4850X2 already pawn GTX 280 right?
Price expected $ 450 and September is schedule to release..

4850X2 difference with 4870 X2 is $50 and $100
Becos AMD release 1GB and 2GB versiom
2GB = $ 549
1GB = $ 499

I guess 4850 X2 should be $400~450

Emm.. not to be confused but i understand that 4850x2 and 4850X2 CF is both different right? Whereby 4850x2 is a single card actually CFed without requiring a mobo with CF functionality?

I hope we can expect to see 4850x2 to be around RM800+. Ah but i don't think that's possible.

Archaven, the 4850X2 would be much better as the 965 doesn't have enough PCIe lanes to get nice performance from CF.

Oh, and BN (Barisan Nvidia) vs PKR (Pakatan Radeon)!

If not mistaken my mobo should be PCIe 2.0 just no CF or SLI functionality. Damn if need to change mobo again 

I'm currently using PSU Enermax FMA-II 460W 32A dual 12v rails. Was wondering if it's enough for HD4850 or HD4850X2? Hopefully i don't have to change PSU soon 

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

How can i know or how do i check whether my mobo or my cpu is bottlenecking or limiting the GPU performance? Any software to check that?

Wanna ask. Anybody has use the HDMI output of the 4850/4870?

I understand it has built in sound...something like Realtek codec built in? How setup this? There seems very little info on this. I'm thinking of connecting my PC to LCD TV and play some games with it.

btw, there is no official drivers for 4000 series yet...even at AMD website. Sapphire also don't have....

Real joke lar....

Think i'll try tonight. The Sapphire card really cheapskate one, manual pun tadak.(that piece of card inside the box is not very useful)..i guess that's the price you pay for a top brand like Gigabyte and an economical one like  Sapphire.

I've downloaded the manual from Gigabyte's website for their 4850 card. Looks like there's a 'ATI Realtek audio' which can be selected from the control panel. Must give it a go tonite.

Cheers.

The noise acceptance and temperature level depends on the user preference. Just pick the the balance level that you like.

When are those non-reference 4800 card will reach Malaysia?

was planning to buy Samsung F1 1TB but I ended with Gainward 4870 hehe.. will get the hdd next mth along with a new psu.

 





the finish product : D

woot.. nice card there... thinking of getting one myself...

I thought for ATi cards Sapphire/HIS/Powercolor are one of those of better quality? I saw on some seller thread mentioning that's why the price are more expansive 

Do you guys know that we can stress the GC for few seconds by using CCC?
The Test Custom Clocks button on Overdrive.It forces the GPU activity > 100%
But last 5 seconds only.Or i am late?

Yeah i use ATi Tools to stress.But this is for those to check the Load temp for the GC.

If you guys having problem with the heat, I really suggest you get Thermaltake HR03-GT as what I can recommend coz personally I used it and I think it is good for the 4870.

I'm getting like 57-59 idle. I use artic silver 5 on it. A Zalman fan on top of the cooler. Non air-con room.

I tried to run the stock cooler for the first time to check whether it can start.. wow.. I'm shock by the noise it make. I still haven't do the profile thing you people mention.

Even the sales guy and a fren also said alot people are changing to stock cooler as it is very hot. Most people are buying Thermaltake Duo Orb for it.
