Generally, costings is done in a simple markup with minimal margin coz the VGA market is ultra competitive. Sometimes we can't even choose what prices to put, market forces us to put up certain prices. Nowadays, we have to be extra careful to hedge against currency fluctuations too. The former distro Netraid suffered losses due to failure to cover this part. This is the fastest 4870X2 atm, so it's up to you to judge it's value. Some like to buy a cheap card and mod it themselves (change fans, OC, hardmod etc), other prefer to have the latest and fastest. Who's to say what is right or wrong?

Anyway.Whats the reference/non-overclocked version Clock?
ie : 750 Core Clock 3600 Memory clock..

Well, I was told that the appeal is in it's overclocking potential and it's innovative 3-slot dual-fan cooler with low noise. This part Gainward was aiming for those OC kakis who wants to OC above factory OC.

As for overprice, our cost is high for this model. Users can still choose from the variety of cheaper 4870X2 out there (GeCube, Gigabyte, Sapphire, Asus, HIS, Powercolor etc), and mod/OC it themselves. Just be mindful of the risks of card burning.

Nothing we can do about the pricing atm. Sorry man.

Aik, I thought u are already a Gainward owner, no? And your sig has Sapphire 4850 on it, also no gc?

Sorry man, I'm the marketing person for Scanart. In fact, my main focus is on Printers and Networking. I helping here coz the new PM for Gainward is too busy (he's also the PM for Asus). So I cannot let you know our stock status since today is Sunday. Let me check it out tomorrow and update you. Last I heard, we just took in our 3rd batch of Gainward since Nov 6. Be surprised if that also finished (good news for the Gainward team lar).

Have you tried our LYP and Digital Mall dealers?

no tried, coz i take order from my existing company, (when they ordering scanart/ sds goods tambah satu 4870gs for me la, u know )

but sadly , was told by scanart sales person , gainward 4870 512 no stock, 1gb got stock...(last thursday)

eh its not copyrighted..

think only one/ two rog board that i didnt buy
one was almost impossible at that time to find was the commando
and the other was the crosshair , and crosshair 2...

let me see it started with
Striker Extreme.. waste of my money on 3 times rma.
maximus SE.. ah this was was really fun cause first time hitting 500fsb for x6800.. before this it was unheard off.
Rampage formula .. waste of my money cause same as maximus
Striker 2 formula... still think this is one of the best lga 775 ddr2 boards.
maximus 2 formula.. really good mobo for stable clocks... but hits a wall at 4.6ghz on 4dimms to get it stable... not enough skew clocks for rams..
striker 2 extreme .. after killing a few hdds.,, but got it cheap 2nd hand with ram from fellow vr-zone member .
rampage extreme.. gila but difficult to get the 4 dimm rams super stable.. infact i havent done it yet..,,
this board does the impossible..
what it not suppose to boot on the rams trd it boots...

sishh gainward really memang tak tahu malu using the name rampage
when its already been used by asus rog's lga 775 highest end and the current 1366...

they could have named it something else..

yeah... bigwater stuff expensive and performance is comparable to air cooling in some model and in some models even worse than air cooling.

Hi Gainward users,
Im using the HD4870 1gb Golden Sample.
Im having problem with playing Crysis Warhead in Vista 64-bit. The game will not start in full screen. I have to go the option and tick the full screen, but whenever I restart the game, it still automatically start in a windowed screen. But then again, thats no big deal because I can always manually set it to full screen.
The real problem is, even in full screen mode, it will have black bars at each borders. Thats the case whenever I try to set the resolution to 1920x1080. Instead of giving me 1080, it gives me 1600x1200, which resulting in black bars. The lower resolution; 1024x1280, can fit the whole screen fine but who wants to play at this resolution in a 1080p monitor right? Anyone else having the same problem?

EDIT: I have tried with catalyst 8.10 and 8.11
