor Thermal Paste(lousy chemical compound/composition) allows lesser heat to be transfered. However, what I am saying is that the magnitude of temperature decrease is not achieved by quality of the thermal paste. Applying excessive thermal paste indeed reduces heat conduction between the GPU and heatsink. You may try lapping your GPU and not using any thermal paste. The temperature will be lower. This is because the heat conduction of the thermal paste is not as good as direct contact. Hence, applying excessive thermal paste will decrease the performance. |

QUOTE(kurtkob78 @ Oct 22 2010, 08:33 PM) so now AMD has some kind of physic engine .... any game that suppport this ? Nope. There has been no announced game that would support this physics engine (IINM, called Bullet). Up till now, AMD has been a pioneer in bringing new stuff to the gaming world, but there's almost no game that utilize those new features (like tessellation in HD4000 series). |
