i think 500w is sufficient... unless u wanna crossfire drool.gif

btw what brand is good for this card? Sapphire and HIS seem abit popular in m'sia... and HIS more expensive...
so what's the different between them? The msi OC version good or not?

No idea about Sapphire. But HIS has a damn loud fan. Easily OCable, according to my experience.

Ah? R680 @ HD3870X2 is not fully reviewed yet, and I doubt it'll lose to 8800GT.

yeah, since u say others review is stupid... then i think u should do your own review? go get a x48 and review for us... btw i'm just sharing the review, u can read yourself or u can leave it...

why the hell i need you to help me do review if i got a blitz myself? funny...

New 3870 user reported in. I bought a single slot version of 3870 (Sapphire).

Haven't got time to check the cooler performance. I kind of prefer reference board version and cooler. I heard it is better.

single slot 3870? show us show us... biggrin.gif
