    Where I'm now
    Performance projections for the upcoming Radeon HD 4830, made news yesterday, where it is projected to outperform the GeForce 9800 GT. Two new slides published by VR-Zone shed light how the RV770LE graphics processor manages to do that, and there's a surprise: It was earlier known that the RV770LE comes equipped with 480 stream processors, and one of the earliest reports even suggested that it could have a narrower 192-bit memory bus. The slides published, show that the new GPU could carry as many as 640 stream processors, double that of the RV670. It comes with a proper 256-bit wide GDDR3 memory bus. Also included, is hardware support for 24x custom filter anti-aliasing (CFAA).

    It is also known that the new card is gearing up for an October 21 launch and would be priced below US $150. AIBs would be able to sell custom designed cards right upon launch. While the new GPU does look "tougher" and more equipped than expected, here's something to ponder: with twice the amount of stream processors as the Radeon HD 3870, as projections suggest, is it going to be only 10% faster than the 9800 GT?

    btw, what's ur thought on the PSU comes with Foxconn casings, brand is called FSP :D says 300W, 13A+8A on 12V rails.
    will be enough to run a 96GT ? :D
    Are u sure? Foxconnn have that much money? FSP owns FSP/Fortran and Sparkle.They are one of the best PSU manufacturers around the world.
    FYI OCZ gamerX,StealthX,Zalman,some Antec list goes on PSUs are made by FSP.tad bit expensive .
