Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
am planning to get myself an hd5850 graphics card as soon as it is available. but am having a CM extreme power 500W spms now and it has only 1 4-pin PCI-E power connector while 5850 requires two 75W 6-pin PCI-E power connectors. please specify the least expensive power supply that can power a 5850 and meet my power req... my system spec : C2Q 9550, MSI P45, 1TB+(500x2)GB HDD, 2x2GB DDR2, etc
should a corsair 550W be enough??? if not which one should i go for???

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
CM500W extreme power should be able to power up HD5850 as one of our member is using a HD4890 with CM500W Extreme Power Plus.
You will get a 2 port molex to 6 pin pci-e power adapter with the card. You can use that.
It will use your PSU's two molex plugs though.
But I would strongly recommend you to get a more beefier PSU like corsair VX550W instead

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
Hi,
I'm not sure if this has been covered before, but i have a problem with my ati 4850. I'm using vista ultimate, and the card heats up like crazy! i get temps of 80-85 while idle, and upto 110 when playing games..
And this is after i set the fan speed manually to 65%.
Am using the latest drivers..
Thing is, it used to work pretty ok a few months back.. idle temps were 60-65, and gaming temps around 90, but with the fan speed at 65%.. Could it be the driver updates?
Speakin of which, i cant find the VPU Recover tab int he latest Catalyst Control Centre..
Any ideas anyone?

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
Yup, they are more VFM but the only catch is they are not readily available everywhere unlike CM or corsair

@ shirazhansen - Try to set the fan speed to 90-95% ( yup I know that would sound like jet engines but gain it's better than a overheated card IMO )

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
did you check if there is any dust that is preventing proper cooling. Also, there is a possibility that GPU fan is malfunctioning. Though you set it at 65% speed, it may not be running fast and thereby not giving adequate cooling.

Hello Friends,
First of all, HAPPY DIWALI to all members.
OK, I was having EVGA 8800GT SC but recently card went bad so i sent for Replacement and got Palit GTS 250 512 MB Green Edition after paying difference. Now when the card is ideal, its clock speed decreases to 300/600/300 (core/shader/memory). So sometimes whie playing games, in the starting game is very stuttering and after abt 5 secs, game picks up its speed. I think its due to this auto clock speed decrease due to green edition. Is there any way by which i can disable this power saving feature? my System specification are in th signature.
Thanks in Advance.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
@desiibond,
The fan 'sounds' like it's working fine.. Same as before..
About the dust, how do u suggest i clean it? Should i open it up myself or try and get it serviced? Any idea where i can get a 'GECube ATI HD 4850' serviced in b'lore? Dunno if GeCube is a well known manufacturer..
@topgear,
I did try that, but all it does is bring the idle temp down to around 70-75.. gaming temps still hit 110! And yeah, my CPU sounds like it's gonna take off any minute..

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
If carefull, you can open the GPU your self and clean it out. There are a lot of screws, but not that complicated.
Regarding the CPU:
Your idle temperatures are a tad on the high side. Is it possible you can reseat the HSF and apply good TIM. Also clean out the fan assembly. Run the Heat sink under running water, remove the fan first, and let the metal dry out....?
How are you monitoring the temperatures..?

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
The store where you bought the card will have phone number and address of RMA center.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
No. I havent installed anything other than drivers.
Ya, green edition is meant to work in that way but there should be a way to stop it.
anyways, thanks for reply. Anyone else knows anything abt it?

Get the sapphire HD4550 512MB GDDR3 as it will be more suitable for your multimedia and HTPC

Sounds like your CPU is also overheating. Can you tell your CPU and GPU load and idle temps ? Use apps like real temp and GPU-z along with orthos for cpu load test and furmark for gpu load test. Just run them for around 5 mins tso we could get an idea about your system temps. Also do post in your HDD temp and what cabby and PSU you are using ?
To clean the gfx card remove it from slot and clean with with a paint brust ( a brush used for water color some 12-18 number one will do just fine ).

@ chokhu - try to OC your your gfx card using riva tuner a small bit. Say 25-50Mhz increment on both GPU and mem. That should prevent the down clocking of your GPU.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
I have already overclocked my GPU/Mem using utility called vtune which has been provided with installation cd of card. Does overclocking with rivatuner make any difference?
Its a tendency of Green Edition card that it consumes less power when card is idle n for that it reduces the clock speed. But isnt there any way to stop this? I mean any bios hack or driver patch or nething else?
