HD4870 has much more horses vs. a HD4850.

Question about the laptop's graphics.. my cousin got a new VAIO with Core i3 330M and 4 GB with ATI 5650 1 GB.. How is it compared to GT 330 M?

Basically cra$ vs. sh$$. Do not expect much.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

By the look at the specs as your mobo has 1 PCI Express x16 you will be able to use any pci-e x16 gfx card so HD4850 or HD4870 will work...

But their performance will be bottlenecked if you have a slower single core cpu and you will need a good psu like corsair VX450W atleast to run HD4870/50 properly.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Increase your budget to 8k and get a HD 5750 from ATI.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

@a2mn2002

Wait 1 month for price drops....Then go for an ATI HD 5750 or HD5770(if you're lucky) for 7.5-8k.

BTW you did not mention what power supply you have.If the PSU is crap then forget buying these cards.

It will bottleneck the performance of HD4850/4870.

Try to OC the CPU to atleast 2.8 - 3 for HD4870 and 2.6GHz for HD4850 GHz as 2 GHz speed is not enough for HD4850/4870.

BTW, What PSU do you have - Brand name and wattage ??

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

I think HD4850 or better GTS250 is more that enough for E2180@2.0GHz.....

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Got a new benq g2220 monitor. When i play 720p videos it looks great and stunning quality. but when i try to play 1080p HD video which is about 1800kbps bitrate, processor goes to 100% and its playing like frame after frame. My system is 2 years old which runs 15 hrs a day on average. it has E7200 2.53ghz and 2GB RAM with g31m s2l mobo.
Shud i need a gfx card to play HD videos without any hitch? if so 9500GT is enough?
btw i got 1ml thermal paste. i have to apply it though.

9500GT will do fine. Would help if you tell us your budget for the graphic card.

a HD4850/GTS will be bottleneck by a a e2180 running at 2 GHz.

The best he can get for a e2180 @ 2 GHz is a 9800GT

generally oc means altering ( increasing ) the speed of cpu speed, mem speed and sometime you need to put additional voltage for them.

OC can be achieved through bios settings - provided your mobo bios has such options - as yours is a entry level mobo I have doubt about the OC capability of your mobo and the chipset your mobo has is not suitable for OC.

OCing also voids warranty and if done incorrectly can damage components.

See if you can get a cpu like intel e5400 @ 2.7 GHz around 3-3.2K or better e7500 2.83GHz around 5.5-6K - that would be great upgrade .

As your's is entry level mobo I think it will not OC much -

First be sure if your mobo supports those or needs a bios update - check your mobo manufacturers support page for this.

with e5400 you can run a HD4850/GTS 250 and with a e7500 you can run a HD4870 or GTX 260 without any bottle neck.

or you can get a mobo like msi p43 around 3.7K along with a cpu cooler like CM hyper 212+ around 1.7K and OC your existing e2180 to 3-3.2 GHz.

If you don't want to upgrade anything get a 9800GT along with good PSU like Gigabyte Superb 460W @ 2.6K or corsair CX400W @ 3K or sasonic 430W @ 3.2K ( most VFM )
