U can get HD4650 instead, better bang for buck, and almost same performanceI am considering buying a Graphics card. My specs are below on the sig. However my problem is that my SMPS is CoolerMaster 390W, which I have no desire to upgrade.
Can Anybody recommend me a good graphics card, without changing the Power Supply? Looking at reviews I think 4670 is a good choice like this one:

But I am not very sure, particularly at Power Supply.
I use Linux, or OpenSolaris, just to let you know.

ATI 4870 ( Don't even think of stock cooler version though - look brands like Palit, Sapphire with custom cooler )
Gigabyte GA-EX58-DS4 Rs. 13750
Depends on what do you want ?
SLi or crossfire will improve 25-50% performance ( though not all the time ).
If you think 25-50% perf improvement is justified with using two simillar cards then it's just OK for you. But

but will 4850 also be a good purchase? i am looking at a card which i wont have to upgrade for atleast another 2 years..
and if i happen to pick up a full comp now, which i will use mainly for gaming,, should i take a c2quad or c2dual?
^^ Get a ASUS 8600GT for 3k... Getting below this was waste of money and of no use with the newer games..
