When can we expect AMD to respond to GTX970/980?

wow. first half of 2015?

ggwp Nvidia!

Why is Idealtech so responsive to market changes but not other shops? This is why I support Idealtech. They may not always be the cheapest around, but they ARE the market.

Idealtech good for newbies or lazy people (ME!). Their RMA/Warranty promise is another factor for choosing them.

But PC building veterans/price hagglers will get better deal and have fun bargaining in Lowyat. Good luck with RMA though The thought of finding parking just to send a stick of ram back to the shop sickens me.

One last thing about Idealtech: They took my booking for Gainward Phantom 970 a long time ago. Paid the deposit. Means I sealed the deal at an agreed price.

Then they told me: "Bro. Price drop by RM100. So you now pay less than previously agreed. And here's a free mini-HDMI to HDMI cable".

WTF? WHO DOES THAT? WHAT KIND OF BUSINESS ARE THEY RUNNING??????

All hail Idealtech~! Malaysia PC Master Race's vendor of choice!

I think we should ask why no one praises Jayacom, Sri Computer etc but there are lots of praises for Idealtech even though they are not the cheapest in town.

we just pointed out that Idealtech change their 290/290x price. then digressed a bit. that's all. no hidden agenda.

visit them during PC fair in December. check them out for yourself.

Hi, my friends are asking me for opinions on his value-orientated build. Can you help me out?

Can you name some AMD cards that are good value? On top my head, I say the 285.

I can't recommend the 280x. It is priced too close to the Gainward Phantom 970, which is at RM1199.

I told my friend that the best value cards right now, IMHO are:

- 750ti (can use cheaper PSU and still 1080 at lower settings)
- 285 (the no brainer value card from AMD right now, comes with THREE AAA games)
- 970 (price to performance leader)

Lastly, I just can't justify buying AMD at the moment, except the 6350 (RM489). The i5 4460 is just too good a value at RM580. Almost all builds from Idealtech has them. Again, your thoughts.

Thank you in advance.
