you should put 100% for benchmarking, and auto for normal usage... well, that's my idea though

i stick with hd4870 rather than hd4890

haha...i noe liao..speed up the clocks and put 100% den rum benchmark XD sure get better frames rates...now d prob is wit my proc OC T_T..using new mobo so nt used to it yet..sigh afterall using p4 and msi p31 neo2 for so many years...now such a big leap to c2q and p5q pro

why you say that? is that because of the performance? heat? HD4890 indeed better performer... even with the price we paid, it's very good performance.

heat - yeah, it's hotter than HD4870 - how i love HD2900XT, is same as HD4870

did i mention it's heavier too... yeah, i like it heavy, bulk and hot... damn ATi, i love it

Went to a computer shop yesterday and I fell in love with 4890 Sapphire 4890 at RM950. Is it a good buy?

no, it's not... it's a very bad move if you're getting the HD4890...

Errr.. I'm still stuck with my decision whether to get GTX260, HD4870 or HD4890 (by adding RM200-RM300)

by the way, your opinion is very much contradict

I used all of above. Happy with my 4890 enuff said.

well one thing that makes the difference is what is your current GC. If its not the GTX285/295 or HD4870x2 than you better get it coz as far as I know, this is ATI's fastest single GPU card and with a price like that you'll lose nothing!

I own one anyway~

EDIT: I bought it a lot cheaper and that made it more sweeter

Saphire only at 875 now. I bought it at 920 the day it was released.

where may i know?

well do u think its worth it for that extra 10-15% performance increase(depends on the game) worth RM200-300? i dont think so but thats up to u to decide...i am pretty much happy with the gtx 260 until the next big thing comes out which is the gtx 300 and Radeon 5000 series

only for hardware enthusiast that the RM200 wouldnt mind and increase of a total 20% at most

well, some people think the upgrade is worth, some dont only because our eyes wouldnt be able to pick these details up surely

if youre running 19" or 22" monitors, then there wouldnt be much difference at all for the resolutions u are playing

in terms of pricing, no, it's a shit buy for sapphire. im sure u can get it cheaper.

if u just wanna upgrade from some shit card to 4890, hell yeah, 4890 is one of the |337'est GC u can get for now.

Me last time use stock cooler and C0 stepping E8400 also bench 3dm06@4.2ghz and that not even with a gem chip
So i don't see why not 4.5ghz is not doable

stick wif my HD4870 IceQ4
