I noticed you are using XFX 8600 GT, how good is it? I mean, in terms of what you actually expected out of it?

Added on August 11, 2007, 1:03 amUnfortunately, spending RM1k + for a GPU is something I wouldn't do. I know the performance gap is huge and will make a world of difference, but still, it comes down to affordability. After all, my display supports upto 1280x1024 resolution and its 19". If only the 8800 GTS are less than RM1k (+-RM900??)

I LOL'ed.

Who gave you that idea?

http://www.i4u.com/full-review-204.html

The reviewer gave it a 9.5/10. It's just one review though.

And you actually believe reviews?

got 3dmark07 oleidi? Best bang for buck is surely given to colorful one. Becos US or UK didnt receive colorful product so they didint have much review about it. But china webbie there is quite alot.

Those "americans" hates asian ler, they won't bother reviewing a china based product that is made in asia and has an asian name on it.

Even if they do review, they will make it look like it's not worth buying at all.

not really asian, but rather they look down to china made product. I dunno why, maybe becoz of current china policy.

Nope, they really hate "ASIAN".
They don't just hate our products, they hate everything about "ASIAN".

if its like what u said then almost all GC board makers are asia based, MSI, Asus, Gigabyte, Galaxy and Palit all started in Asia. And all of them made in china
its just Colorful is special, it's the only one board maker based in China, the rest are either HK or Taiwan

Yes, but the thing is, Colorful keeps it's chinese word on their products, so it shows the true "asian" flag on each of their products, thus, they are being hated more than the others.

Computer War Sdn. Bhd. (PJ) is selling MSI T2D320E for just over RM1k. It's 320Mb 8800 GTS. It's also very OC. But still, its over RM1k. I just hope the price will drop with news of upcoming 8900 GTX and/or (questionable) 9800 GTX. Right now I have the 8600 series in my mind.

one of the reason they hate asian cause here got the biggest piracy thinggy happen.. all thier item ehem* been duplicate and dun get royalty for it.. haha

do u guys have any idea why does 8800gts produces tiny whistle sound when i run atitool??? my card is galaxy 8800gts oc editon (550/1800) 320mb... forceware 162.18... it can run games trouble free... funnily, i must do a little artifact scan using atitool if i wanna run the show 3d trouble free... if i run atitool show 3d straight it'll show artifacts n hang... any idea how to remove old driver cleanly n completely so i can reinstall new driver n try again???

if what u mean by remove then this is the way to uninstall the driver

Does the 8800 still stutter?

I'm not convinced with nVidia's explanation that it's a "driver problem" (It's not on 8600-8400 cards)

I'm a bit convinced by the price (RM1000 for a 320MB), but if they still lag like hell (Will be using Vista only) I won't budge.

Yea, i didnt said its wrong abt bragging it, but give some credit for those juz bought their 8600GT cards (other than Colorful brand) mah.. if u know what i mean..

sHawTY, u don't seem to understand my replies to u. Im giving u my reasons behind my questions to u, wherelse u keep repeating the same questions\replies over and over again...

And yes, everyone have bragging rights, im juz thinking for those who juz gotten they newly bought 8600GT and feel bad abt it. Or shld i say... "modesty its the best policy".. sorry to say that... i don't see that in you.

Btw, whats up with the calling "names"?..

Tbh, i wont ask him so much, if hes not selling it, as i mentioned earlier.

Imagine like noobs like me, after hearing saying 51'c [stock], then a customer bought it from sHawTY.. seeing his temp. nuthin near 51'c.. then later only ask "why like tat ah?"... and yet he mentioned [no air-con] so i assume he meant no additional cooling.

@akachester : Thx for understanding, i don't understand why he can't juz say/reply me from the start like.. "Yeah, abt the 51'c temp. its actually i added 120mm on top of my card and applied MX-1, so u might getting higher temp. without additional cooling".. or something like that..

Cheers

Shawty, if i get an unit of Colorful 8600GT OC version sell by you, what type of specific PSU i need to get for it? Is it possible to get a RM200 below's PSU to support it? Will it run with Asus M2NPV-VM mobo??

Please advise.
Thanks.

If your case has adequate airflow, stock temps wont go above 51, IMO. Look at the insides of my casing. Only when I orthos does the idle temp rise to 50 (cpu@65 !!). Else when doing nothing the idle temps are 46. This card is really worth it. Just register a new account then join the bulk. *hint hint*

Colorful 8600GT OC doesn't use any extra power plug, so u can use those normal PSU to power it up.
Unlike 8600GT UE, it needs an extra 6Pin PCI-e molex.

So basically, any chapalang psu should be enough to power up the 8600GT OC.

@TomatomanzSeedlezz
I have answered all your question, but you're the one who keep repeating the same question again and again, i advise you to read properly all my post, if you can't understand it, learn english back, i have no intention to argue with you, but for you to repeat the same question again & again, it's just pure annoying.

Look at slash's post, he's not using any extra fan "on top" of his 8600GT UE, but he still manage to get 51degrees the maximum.

I have no intention to argue with you, whatever you post after this will just show how childish of you for repeating the same question and again but not trying to understand my post properly.

This is where i will stop talking to you, if i see any of your post again trying to start back the argument, i will report your post immidieately.
Nuff said.

my 8600GT UE when 1st install, off aircon,fully stock, no thermal paste, no side panel fan. only casing front 2x 8mm fan, rear 4x 8mm fan.
idle 55* , load 72*
feel surpise and thought something goes wrong with my card when compare with u guys temp.
but after reading carefully only know u guys put thermal paste + 120mm fan
so...must read carefully ppl's post...

managed to test with my amd 3000+ 2400mhz rig, this rig is for working purpose so alot bloatware but after overclock the graphic card still manage to get 3dmark05 10227, 3dmark06 4626.
not yet test on e6600 .
for this price, grab it if u looking for 8600 series card...
