hi fellas,
i got an intel motherboard, and im thinking of getting a gpu.
i had decided on nvidia's 9400gt, but as my chipset is ati, would that be a problem? i have a free pciex16 slot (that black one with a lever thingy)
details :
Northbridge ATI RS400/RC400/RC410 rev. 01
Southbridge ATI SB400 rev. 80
Mainboard Model D102GGC2
Display adapter 0
Name ATI RADEON XPRESS 200
Memory size 256 MB
note, im only doing this coz my mobo vid does not show red channels, so im just getting a cheap gpu to fix that. price : 2500, nehru place.
if anyone can get me a better deal, i have no problem, but do try to keep it below 3k.
thanks
edit:
will the onboard power be enough? do i need a psu power cable? i got a 400W smps, it came with the cabinet (iball, a sorta curvy design with a handle on the top, sory, forgot the name). i checked on some site, and it tells me i need a minimum 350W smps to run all my hardware(gpu included)
cpu : Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 2.80GHz SmithField
1 tb seagate sata
1 lg optical drive
???
was browsing the asus website and found these 2 variants of amd 6850
EAH6850 DC/2DIS/1GD5 ASUSTeK Computer Inc.
EAH6850 DC/2DIS/1GD5/V2 ASUSTeK Computer Inc.
the only diff i could spot was the "50% off of TriDef® 3D Experience" on the V2
the specs are also the same
is there any substantial diff. between the two??
Yo Gamerz..
I have one issue with my display. When i m playing mafia II or , dirt2 (in dx9) or F1 2010, ( all games at 1920*1080) i see some very light horizontal lines moving upwards from base of monitor . they are very light, and can be seen only upon proper observation( esp. in game menus , and in mafia II, when i am looking at walls ). I dont see these lines in all games, but only in the games which i mentioned above. Issue does not occour on normal desktop usage.
These lines do not occur in battlefield BC2 , SBK 09, or NFS undercover. Is there any problem with my grafix card? Btw, i use normal VGA cable and not DVI cable.
Any help would be appreciated .
cheers !!
Anybody seen the new GFX prices at SMC??
Here it is
Sapphire HD6970 2GB @ 28.5k
Sapphire HD6950 @ 23.5k
The real shocker
MSI N580GTX @28.7k
MSI N570GTX @22k
If this is the case, then nvidia cards become highly recommended over the amd ones on top end segment.
