no diff between HDMI and DVI. DVI + Sound = HDMI.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

have you updated your mobo bios with the latest one available. What PSU do you have ? If you still want to go with 9800GT here's your choices : MSI or Zotac.

Havent updated my bios but please can you confirm that on updating bios ATI cards can work on M2N-MX. First I was really eager about HD5670 before my friends told me about the compatiability problem. Tried ASUS forum but got no replies.
Again I would be really thankful if anyone can confirm, if on updating my bios, i can run ATI cards on my mobo.

If you can use HDMI to HDMI.

no diff between HDMI and DVI. DVI + Sound = HDMI.

DVI to HDMI "usually" ( but not always ) can't carry audio signal but HDMI to HDMI can always carry audio signal along with video.

While DVI is pin-compatible with HDMI, DVI does not support audio while HDMI does

Some ATI and NVIDIA video cards with DVI outputs offer HDMI audio output, though this is done using the DVI connector pins in a non-standard way, using a special custom DVI to HDMI adapter to route the audio out to the HDMI on the correct pins.

Here's the Bios download page of your mobo :

I've heard that some ATI 5xxx series card with PCI-E x16 2.1 interface has compatibility prob with OLD Nforce chipset mobos which use PCI-E 1.0 x16 interface. But look at here :

This guy here used a ASUS M2N-MX SE PLUS with a Powercolor HD5670.

I guess i should have written it as HDMI = DVI + Sound.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

@ Chimu... I own a Asus P5QPL-AM mobo...and I recently bought Sapphire HD5670 1 Gb...its working fine for me...never heard of the compatibility issue u r talking about...

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Hey guys can you please tell me a benchmark price for sapphire (or any other company, plz specify which ) HD 6870 in mumbai lamington road ...

I think the guy I was gonna buy from is asking much more than the market price ...

He didn`t have HD6870 , so he qouted me ASUS HD6850 @ 12.5k ..
On the net I saw Sapphire 6850 @ 11.2k ...

Please let me know the price at best of ur knowledge ....

Nothing beats it when it comes to medium end gaming. VFM at 5k.
It can run most games at high on a 20" or less.

@ vizkid
between 11k and 12k is the standard price.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

will amd 6850 with core i5 760 and 2 gb ddr 3 ram will be able to produce playable frame rates at hd resolution for crysis engine based games.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Yes it can. But for an extra boost, you can overclock tour GPu a little. HD 6850 is a hell of a overclocker.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

In Kolkata ,shops hardly keep GPUs from manufacturers other than XFX , when i asked for a Sapphire 5670 , they insisted XFX is better.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^
Neck to neck with 480 in Metro33, Bad Company 2
Beats it in Lost Planet 2, Alien Vs Predator, Dirt2
Loses to it in Just Cause 2 upto 1080p.
Way less power consumption. Less noise
looks to be around 17 - 18k


Waiting for AMD

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^ wanted to know how they match with 2x460.

check at guru3d. how much they gained in bf2 by oc.
by increasing core by 68Mhz and memory by 700Mhz(effective), it gains 8 fps at 1920x1080. thats a very good gain by a simple OC.
so the newish architecture gains a lot by OC.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^
460 is slightly better in performance than 570, but 570 would be better as it is single.

As 570 looks like a optimized rebranded 480.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^guys at anandtech are just a bit meh with 570. at least that was the impression i got.
