Not sure how good PowerColor is but check the prices of it's ATI range. Terrific, totally terrific.

PowerColor is good. I am using 2 of their 4890s....good make. All is fine. Only facing an issue with CCC..trying to resolve that..!

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

cool, in that case HD4870 for 9.3k will be terrific deal.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Hey I searched for HD 4850...any site offering to sell it???
Also, what is the next best card???
(Around 5.5-6K)

Also, will I need to change my psu or 450W is enough??

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

for 6k, it's 9800GT but for 6.5k-7.5k you can get HD4850 or GTS250. Both are more or less the same. so, get the cheaper one among HD4850 and GTS250.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Dude, GTS250 consumes 140W of power, that's HD4890 level.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

I have a 450w PSU of a local(i don't know actually) co. X-tech....
The ques. is would that be enough to operate a 4850hd or GTS 250?
What is the power consumed by either of them?

@topgear
Thanks for the information. Which info did you use to conclude that?
I am actually relieved that it won't be necessary to change my PSU I am planning to buy Sapphire HD4670 (slightly tight on budget and I am casual gamer). If I am not wrong (I have searched the forum and the web), it will work with 450W PSU, right?

Just multiply volt with ampere & you will get watt
Now add all those watts & you will get the total rating
BTW, your PSU can deliver around 420W according to the calculation but
it is rated as 450W

BTW, though a HD4670 may work I will suggest you to go for a psu which can deliver atleast 19A on the +12V rail to be on safe side. You can look out for Colorsit 450W PSU Rs.1K or zebronics Platinum 500W Rs. 1.5K

HD4670 consumes about 60W. BTW, what is your hardware config. Post in details.

1.

Hybrid SLI® technology, based on NVIDIA’s industry-leading SLI technology, delivers multi-GPU (graphics processing unit) benefits when an NVIDIA® motherboard GPU is combined with an NVIDIA discrete GPU. Hybrid SLI increases graphics performance with GeForce® Boost and provides intelligent power management with HybridPower™.

Yes. But you will need a compatible mobo & gfx card.

No. Get corsair VX450W instead ( Rs. 4K )

HD4850 & GTS 250 consumes around 110-120W under load ( GPU power consumption not the whole rig )

Will zotac 9300 and gtx250 do the trick?


2. No. Get corsair VX450W instead ( Rs. 4K )

Whats the diff.?

Meaning...4890 level..?

But does not this chart tells something different

*media.bestofmicro.com/9/Z/181799/original/image028.png

But the truth is a HD4850 consumes 110W & a 9800GTX+ consumes 117W & the GTS250 is nothing than a tweaked 9800GTX+ so a GTS 250 consumes same power as a 9800GTX+ & the above chart also shows only 1W different under load

Corsair VX450W is far more better than a generic 450W psu. High cards needs a lot of power so they draws it through the +12V rail but a generic PSu
delivers very poor power through +12V rail as there ampere rating is not much & the component used is also inferior.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Invest in a good PSU..you will thank yourself down the line. It is very very critical to the system...specially when mounting power-GPUs..!

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

@topgear
Thanks for your info. I was not aware of how to calculate rating.
My config is:
AMD Athlon X2 5200+
Asus 690G M2A-VM motherboard
2 x 160 GB Seagate HDD (One SATA and other PATA)
1 DVD-RAM drive (PATA)

so r u recomending powercolor HD4850 ? one more thing why sapphire's price is high than power color

 

[desiibond]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

hmm. maybe because of better components and support. As I have not checked powercolor, I can't say. But I heard that Palit cards have higher failure rate when compared to Sapphire, XFX and EVGA
