Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

yes. you do need a better PSU to go with new card.

Here are your choices:

1) HD5770 + Corsair VX450W (15k gone)
2) GTX260 + Corsair VX450W (14k gone)
3) GTS250/HD4850 1Gb + Corsair VX450W (11k)

thankyou desiibond.
is the 8800ultra better than gtx260? cuz i checked on nvidias site and the texture fill rate of 8800ultra is greater thanof gtx260.

Alfred E. Neuman is the avatar r4gs is using. He is the mascot for 'MAD' magazines. One of my favorites. r4gs you must be reading them...!


SM 5 is part of the Dx11 API. It offers good interfaces for object type(material) and light. As of now, games are not using it. But yea, they would. Probably by late 2010. Not enough importance to base the choice of a GPU on.

Read the in above link.
I don't know about power requirements.

I love them. I have some old ones from the '80s and early '90s.

@Tarun:
Yea your PSU will work fine. The HD4650 pulls all the juice from the PCI.Ex16 (75W - max) slot. Should be fine. Just do not try any OC.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

I think it is CM RS500-PCARA3 Extreme Power + 500W (2.8k)

is it good....

moreover the pair Core-i5 + Gigabyte is 17k....will i get a better lower price in some other vendor in lamington....coz i dont know abt ne other shops there ????

@asingh : ok i will check the price again in Lamington for HD 4870 (may be they dnt had)

If the above PSU is not gud then can i go for ne of this two

Tagan TG500-U37 --Rs 3525
CorSair VX450W -- Rs 3950

There is a shop named RealTime Computers on Lamington road. You can check that out. It has lower prices. E-Lounge suggested by Krow is good but the prices there are higher than Prime ABGB(Personal Experiences).

Go with Corsair VX450W for the PSU.

ya primeabgb is good coz of their customer support...but the prices between E-Lounge &
abgb differs vice-versa...

I hope the 'Real Time Computers' is nearby primeabgb....& is lowest

ok i will go with VX450

You could, no harm. Will provide fresh air (keep it pull), to the interiors. The HD4870 runs hot.

How about some images of the GPU/PSU/Cabinet

Infact images of it all...!

 

[desiibond]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

a 120m coolermaster fan should be enough

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

why everybody suggests only CM cabinets...y not Antec,Zebronics & VIP
they r infact downright sexy...

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

There is a good difference in the case material, cooling vents, fan mount slots. More spacious. Good cable management system.

Also: BRAND
