Graphics Cards related queries here.

Re: help needed plz...

@ hazard.shobhit

Assuming you'll get corsair vx 450 here are the cards you can get:

NVIDIA - Geforce 9600gt,gts 250,gtx 260(212 sp's)
ATI - Radeon 4850,4870,4890,5750,5770,5850

Now mention your budget so we can suggest you the right card.
Also mention the resolution you like to game & perhap the current lcd you're using.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^ I guess the max resolution of your monitor is 1366x768 or 1440x900.Better go for powercolor 4850 @ 6k or msi gts 250 @ 5.8k. If you want to be future proof and want a dx11 based card then a radeon 5750 from sapphire or powercolor @ 8-8.5k will suffice.

Buddy please mention the psu you're using.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^ Yup, and the power consumption is way better too :p

So with no PSU upgrade a HD5570 ( recommended with no PSU upgrade ) or 5670 ( has more power draw so recommended this with a decent PSU ) should be more suitable :p

and I think HD4850 will be bottlenecked by his cpu.

@ divyam Do your mobo has a pci-e x16 slot ?? Which cpu do you have ??

It has a PCI.Ex16 dock.

But again, coming to what TopGear said. The maximum his LGA775 socket will support is Celeron series. The HD4850 will hardly be harnessed with this system. But if the user wants to he can get the HD4850, and use it for his next upgrade.

Ur budget? The max u can get is HD4670 or HD4850(if u have a gud PSU), anything above that, i doubt your processor will be a bottleneck.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Hi,

My Budget is 5k-8k (lower is better),

I'm running Intel Pentium D 3.2 GHz in 945GNT board which have PCI x16 slot with 4GB 667Mhz DDR2 Memory.

I am not in Gaming, But use a lot of photo editing & other multimedia work such as encoding video & converting video.

I want to use 2x17" Samsung Monitor(1280x1024 max they can throw) with dual setup and I upgrade soon 24" or bigger monitor when they available. I just want to expand my workspace.

I am choosing Palit HD4850 as it have two output.

Can I get this is above mention budget? Please suggest

P.S:- I am using cooler master 600w PSU with Gladiator cabinet

already answered in other thread.

the PSU is a crap.. just 300W
well i m upgrading that!!

if u upgrading PSU beware not to get the CM xtreme power. don't b fooled by its rating like 600W @ 3k or so. its more crap than ur PSU. friends PSU blew up within 7hrs when he attached a GTS250.

if u got a good PSU (not CM extreme power of coarse) that can handle the card, go ahead.

This is probably your graphics card, you are having 3584 MB of ram as most of Nvidia's low end Graphics card use Turbo Cache technology which has its own memory plus its uses some amount of system memory. Probably your card is using rest of the memory.
The other reason may be use of 32 bit OS. Then upgrade to 64 bit OS for using GB of memory.
Now all the Graphics card have their own memory, they may share some of your system memory, like your card.
At 10k here goes your suggestion
Card: MSI HD5750 1GB GDDR5 @ 8.2K (If you want DirectX 11) or PowerColour HD4870 512MB GDDR5 @ 8k (you are ok with DX 10.1, need raw power)
PSU: Zebronics 550W Pro @ 2.8k or Gigabyte 80 Plus Active PFC 460W @ 2.2k

Re: Graphics Cards query

Thanks for the reply,but my system can be upgraded to 2Gb only.I have a problem in upgrading as I checked up with the motherboard manufacturer they say I can goto 667 Mhz ram,HP says not beyond 533 Mhz,I'm confused and above all 533 is not available since 2 years and now even 667 is almost gone.So,kindly suggest me that is there a way that I could increase my ram beyond 2gb if yes,i wd still search for a 667 n put em all.Though as if now even if I put more,it doesn't show more than 2 gb.Do you think I need to change my motherboard n Power supply as well.
Thanks

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

@ divyam - mention your total budget for the psu and gfx card. Then it will be easier to suggest the best combo for you :p

@ dissel - HD4850 is a very good card but as your needs are photo editing and video encoding you will benefit more by using nvidia cuda and the GTS250 ( power consumption is 10W more as compared to HD4850 ) is what I suggest you.

But as Sam.Shab has told see if you can get a new psu though I've seen people running a HD4890 using a CM Extreme 500W :p

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Thanks Sam.Shab & topgear for early replying.

@topgear,

nvidia cuda GTS 250 have dual output ? DVI-D Type ? and is it available 5k-8k price bracket?

My PSU is CM Power Plus 600W...Can it run ?

Is it available shop like Vedant /Eastern Logica? Please reply.
