Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
you can but you may require to wait really really long to get some good valued or well priced proccy+ mobo. as no 6-series board from Intel revealed nor any AM3+ board from AMD so take it to be 6month before shops have these processor-mobo in stock. so take it as: buy now or wait 6months (8if you consider a bit of price drop).

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
Bulldozer chips are gonna be compatible with AM3 socket...so maybe I can buy 870 chipset based MoBo now (as I will be using discrete GPU) with decent proc. like Athlon II X3 435 (which I can replace later with latest AMD Bulldozer proc.)...sell-off my current system...and with some more money buy a new GPU which is more powerful than the current one....How does this sound?

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
Listen, at least give your system a try before jumping to conclusion. I don't think even 1080P HD movies will be any problem. I played 720p movies in my old Athlon 64 bit 3000 + processors with ffdshow codec.
And your processor is a dual core one with decent capabilities + you have a good Graphics card. So give it a try first and then decide.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
sorry to say but this not going to happen. AM3+ processors aren't backward compatible. though yes, AM3 processors can be used on AM3+ motherboards. this is cause AM3+ processors have on-die graphics & need a new socket & no northbridge to work. AM3 processors need northbridge in case of no dedicated graphics used. also i think PCIe controller is in the northbridge.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
that will run the gfx card but it's better to get FSP Saga II 350W at 1.5k or 400W at 2k or Gigabyte Superb 460W @ 2.1k.

wait for GTS450 512MB prices. if its around 7k then get corsair CX400W extra for 2.7k....

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
Thanks Jas for ur suggestion!!I aint updated with the latest tech in GPUs.Is GTS450 the 1 with "fermi" technology?If yes wat r the advantages of "Fermi"?n will it outperform HD4770/HD5670?

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
Yep,GTS450 is way better than those.
If u don't want to wait then GTS250+CX400 way to go...

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
Check this out guys: GTX 460 1GB SLI vs. HD 5850 CFX redux
So, ATI has finally fixed their crossfire issue and the two cards are back to where they should be: 2 x 5850 > 2 x 460 (though the difference is small)
Its time to get back to the drawing boards for the Nvidia drivers team if they want to keep their edge

This year the Radeon drivers have been quite painful. Though the CAP sets are helping. Am still using 10.5...!
