Graphics Cards related queries here.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

damn... why cant they make things simpler... now that i've read all this jargon here, im like "to buy, or not to buy, that is the question"
ughhh... that means if i go for an 8800gts 320mb, i'l hvta spend on a decent psu as well... which will cost me an upwards of 3k... damnnn...
what if the psu doesnt have a 6pin connector? i can get the converter from nehru place or sumthn naa?
and will my card actually burn out or blow up if the psu doesnt give it enough power? cause that sounds a tad far fetched... cause if sumthn doesnt get enough power, it doesnt work...?
gaaah... help me out someone... gimme a budget psu which would be alright to run the darn card safely... cause i'd hate to go in for a 7950gt while the 8 series is riding high...

Cooler master 600watt(real watt 560).Has one 6 pin pci-express power connector.Should be suffice ur needs.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

@harvy in the website of coolermaster i think it says its 4 pin not 6pin
could u elaborate which model by going to the cooler master site properly

The cooler master 600w is an ATX 20+4 pin(24 pin for ATX and 20 pin for micro ATX)power supply u can detach the 4 pins if u want to connect it to a micro ATX power supply.I think it was the detachable 4 pins u were talking about.To confirm that it has a 1 pci-express 6 pin power connector follow this link-
*hi-techreviews.com/reviews_2006/CMPSU/P1.htm

This power supply is not modular.That means u cannot disconnect the wires u don't need.Check out the full review from the above link.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

ooo ok ya totally iread 20+4 pins thanks for the heads up anyways
but i dont think anytime in the future ill swich to SLI because it has issues beside this single gts would last me 3 years

Asus does not have any motherboards based on the 650i ultra chipset(its non sli).But XFX has one-
*www.xfxforce.com/web/product/listC...+nForce+650i&seriesId=989307&productId=989811

It should be a good overclocker and will be under ur budget.I think it costs R6.5K.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

i believe the features are the same as asus p5ne sli just without the sli right?

woops slash that this is the graphics cards thread sorry
anyways decided to go for asus cuz its better

Can Bioshock run at 1280x800 resolution with all settings cranked up to high in DX10 mode on 8600gt?

@Tech_Genius told me that his 8600Gt gave him 27-30 FPS at 1024*768.But i think his processor(P4 3.0Ghz)bottlenecked the video crad.I have an 8800GTS 640MB and it gives 40 FPS average on 1600*1200 with everything maxed out.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

hey harvy i too have a p4 ht 3.06 ghz im not sure if i would change it
would it too bottleneck the card
and + i just need the resolution of 1280x1024
and ya id get 8800gts 320mb

 

[deathvirus_me]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^ I'd be nice if u could oc that CPU .. my friend has P4 HT 3.0 GHz oc'ed to 3.6 GHz and it reduces the bottleneck by quite a bit .. even with a 7900GTX ...

i checked out the sites.nice info.thnx a lot..bt the problem is still there.
there are two pci-e ports in corsair hx 620 watt,all 6 pins.now,with that converter,it converts two molex connectors to 1 pci-e.it means,the psus those do not have a 6 pin pci-e port can power the pci-e gfx card via addition of two molex ports in the psu,am i rite?
bt my card has only 4 pins that requires a molex connector.
so if i connect the 6 pin pci-e connector to psu and one of the molexes in my gfx card,i am not sure my purpose will be served or not

Sorry for the wrong reply,i didn't pay attention.Have u tried connecting the psu's molex connector to the video card.Do it,it won't harm the video card and check if low power warning is received.

I think ur card is somewhat like this 7900GT from gigabyte.

This is a 7900GT which requires a molex connector.

Well pentium 4 is unstable when u increase the FSB.U'll have to increase the multiplier to get a higher clock.Also u'll have to do it through bios.The FSB is the real clock of the processor and the multiplier is the number of instructions that can be processed per clock cycle.So if ur processor has a multiplier of 9 then ur processor FSB or real speed is 333.333Mhz(FSB*Multipler=Theoretical clock,9*333.33=3.0Ghz).Ur new mobo will support extensive overclocking.Be careful though.

right click on your desktop, go to properties, select the Settings tab, click on the "Advanced" button, now the monitor and display adaptor properties will open up in a new dialog... click on the Monitor tab, and untick "Hide Modes that my monitor cannot display"
that'd open a whole lotta resolutions...
