if that is the case just buy rig without GC 1st. no need to delay

Added on March 4, 2009, 12:58 pmi looked at LY price for 4870 in average is RM900 but ATi said their price is $199

RM900/ $199 = 4.5 (over the currency exchange)
therefore to estimate new card price

$149 x 4.5 = RM670

if i'm getting 4870 then i might change the proc 2 ...i dowan bottleneck the GC.. n wat for i buy it vout gc?can't gaming ?hav 2 wait for the gc?i dowan torture myself like tat... i think alot ppl here not prefer yr way...

bottleneck GC?? with core 2 duo u wont getting bottleneck

why 4.5? the latest currency excange now is 1.00 USD=3.71160 MYR

so..149.00 USD=553.100 MYR

that why i told before.
the price did not use currency exchange.

if you said 3.7 is the multiplier
GC 4870 worth $199 card will equal to RM736

but you can see most of 4870 GC worth around RM900
means that the multiplier is 900/199 = 4.5 > 3.7

good news for me.
time to upgrade from my 7800gt. Already use this more than 4 years.

well, hopefully ATI cut 4870X2 price too hu hu

but why 4.5??

so who wants to buy my 4870? :-"

i wan buy....200 + delivery deal mar??lol...!!!!wah..really can't wait the price drop lor

it is RM900 divided by USD199 (Malaysia 4870 price divided by USD price)
use your calculator and get 4.5226, which mean price in malaysia didnt follow cuurency exchange to USD (3.7)

so to estimate the price drop, you need new price (USD149) multiply by 4.5
and equal to RM670

another way

if
199 = 900
149 = ??

actually its (199+x)*3.6=900, so x=183.6/3.6=51

so now 199 become 149, so (149+51)*3.6=720

so the new price is RM720 and not RM670.

more accurate

Still very expensive for me

I doubt the price will even drop to RM720 .. most probably is only RM800+ .. not below that ..

Just saw this thread. Wow nice, just in time price slash. Been longing to own it to run my games on 1080.

I've asked someone who works in LYP regarding this price slash and he was shocked when he heard the news. He told me that they probably wont lower it until they get all their goods sold which I think will take a minimum of 2 months atleast.

damn..that is unfair!

yup. agree. same like last time ATI price slash.

easy we buyer just hold until the price drop. how long they can keep....

yeah....buyer just dun buy 1st. they cant keep it long. So just wait till the card goes 550+ then only we buy... guys ...since the price drop is so scary... HD4850 is really not as good lor.... wait longer.get some money then HD4870 is urs.....get it ONE SHOT.... get the legend card...not the assistant....HD4870 is the single card king...of coz dun compare to the high price GX260 la.... performance a bit diff nia...

ALL JUST GET HD4870!!!!!
