Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Ok this is the first time i am posting in this thread , was going to create a new thread but stumbled upon it . Anyway my old mobo finally gave up and hence i had to build an entire new system . I have allready purchased the following items like core 2 duo e7500 , 2*2= 4gb ddr2 800 mhz kingston ram , gigabyte G31m-es2l mobo . I have about 7-7.5k left for my graphics card so please suggest accordingly . Also make sure that it is supported by my mobo , it has an pci-e slot but then who knows . I have a cheap 500 w power supply from power safe .

Give ur PSU for some price

Get 9800GT / HD4850 + Corsair CX400

9800GT + cx 400 => 8.5K to 8.7K

HD 4850 + CX400 => 9.7K

^IMO the 4770 should be a better option for rohan as it consumes much less power and dissipates lesser heat.

@ rohan_mhtr Which monitor are you using? Please wait for some time. ATI 58XX cards are going to launch within 1 month and that will send the other cards' prices crashing. So you will get a much better deal then.

I am using 19 inch samsung lcd monitor . BTW isnt a 500w psu enough since i connect my monitor to external power unit and not to the psu . And how about GTS 250 from palit , i am getting a deal of 7.1k for it .

what's your budget?
What is model/make of your current SMPS?

Strait Answer to abhidev's question... ATI Radeon HD 5870X2. Wait untill it hits the market. It is the best thing you can get now.

Simply put, monitor doesn't draw power from SMPS/PSU!

vamsi, I doubt however that he will need that card for prototype.. I played it on my onboard HD3300 no probs wahatsoever... lol!

My PSU provides a power input for the monitor !!

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

OLD/Cheap psu's have that sort of connector but newer monitor don't use such connectors unless your monitor is from an ancient age but you are using a modern day sexy looking LCD

Well you have the recommendations for the GPU below. Regarding Prototype..it has sound issues..the sound is really really low..even when cranked to maximum. Makes the experience less immersive. I stopped playing it.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^The sound started being nice when i cranked up the volume to 85pc on my Creative 2.1 and to desii when he cranked it up to 50% on his MX-5021

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

What about gts-250 guys , is it worth to spend about 7k on it or should i wait . I can wait for about 15 days more .

 

[desiibond]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^go for it. or you can wait for HD4860 that is going to be available for similar price

Dude the SMPS is really needed for MID range & High range cards , so u need to get good smps like coolermaster / corsair

& if u want to play @ full HD resolution u need a MID range powerful card like HD 4870 1GB , GTX 260 , HD 4890 , GTX 275

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
