guys.... need advise..
I have a saphire 4870 with me. My Mobo can support Xfire. My option is whether should i:- 1) Wait for price to drop and buy 1 more 4870 to Xfire?  2) Sell off my 4870 and upgrade to 4890?  Can a 4890 outperform a 4870X2? I know 4870Xfire almost close to 4870X2 version. Thank you first...  |

Card no OC...Refer this web at least 750W true power so i guess 800W is enough but not for OCing U have to included ur cpu, hdd and etc. Hope other sifu can tell the exact W needed 1 HDD, 1 DVD writer. i think should be ok... i guess... |

QUOTE(metsatsu @ Mar 30 2009, 07:58 PM) if u even consider CF 4890 in near future, just sell off the 4870 and get a 4890. otherwise keep the 4870, and get another 4870 when the price drop yeah... after a deep thought weighing between performance/cost i think better wait for CF4870... more efficient and maximize performance per buck... thanks guys... I think most likely once 4890 out in many brands, 4870 will drop... 2nd hand drop further.... wait wait wait... thanks all... |

QUOTE(kayden @ Mar 31 2009, 11:20 AM) XFX is cantik de packaging and black pcb is the drooling stuff. But, the price is premium too. Branding and marketing cost bro... and also extra research for their RND to push the card further so that it can stand out from the rest of the brand card. XFX always like to do that and thats why they are famous... I agree with bro sniper69. Last time the 7600GT i had, wa lau eh... the box X shape and at first duno how to open also.. ha ha ha.. |
