Palit HD4850 SONIC 512MB for 9.7k 8)

His max budget is 13k, shouldn't the Palit HD4850 1GB Sonic fit? It has 1GB memory which should increase FPS in high resolutions with AA turned on.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

But if he's going to game <1440x900 then it will be useless so better off saving money and buying something else. If he's going above 1440x900 then definitely 1GB.

 

[desiibond]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

True. in that case, you better stick to the cheapest Palit/sapphire 4850 you can get and save 3k

That's why I said "Hi-Resolution" in my post, and also mentioned AA, try running Crysis/Warhead @ 1440x900, with all settings @ Max/Enthusiast and 8x AA.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Haven't played Far Cry 2 but from the reviews I can say it should run well.

Warhead should give you some REAL trouble, just finished playing it twice. Try running everything at Medium or some settings @ gamer and some @ medium with AA off.

And I remind you that Warhead has some real issues with ATI cards, seems they do horrible in this game. The game itself is buggy, in some parts of the Ice levels there was slow down with my config even @ 1024x768, which was caused by memory leaks, if you see any sudden excessive slow downs just save and restart the game to get rid of memory leaks.

You need to keep tweaking the settings to get good FPS, and expect about 20-40% less FPS in ICE levels than in jungle levels.

But I played crysis-warhead & farcry 2 smoothly on my Palit-HD4670...on 1024*768 with all settings HIGH....not very or ultra high........

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^ ur existing card was a great one during its time.. its roughly equivalent to 8600GT. . the best upgrade you could get is a radeon 4850 or 4670 . ur proccy is not fast enough to use the new g-card. .better to upgrade everything after 3 months.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^I dont think his mobo has a PCIe x16 slot or does it have ?
