Hey ya'll,
I hit the ewiz.com sale for the Toxic 4890(i'd love to have a quiet card and it was only $204 shipped). By the time it's off Backorder I'll be to busy to game and the whole thing will be a moot point. I can't stand the Sapphire Company(their support and Service is even worse then Asus IME....horrible) but I love what I'm hearing about the Toxic card and the Vapor X cooling. I wont pay Newegg's inflated $250ish price and even then it's sold out.
So, I just pulled the Trigger on the Second Beast I had in mind. The XFX 4890 XXX Black Edition. I've read plenty of reports of 100% stable core @ 1000mhz. Comes with Hawk and some other Game I probably wont play(BattleForge?) for the new lower price of $220.00.
Please chime in and Let me know how she's rocking your rig? I don't really care about Looks but damn that card is gona polish off the Looks of my Rig.
This is my system, Nicest Rig I've ever had for myself. I didn't want a Quad Core because of the TDP. It's also the most drop dead Gorgeous system I've ever had that doesn't have a Window...lol. It's a Black Edition system I guess...lol.Runing good ole XP 32bit with SP3. So far so Kick ass..
ThermalTake V9 Black Edition(great looks....good design...cheap Chinese Pot metal)
SilverStone 700watt Modular PSU - Most Quiet PSu I've ever owned...freaking love it.
Asus CrossFire III Formula - More Mobo then I've ever had. Thank god you can turn all the lights off.
Asus 512mb DDR3 4850 Vanilla card - Runs great but need more memory bandwidth - Worse Overclocker I've ever had.
Mushkin DDR3 1333 7-7-7-20 2x2Gigs(will upgrade to 8 gigs when W7 is out).
Phenom II x2 550 Castillo(totally stable @ 3.6ghz stock Vcore will do 4ghz but wants to much Vcore). With Artic Freezer 64 and OCZ Freeze T.I.M. Doesn't exceed 40c after hours of Prime 95
Samsung Raid Class 750gig/7200rpm/32mg Cache
Samsung DVD Burner
LiteOn Bluray(sending this POS back).
Asus 24" Black 2ms 1080P LCD
TIA
