if u dun change also can... juz a suggestion... but for the PSU... i think that one need a change...

has asus launched 1gb 4850 already?
pc zone lists them in their pricelist, pricing is unavailable though
anyone bother to check?

Are you sure? I thought requirement for HD4850 only 450W? Em actually what happen if i don't change the PSU? I'll get artifacts or something? Also, anyway to check my PCIe is v1.0 or v2.0? I check my mobo website on the specific model but it didn't mention PCIe 2.0 or 1.0 just PCI Express X16 slot.

most probably your com will reboot when your psu cant handle the load
imo your psu might only be able to support 4850, maybe a 4870 but i doubt 4850x2 can be supported
----------Edit------------
just checked on the ati certified list
if your psu model is FMA II DXX (EG465P-VE)
its able to support 4870 and 4850

Thanks alot Kytz. Then i guess it will not be enough for HD4850X2 then. Maybe i'll just grab myself a HD4850 or HD4870 at max. And probably change to another rig for higher end gc

PowerColor Radeon HD 4870 PCS OC Emerges : http://www.techpowerup.com/66241/PowerColo...OC_Emerges.html

Nice cooler, but still use reference board

haha

HD 4850 X2 $ 450 = RM 1.4k
HD 4870 X2 $ 500 = RM 1.6k
HD 4870 X2(2GB) $ 550 = RM 1.8k

Lolz sia.Each has RM 200 different.So pick ur self

My gosh RM1.4K for 4850X2? .. I buy 2 HD4850 CF also no need RM1.4K

Anyway not sure the pricing here in m'sia yet. If too high it won't be worth for X2.

this is just a raw estimation since its onli a rumored prices... surely the price might differ a bit... but heck.. the estimated price alreadi but hope that the price is as good as the performance...

But its better than CF becos of the bandwith.The heat,power consumption..etc.Thats just estimation ma.no need worry.

the price correct ?

Cool!

Its just an estimation..Dont worry.Just wait.No one knows the exact price yet.

hmm if its good i might let go one of my 4870 and cfx the other one with x2..

Hey guys...
I used the change fanspeed technique...
By using GPU-Z i checked my temp for 2x4850. One of them are 50" and another one about 80"...

How to make the 2nd GPU running as 50" as well ?

the first one label as fan 0 in the profile and the second one is label 1,so make sure to change that one also:

<Feature name="FanSpeedProtocol_0">
<Property name="FanSpeedProtocolProperty" value="Percent" />
</Feature>
<Feature name="FanSpeedAlgorithm_0">
<Property name="FanSpeedAlgorithm" value="Manual" />
</Feature>
<Feature name="FanSpeedRPMTarget_0">
<Property name="Want" value="0" />
</Feature>
<Feature name="FanSpeedPercentTarget_0">
<Property name="Want" value="80" />
</Feature>




<Feature name="FanSpeedProtocol_1">
<Property name="FanSpeedProtocolProperty" value="Percent" />
</Feature>
<Feature name="FanSpeedAlgorithm_1">
<Property name="FanSpeedAlgorithm" value="Manual" />
</Feature>
<Feature name="FanSpeedRPMTarget_1">
<Property name="Want" value="0" />
</Feature>
<Feature name="FanSpeedPercentTarget_1">
<Property name="Want" value="80" />

will the price of hd4870 drop when 4870X2 and 4850X2 release...?

got any idea.. 4870x2 need how many watt of psu ??

the answer will be revealed in September.
