well why do u want to speculate what he's gonna do?

at this stage i dun think anyone here can give u an accurate answer for the HIS 4890 reference and oc version's difference. but based on my experience of HIS 4850 IceQ4 after playing around with the bios. I realized that turbo and turbox version difference in BIOS, is the fan profile as well as the clock speed. that's pretty much all. IceQ4's cooler is dead silent, even u ramp it up to 100% it is still no where near auditable. the 4850 turbo version cooler's fan in other word is under utilized in comparison to the turboX. For the PCB and chips being used on HIS 4850, I read from alot of ppl's opinions that they are identical, but I couldn't verify that as turboX wasn't available in msia before I sold off my HIS 4850 turbo IceQ4.

loled 1000Mhz Core Speed on air ftw .

does this card will get overheating issue by using its own cooler...??

im referring to the reference model on each brand...

and what would be the rough temp for idle & load session...?? any idea?

Don't worry, the reference/stock cooler is awesome actually. The heat ramps up just because AMD has a strict sound level restriction, so the fans are running pretty low and the temps really high. Well, their chips can run up to 90C no problem so that's why they never bothered.

Sapphire's cooler is better though, .

sapphire's cooler? u mean the vapourX cooler?

The temp override has been lowered from 80 to 70 degrees celsius, so the fan will push more air at lower temps and be slightly louder (but basing on anything like the 4870, still really silent).

So cheap. So 4870 price will drop also.

maybe 4870 will be sub 700 perhaps? since if 4890 is priced around 800~900? wow, thnk how 4850 would be..

i thought RM859 starting sell





they doing bulk order. so roughtly when can get if order now? as i know the cost even over RM1k (at least for HIS brand) not sure 2nd batch wat price. but won't go low than RM800 i think since there is no any pricecut for ATI. but have to wait and see.

Well..The original price should be RM 800~1000..
I hope they pulls HD 4870 512MB and replace it with HD4890 512MB..Same goes to 1GB

well, according to current exchange rate of 3.64, USD239 shud translate to ~ RM870.
which begs the question, zhen wei setting HIS 4890 1gb @ 1090, dat shud b a non reference price....................
& the price of 512mb is USD199, do the math.

lol only 859? haya... it sure cheap!! haiya.. just bought the 4870 lor...

in malaysia the price is state by the distributor depends on quantity and cost the brand they bring in.
official price doesn't work in malaysia as well. tat's why u wil see differnet price for every brand

i saw many shop at lowyatt now selling this card..
