Galaxy GeForce GTX 460 Super OC 1GB 

This GC, priced only at RM775, OWNED the stock 5850! 
I've check most benchmarks such as on Tweaktown, Tom's HW, etc. and this GC is either equal or a tad bit faster than the 5850 default clocks...

What does this means? 
I will reconsider what I said before about the 5850 would not have a price drop because it desperately needs it to counter these premium OC'ed GTX460's...

Of course a 900mhz/1200 @ 1.15v OC'ed HD5850 can beat the OC'ed GTX460 without the slightest of a doubt, but the GTX460 already proves that it has thread into the 5850's (stock) territory...while being approx. RM200 cheaper! 
Oh about the hopelessly and almost non-contributory 5830, that cards needs to drop the price waay lower, almost close to the current 5770 price while the 'bang~for~the~bucks' 5850 indeed needs to drop the price a bit, (and don't forget price drop for the 5770 as well, Cross-Fire!!!!!)
With these three cards having a drop in their price, ATi will for sure counter big time any Nvidia's ploy to win over the GC market...
haha, I miss this price war...consumers are smiling again after more than half a year of Red domination...

huh?can do this one ah?

how?

i just bought my hd5770 nia,still enjoying  

No offense really, ATi users wants to know even more than the Nvidia users about the GTX460 
I hope we'll be seeing a steady price drop of the the 5830 and 5850 starting August..although overseas the price drop has been commenced about a week or more, it will take a little bit of time for the local market to adjust to this new pricing...
Guys, you know what..I have the nagging feeling that the existing 5850 owners that own their cards for more than 5 months now (or ever since October 2009, like me  ) wouldn't want their cards to depreciate in price, in which this 'price drop' will devalues the 5850...    
Next thing you'll know, your 5850 only laku for RM600 in Garage Sales  :

what's the best third party cooler for hd5850? using a htpc..and the temp can get a lil hot from time to time..wanna change the cooler

This "changing to aftermarket cooler will void the warranty" is actually a conspiracy created by the manufactures themselves.
Even among themselves they know such thing should not void the warranty...(infact it could possibly lessen the RMA activity because the aftermarket cooler is better than theirs thus pro-longs the life longevity of the cards.)

See, it's a legal issue thingy, they don't want to be viable by other brand's aftermarket cooler if things goes wrong from the installation of the A.M. cooler...
Just to be on the safe side, the installation of A.M cooler are unfavorable to them and they will rewards us the penalty in the form of 'warranty void' if we were to do so...

So the best thing for any cards owners (everywhere around the world) is to be assertive when changing coolers, LEAVE NO EVIDENCE whatsoever of aftermarket cooler installation when you RMA your cards..

Another thing, when putting back the stock cooler for RMA, remember to tighten the screws the exact "tightness" like how the card came out of the box...if you notice, these screws are pretty tight to screw off first time, some manufacture have a 'certain protocol' of how tight they screw their cards.

When you know this simple rule of 'pandai-pandai tukar heatsink', you can change your coolers multiple times and still be 'RMA eligible' 

Downloaded 10.7 and its CCC is still as broke as 10.6
Whatever I do, CCC will refuse to load. Ever. Mom.exe will just pop up for 1sec or so and then disappears.

And my uninstalling of drivers has been the same as ever, uninstall > safe mode > driver sweeper + driver cleaner + cc cleaner > reboot > install new driver. It used to work for older versions back then unless there's a new uninstall method which I didn't get the memo for.

How do you guys get your CCC to work?
/desperate

I see you have an Nvidia card in your sig for Phsyx, I wonder if can do CF while using Phsyx...

I found from some websites saying that a gtx 460 sli is better than HD5850 cf.. Is that true? Cos if it is I'll get the cheaper gtx460 instead.. Cos I plan to sli/cf in the future..

this one seems interesting..later i try...but little tricky yar...
i've study 1st b4 try..anyway thanx all....nice contribution 4 ATi user here

I just want to know what are those extra features that 6000 series going to offer.... Fusion tech? more improvement on eyefinity? Those are the things that I much likely needed to know. Performance benchmark, very sure is better than current 5000 series. O ya, price is also another thing I wan to know. Who knows maybe 6770 price at 1k. If 6770 price at 1k, then 6800 version will be either RM1400 or RM1800. That time I will be most happy as 5870 user. XD

WC definitely can make it <50 on full load. If by air, it will be hard. Nvr try it wit accelero extreme plus...but my sapphire 5850 rev2 is doing max 65C on 99% load  ..getting d extreme plus on monday n will c how well it does.hope can get <55C on full load lol...seem impossible  

Out of topic question..

Has anyone here doing a 5870 crossfire and add an extra physx card on a rampage 2 extreme?

Can it be done? Can fit or not? TQ
