good luck if makakita kag 5970 dha kay rare kaau na... its a mega monster card! naa gani willing makig trade sa iyang duha ka 6990 dri para sad sa duha ka 5970.. items to items... no cash involved!

naa bro, it's a XFX HD5970 Black Edition 2GB DDR5. actual card model number: XFX HD-597A-CNB. priced at 2,480 rmb... roughly 16,237 php... is this a good buy? if this is worth buying, i can extend my budget man pud... pero, duha2x pa ko kay overkill napud ni sa i3... if i7 pa ang processor na akoang gipalit, pyts ra ni ipares unta... na intriga man ko ani lagi ani nya...

yay, my friend jst called me up a while ago. naa kuno stock ang iyahang supplier... isa ka XFX HD5970 4GB Black Limited Edition... exact model: XFX HD-597X-ENFN... priced at 3.2k rmb (roughly 20.8k php)... tempting kaayo ang offer... oh tukso, layo-an mo ako... mura'g this is not healthy anymore for me... kay mo dako na ug maayo ang budget... supposedly, low budget rig ra man unta ni ang akoang gi project ron na gaming rig... tsk tsk tsk...

go for it, i3 is not a pushover, unless lang siguro if the game is really optimized for more than 2 cores, which most games are still sweet spot @ 2.5-3 cores, and besides games are still gpu intensive,mostly that is..
