newbie passby here
ok, although im kinda noob in computer
but i seriously advise u dun buy this gc, coz im the stupid guy who buy this
i bought the asus 8500gt n try the DMC4
the game can only playable in low settings n my game benchmark result is D
buy other gc which is abit expensive than 8500gt if u really wanna play that 2 games

hai!!! newbie here
im using Asus nVidia GF 8500GT sure the weakest gc among u guys

hai all, i bought my pc on last year May
i wanna upgrade my gc soon, probably after CNY
here my rigs:

processor: intel c2d e8200 2.66Ghz
motherboard: Asus p5k-se/epu ( p35 chipset)
ram: corsair 1GB ddr2 667Mhz
hdd: Western Digital 500GB 7200rpm 16MB SATA2
current gc: Asus EN8500GT Silent 256MB ddr2 pci-e
dvd drive: Asus dvd-rw 18x LS IDE DRW-1814BLT
casing: Icute 450w ZL06-4G-CF
keyboard & mouse: microsoft wired desktop
monitor: samsung syncmaster 943NWX
power supply: 450w ( not sure bout true power)


i would like to know which gc best suited with my current specs
my budget is around rm500-1000, i dun mind overbudget a little bit
currently, my 1st choice is 4850/9800gtx+
btw, i hope can get 4870/gtx 260 but i kinda blur with the power consumption (i have done the psu calculator with gtx 260 & the result is 330w only)
my pc now still under 1year warranty, so i hope can avoid changing psu
in case tat my psu really needed to b changed, pls recommend a suitable psu
thanks 1st

p/s: i hope u guys wont angry if im write too much

i think u misunderstand my opinion
that is my current rigs
and i plan to upgrade gc only

sorry bro, actually im now still nVidia user i report in few weeks b4

now make up my mind to change both psu & gc
if buy gtx 260 then overbudget aredi
mayb save up $$ till late Feb/early March....or accidentally get tons of angpau $$$
thanks for u all great helps

p/s: sorry guys coz i often ask but seldom give feedback

depends on which brand
Zotac's RM1170
Gigabyte's RM1080
Palit's RM899
XFX'x RM1200-1300 (not sure 216sp)

i think crysis too demanding but not ur gc slow

mayb i can help u bout this, different gcs but has similar answer referred to ur question


btw, it is kinda hard for me to find the review of certain nvidia gc tat has both 512MB & 1GB now
if cannot post above kind of link, pls inform me & i will edit ASAP

i think u go to OverclockersUnited more useful

can i ask something??
can v really notice the difference by increase the core,shader,memory clock bout 10-50Mhz
i never knew oc b4 until now

thanks, i think im better not try oc right now

is it silent versio??
mine oso asus 8500gt which dun have fan(at least i din see it )

hi all!! finally i get new hdd & can on9 already
anyone here know bout palit gtx260 sonic?? how much the price?? can i get it in LYP??

whenever u search the review, almost all review state tat 4870 same perfomance with gtx260 216sp^^
btw, gtx260 wins coz this is nVidia thread

do u mind to tell me which shop in LYP sell palit gtx260 216sp Sonic??
u used vacuum?? lols

lols, u guys try open the sticker carefully, but the stiicker is easily koyak at ur own risk
last time, i accidentally koyak my psu warranty sticker, i paste it back and it shub b hardly to notice hopefully psu stands till warranty end
lols, my keyboard oso full with dust below the button, dunno how to clean
btw, arent u guys find it weird when u guys see the gpu fan location?? the fan sucks hot air & blow down instead of blow it up
while all of us know tat hot air is light & shud b rise up....off topic shud b added into PMR/SPM

cheap cheap microsoft wired desktop

thanks for ur explanation

can oso get palit gtx 260 216sp RM899 on czone
or wait till March/April coz nVIDIA will make new pcb for gtx260, which is 55nm gpu + abit low production cost
for me, 55nm is almost same with 65nm coz human eye not so sensitive kidding

wth rename product finally arrives
