Hmmm looks like i need a cpu upgrade,would it be better if i go for a cpu upgrade to core2duo e7500 and then look for a better card,i heard about hd5670,and geforce gt240,both in 512mb,ddr5 variants,which seems better?What to do with these obsolete components?I have a collection of many,even sd ram sticks frm my pentium 3 Any advice!!,

better settle for DualCore rather than Core2Duo. not worth the pricing now. also invest in a descent PSU. not 3-4k but something like Gigabyte 400-460W or FSP Saga II 350-400W, as you going for a graphics card. for graphics card first check the pricing for both. HD5670 512Mb best buy for 5-5.5k. else GTS240 for 4.5k, not above it.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

sorry for intruding the thread guys!!
but i feel you should see this before jumping the gun on palit gtx460 sonic:no:
it seems that the palit cards are not as advertised and might have some serious problems:(
follow the link below
Palit GeForce GTX 460 Sonic could have issues !

this should help making a more conscious decision
follow the link i've pasted

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^ what's your total budget ?? - it would be easier for us to recommend components for you and you will be able to make a wise decision.

BTW, even Zotac GTX 460 has some heatsink and heating issues

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

My budget is about 10k for upgrading the components,on the other side i'm also willing to buy a netbook on the move,dell mini 10 was the only worthy thing i saw till now

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

i think you will be able to connect two monitors in DVI mode. Generally a GFX card has one DVI and one analog output.

Sorry for suddenly dropping in and asking but which is better , onboard grapics or separate graphics card, if one is not at all a gamer but a hardcore video capturer, encoder and editor ?

a graphics card will be best buy. but which IGP are you pitting it against? even a entry level card like HD4550 or 5450 will give better result.

MSI 890GXM-G65 Board

I hope I have guessed it right about IGP as integrated Graphics Processor since I am not a techie.

I was hoping to reduce my cost by buying the above board alone instead of non-IGP board and grahpics card but will only do it if it is worth doing that otherwise there is no point in going in for saving money in unwanted area. :p

yup. you got it right :p well 890GX is almost equal in performance to HD5450. also with 890GX you'll have 2 PCIe X 16 slots to be filled up by graphics card later when u really need.

for these kind of needs a gfx card from nvidia supporting cuda is just great - for starting point get a 9800GT around 5.5k.

CUDA enabled gpu encoding is way more faster than cpu encoding - get it and feel the difference :p

Thanks. I will re-assemble my config. :)

These never end :p so one more question to you and everyone here.

If my CPU and GPU both have D-Sub Port at rear, where should I plug in my monitor ? & Please do not misunderstand me but is it also better in quality rather than just being faster ? :)
