Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.

400w would be fine but to be on the safe side go with 500w.

Go for the 5670 or atleast a 4670.. U will get crappy fps with any game with a 5450.

Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.

Try to get anyone of these :
-Sapphire HD 5570 1GB DDR3 @ 3500
-Sapphire HD 4670 1GB DDR3 @ 3700

Or the cheap ones
-Sapphire HD 6450 1GB GDDR3 @ 2700
-Zotac GTX 520 1GB GDDR3 @ 2900


*Sapphire HD 5670 1GB GDDR5 @ 4800 (Recommended)

does 6770 have a lower power consumption as compared to 5770?

Highly unlikely
6770 is a 5770 rebadge
everything is expected to be the same as its predecessor

Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.

both have same TDP @ 108W.

Yup, just a revised edition

But I think the 6770 should be slightly better than the latter in overall gaming performance.

5770=6770
except for udv3 and hdmi1.4 and probably slightly higher base clocks.

to all the gtx580 owners:
whats the max/daily OC on your card?

my daily OC is 901/1802/2100 @1.113V

Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.

My cards dont like OCing.Not that I need it.

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon
HD 5770 should perform a small bit faster than the Radeon HD 6770 1GB in general. …

Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.

I am having a question about graphics cards, that you people may find "too stupid".
I thought that this place would be the best to post it so I have posted this here.

I was checking specifications of Sapphire HD 6850, and it said:

500 Watt Power Supply is required.

So, does this mean that the graphics card alone needs 500W power!?? So if 400W power is being used by computer w/o GPU, do I need a 900W GPU?

Most probably the answer will be NO, but then why is 500W written in specifications?
*confued*

Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.

^^ no. you need a psu of wattage close to 500W. the gpu will take around 150W. but a quality 400-450W will work just fine whereas a generic/local 600W may blow up under load.

 

[Extreme Gamer]

Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.

I dont agree with a quality 400-450W will work.

Its life will decrease because it is working beyond spec and efficiency will take a drop.

If a manufacturer recommends minimum 500W then get 550W and be safe.

More than the wattage itself it is the Amperage on the 12V rail available to the GPU which decides whether it is not good enough.

Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.

ACTUALLY it depends on the rest of the system too
what if the person has a high end cpu paired with high performance RAM kit and many HDDs?

Read the part in bold.

+1

that said, most of the quality brands(xfx, seasonic, corsair,antec) do have 85%-90% of their rated power available on the 12V rails.

the cheaper ones are severly over rated and may have less than 60% of the power on the 12V rails.

If a manufacturer recommends minimum 500W then get 550W and be safe.

this is completely wrong.



*tpucdn.com/reviews/MSI/GTX_580_Lightning_Extreme_Edition/images/power_peak.gif
6850 peak power =96W
average max power=88W
furmark power=118W



the recommended PSU is highly overprovisioned as they take into account a standard system that is suitable with the graphic card. nobody will use a 6850 with a 4.0ghz i7-990x CPU.
so taking into consideration a model system ,of which every single component is running at 100% they recommend the PSU. and then they add about 100W to make sure that there isnt any problem in 99.99% cases.
the recommendation is for the complete system, not the card alone.
