Parts Update (Part 2)…

As you know, I recently put together a desktop and its my first ever non-prebuilt system

And not too long after, I updated the parts a bit, in the bid to get more enjoyment out of my little system… After that little update in May, I managed to keep my desktop related purchases to a minimum (gaming peripherals, mice and speakers don’t count ok) and that has garnered massive approval from the wife… Well after behaving for 2 months, I made another upgrade… What did I upgrade???

The graphics card!!! I swapped out the Sapphire HD4850 DDR3 512mb for a HIS Radeon 4890 DDR5 1024mb!!!

Here are some benchmarks with Far Cry 2…

FC3

In addition to the above, I’ll try to get my hands on the RE5 benchmark and post an update as soon as possible… Till then I guess I’ll ponder what I’ll update next…

Well prices are really low now... You can get the 2gb ddr5 vaporx 4890 for less than rm 950... But I am sure you have a triple sli monster somewhere hehehehe
