looks like ATI is hitting nvidia @ every front...............
high end.......mid end......mainstream..................

overall, not really.
bt better in certain cases.

3870 is still better in higher resolution bt bear in mind, 4670 is a lot cheaper den 3870.

i think 1st bath is a bit expensive.

if i'm not mistaken, it is sold @ 70 euros.

talk about depreciation.............

last time i bought my 3870 DDR4 @ RM 900.
8 months later, recently just sold for RM 350.

as expected, 1st batch seller r taking advantage.

in Europe also sell for 70 euro.
which translate 2 bout 300+ here.

last time i crossfire 2 2600 XT...................
haiz..........really really regretted.............

mostly all games also doesn't fell the performance gain.........
waste my

actually is malaysia ringit dat suffering, not USD high.............

ps, need 2 add tax also le..............

i think 4670 hav the upper "finger" if AA on.

otherwise...........performance is absolutely same...............

wat the bout the 55nm version of GT 200?

normal reference cooler also exceed 300 already.............

gainward 4670 got all the port...........

sum ATI card indeed has issues wit CRT monitor.

try the latest CCC8.9. if can't, try older version.

high end is just 4 the sake of good name...................
the real money maker is the mainstream market, consumer so called "bang for bucks".
of coz, it is easier 2 sell 4870/4850 is u hav 4870x2 on the king of the hill. consumer just trust u more.

AMD keep saying dat acquiring ATI is wat meks dem nearly bankrupt. i'll say, is the graphic division which save their @ss dis time.................

remember the price of GTX 260/280 wen launch?
den if drop few hundred USD after just few weeks...............

dis shows just how much if nvidia ripping off those early bird buyers...........

i've been wondering.................

y there r so many non reference 4870 out there, but non comes wit pre OC as high as ASUS TOP which use reference cooler?

which card r u referring 2?
model pls...............
& the resolution dat u plan 2 play ur game on.

ATI has been focusing on bugs fix since CCC 8.7.
8.8 & 8.9 doesn't bring any performance different in gaming...............
of coz 4670 was ment 2 go against 9500GT.
4830 is the made 2 pawn 9600 & 9800GT
actually i wanna put on my siggy, bt since my siggy already quite long...................
i'm respecting la, dats y i put there "R.I.P."

i think the real reason dey dun wanna do it is iceQ can't compete wit GS & toxic.

ur windows audio output setting also need 2 switch 2 ur GC output also la, if not no sound.

OC, custom AA & AF setting.......resolution..........bla......
& the most handy of all is the "mini" built in stress test wen u OC ur GC.

actually u can use ATI tray tools can do everything dat CCC can do but of coz, CCC more user friendly.
