ATI Radeon HD4850 Query

[celldweller1591]

After a long wait, i am finally buying ATI radeon HD4850 next month. I want to ask if its going to run fine on my config.

PSU : CLI Odyssey 450w
Mobo : ECS ATA 100 945GCTM2 with x16 PCIe Slot - 1
Ram : 2GB DDr2
CPU : Intel C2d 2.0 Ghz

No A.C in my room . Do overheating problems exist for this card?
I know the config of the card. It suits me the best in 7-8k budget for all my needs
Just want to know that if it will run fine on the above mobo and PSU.
I have checked ATI site for the requirements of the card. My pc fulfills all of them, just need your advice.
Thanks in Advance !!!

spending 7-8k on a old DX10 card ryt now is nt a gud idea...when there plenty of DX11 cards hanging around....

My specs are in front of you, suggest me a good Dx11 card in that budget please ! I want Ati or nVidia only coz of the fact that in Linux, you may have hard time installing Gfx drivers sometimes

For 8k you can go for a hd 5750 based card from sapphire,msi or powercolour.Adding 1k more will get you the hd 5770 which performs even better. Both cards outpace the 4850 easily so making a decision here is a no brainer but i think you have to change that psu into a more substantial one.

Go for FSP Saga II 500 watts within 3k or gigabyte superb 460 @ 2.2k.

 

[saurabh_1e]

first change the psu to any good branded company
most probably fsp saga II 500w <3k

then think of an graphic card

sapphire 5670----->5.5k
biostar 5770------>8.6k

choose from these cards

for 8k:

Sapphire HD5670 512Mb @ 5.4k
FSP Saga II 400W @ 2.2k

both from MediaHome. also do consider OC that proccy. its too slow.

400 W psu is too less imo.get a 600W psu atleast.. + 4850 aint bad but a dx11 card will do well

Dude..i have only seen graphics card from ATI or N-Vidia....

 

[gopi_vbboy]

get a corsair psu 600w

i think max a gcrad draws is 100-110w

i am talking about Palit, zotac etc.
Well , thanks for your suggestions but is it necessary to change the PSU ? Coz i was in a mood to buy a new LCD and my budget is limited

WTF, what 600W at least? OP won't go for 2 X HD4850 in Xfire. a 400W (good) PSU will b enough. yes that can b said for cheap desi PSU or Extreme Power. a Corsair VX450W can tun a HD4870 easily with a power hungry processor & suitable motherboard. nothing like that 600W minimum. that absolute wrong idea of power wattage.

Maxtor too (Pro cards).

i am talking about Palit, zotac etc.

better b on safer side buddy. why risk that PSU. i seen that PSU on Lynx. its cheap one (comparable to Zebronics). it may run but theres every chance it'll blow up, if not the PSU, the card surely.

Boss...Palit,Zotac...uses ATI & NVdia chip.....those r manufacturers....
so there r many using ATI or Nvidia CHIP....

 

[celldweller1591]

why risk that PSU.

I have been thinking upgrading the whole PC. That Processor sux too much. I wud like to buy i7 but then Mobo needs to be changed.
Neways, thanks for suggestions guys. I will buy new PSU and then a Dx11 card if possible next month.
