Hi guys
got the 4870 yesterday and some 120mm high cfm LED fans.
tried it on Zebby Pro 550 and works like a charm. For double checking, i oced my CPU to its max value at which it consumes 165W which is even higher than most quads, added another HDD, DVDRW, and ran every benchmarking softwares i cud, like 3dM 06, everest etc.
OCCT utility failed to launch saying, DX9 files are outdated, even though ive installed latest DX10 updates for vista.
So now i can say A Zebby Pro 550[HEC OEM] can handle a 4870 easily.

Hi guys
got an offer of AMD X3 8750 tri core unboxed after RMA for 4k shipped.
it sounds sweet to me. What do you guys think?
my current 4870 isnt even running at its 80%, as my CPu seems to be highly bottlenck @ its max 2.9Ghz.
my 8800GT stock gives a 3dM 06 score of 10600 @ 1024*768.
Everythin same, and with a 4870 gives only 11200 @ 1024*768 whereas in reviews it gives 14.5k~ 15k. I think my cpu is the culprit.
An X3 oced to 3Ghz can juice it fully, i think.
So is the X3 8750 5 months old is justified @ 4k ?

But 8750 oc max upto 3.3 Ghz on air and AII 250 seems to hit the roof at 3.6~3.7 Ghz. Its a dual core and has no L3 cache.
my current proccy too is 95w TDP, so more or less the same as of now even after ocing.
X3 8450 B0 was a crap, and oc max only upto 2.7Ghz.
As per the reviews the overall performance of X3 8750 new one with B3 stepping comes close to an E8400. 8750 seems to have better performance per clock than 250, as its a tri core plus it has L3 cache.
Also i inquired bout AII 250 locally and isnt available. they have only PII 550. Most online shops like lynx, mediahome or itwares dun seems to have 250 nowadays.

@hellknight
i just got my 4870 sapphire last week from lynx.
working flawlessly on my zebby pro 550, thnk GOD
also heard from another forum that one guy is running a 9800GTX+ smoothly on a zebby pro 350 PSU. That card is more power hungry than a 4870. OMG !
btw than for the AOC monitor info.
will surelly look into it. i didnt like the look of sam 2233 much though perfprmance was awesome. was looking for a similar performing alternative, probably cheaper too. This looks just the one for me.
lemm search for its pics.
btw how is AOC service nowadays?

d0m1nat0r - I've heard there is some lowering in the prices of LCD panels in the BUDGet. If that's so, wait for some time and get a 24" monitor with 1920x1200 (if u opt for 16:10 or 1920x1080 if u r pretty satisfied with 16:9). But don't settle in for a cheaper monitor (I mean performance wise)just because it has extra real estate.
I'm getting very much interested in LCD panels these days and I'm trying to know about the best lcd monitors out there.
Here's my thread for search of good LCD panel.

Actually it starts with benQ - but i started that thread to know abt all kinda monitors.
And one more thing - if u haven't used a Widescreen LCD before - MAN, You are missing too much of enjoyment and PC Entertainment.

AOC offers 3 year onsite warranty on it's products, so u need not worry about the services

Bond, Desi Bond!
@Hellknight, everyone gives 3yr warranty on their products. Moreover, with Samsung and Dell you can forget thinking about warranty (and also with most monitors) because it would be the last product that can die inside warranty.
@dominator, Dell is very strict about warranty. You may not get warranty if you buy the monitor from a dealer who is not Dell authorized agent. Just a suggestion. You better confirm this before doing the purchase. If you buy this monitor along with a 5yr extended warranty, Dell will replace the monitor even if you find a single stuck/dead pixel (and you do confirm the same with Dell).

Don't count on it. When I got my HD4850, it worked perfectly fine with my 500W Powersafe Gold PSU, even though the card's minimum PSU requirement is 450W. It worked flawlessly for 3-4 months & all of a sudden it couldn't bear the load & would shutdown or reboot my system. Chucked it eventually & bought a Corsair VX450 & hasn't given me a single issue till now. So don't always jump to conclusions before using it for some amount of time.

I sold off my X2 4200+ and Asus M2A VM
ordered a Biastar TA 790GXB A2+ and a phenom X2 8750[second].
at the same time my old A8NE died, and i gave it for RMA. Rashi guys agreed to give cash back of around 3~3.5k.
So what ive decided is to put another 2k with he cash back and get a PII X2 550 for the 790 + the 4870. Buy a 2.3k Asus M2N68 EM Plus for the PI X3 8750 + the 8800GT.
