Graphics Cards related queries here.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

any improvement with the 5 series cards from AMD in steam particularly?

I've not seen any reviews about this so can't tell much about it but as sheer numbers of review sites are more interested in gaming performance of ATi HD 5xxx series and amd is not also advertising their stream and avivo performance that much so I think stream and avivo performance has not improved that much compared to hd 4xxx series.

on the contrary nvidia is strongly advertising it's both gaming and cuda performance side by side and you will find some review about cuda apps so I think nvidia cuda is still better than ati stream when it comes to encode power.

What should I do now :redface:

get GTS 250 ( best one regarding your budget ) and encode those videos using badaboom and be happy and rest in peace

BTw, if you want to use linux some day nvidia has better driver support as well

true ati...is a little reluctant to do publicity of its avivo and stream...but that does not mean its not in the competition...its till has great vid compression and encoding performance....though i would agree nvidias totally upfront on their CUDA and has done a great job on publicizing and actually living up to the expectations of the consumers...

check this and this will show linux support is very much present in case of ati-
ATI Catalyst? Proprietary Display Driver

Frnz,plz have look at this thread
Nvidia GTX460 Discussion

BTW, i'll suggest change the PSU. GTX460 maybe cool running but is also a heavy on power card. invest in a Corsair VX450W. just a fraction of the price of the card to ensure its safety.

@ All, do I really need to change my PSU?
What shud I go for? VX 450/VX 550/CM GX 550/Seasonic S12L 500 ????

Plz comment

AMD is biased more towards gaming nowadays. it would have been great if they improve their Avivo & steam drivers atleast to compete with Nvidia cards. sad of it. maybe they'll improve with 6-series. someone told it right, "in this world nothing is perfect"

& CUDA is one strong reason for the selling point of a "old" card. here i pointing to GTS250 (old cause DX10). all its competitors from ATI have already been replaced by 57** cards. but still GTS250 sells as good as HD57** cards. kudos to Nvidia.

its kinda sad to see that ati lost out to CUDA only coz...they didnt do a god marketing and publicity....of their vid encoding technologies....
i agree in termes of performance comparision ati would have lost out to nvidia...but boasting of ur skiils is never a letdown....they would have catered to all kinds of masses then.....still me an amd fan....and will be for always...

and CUDA is definitely a seller point of the nvidia cards....esp in the mobile sector(the laptop market i mean)....

@mukerjee....
yeah i am interested to post in the gtx 460 thread.....i know its been quite a a discussion there....but i am gathering up info on the fermi architecture these days so cant post till i am fully equipped u see?

and the from the psu options the CX looks good....but ...why not look at something with more wattage.....though i know gtx 460 is low on power requirement...but still going for a little more doesn't hurt....till then cx 450w looks fine..

Strangely Enough, in this month issue of Digit, they have given Graphics Card Reviews but they have not included a single MSI card, all other cards are there in their list.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^ May be MSI has not send them any but have you purchased your Twin Frozr - if so what's the price ??

@ borax12 - I know ATI has linux drivers though they have many issues on the contrary nvidia has really good linux drivers though I think ATI will improve with time anyway

BTW, it's corsair VX450 there's no CX450W only CX400

@ Sam.Shab please make a correction in your post - GTS 250 ie 9800GTX+ is based on Dx10 not DX 10.1

@ mukherjee - posted comments - infos and suggestions on your created GTX 460 thread

Nope but the price on theitwares.com is Rs. 7,900 + Shipping Rs. 100 = Rs. 8,000

you may OC the card by ~10-15% (core only) & you'll get some real performance out of it.

310 is good

It's Not A Radeon HD 5970. It's A Radeon HD 5870 X2 : Asus ARES: Is This The One Graphics Card To Rule Them All?

it costs 1200$
so expect it to be around 67k in india
it is a very CHEAP graphics card
i will BUY TWO of them(and crossfire) to keep me warm in winter

ahhh 5870x2x2 is more power efficient than all the room heaters available in market
it needs just 1500w(750Wx2) of power!!!

maybe i will buy a nuclear reactor too!!

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^ think green - buy a solar panel instead and save the planet - it will be cheap and pollution free as well

Nope but the price on theitwares.com is Rs. 7,900 + Shipping Rs. 100 = Rs. 8,000

Thanks for the info.

will badaboom work on ATI Cards.....

No, certainly not - it's made to use with only cuda supported nvidia gpus

If you spend 2.7k then consider getting CM elite 430 and for 2k NZXT Gamma is also a good option as well
