The thing about the more expensive price for those brand are because they are hardly available here. People who are bulking in here needed to take into consideration as well about shipping and their own profit. Therefore, it accumulates to be more expensive than those obtained by local distributor.. Besides, their great warranty is also a plus point if you are eager to get them. I was also shocked to see that XFX 8800GTS is going for as low as RM1k in Singapore as well..

So does that mean that if we buy from bulk that gets the products from overseas, the warranty is lifetime?

And those from local distributors are limited warranty? hmm.gif

cant be helped ler... my friggin room is hot due to bad ventilation...think i need to get the sidepanel with mesh and the side patent fan to help cool things down doh.gif

Why not open the side casing then? Would cool down a lot!

Guys, I need some advice on the 8800 GTX. I'm planning to get one in 1-2 months and wanna ask those with the 8000 series on which brand would be the best.

Thx for any advice! thumbup.gif

To be exact, I meant "depreciation"... in price  sweat.gif

For example, if u have 5900XT and wanna sell off coz u wanna get 6600GT (or any card in that matter). But u heard 6600GT its price-drop in a weeks time. If u waited for that few weeks time, but at the same time, ur 5900XT selling value will be depreciate.

(Ooo.. next mth cheaper by rm100, at the same time.. dam.. my old card had to sell less (depreciate) rm100... sumthin like tat tongue.gif).

Unless, u not selling yer 3Dcard for the next coming card, which ppl shld wait for the price drop. Errmmz... i hope u understand.. my "england" not guud  blush.gif  tongue.gif

Cheers biggrin.gif

Ya, I know what you mean.

What I meant was to get the 8800GTS as a temporary card while waiting for the 9000 series....... Of course it would mean spending more money!!! sweat.gif

Yeah, has the price dropped or still the same? If it is going to drop soon, I'd rather wait for that.....

Anybody knows whether the current prices in Malaysia is after the price drop?

bcoz suddenly thinking of my maxtor is dying soon... so i need extra money for a new HDD, then have to cut the budget to get x1950 lo

x1950gt can beat 8600gts in many games, and it absolutely smash the 8600gt to paste.
*
True. Why not a x1950pro?

X1950 cannot play DX10 games wor.....

To be sure any more 3Dmark06 n00bs out there doesnt know...

3DMARK06 its CPU DEPENDENT BENCHMARK!!!...

I gotta say... this really getting on my nerves for those who thinks that AthlonXP 2.4GHz its same as C2D 2.4Ghz...  doh.gif

Stop comparing and think its the same all bcoz its same MHz/GHz... it doesnt work that way!!!...

Damit!.. this really reminds of those ppl thinks AthlonXP 3000+ its 3000GHz...  rclxub.gif

/rants-off

Cool down dude!

Maybe it would be better to post the overall score AND the break down scores i.e. SM 2.0, HDR/SM3.0 and CPU.

That way, forumers can see the scores for the GC and the CPU separately.

Just a suggestion! smile.gif

There is no need to drop price since 2900series does not perform better than 8800series

Yeah, imo theres basically no competition. Hence Nvidia aren't worried and price will stay for now.

That's why monopoly is not good for end-users. Take MS for example........

Here's a more complete review of Nvidia 8xxx series on the latest games.

Looks like 8800 GTX is adequate enough. No need to get the 8800 Ultra, unless you're rich la..... nod.gif

Hey guys, I found a forumer selling 8800GTX for less than 2k!!! The brand is PNY.

Looks attractive. Anybody has any info on this brand?
