Get a better PSU like Cooler Master 600W or 500W. Make sure that it will fit in your cabinet. your 400W will not be able to run HD4850 properly.

Get Sapphire/Palit/XpertVision card. costs 11k for Sapphire but is the best.

U just need to change SMPS to 500W

Make sure u buy 4850 for less than 9.5k

Because i asked my local dealer he said it costed 12k
but at lynx india i took it for 9.5k (xpertvision)

go for palit its cheap yet quality wise good and u will not regret it ...not problem with high temps or fan noise ...depending upon where u live and when u buy it it should be near 9.2k to 9.5k ...

Personal opinion...its better than sapphire!

 

[george101]

please ask the local dealer if they will be able to give the warranty for palit brand purchased from itwares or lynx ...cos i know for sure that kolkata vendors and vendors at my place refuse to provide warranty ....but if vendors at ur place give it ...its the best bet u can get !!

but i suggest u buy it from tirupati (it might be little costly ..might cost u 9.7k).....or some shop which deals with tirupati ...(cos then it could squeeze the best deal for u and u could it for the price ...u will pay to get it from itwares ..that is 9.35k including shipping )

Get Sapphire/Palit/XpertVision card. costs 11k for Sapphire but is the best.

i disagree with sapphire being best ....it oldest ATI partner so has biggest name ...as for as HD4850 goes palit gives the latest BIOS,which sapphire doesn't still.... the new latest BIOS with which all the Palit/xpertvision cards are coming,solves the problem of card running of high temperature and fan noise ...all Palit cards run cool idling @ 45~49 deg and 67~70 deg for full load,and with no noise atall ....

about sapphire ..atleast in india they are still selling the model with old BIOS so
beware buyers ...please buy the card with latest manufacturing date.

my dear friend Xpertvision HD4850 @lynx will cost u about 9.4 with 4% VAT and shipping ....and at itwares the palit one will cost u 9200 + 170 (atleast for shipping) ~ 9.k with shipping...

always look for the final price u will buy it...when looking closely it makes 500/- difference which could matter for a person like me ...atleast.

yes they deal in palit ...i m not sure they deal with coolermaster ...but they deal in ,corsair,OCZ,[SIZE=+1]thermaltake, and tagan which are very good but expensive PSU brands

please look around and see if u can find a coolermaster locally ...

when u give them a call ask if they have coolermaster ...if they have it ...then well and good ..but they have corsair ...

[toofan]

xpertvision is another branch or sister concern of Palit. I got this information from this forum. Search you will find it.

which is better??? gecube or palit or xpertvision???

all of them are of reference design ...and Xpervision and palit are the same cos Xpertvision is the division of palit which sales in Europe...so its a brand name of palit in europe.

gecube is also good and it will look the same as palit and perform the same too and since u want cheapest HD4850 ...so whichever u get cheapest buy that ..just keep in mind the manufacturing date buy the one with latest manufacturing date preferably aug 2008 ...and u will not run into any problem of running ur gpu hot or noise ...

 

[Psychosocial]

Go for GeCube, better customer support than Palit.

 

[george101]

is it ok to for CM EP500W???? which others options do i have???
