wah, rm1k is at year 2007 when first release leh
now RM430 can get one.
but with Rm500 i think can get HD4870 ler

i asked in ATi thread also...they suggested this HD4870 also...which do u think is better? and also Digiman(dono wht to call you), running on Sli better or not? like 2 x 512mb ddr3...is better than 9800/4870?

Running SLi you got that PSU to run it or not? Plus Single card solution still the best for now.

what kind of 512mb ddr3 gc do u plan to SLI????
if its the gts 250/9800gtx+ (they are a same card with different name) then of coz its better than a single 9800gtx+/gt or 4870.

but running em on SLI dont double the amount of memory.

guys, i just got my xfx 260gtx (standard) last saturday, using windows 7 rc and latest driver. no riva tuner is installed, just installed speedfan. However, from speedfan reading, i found out my gpu temperature stay around 57-62 celcius during idle and when i run NFS undercover, the temperatur increase to 79-81 celcius. Using thermaltake tsunami casing and no air-cond in my room. I just wonder the temperature is normal or not.

Temperature looks normal to me....

the reading looks normal.

btw most 260 users with reference cooler pump up the fan to 60% as most of them said that it isnt audible but can lower the temp by 5'c or so.

thanks for the reply..
sorry for being noob, i can adjust the fan speed for my gc if i install riva tuner, am i right?

rive tuner or evga precision.

choose either one.

riva tuner works best for me..but then change to aftermarket cooler, better performance..no need to adjust the fan speed..

why spend another dollar when the cooler it came with is more than enough to cool it down.sure its noisy if u crank up the fan but that's a hell lot better than forking out another cent for a new cooler.

nvidia system tools can set fan speed as well

btw the latest riva tuner doesn't support the 185 driver

i;ve tried 1 of the methods in the gtx200 oc thread but still cnt get it to work

normal la to reach 80c...
me playing heavy game like crysis or ghostbusters pun temp around 70++c...
just make sure d intake and exhaust fan of the casing are nicely placed...

nah ghostbusters wont crank up the speed tat much.

I noticed hawX speeds up my gpu fan to 80+ speed.and only
when I use DX10 and all high setting.

ghostbusters zzzzz
nice game with ah....poor performance

just buy ori and d bug gone wor...
just to bring back memory oni...hehe

but my gc temp crank up while running ghostbusters...
and i dont play HAWX so i dont know how will it effect d temp...

well, i didn't dare to go beyond 80C..

i played crysis also exceed 75 it is normal & it can tahan
i not worry bout gc's temp, but more worry bout other hardware tat might damaged from gc's temp

For me because I dislike having my room heat up and I dislike having noisy fan while playing as these would distract me from playing games, watching movies and so on.

If I was back in Australia, I probably won't change the cooler, in fact I will run it at the lowest speed during winter to heat up the room. Cheaper than running a heater.

i dont think it would work that way.
u should keep the fan running at its stock-configured speed.
if wanna hat up ur room, oc ur gpu. more heat produced.
the fan is just to keep heat away from the gpu circuits and chips. but the heat blown away will just add up to ur ambient temp/room temp.
