Graphics Cards related queries here.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

guys, this is a GPU thread, don't talk about studies. i hated school and ya CHEMISTRY tooo.
by the way I am narrowing down two GPU's
check out the Specs:
Sapphire Radeon HD 5850 Toxic OC Edition Review Page 5 - Specifications & Features - Overclockers Club
AMD 6800 Series Review Page 6 - Specifications & Features - Overclockers Club

And tell me if their are any other manufac's for 6870 other than sapphire and MSi and which one is better also

Most probably sapphire seems to be better than msi until n unless its hawk
But wait for other members to give their opinions

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^ sapphire cards dont have voltage control so they OC less than others like msi and asus.
f you dont oc, then sapphire vapor-x cards are better in cooling and noise.
though the 5850 is such a cool chip that even with stock cooling, the card runs comparatively cool. so id say, just choose the cheaper brand with the best warranty.

Reference cards from both the brands have voltage control via software. Most custom design cards dont.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Yep, but some high-end kind ships with additional hardware voltage chip so that they can OC better - in this type of gfx card we can even push more voltage for increased OC but the only catch is we have keep monitoring the temps carefully.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Hi,

Please suggest a good graphic card.My budget is 10K.I have an AMD phenom x6 1055,MSI 880 GMA E41, Corsair 8 GB running at 1333 Mhz and cooler master GX 550 W.


Thanks
Shalabh

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

if you can stretch your budget by 2k, you can easily get a zotac gtx 460 (1gb) or sapphire radeon hd 6850.
else, you get the ati radeon hd 5770 for around 9k.
nvidia's only option under 10k (gt400 series) for you is gts 450 but not recommended.
and oh, you also can get the gtx 460 768mb for around 11k.
but its performance is lesser than that of gtx460 1gb.

@rawgeek - with super64!!Seems to b d way to go for ya!!

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

MSI HD5770-8.4k
MSI HD5770 hawk-8.9k

zotac GTX 460 (768mb)-10.8k
zotac GTX 460 1gb-12.3k

don't suggest gtx460.768mb if he is using beyond 1600by1200 res.it gets worse even than hd5750.

i will suggest WAIT

i agree with ur idea

but what do u mean by this:"it gets worse even than hd5750."
is 460 not a better performer than 5750?

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

and AMD in trouble developing bios or drivers or problem with tsmc>delaying>not in november>nvidia announcing gtx580 today or tomorrow>its i win 2 nvidia i think.

Even I hv the same question as piyush!!

WAT!!!Dude how abt expressin in words...cudn't get anythin after "...tsmc"..n BTW wats "tsmc"?

in higher resolution due to low vram it can't handle higher resolution specially with eyecandy enabled.now a days we use high res. so i think it doesn't worth its price.

yea this is true fact
but what i'm asking is that u somewhat stated that 5750 is better than 460
it looks like this after reading ur comment

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^you can have gtx460 @ 11.5k..but HD6850 is also available at 11.2 k making it a better choice!

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^tsmc is the industry supplying 40nm fabrics to amd & partially to nvidia.(if anything wrong plz correct me).

piyush120290,i said it gets worse even than....not is worse than!!!i said it after writing"if he use beyond 1600by1200res>>>>doesn't it make clear-its usually better than 5750(a way better) but due to lack in vram it loose in high res.

^you can have gtx460 @ 11.5k..but HD6850 is also available at 11.2 k making it a better choice!

i totally agreeee.it is new gf.card+immature drivers going 2 be mature-better performance+run cool as much as gtX460 with equal or slightly better overclocking headroom+crossfire scaling 195 to 200% in almost all heavy games+improved tessellation technique (not equal 2 gtx460 but comparable).

2 much for hd 6850>>gtx 460 have some + also.cuda,better stereoscopic 3d(wow),physx n last>>more games tweaked for nvidia>but i dont like tweaking 2 a company.

Yep, but some high-end kind ships with additional hardware voltage chip so that they can OC better - in this type of gfx card we can even push more voltage for increased OC but the only catch is we have keep monitoring the temps carefully.

my gigabyte hd5770 doesn't allow voltage tweak with msiafterburner2.0.0 or even with latest version.can i increase voltage by flashing or modifying bios.if yes then will it dismiss warranty anyway.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

BTW wats "tsmc"?

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company. makes the GPU for AMD & Nvidia. also many more chips for other fabless (companies designing chips only) semiconductor companies. AMD will produce their 2011 mobile chips here. but heard may shift their 28nm GPU to GF (not girlfriend , Global Foundries)

^^tsmc is the industry supplying 40nm fabrics to amd & partially to nvidia.(if anything wrong plz correct me).

not partially. fully. i don't think Nvidia have their own Fab. so they rely fully on TSMC for their chips (if TSMC's yield less, GPU prices goes up).

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

nVidia is fabless. Correct.

sorry.but it can express opinions.man,its neither algebra equity-maintaining forum nor math-solving forum,that i have 2 follow algebric rules.here,mathgggurus can float around not wishing that their alzebric laws isn't being broken.btw,do u mind using ur(a legend algebrologist 2 be honored) symbols in a non-algebric purpose.yep,its a bit uneasy 2read.i will not use them like again.

i said partially,bcoz,it is also supplied by Global Foundries(i'm not so sure-is it correct).is GF ready 2 produce 28nm fab?
has intel its own fab?has amd its own fab in cpu line?does gpufab differ from cpu's?
