new 4870 for sure then when ur hand gatal again, u can get another 4870 haha.

Can 2900XT CF performance be on par with 4870 single card performance...?

4870 + OC is better...

Maybe with no AA, it is possible.

But with AA, it is impossible..

Gainward 4850 GS
-pre-OC card 700/1000
-3 phase PWM GPU power circuit
-samsung memory 1.0ns (told by lehteck)
-custom dual-slot cooler

HIS 4850 IceQ4
-stock core n memory clock
-IceQ4 custom cooler (endorsed by the media worldwide)

i oso pening kapla...

Hey bro,

Select Gainward lar, see what the distro said:

1. Faster core at 700MHz and mem at 2000MHz. Allowance for further overclocking.

2. An innovative cooler comes with PWM fan (two-ball bearing) and solid heatpipes to ensure high performance, reliability and low noise. Totally solve the thermal issue.

2. Dual slot, better performance.

3. Less noice, below 37dB compare to reference at 47.8dB

4. 3-phase PWM GPU power circuit to provide sufficient energy for stable overclocking operation.

5. 8-pin supplementary power connector supply sufficient power to stabilize the board.

Unless you have a nice transparent Sunbeam acryllic casing, or some casing with transparent side cover, why bother so much with looks. Go for performance man!! First point alone worth da price.

Been thinking that way.. Won't be able to see the card much since my casing is a CM690 with the window.. most also see top only.. Hmm..

I see the comparison table in the pdf file.. a bit weird.. 4850 reference card idle at 70+???

idle temp at 70+ is normal if da fan speed is no be increase...

hmm no
gtx280 1gb ddr3 first release is around rm2.2k
4870x2 2gb with ddr5 memory from zhen^wei is rm1.8

just give it some time and we'll get better price from different manufacturers
anyway imo zhen^wei's price always overpriced . no offense
so check out other sellers to see the average price

so u think 4870 x2 price will reduce to rm1.7-rm1.5k?

1 4870 = rm910
if 2 4870 = rm910 x 2 = rm1820

4870 x2 = rm1850???

You need to remember that,

the upcoming(soon to be release) HD4870X2 is 2GB GDDR5 (1GB + 1GB, RM1850) and while current HD4870 is 512MB (RM910)

the upcoming 4870x2 1GB (512MB + 512MB) GDDR3 (a bit late than 4870X2 2GB) will be priced at RM14xx~RM16xx

HD 4870x2 on sale!!

overprice ?haha. if u are one of the dealers from some distributor. u will know that.
btw. the 4850 IceQ4 is special price from distri.
and 4870x2 they only take few units. the cost higher maybe. what i selling is based on the cost hey given.
u think nowadays one graphic card got RM50-100 margin meh.haha
some of them said why my price alwasy so high compare with other sellers (seamonster)
but if u are selling gecube/galaxy brand maybe u can see that, he is selling with non profit and sometime below cost to spoilt the market.

nice nice

in benchmark i think 2900XT cf win..but in game i doubt cf beat 4870.
cf 2900XT dun need 1000watt really..

2900XT now become so cheap liao.
450watt i think is enough liao ler.

erk....450watt.one 2900XT consume about 230watt,dat non oc state.

last time i use cm xtreme power 500watt.

not even a blink on d screen..

anyone knows specs of the IceQ 4 HD4850?
whether it uses reference PCB with 2 power phase design,
full copper cooler or just copper heatpipes with aluminium cooler?

dunno la bro still waiting zhen wei ask from his supplier about cooler i think its juz same as HIS 3870 IceQ3 Turbo except 2 heatpipes. i've read from somewhere the whole metal piece on 3870 IceQ3 is made from aluminum and just painted in copper color. even though it is just aluminum, the cooler does a fine job at keeping the card cool i think if full copper cooler price will expensive lar . at this price u get what u pay lar
