    4870 brand choice

    Newegg isnt an option for me though. Has to be a Danish shop. They are a bit slow getting the cards it seems, except that Club3d brand which has been available since launch. Guess its an European brand. Same for Gainward.

    4870 brand choice

    There is a 2 year 'warranty' (although its not full warranty after the first 6 months, technically it only covers faults which existed from the beginning) on any product here, so its not even likely I would have to use the brands own warranty directly (but I guess the shop would use it if they...

    4870 brand choice

    Ok :/ Damn, I dont want to wait :D Still nearly impossible to find 4870's here. Cant find Visiontek in any shops whatsoever (not even as arriving later on). Only other brands from other shops would be Sapphire (in stock friday or so) and Powercolor (next week) but they would be a bit more...

    4870 brand choice

    Gigabyte and Visiontek isnt a choice though :/ Gainward, CLub3d, or Asus if I wait a week. None of them got a lifetime warranty (actually the first two doesnt even seem happy about stating what warranty they got)

    4870 brand choice

    Which to pick, determined by their service (or lack of same), warranty, buyers experience with them and such. Gainward 4870 or Club3d 4870? Or should I stay far away from both? Price is same for both. Reason is, its the only 2 brands I can get right now in the shop I was planning to order...

    ATI-based brands to avoid?

    How good/bad are Club3d and Gainward?

    Thinking of X-fire w/ q9550; what mobo to get?

    Would be lovely to get more tests of the P45 vs X38 crossfire. Despite what Tweaktown shows it seems really weird x8 should limit the cards. Might we then expect 4870X2 to be limited by PCI-E 2.0 x16? Seems unlikely. If their data is true (the few other tests Ive seen havent really shown...

    p45 and crossfire

    I know this has been asked lots of times, but a conclusion never really seemed to appear. Is the P45 really limiting 4800 crossfire or was the early tests influenced by faulty bios, drivers or similar? It seems kinda weird if the x8 bandwidth isnt enough. Answers are highly appreciated, want...

    Playing the waiting game

    Imo, right now (e.g. June/July/August - depending on when each of the new video cards actually becomes available) is a quite good time for getting a new computer. We are still some time away from new CPU's, new GPU's arrived and we dont really know when next ones (likely die-shrinks of current...

    ATI Removes NDA on Performance Previews for 4850 (#'s Inside)

    Isnt the compromise a third party cooler? :)

    Playing the waiting game

    Isnt it just a rumour that a nvidia 55nm die-shrink will be out this fall? People talk like its a fact.

    4870 Crossfire vs 4870X2

    This isnt about their actual performance! Since we obviously don't know yet. I'm interesting in knowing ups and downs of going crossfire vs X2 (beside it takes 1 PCI-E slot instead of 2...). Seems like it will be easier to find good third party cooler solutions for 2 crossfire boards...

    Critique my build please

    Would remind you its just my opinion about the 140mm fan in PSU, people seemed to disagree when I posted it in my own current build thread :) So take it for what you want, going from very quiet to a slightly more quiet might be wasted effort and money. The PSU I was looking at was Zalman...

    New build

    :) You are likely right, still the thing is, 620HX insanely quiet under normal load, not necessarily under heavy load. Check the numbers at http://www.silentpcreview.com/article834-page5.html Around 400W the fan spins up in their test. Reaching 400W isnt easy, and thats why Ive sticked to...

    New build

    Been looking a bit more on PSU's. A concern of mine has for a while been that the 620HX might get too loud under heavy load, due to its 120mm fan. So today I looked at this: Zalman ZM850-HP Ill never use its insanely high watt limit of course, but it should have good cooling and a silent...
