U mean enable dual core of ur gtx295? of coz u can in almost all mobo..

rofl, too much temptations from nvidia cards.. i think going to buy gtx 295 at last rather than gtx 285..

Yeah, I'm a former 4870x2 user and the driver is very troublesome.. Somemore, the 2nd gpu always not functioning well ... Will buy the oldie gtx280.. Although the newer version has come out (gtx 285) but the performance, wattage output, temperature are more or less the same.. oh yeah, I like the backplate as well, too bad they didn't include one in gtx285...

U shud sell off ur gtx 280... jk.. Hope the gtx280 will be mine tonite..

Oh yeah, if wanna oc the card, use rivatuner only right? Never oc Gc b4..

Try xfx/evga la.. Lifetime warranty..

Too bad not many evga products come to Malaysia lately... They provide really nice services..

I know not in Malaysia, but still can be send to US right? nevertheless, their products provides better bundles, packaging, etc..

Hehe, just bought ENGTX 280 from chiajack for Rm1k... Rm500 less than GTX 285...

90 months? 90 days la... don't worry, this is just my temporary graphic card, won't overclock it.. Funding to chrome my silverstone tj07.. After that, this baby will go to seamonster's rig...

Yeap, initially wanting a gtx 285 but the performance increment is not big.. I'm not going to play crysis on this card le, only play the 7 years old enemy territory wolfenstein competitively.. so, no point for me to buy high end card for the game that can be played smoothly on the integrated graphic with pentium 3 processor..

Can anyone recommend for me a good looking and great performance water block for gtx 280 (gt 200) ?

It's ok if I sli gtx 280 with other gtx series card, right? As long as I put the faster one on the main slot right?

Rofl, I just saw a guy sli his gtx 295 with gtx 285 on YouTube..

what's up with the size of the screen? i thought screen resolution matters, which in this case 4870x2 wins due to higher and faster memory..

Bigger screen doesn't always mean bigger resolution.. Although generally that's true, but u don't know how technology has advanced.. Even 22 inch screen can supprt full hd resolution even though that resolution only applied at 24 inch monitor not long ago..

I won't argue much.. At least u guys should be more specific, let say, erm, by typing screen resolution in the first place? Yes, I know what u guys are trying to say, but the point is not all bigger screen monitor offers higher resolution.. Not all >30 inches monitor have 2560 x 1600 resolution.. Take tv monitor for example, not all offer high resolutin.. I know u guys will say we are talking about desktop LCD, not tv, but tv is still a monitor.. Get what I mean? That's why I would like to emphasize on the screen resolution and not size of the screen. Hopefully u guys don't generalize that earlier statement..

That's why I said, be more specific when trying to say out a statement. Everyone assumptions are different. Therefore, do not generalize the earlier statement.

U guys might have been talking about pc desktop lcd all along, but u guys stating 30 inch monitor in the first place, not 30 inch desktop LCD.. A monitor is a very common and general word, as the whole thing, while LCD desktop falls under it.. Both of them refers to two different meaning.. Tv LCD also considered a monitor as well.. So, i dont thing i was wrong for assuming that u guys are talking about tv monitor as well.. Well even some uses tv LCD to in their rig, mind you , and max resolution did they get? Tepuklah dada tanyalah selera.. and yes, I don't like generalization of a word which might end up having various meaning/antonyms.. It's very confusing especially for different people with different level of understanding of phrases..
But what the heck, I didn't say u guys are wrong, but just a friendly advice to be more specific next time.. no offense ya..

No, not popular in Malaysia.. Got a brand with a Japanese name I saw few years ago, starting with letter 'a' which I forgot the full name.. Butyeah, it really does exists.. Can ask uncle google if u don't believe rather than me spoonfeeding u.. so, can I laugh at u now?

Btw, this is getting ridiculous.. No one is right or wrong.. Let's just forget about it and stick to the main idea, which is higher gpu ram = better support for higher resolution.. With this, I rest my case..

Well, if you are not playing graphic intensive games, why should you? Your quadro should serves you well.. Or if u do wanna game, gtx 285 sli is a better choice..

Yeap, micro stuttering is really bad in dual procs gpu .. Really recommend u to buy gtx 285 sli for maximum performance or, maybe just a single gtx 295 if u wanna save up some space on ur mobo.

Should u guys create a new thread? exceeds 125 pages liao..
