Broken In
Hi Guys. Finally got the replacement card. Got a Sapphire HD 6850 which costs 11,300 so got back 200 bucks. Spent a lot more on petrol going and coming quite a few times. Good news is card Works. Hopefully will last for quite a few years.
The reviews i read online say that this card comes with a HDMI cable but there was none in the box. Sapphire site says the cable comes with "Full Retail SKU" only.
Tried Mafia II again. Benchmark gives an Avg of 47fps at MAX settings @ 1920x1080. I hope thats not too bad.
Final System Details:
CPU : Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550
Mbd : Gigabyte G41M-Combo
Ram : 2+2 GB Samsung DDR2 800MHz running in Dual Channel
Gfx : Sapphire Radeon HD 6850
Hard Disks : WD Cavair Blue 500GB + Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm 250GB + Seagate Barracuda IDE 160GB
Optical : LG Sata DVD-R/W
CPU Cooler : Cooler Master Hyper 212+
PSU : Corsair vx550
Cabinet : NZXT Gamma + Front cooler master 120mm LED fan (a little noisy)
Monitor : BenQ G2420 (connected through DVI but run @ 1280x720
)
Key+Mouse : Logitech Wireless Combo
Gamepad : Microsoft XBox 360 Wired
Speakers : 2 x Creative Inspire 2.1 (ie. A 4.2 speaker config running in Quad Channel Mode)
I guess that covers it
The system is more or less quiet, just that the front fan humming at full speed is a little noisy (ie when 12V are supplied to it) but not too much. Found out that forcefully plugging the molex cable other way around (so that it gives 5V) runs the fan quiet though slow. For now left it the correct way @ 12v.
THANKS A LOT GUYS FOR THE HELP
