Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Thanks rajkumar...can u post the models from other brand also with 7k range

Intel DP55WB @ 6.1k (Dont go for this.Not recommended for OCers and for some obvious reasons that we all know )
Asus P7P55-D @ 10k (Nothing less with ASUS)
MSI P55-GD65 @ 9.5k (Same here...)
So you only choice left is Gigabyte GA-P55-UD2 @ 7.3k..

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Okay..I did some more research, looks like the GT240 is a better card. It is beating the HD4670 in most of the reviews. But both of these are not really powerful cards. At high resolutions they will stagger to spin out quick FPS.

Also you can see a VGA card performance list for all companies compiled by overclock.net. This is no writing in stone, but it does make logical sense.

GRAPHICS CARDS RANKING.

I have shortlisted my choices:
proccy : Core-i5
mobo: I dont know the models which support socket 1156 for i5 so pls suggest & i also
dont how expensive they are ?
gCard: HD4870
RAM : 4GB DDR3
PSU : CM 500Watt (i hope its gud)

Motherboards:
Gigabyte GA-P55M-UD2 @ 7350
MSI P55-GD65 @ 9738
Asus P7P55-D @ 10168

All offer DDR3 (dual channel) with PCI.E 2.0 x16 or PCI.E 2.0 x 8 x 8 (forced auto-arrange)

PSU: (recommending what I feel are the best companies -- strictly my personal views)

Tagan:
Stone Rock TG600-U37 600W @ 4410
BZ500 (modular) 500W @ 4463
BZ600 (modular) 600W @ 5580
TG600-U33 (modular) 600W @ 6195

Seasonic:
Bronze S12II 500W @ 4725

Corsair:
CMPSU-650TX 650W @ 6930
CMPSU-550VX 550W @ 5565
CMPSU-450VX 450W @ 3990

went to collect my gfx card now along with my smps and the comp dude said that a corsair vx450 smps wont be able to withstand the 4870 cuz u need two 6 pin connectors and that a mininum needed smps is 600 watt one. wadeya guys think

He does not know what he is talking about. The Corsair VX450 will beautifully support the HD4870. It has a max power pull of 180W. See the tables I posted above. Though to be comfortable you could go for a 500W.

Regarding the PCI.E connectors. You can easily convert 2x molex connectors to a PCI.E 6 pin. Using an adapter easily available:

A 600W requirement for you would be way-over-kill.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^VX450W can handle upto 4890/GTX275. GTX260/4870 are well within limits. Also, he has not mentioned which 500W/600W PSU he was recommended. I think it will mostly be the useless CM Extreme Power Duo 600W.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Dont cry just increase your pocket size a little & get a higher version card....
like 4830

I have shortlisted my choices:
proccy : Core-i5
mobo: I dont know the models which support socket 1156 for i5 so pls suggest & i also
dont how expensive they are ?
gCard: HD4870
RAM : 4GB DDR3
PSU : CM 500Watt (i hope its gud)

Ok guys even i was thinking the same there is no point buying these cards because they wouldn't even last a year, with new tech coming up and wouldn't give the desired performance. Then i will wait and expand my pocket so that some good beaste fits in it and stays for a long time.
So guys i will post again and hares you people after inc. my budget
bye

1. Budget.
2. Current system (or what it will be when you purchase a GPU).
3. Resolution you plan to play at.

hmm. most of the reviews i had read were of GT220. thought u were referring to that. sorry.

yes , it appears that 4670 is getting beaten by the GT240. But at what price are you getting the GT240 ?

At theitwares , zotac GT220 was quoted for some 4.5k . So , i assume the GT240 is above 5k . In that case , GT240 is not at all a god buy.

The 9600GT ( 256 bit version ) is priced around 4.5k and is one heck of a card for its price. Beats both the 4670 and GT240 easily. Why not get that ?

VX450W can handle 4870 then i will select this one coz its cheap & in budget...

mobo: Gigabyte --7k

PSU: Corsair VX450

Cabinet: ??? (it shud be below 3k)

every component prices are increasing now

GCard: powercolor HD4870
HDD : 1TB (within 4k)

CM Elite 335 @ 2132 ( has a transparent side panel for an extra premium of rs 278 )

And just to tempt you, since this post is fair.

CM Gladiator 600 @ 3534 (has much better cooling). I would suggest you to read up on both, and decide if the extra rs 500 is worth it for you.

Enjoy the HD4870, great card. OC's like hell.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

anybody using corsair vx450 with radeon 4870 ? i intend to get the two. But my dealer says the psu may not be sufficient and insists that i should go for hx620 or 650W model.

This is the rest of the config that i'll be buying.
e7500 ( pop's an intel fan )
gigabyte G41
500GB
samsung dvd rw
2GB ddr2 800MHz RAM ( corsair if budget permits ).

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

@sagarv, just wait for core i3 and dual core i5 processors. they are released in many parts. These are set to replace exisiting core 2 duo lineup.

Not sure what your dealer has on his mind. On this page only, I answered the very same question. Even here the dealer was suggestion a 600W supply. Weird, what is wrong with these dealers.

Here you go:

By the way, can you not go for a better C2D. Say a quad or at least an E8400.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

@asigh , i'll use the pc for about a year and a half only. so , i dont want to spend much on it. My choice would have been x4 620 or x3 435. But dad insists on intel and if i choose q9550 or e8400 , i'll have to go for a 4850. So i preferred e7500 + 4870

I agree with you that vx450 is enough for 4870. In fact , even the corsair website recommendation list for C2D + 4870 has vx450 in it.

@desiibond , When are they coming out ? If its in a week or two , i'll wait.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^ Sure..fine.

You can OC the E7500. Put an OEM HSF on it. You should be good to go.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^ budget ? resolution ? power supply u have / willing to buy ?

if money is no issue , among the ones u've mentioned , 4870 is the best and can be used for the longest time in a sense.

VFM ? probably 4850. or maybe even GT240

HD4870 is the most powerful card. Go for that. You will need a minimal 450W PSU for this. Preferably a good company.

 

[abhidev]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

HD5770 is better than HD4850 but not worth the 11k price tag.

you can check these:

Zotac GTX260: 9.5k
Palit GTX260 Sonic: 10.5k
Palit GTX275 sonic: 13k
Sapphire HD4890: 12.5k-13k

And wat abt GT240 and HD4870...are the good or HD 4850 is the best among the three??
