example: distro bought the stock for 600/pc , they can't just simply sell the same stock for 500/pc as soon as manufacturer announce the price cut, simple.

anyway, waiting games is good

patient is the best virtue

Ahahah!

That probably means the 9800GTX is forever stuck at RM1.1k, mahal over 4870

not forever, prolly after the gtx+ stocks come and 4870 price drops maybe

just to compare

4 series not doing well in 3dmark06, try vantage

How to adjust fan speed..?

Tried speedfan and rivatuner both cant...

Thank you bro for the common sense!

Please think:

1. If unhealthy price war, sooner or later all distros will lingkup then who will bring in nice stuffs for you all.

2. Right now, our margins are already razor thin (unbelievable if we tell u) due to volume pressure and fast changing models. Eg. NOBODY follow ATI recommended price for the HD4000 series, it was rock bottom from day one. Further, most distros made heavy losses from selling old stocks. NVidia has NEVER provided price protection till recently for the GTX series. That too might take sometime to claim.

3. Who can sell at cost/loss and yet provide service, checking, warranty, shipping to & fro Mfg for customers. If many distros close due to unhealthy competition, what do you think will happen (to models & prices) if only left 1-2 distros for VGA? Imagine your VGA dying on the 11th mth and you found out distro closed/no more carry. Do you have any idea how much it cost to courier your card to HK/China?

I could go on and on about the whole cut throat mobo & VGA biz, but you get what I mean: use common sense lar. Let us survive, so that everyone can enjoy good stuffs with reasonable pricing and good service too.

Cheerio!

GTX 280 June = RM2300
GTX 280 July/August = RM1650

HD4850 June = RM690
HD4850 July/August = RM5XX

After this all distros/shops dont want to keep/sell graphic cards anymore.
So we only have 1 choice, buy through bulk order.

well gd news anyway
juz forget nvidia.....they juz know earn $$ oni
the price can drop frm 2.3k -> 1.6k juz for a month
image how much they earn.....
ATi FTW gd card 4 gd price

yes, u r right, ATi and NVIDIA should have some kind of price protection to fix their price whenever they set it up. These days we see they just suka hati announce price cut just for sake of price war,

Like my previous company, they selling their office furniture to the dealer with some table planning , showing that after some period the price should be change to another level , so the dealer would plan their market base on the table given.

Best of luck to u distro , plz do whatever u can to survive so u can serve us well.

well, my 'stuff' has not arrived yet.
