Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

you can buy Palit 9800 GT at RS 6200 or u can buy 9600 GSO at RS 5000(not sure abt price of GSO) but 8400 sucks, don't waste ur money.8800 GT is damm good but i don't think it is in ur budget.

GTX 275 consumes 93 watt more on load and 30 watt extra on idle when compared with 4890 and the performance gains are not big ..... plus i don't think ur psu can handle it . XFX GTX 275 is priced at 17 k on lynx while 4890 is near 13k so make ur choice .

Yes they can, but look for an overclocked model if available, otherwise 8600 GT is good, i used it for more than one year and here r some desi benchmarks
STALKER shadow....... all settings high, dynamic lightning disabled 1440X900 50 FPS
CALL OF DUTY 4 all settings high 1024X768 40_50 fps and
Orange box at high 40_50 fps

@GrimReaper, 8800GT 8600GT and 2600XT are very old cards. if you are not a serious gamer, look for HD4670 for 4.5k and add a good PSU for the remaining amount.

Yes..I know that. Though thanks for the suggestion. I am planning to get the exact same quad (Q9550) you have suggested.

The only reason I am not doing so right now, do not have time, to dismantle the system, and mount the new CPU. But yes, the Q9550 will definately open up the Xfire.

yes Q9550 or Phenom 2 940 is powerful processors to handle Crossfire of HD 4870X2


BTW r u using TX650 for HD4890 crossfire both the cards

Yes, am using the TX650 for both the cards. It is supporting XFire fine. Stressed it over night, on extreme burn mode for FUR MARK.

The set up is like THIS.

Not much load on the Molex rails, kept them free for the GPU power servicing..!

At load I should be hitting ~560-570W, so am safe. :)

Though regarding the processor upgrade. If I go for a Q9550 I am almost in the i7 league...not sure what to do. How would an E8400 do the job, its supposed to be a good C2D..? Any other Quads cheaper..?

@asigh

E8400 will be OK, but upgrading from C2D to C2D is pointless. So better get a entry-level Quad like Q8200(45nm) or Q6600(65nm) and OC them to unleash their power. It wont let you down.

btw, isn't Dual HD4850 better than dual HD4870???
Click to expand...

Should not be. HD4870 is a higher card, with GDDR5 vs HD4850 -- GDDR3. HD4870 has more processing power, but yes, the system would be power hungry.

From what i saw Xfire of HD4850 is almost close to HD4870 512MB Xfire

HD 4870 1GB crossfire is far more better than HD 4850
Click to expand...

Of course yes. HD4870 is a higher grade card, in Xfire will beat the HD4850.

^^okay. and will it be worth the 6k-7k price difference?

Depends. Moving to multi-GPU systems, lots of parameters come into play.

1. PSU.
2. Heat.
3. Game scaling.
4. Price (of course) :)
5. Processor power

If you can get a 'second' card for 6k-7k, and your PSU/UPS /CPU will support, move to XFire then. You can get a good boost of >30%-40% depending on the situation.

In 512MB category HD 4850 crossfire keeps the hands down with HD 4870 512MB

HD 4870 512MB is not good as like HD 4870 1GB

HD 4850 1GB DDR3 almost equals the performance to HD 4870 512MB
