I was using Radeon HD5750 but soon upgraded to Radeon 5850.
The new HD5850 makes my room a lot hotter than last time, about 3-5 degree celcius increment.

Until today I cannot bear with its operating temperature anymore as the weather become hotter and hotter, and no longer interested in gaming.
So I decided to look for a new one. Is there any better gpu in term of performance and operating temperature and cost RM500 or below to recommend?

Major task: watch HD movie(mkv and..) on 1920x1020 screen and some graphic editing.

Sapphire 7790 costs around RM449.

I second this, it is the best choice so far.

sell the gpu and top up a bit to get either the gtx 650ti boost or hd 7850

Otherwise , the 7790 which the members suggested here should fit the bill.

Add another RM30.Feiton@Garage Sales selling Galaxy GTX660 2GB @ RM530.

Excellent choice. On par with a HD 7870, the price is really crazy for this kind of performance.

With just around RM50 price difference, the GTX660 indeed performs much better than the HD7790, making it a better buy.

More future-proof too.

for that price relative to performance, that's a value buy indeed

Second this. Good choice.. Just a little overbudget but much better performance

are you sure you guys are not seeing stuff?

Not possible for 660 series to be priced that low because a 650 Ti Boost alone is already about RM 600.

Leadtek is RM499 already.

499 is not even Ti Boost la.

And I'd start looking at his psu..

I just had my Xigmatek pc502 shut down on me gaming with the GTX 560 non Ti..

the 560 drains approx 150w on load. should work fine with your PC502.

It's true. We aren't seeing stuffs. I double checked back again just to be sure. No idea how to post the FB link here from my mobile. But you can check from Feiton's FB. Galaxy brand.

ok saw. man, that's uber cheap!

Looks like he's clearing stock because his LYN page itself doesn't have the brand, and you'll see his other 660 also not under RM 600.

TS,

Sorry to barge in here but just to explain..

Goldfries,

you're right but this Xigmatek NRP PC502 500W is pushing 4years old.
It's ok with the Galaxy GTX460 and lower powered, but when I swapped in the EVGA GTX 560 it shuts down a few minutes after loading any games like COD4 / DOTA 2.

I'm switched out the GTX 560 and now using a HD 5750 and it's behaving itself running no problems with games so I guess the gtx 560 is triggering the overload protection..
I'm surprised as well..gonna relegate it to my 2nd pc.

I ordered a Super Flower Golden Green HX600M rated 80+ gold.. The name gives me that made in china low cost quality feeling but reviews are good and gold is better than bronze..

yeah, well just stating those earlier in case anyone thinking a PSU like that is not sufficient.

they're often weakened after many years of usage.

i'm 100% sure its rm530 since i confirmed it with feiton...its Galaxy gtx 660,promotion@clearing stock i believe...pretty good value la

er, you're more than 1 hour late. see my post at 9:30pm.
