I can buy the card alone @RM399. Saw it on lingloong's facebook comment. Btw, 6870 is a very old powerful card, will it last another 2 years ? Afaird later no driver update given.

Most likely will go for it as it's still quite a powerful card and can run most games well. Thanks guys. I vote for this card to, even powerful than the newest GTX650Ti which cost RM449.

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 5,144 posts Joined: Oct 2009	Another question, http://my.msi.com/product/mb/#/?sk=Socket%...tel%20i3/i5/i7) There is a feature on MSI motherboard, OC Genie II: Auto OC to boost performance in 1 sec. Is this feature for real or just a gimmick ? Took me a week just to choice a Mobo for my i3-3220, now I have look at virtu MVP feature too. Some reviews say it does not increase the minimum FPS.

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 5,144 posts Joined: Oct 2009	QUOTE(TDUEnthusiast @ Dec 16 2012, 11:13 PM) It does work, and most board manufacturers have their own overclocking feature for their boards. How far OC Genie can bring your components though depends on your board and your components' limitation. Don't expect too much from an Auto overclocking feature . I guess I go for manual overclock. Now suddenly people mention about this Virtu MVP thingy, which is like using both iGPU and GPU to boost performances. Why nowadays motherboard also pattern banyak banyak.

Senior Member 5,144 posts Joined: Oct 2009	QUOTE(omaroza @ Dec 18 2012, 12:03 PM) thanks bro for the suggestion how about intel 17? adn is there any significant different between xeon and i7. i did some reading but do not really get the different other than price. btw i do not need casing i already have it Performance is the same for Xeon and i7, Xeon is cheaper because it does not has iGPU(which is weak and useless) and lack of ability to overclock. Xeon = Price of i5 = i7's performance. This post has been edited by WiLeKiyO: Dec 18 2012, 12:22 PM

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 5,144 posts Joined: Oct 2009	QUOTE(- JaY - @ Jan 17 2013, 04:23 AM) hi thx for ur recommendation, but i'll prefer with SSD+SATA setup.. wanna try SSD lol. and i5 3470 enough? no need 3570? Just add 120GB SSD for RM300 as primary drive. But I rather spend the RM300 to get better card. You pick your choice for your extra budget. Faster game loading speed, or better performance on gaming.

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 5,144 posts Joined: Oct 2009	QUOTE(demondomon @ Jan 19 2013, 09:26 PM) hi guys! wanna ask what is my next upgrade. thanks here is my spec, Samsung SyncMaster 732N FSP HEXA 500W Asrock B75M-DGS Intel i3 3220 GSKILL DDR3-1600 8GB Sapphire HD7850 OC 2GB DDR5 Plextor M5S 128GB budget 300++. maybe larger monitor? or gaming keyboard & mouse? Your rig is just fine, and yes, change a new monitor, HD7850 is mean for 1080p. Go hunt for good < 21" monitor with your budget.

I4PDoy-mi0A GPU always the priority in gaming rig.
