i dunno why u suddenly tell me bout psu lol.. i was talking about gc TDP

Because the GC TDP is related with how much power is required for the system

Hey guys, wht is the best upgrade from HD4870(1gb)? price around maybe 500..no more than 550. Wanted the 6870..but over the budget T.T Pls recommend me...i don mind NVIDIA also.

Hmm. RM550? Try the GTX460 768MB

then it is better for you to keep your HD4870, and save up more for upgrade

because for RM500, the best you can get iis only HD5770, which is on par with 4870 but only runs more efficient (less power consumed, less heat)

If not mistaken, GeForce GTX460 786MB will be phased soon.
It will be replaced by GeForce GTX460 1GB SE(Sucks Edition) which is slower than the original GeForce GTX460.

Y dun u try search around garage sales for 2nd hand 5850? there might be at ur price range

new sapphire hd5850 onli rm599~~

i do realize new at rm599 only. but 2nd hand got around at 500-550. depends on d item age. im trying to resist to go for cf. keep telling myself not worth it.

dun resists, just do it
but seriously, 5850CF has some real power and can last you quite long, and even longer if u willing to sacrifice some eye candy.

Yeah 5850CF is powerful
Just OC the card and it will do wonders XD

Cant do, my wallet wont permit me, juz get iphone4 and now only left enough to survive

even though CF can do wonders, but my wallet cant do wonderssss
but might get at next yr february if my wallet able to recover
can't wait for the review of 69xx. this year sure is exciting and next yr will be a very good timing for those whom wan to buy new rig.

CF 5850 is really worth the bucks spend. like instant turbo for your turbo system...

Just got myself a HD 6870... loving it now. This GPU is loooong...lol

Sell off the Iphone4, get an android for RM800 and another HD5850 to do CF lol

awaiting cayman gpus...feels so long more...

abit OT
maybe just sell off the iphone 4 and use it for living
always good to have extra cash in hand

haha. if i know 5850 price will be so low in october, i wont go buy this phone n will go for cf liao. but its too late.
anyway i will get it early next yr. juz hope d 69xx will drop d 5850 price moar.

Well, if pocket is tight, better don't force yourself to CF..
Besides, after few months, when u have money, mayb you can sell off your 5850 and buy 2x6850 to CF

i agree tat 68xx performance is better than 5850. but i will skip 6xxx series. will wait for 28/32nm.
even 5850 is now enough for me cf will be like turbo for me.
