Wow i won smtg? Haha. Celciuz, Netraid is Charles. But maybe they're using the same account to tell us info.

Thanks Netraid. Exam tomorrow. Woo hoo.

My GPU MIA too. Haha. Thanks Lacus Gtg back studying, after watching Heroes. LOL.

@serigala,

1 word explains it all; WOW. Lovely looking rig. But yeah.. there's some point that you should stop OC-ing. And what I see now is wow how much higher already when it came out the box? 800+MHz kewl!

Try looking into the Overclockers United section of LYN. Should have some useful sources there. Keep searching and have fun.

I feel left out Still GCless.

Poisoned by someone already i think :\

I'm getting the urge and frustration of waiting for my RMA-ed card.. I'm so considering a 4870 now

@nujo87,
Wow very useful information there. Was abit worried over the chip temps. Thanks mate!

^ Next week I hope and hopefully everything turns out well.
The urge to do abit of FIFA09 is building quite quick.. and I've already finished Season 1 of Big Bang Theory. May start on Family Guy next.

Thank you for poisoning me Thank goodness I still have alot of media to watch to spend the nights waiting for it

I'm a bit torn; if there's a chance, should I switch from a 4850 to 4870 + top up? Or stay with 4850? Opinions please

^ Precisely. Considering whether to change or not is what I'm thinking now. I'm trying to find a review where they compared the GS versions of 4850 and 4870 together. I'm weighing options now before making the switch.

Performance wise.. I think it differs by a minimum of 10 FPS if i do recall correctly.

Vantec 600 watts enough right? Ouch, what brand was that? Care to disclose?

I see. I'd better consider another PSU for my brother's new pc.
600 watts is sufficient for 4870 anyway right?

Ooo thanks Now whether to get 4870 or not :\

we're back online

^ If the 4830GS is the same price or cheaper than 9800GT, I wouldn't mind at all. Higher than that, yeah, rather get a 4850 Custom/GS.

^ I know how you feel.. that's why I ended up here instead in HIS thread
BTW any news on Gainward 4830 GS?

tech_frix, there's always room to wait for a card to be released. Don't have to rush things, after all the weeks ahead will come. Price wise for 4830GS.. IMO it may be the about the same as 9800GT Coolice edition.

Then again, i do agree with tellmewhy. Why not top up RM100+ and get the 4850GS? After all it's still the best bang for the buck
