Is it high quality one such as those everglide? I was planning to throw away my RM3 rubber mouse pad for a better quality. Aiming in Crysis is a nightmare even with a good mouse without a good mouse pad.

Ok, may be have to buy this game, not really interested in shooting game... Go gamespot download Crysis. Most of my game is Demo version which downloaded from gamespot. No need to buy Ahem version Added on September 30, 2008, 6:45 pmBTW, HD4850GS got Tv-out right? Actually can I buy the cable or perhaps extension around 5 metres to connect it to my TV? Will the signal lost or anything? This post has been edited by lotiman2003: Sep 30 2008, 06:45 PM

[attachmentid=612201] the 2nd screenshot shows the lower idle temp. hope this helps someone. [attachmentid=612200] The card reminds me of Dark Knight (Batman)

Regular Senior Member 1,367 posts Joined: Sep 2005 From: Penang	QUOTE(picksickrick @ Oct 3 2008, 11:56 AM) psu wise...if you plan to max out your graphics in everygame you;re playing considering you're using a high end gc aka ATI4850/ATI4870.. chances are, you'll need at least 550W for 4850 and a good 700w for 4870 (i think)... of course it'll be higher for GS modules... cuz for me, 390w can run the gc at max details in some games, but some can't...which result in sudden power off. Hence now i'm getting a new psu ... all in all, my best advice is, if you are getting a high end GC..might as well spend abit more on the psu. spideysam; of course gainward better larh...distro Hebat here maa...easy to contact also.... I dont think you'll need min 550watt for 4850 at max power. I am using 450w with 4850GS and still manage to crysis at Very Hgh detail.

I was one of them and i have planned to get another Geforce for my rig too. But once ATI release the 4800 series I totally switch side. Actually not only me, I'm sure many is the same. It seems like GPU market = the fastest rules!!! No loyalty I guess. Or it is just me.

Regular Senior Member 1,367 posts Joined: Sep 2005 From: Penang	Actually the best GPU is 8800GTX. It is in the market for over 2.5 years yet able to play most modern game at decent setting. Those owner much be very happy. It should be faster than 9800GT and slightly slower than 9800GTX.

I think many still using the reference card and some has changed the cooler (I read it at ATI 4000 Discussion thread) Added on October 5, 2008, 12:51 pm QUOTE(cyew86 @ Oct 4 2008, 10:55 PM) my cap ayam PSU last me for 7 years and still running as troublesome as my current rig is, it is so darn durable and refuses to die only the CDROM shows sign of breaking down Cap ayam is not bad if you build cheaper PC (Without high end GC). And yeah, CD/DVD-ROM usually the first one kaput in most for my case. I already bought over 10 CD/DVD drives and most of it never reach 2 years old. I wonder those cap ayam 500W can run HD4350.

Added on October 6, 2008, 12:25 pm i've examined both 4850GS and 4870GS. the heatsinks are not in contact with the RAM chips. the nVidia cards on the other hand, had always have something on their RAM chips. I have doubt with Gainward 4850GS RAM chips at first because it is not cooler by heatsink but everyone said okay then me also okay la.

Regular Senior Member 1,367 posts Joined: Sep 2005 From: Penang	I read from some website if you turn off the power (mostly the extension) it will still consume some power because the power still flowing to your component. Something like leakage but at a small level. To save power, must unplug the cable. Just like TV ads always suggesting us to unplug before balik kampung. But of course the TV one is to make sure no Kebakaran lah.

But you also need better PSU and compatible intel mobo. If you using P3X or later then it mostly will work.

Regular Senior Member 1,367 posts Joined: Sep 2005 From: Penang	Yo guys, My 4850GS suddenly gave me heart attack just now. I start my PC and it display the ATI driver died and then restored (Can't remember the full message). The screen became funny and lots of artifacts. I uninstalled and re-installed the driver but still the same but then I open casing and re-insert the card, power up again and it suddenly came back to live. I was wondering what trigger this to happen and is there anyone encounter this problem b4? If not mistaken someone have the same problem. You guys can see the screenshot at spoiler below: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
