A Review for WGT 2008 Malaysia & EAH4870 TOP

ASUS is indeed a great brand and provides good services. Whenever I join WGT known as World Game Master Tournament, I always hope to win great prizes from ASUS, its hardwares, thus, I was downhearted when I got to know the prizes for the WGT 2008 were cash prizes. However, it is still good because ASUS had increased the cash prize from RM 14,000.00 to RM37,000.00. It was a great experience for me personally and I am looking forward to defend my title next year for WGT 2009.

The PC performance in the WGT2008, thanks to ASUS that has brought us gorgeous visual and to another level of Vista as it is always unstable. Afterall, we are the only country uses Vista, I am proud of ASUS Malaysia for this achievement. Additionally, it's nice to see the EAH4870 TOP outperform the HD 4850 by 20 FPS at 1600x1200 with 4x AA, 8x AF and HDR enabled.

Almost five months ago ATI Radeon HD 4850 and HD 4870 were launched, ASUS has overclocked Radeon HD 4870 for even more power, "TOP" card in the form of the EAH4870 TOP. The TOP line-up from ASUS is prestigious that they don't get a card and just add an extra 10MHz to the core and 20MHz to the memory, the TOP line-up of cards are really well overclocked cards that stand out from the competition.

Like most other HD 4870s on store shelves, the EAH4870 TOP sports 512MB of GDDR5 memory and a 256-bit memory bus. In fact, this card is awarded with 2nd Generation 55nm GPU Solution, World's Fastest DDR5 Memory on board (3.7GHz). Additionally, the card features support for DirectX 10.1, Shader Model 4.1, and CrossFireX multi-GPU technology. ASUS has increased the core from 750MHz to 815MHz. The memory clock has also been increased from 900MHz (3600MHz Data Rate) to 925MHz (3700MHz Data Rate).

With a higher price as well as increased clock speed, the Asus TOP will have to beat the Nvidia GeForce GTX 260 soundly to be worth buying.The overclocked memory leads to increased memory bandwidth, boosting it from 115GB/sec to 118.4GB/sec, partially more than the 112GB/sec from a stock-speed GeForce GTX 260. Comparing the performance of the Asus TOP with that of a stock-speed HD 4870, we can see some definite improvements.
I have played Call of Duty 4 to test on the Top Card, as well as on GeForce GTX 260. The latter provides an interesting comparison with the Asus TOP. The GTX 260 is the best at all resolutions by a stock-speed Radeon 4870, so it's no surprise that the Asus TOP is even faster. A little tweak can be done on a pre-overclocked graphics card, and by using AMD's GPU Clock Tool v0.9.8, we raised the GPU frequency from 815MHz to 860MHz. This increased the minimum frame rate of CoD4 at 1,920 x 1,200 by 2fps to 42fps.I managed to overclock the GPU of the Asus TOP to 880MHz but, while CoD4 ran without any graphical corruption, we saw no further increase in the frame rate. Settling on a GPU speed of 860MHz, I increased the memory from 1.85GHz to 1.98GHz (3.96GHz effective), and managed to squeeze a further 1fps out of CoD4 at 1,920 x 1,200. My overclocking increased the minimum frame rate by 3fps at 1,920 x 1,200.

In conclusion, looking at the numbers, the ASUS EAH4870 TOP is faster than a stock-speed GeForce GTX 260 (and even the pre-overclocked Zotac GeForce GTX 260 AMP) in CoD4.

There's only one thing that Radeon HD 4870 users are worry about which is the heat that being produced. A research team found out that Radeon HD 4870 graphics cards using the reference cooler do get very hot, with the average idle temperature exceeding 70 degrees without any software tweaks. Increasing the fan speed does help, but then that also increases the volume, turning an otherwise quiet graphics card into a bit of a hair dryer. As a result, this overclocked Radeon HD 4870 should only run slightly hotter than the standard cards as the fan will simply throttle up more regularly to deal with the additional heat. Therefore, we do expect that this Radeon HD 4870 will make a little bit more noise than usual, with the advantage of a little extra performance.

What people really want when they buy a TOP card from ASUS is performance and this card manages to deliver, therefore the feminine look of the cooler with its pink flowers on the card isn't an issue at all. Moreover, you don't see because the card facing down all the time. But it was still a surprise to see the design when pulling the card out of the box.

However, overall the ASUS HD 4870 TOP is a good card. With all the cables and accessories we need to the card up, we can easily setup the card without any hassles. A few extra dollars, you do not need to overclocking yourself as wrongly overclocked, might burn up the motherboard and spoil the card.

MMORPG CHALLENGE: FELDA,School And Angry Treant!

The Inn. I Wonder If They Have "Special Room Service"

Once again, our journey continue in the World Of Kung Fu!


But this time we have a slight changes in terms of completing our mission quest. Instead of killing mobs or sending some quest stuff, we are now force to gather material by a more conventional method, farming! Basically we started off as kung fu hero and now we are stuck in gathering materials to complete our quest. We are force to cutting grass for herbs, chopping trees for woods and mining for ore. This game really should be used by FELDA instead to promote agriculture as a legitimate business, which is true! In this game, one of the best earliest way to earn money is to gather raw materials,open your own shop and sell it to other players!

Dont believe we spend our time farming? Check this out:

Warning: Cutting Tress In Real Life Is Hazardous To Environment. Dont Try This At Where Eva U Are

This is definitely not a game for environmentally friendly people. But do not worry, the trees will grow back like mushroom after the rain.


Since Triz a.k.a SinisTers(In game nick) is on SPM period as well as waiting for our new 3 friends who wanted to join our journey lvl up, we decided to just play farmer for awhile as well as forging our weapons and armors to make it stronger. It wasnt that hard to forge it but after +4, the forging item have a tendency to break if fail. So its best we keep it to +4 until we are rich enough to afford to keep on breaking our precious item.

Didnt i mention we have 3 new friends? Yup we manage to get 3 new players to join us after we post our previous article here. Since i got NBTD, better i help them lvl up by killing up quest boss, playing a role as big brother and sifu in WOKF(although im jst lvl 22).

Helping Newbies In Their Quest

We started to notice that lvling is getting harder from lvl 20 onwards. With lots of stronger monster reapppear and harder to kill in a mob. We recommend everyone to have a habit to partying after reaching this lvl.


Oh btw since i got NBTD again, i manage to gather all the materials required to form our own school!(another name for guild/clan). Since we are doing some sort of review, so we definitely need to try all the aspect WOKF offer in the game.Check it out below:

Founder Jali To You!

LOL the nice thing about having a school is as usuall school war! With lots of cool exp and items not to mention bragging rights, its something we definitely must try. Though maybe not now since we definitely gonna be squish like flies.


So thats all folks! I end this week journey with some interesting and amazing pics below. Till then, everybody loves kung fu fighting! Huhhhh!

Some Nice Graphic I Must Say

Ooo My Staff Is Shining~

Mother Nature Respond!

Angry Treant: This Is For My Trees! Jali: This Is For My Life!

Blizzard releases patch 1.16.0 for Starcraft

I'm writing this article not because there are many Starcraft players who care about the game. Pratically this game is already dead in Malaysia but all I want is to say is that Blizzard is a company who cares about their games, no matter how old and how sucky it is. So Blizzard recently released the new 1.16.0 patch for Starcraft. Many exploits were fixed and most of them concerns Zerg. So here is the changelog:

Feature Changes

- In-game chat is now saved in replays. Note: whispers are not saved.
- Hitting the Escape key while in the chat room will clear your typed text.
- “/reply” (or just “/r”) will send a whisper to person who most recently whispered you.

Bug Fixes

- Fixed localization issues with “from” and “to” in whispers.
- Starcraft now only uses as much CPU as it needs to run smoothly.

Exploits

- Fixed an exploit which allowed Zerg players to gain minerals through mutations.
- Fixed an exploit which allowed Zerg players to recycle an upgrading building.
- Fixed an exploit which allowed Zerg players to extend their creep with a drone.
- Fixed an exploit which allowed Zerg players to move Drones over impassable terrain.
- Fixed an exploit which allowed Terran players to drop a nuke anywhere on the map.
- Fixed an exploit which allowed players to pause the game while in the pre-game lobby.

SGNDT 2008 FINALE

Last weekend, SMM Grand National Dota Tournament(SGNDT) 2008 was held at Berjaya Times Square. The launch was symbolize with ice braking ceremony as well as SMM crew wearing skirts officiated by none other than Dr.Ricky Lim!

As usuall, the tournament has never failed to attract more and more people to either participate or just be a spectators. This year SGNDT has boost its cash prize to up to a total of RM120,000 and more! Not just that, SMM go a lil bit further by inviting 8 international teams to participate in the tournament as well. This is trully a challenge to our local team.

Unfortunately, the results was not sided on our local team. The greatest dissapointment is when Kingsurf who got no.2 in ESWC Grand Final only manage to get 4th place when they lost to CANT and Evo-xtc in the winner and loser bracket respectively. But the WCG Asia 2008 Champion Ehome prove that they are the best team through out the whole tournament and as well as the whole Asia.

The result is as follows:

Champion: Ehome

1st Runner up: Evo-xtc

2nd Runner up: CANT

4th Place: Kingsurf

5th Place: Fnatic

6th Place: Survivor

7th Place: Ucpro- Tbun- W4si

8th Place:- PGA

As far as coverage is concern, there is just plenty to talk about. An event which won 2 Guinness Malaysia Book Of Record for most participants as well as the largest cash prizes is undescribeable. Instead we let the pics below speak for itself how awesome the tournament is. And dont forget to watch some interesting videos that we manage to caught. So enjoy! ^^
