Hey to all the OCer, when you guys OC your G-card right, just OC only or did change the heatsink? I feelsl ike OC my card but wonder if I can jsut OC it and leave it like that for everyday use + gaming.

ok... ... anyway my room no aircon, may be that's the reason why the idling temp also reach 65+-

Added on April 23, 2009, 2:09 pmGuys side question, what's the max Windows Performance score you can get? (In Vista) Looks like I can get any of my score go over 5.9 ... ...

Erm I notice when I run more power game the temp will be higher. Example when I run Crysis and GTA4 it will go up to 79 to 80++, but play FEAR2 it stay around 70+- only... hm.....

it seems i have to stick with my gtx260 until i cannot play any latest game anymore...if want break..plz b4 next 5 years..

i havent tested with 65% fanspeed with my GC, but 100% is very loud,

now i almost dont hear anything with my pc except my HDDs when they turn on and DVD drive spins

me tiada apa apa fan on the bottom lol.considering to get 1 now but my gc temp also not tht high.running on 80% speed most of the time
evry 6 months change new gc?IF evry games developer is like crytek   

and i dun think u will so faz change into a high reso lcd screen.22 inch is more than enough for most of us nw

and 4870 still not able to play all max in crysis right?

anyway changing G-card for every 6 months is even morepainful than changing new handphone... ... I will say this is a fool instead of 'enthusiastic'... ... (By doing such, few years time can save enough money for car's downpayment?)

er bro u know, save a little more and get a top end card? (like GTX 295) can last for atleast 1 year ++ right?

hahaha interesting discussion

i'm not shy 2 admit that i'm an enthusiasts 4 life...i'm planning 2 get 27 inches + GTX285 = RM3000 plus as 4 today because 22 - 24 ain't worth an upgrade right now i don't want 2 touch my PC until i save 3k

Ya i means size is to make you WOW while playing, but if set the resolution max for the monitor means pity our G- card...!

I still remember when I still in college, I seold off my ATI 9600xt 1 month after I bought it, then bought a 9800xt just to woo out in the 3D mark forum... ... that time almost finish off my pocket money... ... (coz still student, no income)

skylinegtr34rule4life,

IF you don't mind, you can drive all the way to Singapore and buy your G-card and monitor there... cheaper... For instance, I bought my MSI gtx295 at SGD 790, it's around RM 1850+ (but today's rate is very high for singapore dollar...) while it sell as RM 2099 at lowyat...still save rm 100+ right~~

if more games start moving to dx10 and 11...those guys are bound to change to vista...whats the point of having a dx10 card when your OS doesnt even support it? stupid isnt it? dx11 games wont come out yet even if ATI and Nvidia release the card....it will take sometime before dx11 will be implemented on games so i dont think we should worry about it yet
