Price cut at malaysia will be effective either the supplier clear the old stock, which they bought from nvidia or ati company before price cut, or the nvidia or ati promise to give them discount on the next stock. But i think usually they go for clear stock la.. so we need to wait like 1-2months only u can see huge price drop.

price positioning will come before Christmas provided new GTX 55nm is coming. Like it or not, there will be a price cut for the holiday season.

karom is bulking it

guys, is there a huge performance difference between HD4870 512MB & 1GB? their price difference is around RM160.

it seems like from these reviews, only a slight FPS difference.

btw, i'm planning on gaming @ at least 1680x1050 on ultra-high settings. any opinions?

512 will do.
u'll only c more performance gain in much higher resolution.

1680x1050 not high enough?

what u mean, bro???

well, got difference. if me, go for the 1gb ..seriously the extra 512mb will perform much more better

1680 * 1050 is 19" - 22" only la.
512 version is more den capable 2 handle dis resolution.

1gb version is pretty much for those who own 24" but dun wanna spend 2 much on 4870x2 or gtx280.

well, it doesn't harm 2 hav more memory, but wit 4k series, i really dun recommend it unless u really need.
coz those extra vram chip also generate heat.
may b will end up a little bit hotter PBC compared to 512 version.

i meant this:
1680x1050 is the native resolution for most 22" LCDs nowadays right? anything higher? 1920x1080?
btw teikwing, upgrading to HD4870 so soon? your current HD4850 is only 1 month old plus iianm?

even Full HD 22" max resolution is 1680x1050 right? or higher than that?

getting one for a friend's new rig. havent source enough funds to get one for myself yet.

well..juz get the 1gb version for safety purposes..haha
