hey guys whats the difference between OEM and retail products w.r.t graphic cards ?

 

[hellgate]

^^Dood, you have such a nice rig then why bottleneck it with a 6200TC ? Its a good thing you ordered the Palit HD4850 .

the 6200TC aint even mine.got it from my vendor just to un my pc till i get my new card after i had sold off my 8800GTS 320MB.

@imgame2 getting it from Kolkata for 11.5k.

@Power_user_EX oem (original equipment manufacturer) and retail versions of the same product differ in the contents that r supplied with that product.in the case of gfx cards u'll not get some of the connectors and game dvds if u buy oem (most basic set is included).
while in others like dvd writers,oems dont come box packed.

hope u get the picture.

JUST GOT THE NEW RETAIL SAPPHIRE HD4850 ! \m/

Its the newest model of hd4850 with new cooler for lesser temps and minor PCB changes
for more efficiency !

link : *www.sapphiretech.com/us/products/products_overview.php?gpid=249&grp=3

And to my surprise it was bundled with all sorts of connectors including the crossfire one and a good manual.
Now i'd rather buy sapphire or msi cards the next time and never buy palit ones again!

its a personal choice if u see ..palit card are very cheap performs equal to sapphire card...and just for the connectors which u can get otherwise for 200 bucks everywhere ...i don't understand why is this such a big issue...because many company just increase the price because they bundle all sorts of stuff ....

it depends on individual to choose what he really wants ...if u really wanted cross fire connectors u should have checked it before ...hardly any graphics card from both nvidia and ati sell crossfire or SLI connectors with graphics cards it comes with mobo ...

by the way which mobo u are using to use for crossfire ...did it not come with a x-fire connector ??

 

[hellgate]

also to setup crossfire u need 2 cards.even if ur 1st card didnt come with a CF Bridge,then u just need to make sure that ur 2nd crad comes with 1.most ppl dont setup CrossFireX, so theres not much importance of that CF Bridge.so if u can save a few hundred bucks b y buying ur 1st card which comes only wit accessories necessary to run the card then its better to do so.

 

[darklord]

it really doesnt make any difference which make it is, all the cards are the same since all are made by a single OEM, Sapphire.
Buy Asus, MSI,Gigabyte,Powercolour etc etc.... no difference at all.As long as its the reference card, they are all the same.

 

[abhi_10_20]

a single 4850 itself is a killer card.. i dont see any need for its crossfire companion atleast in the near future

It makes a difference at higher resolutions with maximum detail.Certain new games can even make CF and SLI setups crawl at very high settings.

^^ +1 to that ...

yes specially when we don't even use a 24" monitors .......cos unless untill u have one of that ...putting crossfire will only make 100 fps to 160 fps(all max settings ) ...when we know that >60 fps is more than any game ... (except for crysis)

It makes a difference at higher resolutions with maximum detail.Certain new games can even make CF and SLI setups crawl at very high settings.

but thats the point how many people really have 1900x1200 capable monitors ...??? and don't know what crysis warhead will do even to 4870x2 ..??

 

[demonkingfromhell]

bro i hv the exact same card too!
bought it jus 2de!
its the new pcb with improved cooler by Palit....to take care o heating issues...

as mentiond by others b4 me crossfire connectors generally come wid the mobo....
in any case ,keep an eye out for the bundled crossfire bridge,if and when u buy ur 2nd 4850 for xfire!

btw,could u post a gpuz screenshot of ur gpu plz....plz post the bios revison of ur card too...

get gpuz here... *www.techpowerup.com/downloads/1153/TechPowerUp_GPU-Z_v0.2.7.html

[asingh]

Who is this guy "demonkingfromhell"

Gosh, he really wants to be loud, I have a head ache now..! Not fair, fonts like this should not be available on the interface, totally 100% rude...selfish.

 

[imgame2]

@demonkingfromhell ..first of next time u post something here ..

i hope u do understand that when u ask for help ..u ask it humbly and not by shouting ..font size means the same to print media ..big fonts means loud..

1)u should post it in small fonts ...else it will not be answered from many forum members
2)u should post them in appropriate sections

HD4850 sonic is not yet available in India AFAIK ....and definitely its not available in chennai

HD4850 sonic is factory overclocked card which has the core clock of 685 MHz as against to 625 MHz of plain HD4850 ...

so its a better card .....u either look for sapphire toxic ..and ASUS TOP/512MB HD4850 card which are also factory overclocked model ...but in all certainty not available in chennai ....

Anything other than that is not value for money ...so i don't think a problem in buying HD4850 ...u don't get everything thats manufactured around the world here in india ..and thats the truth and u will have to face it ...

HEY MAN UR SAPPHIRE CARD IS GOOD .. BUT SEE THAT ADVANVED COOLER TOXIC EDITION HAS SAME OLD BIOS ,,, IF U FLASH UR BIOS DOES NOT GIVE U THE SAME AS PALIT HD 4850 .. BECAUSE PALIT IS THE ONE REALLY WORK TO MAKE THEIR BRAND WORK BETTER .. SAPPHIRE HAS ALREADY GOT BIG NAME ... SO DECIDE U TURNED URSELF BLIND

 

[hell_storm2006]

I also didnt get the Crossfire connector. I also have the same card. I also have the Palit version. And it performs like a charm!!!

 

[Psychosocial]

Yup! Palit is the best.

 

[Zangetsu]

@Power_user_EX oem (original equipment manufacturer) and retail versions of the same product differ in the contents that r supplied with that product.in the case of gfx cards u'll not get some of the connectors and game dvds if u buy oem (most basic set is included).

And what abt the price r they same 4 both versions
