Am I the first digitian to buy HD4770??

[desiibond]

and what about catalyst 9.3

nope. haven't tried 9.3. And I don't think 9.3 would work.
look at this:

*www2.ati.com/relnotes/Catalyst_94_release_notes.pdf

HD4770 is not in the list of added cards.

 

[Silicon Chip]

HD 4770 can max crysis @ 1024 x 768(no MSAA)

ATi has bad drivers 9.4 and 9.5 in win7 are unstable and high temps, at least for me.

And as for support, jus go mod the .inf and manual install and you are good to go.

@tejaslok
if u are more into games then get the X2 720 and go for GTX260 or 4870 1G instead of X4 920 and 4770.
both combos costs the same.

 

[tejaslok]

all right, I bought today only CPU and cabinet but not monitor

here are my specs and the rates accoring to SP road

Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 @11.4 K

U should have got a X3 720+biostar 790gxb + gtx 260. same price better perfomance in games. But forextensive CPU related apps ur config is good.

what smps is tht? Did u check efficiency and specs. @ 3.7k u can expect maximum of 60~70% efficiency and lot of cheap parts.

Why is everyone paying 7.5k? the card is worth 5k and even less in US. Even if u import it it will cost 6.5k. The only advantage is u have indian warranty.

congrats the system is cool Btw. Game hard.

@desidude

I think something is wrong. U should be able to play crysis @max high settiing in tht resolution 1200 X 800 and Full HD in medium setiing.

It acually equals and betters HD 4850 till 1600 X 1200 res.
And what all games are u planning to play with this? test GTA 4 plz

 

[desiibond]

now am able to to.

replaced my old proccy with this:

1) AMD X2 7750 BE
2) Gigabyte MA78GM-US2H (780G chipset)
3) Corsair 2x2GB DDR2 800MHz RAM.

now am getting around 40fps.

 

[dOm1naTOr]

so, u finally had a CPU and mobo upgrade.
cool

@desiibond

I can't understand ur one point, u always recommend others & bought yourself also, that Gigabyte 780G mobo, I agree that it has very good onboard graphics, but u have 4770 then y worry abt graphics, u could have bought a low end mobo also. So, is it that it has AM3 support, thats y u recommend it? Just wanted to know your point of view

 

[dOm1naTOr]

yup, ASUS M3A 78-EM was also bout the same price or eve less. It has almost same or better features, with esata too.

1) it's 2oz copper layer makes it more stable overclocker
2) solid capacitors result in better power efficiency and longer life
3) dual BIOS means I can play more with BIOS
4) am3 cpu ready
5) ddr2 1200MHz support

a low end mobo might have a good feature set but what I needed is a brand with reliability and good support structure. Biostar mobos for example are good for normal use for they are pretty unstable in overclocking due to the use of cheaper components. Also, note that gigabyte RMA is just 2kms away from my house.

 

[desiibond]

moreover, by going cheaper, I will have to go for lower chipset like 690G, which will have lot lot slower hypbertransport bus speed and is build on a higher fabrication process.

 

[saqib_khan]

^^okay, now I understood, Thanx.

 

[saqib_khan]

I thought, the only reason is AM3 support, but u have a list of +'points for this mobo..lol

 

[j1n M@tt]

I prefer Gigabyte MA78GM-US2H over Asus M3A78-EM. M3A78-EM has lots of compatibility issues with X2 7750, like it keeps supplying the 7750 with 1.36V vCore like it is a X3 CPU....even thou it has some drooling features over the Gigabyte 780G mobo.
