[kartikoli]

i will game on 1900*xxx resolution when i get my 5850 [just going to finalize the deal]

the question i want to ask is will it make any difference pairing it with my 785chipset mobo. [HD4250 IGP] or it will be just GPU powered

my rig small discription

dell 22' LED
phenom 555BE [unlocked to quad @ stock]
Corsair HX750

Why you are considering HD5850??Its old generation cards.BTW. whats your budget??
There's lot better card than 5850 exists in newer generation.

no it wont make a difference and if ur motherboard supports hybrid crossfireX then there will be a decent 5% to 10% performance improvement in the graphics
hope it helps

i personal suggest u a 5970 it will be way faster then the 5850 and except for the bandwidth(u can overclock and have a better bandwidth) the card is faster then the 6990.
u should have a look at this
whats ur budget ??????????

 

[kartikoli]

getting used 5850 for 8.5k for 6~7 months only

will upgrade to 7 series or 6950 after 7 series get settled

hybrid cfx is with low end gpus.

and how come 5970 is faster than 6990? even a GTX580 beats it in some cases!

you can get a new HD6850 for 9k The 5850 is slightly faster...but wont be that noticible. Also you get a new card + lesser power draw + other tweaks

^^+1
since OP would be upgrading after 6 months or so
then 6850 would be good option
less power consumption,other added features,etc....

Hybrid crossfirex with integrated chipset gpu onky works with low end discrete gpu's like hd 4350, hd 5450 etc.

Anything above and more powerful than these...only the discrete gpu will work.

ok got the point [thanks every one for support]

how much should i quote for sappire 5850? [2 month old] .... getting it @ 8.2k

how much price diff. should i look for not considering 6850 @ 9k

Thanx guy i was not aware of that hybrid thing as i have not tried it on my own as for this

5970 just has a lower bandwidth(25% lesser)but it kill the 6990 in Texel Rate and Pixel Rate
for better understanding have a look at Radeon HD 5970 vs Radeon HD 6990 – Performance Comparison Benchmarks @ Hardware Compare
6850 is also a pretty decent card i guess go on with it

so how does it matter? look at gaming benchmarks at anandtech, toms hardware, hardocp, guru3d etc.
in games 6990 is much ahead and thats what we need!!
eg - AnandTech - AMD's Radeon HD 6990: The New Single Card King

^^yes at the end of the day the fps is what matters most

the texture fill rate in my old 9800Gt was 35.2Gt/s and my new gts450 is 22.7 but it performs way better than the 9800
the main deciding factors in a Gpu are to total no of SP, Rop's & the memory bus width & type correct me if i am wrong

leave all that jargon. just see reviews

u did't get me i meant that numbers can be misleading sometimes

 

[Tarun]

i do agree with u its not ALWAYS that the theory matter
