lol..4870 should last quite long imo...

arr.. y 4870 is the highest version gc for ati?? lol.. got more higher 1??? lol

Added on October 2, 2008, 3:56 amlol the 4870 x 2 is quite expensive.. got any difference wit only single?? just tat is 2gb vs 512mb.. lol.. hmmmm... can create high setting game then lol

not just high setting . is max setting at 22' , 24' , even 30' lcd .

need help....CoolViva Pro works for 4850? anyone using it?

no end debating on this leh..like that, u go buy a 4870x2 then

Added on October 2, 2008, 2:50 pmdon't think it works,from the looks of it..ur stock cooler will even work much better than this...u using gainward right? custom cooler should b more than enough wat..

4870x2 = high power consumption + expensive + a lot of heat!
better get a low power consumption + desirable performance 4830 card, next month!!

lower? 4670 then -.-...or not it's 4850 >_>"

4830 strike on the middle.
4830 performance is superior than 4670, and it is 256 bits memory bandwidth, 640 shader processor, based of RV770 LE chip, lower ppwer consumption overall as compared to 4850 cards.
4670 is of 128 bits memory bandwidth, 320 shader processors, based on RV730 chip.
They are of different class of graphic card!!

4830 card is for the performance mainstream, 4670 is only for mainstream.
4830 series of graphic cards are expected to debute later on this month (end of october, 2008)

Price should be around 450-500.

ooo... hmmm 4830 and 4850 no difference in proccesing graphic??? lol then the 4870 x 2 in 30 inch lcd also can... lol... i think 24 inch big enough also.. lol..

4830 and 4850 comparisons:
PART I: SIMILARITIES
1. 55nm manufacturing process.
2. Direct X 10.1 support.
3. 256 bits memory support.
4. basic gpu architecture is basically the same.

PART II: DIFFERENCES
1. code name different: 4830 = RV770LE, 4850 = RV770 PRO
2. no. shader processor: 4830 = 640 shader processors, 4850 = 800 shader processors.
3. system power requirement: 4830 consumes less power than 4850.
4. heat generated: 4830 is cooler than his elder brother 4850.

So far is know that HD4830 have 640 stream processors instead of the HD4850 800 stream processors, but maybe the processor clock and memory will be cut down since it is different class compare HD4850, havent know yet must wait the official announce.

The HD4830 still require the 6 pin 75 watt as the external power source, that's mean the power for the PCI-E (150watt) is not enough to support it. IMHO, if the price is RM500 or more, i will go for HD4850GS for more performance per value.

ok let wait and see how..

Haha sure pal, hope this HD4830 can impress me since i might upgrade from my HD4670. And it will be nice if it dun need so many juice draw out from PSU, but still a lot of research and review after release that need to go thru before we conclude anything ya

so fast upgrade?
i tough u just got ur 4670?........

Haha actually so far so good for my HIS HD4670 turbo card, i play DMC4 at high setting for my 24 inch still able to play it well. I said might but still not soon la, consider the price 1st. since my hometown pc can't play any game, so might consider place my 4670 to my hometown rig then i will upgrade lol.

Hi all,

Not trying to stop the flow of the topic but curious if anyone successfully run any brand 4670 with a normal RM 45-50 450 W PSU?

Cheers,

Alvin

well, typical answers here would be "better to get a better PSU to ensure longer lifespan of the components"
i am getting poisoned by those words, now i am considering to get FSP Blue Storm II 500W PSU to go with my HD4670
