This one I agree.
Palit Sonic dual fan is way better than HIS IcedQ single fan.
The IcedQ just wins in appearance only. Nothing more than this.

hahaha good idea

me also except i was thinking of GTX285 first

hie guys,

Maybe i can start off some history for my case ...

recently i just bought nVidia 9800 GTX+ DK graphic card connecting under HDMI --> LCD but my text distorted under HDMI but not VGA.

Tried many ways of installing latest driver but no luck.

So, i hope tomorrow i pay lowyat a visit they will offer me something good or some solutions for this issue..

Worst case, i might change my graphic card to Ati 4850 or 4870...but i heard there are new refresh graphic card from ATI.....so what is your opinion?

Wait or just grab the graphic card or any recommendations?

Appreciate the help!

Thanks

alamak i tot microsoft oledi announced dx11 can be support by dx10 card

haha
its juz a talk .
seriously .
when 4870 is d best GC in town, we all dream of 4870.
now GTX285 n 295 in d town , we all dream bout them .
n now 4890 coming out, those who was aiming for 4870 sure shift to 4890 as d price shud be cheaper a bit compared to 4870 current price .
and den we hear bout d upcoming 4890X2 ! woooh dat's a king of d castle there !

dat's when we see all 4870X2 selling like hot bun anywhere oso can get ^^,

its wat i call "naluri seorang gamer/OCer"
hehe

Dont look down on HD4890.Perhaps and MAYBE it might be on par with GTX285..Who knows?
Skips and wait for DX 11 Cards

Lol...Summore HD4890 is about 30% faster than HD4870...

nVidia is benefiting from CUDA & Physx.

4890 will be starting selling at malaysia on april or not ? i dont think so...if the thing really still have one month away to sell in market, then usa reviewer sure got the card already.

Product release need to go through marketing and advertising first before selling in market to get bigger crowd attention....

looks at intel, at vista...create havoc in the market first then u can see it in the market selling....

estimated it will firstly launch at malaysia due to HIS booth in PC FAIR.

so does it means tat it will lauch during pc fair.....

From what I see, CUDA & PhysX isn't doing much damage to ATi. When OpenCL is out, HD 4xxx series also can use openCL(so does g92 and gtx260/280 I think), and CUDA & PhysX will be nullified already(maybe not physX, but cuda, yes. The whole industry is waiting for open standard).

Dx11 exploits unified shader, that's why it will work with Radeon HD 4870 as well(and the geforces starting with g80).

its not a proven technology yet. just prototype.
not yet a proven technology.

if physX is proven benefit in gaming, ATI also will start doing it, wit havoc.

Nvidia even "wants" ati to have their card running physX too.

Actually it is possbile for 3xxx/4xxx card to run PhysX/CUDA but ati refuse to cooperate with nvidia to do so.
maybe ati see the bigger picture behind nvidia's motive?
and this is last year's story.....

Speculation only... wait till it got released.
Im curious as to how DAAMIT will improve it lor.

If you compare 4830 to 4850, it seem stream processor doesnt affect the performance too much. It will have to be something good like higher speed + specially tweaked drivers (lower IQ probably?). It would be a miracle to squeze 30% out of hand picked R770.

but ATI always BETTER IQ
choose which one ?

hope to know the spec of HD 4890 and the performance compare with GTX 285 as soon as possible...
