    The Intel integrated graphics are quite decent for casual gaming, but nothing beats a dedicated graphics card if you are looking for high-res gaming with AA and AF. :D

    the only good thing these integrated graphics is when your dedicated gpu go bad and still can use your pc :p

    pentium G3258 only RM215, no takers? :thumb:

    Another great thing is if your firmware flash goes horribly wrong, there's integrated gpu!

    Gtx760 is excellent value last year when it launched. But since then, the price didn't drop a single ringgit. So I decided on gtx770, because of good idle power consumption in multi monitor mode. 280x is quite close to gtx770. Ask your favorite shop! :wicked:

    That's good news! Solder melted?

    But I'm not going to stop poisoning. Hehe. I heard gtx880 is coming. But it's out of my league.

    GTX760 and 280 are pretty equal. :wicked: In terms of price and performance.

    sapphire r9 280 RM865, gtx760 is more expensive :shifty:

    since now its not dead i spend money on a new case, my case 10 years old cooling is not very good compare to case now

    Gtx760 shouldn't be more than rm800 even a year ago.
