Which GFX card to play 1080p???

[dOm1naTOr]

its switch btw
and any powerful card can do it. and sure, a 4850 can let u play games in HD res at med~high for most games.
a 4870 ll be better, if u have the money.

i am playing all the games with HD 4850 @ the 1920 X 1080 resolution

Oh, ok, thanx, so 4850 is enough for me I think.

i have one ques ... can i play 720P videos on intel GMA 950 with E7200 and 2 GB 800 Mhz RAM ???

 

[j1n M@tt]

ya u can, since u hav a decent CPU. 720p HD will be decoded by CPU in this case by GMA950

 

[MetalheadGautham]

I can playback 720p H.264 Hotel California Video on my rig:

Intel Pentium 4 2.66GHz
Hynix 1GB DDR1 400MHz RAM
Intel GMA 900 Graphics.

I have hardly any issues.

 

[dOm1naTOr]

but i doubt if GMA900 can play 1080p. u shud give it a try.

 

[j1n M@tt]

no, it can't play 1080p. I hav tried on my GMA900 + P4 630(3.0GHz) system

i am playing all the games with HD 4850 @ the 1920 X 1080 resolution

512MB version?
Seriously? Is it w/0 AA???

 

[furious_gamer]

^^ Yup, he have a 512MB version...
Not sure abt AA..

 

[comp@ddict]

No it won't don't worry, just game on. E6600 @ 3.4GHz, well I can think of only one game which would cause a bottleneck, CRYSH!T, but if u play at around 16x9 resolution, then the bottleneck disappears.

 

[furious_gamer]

I play games at 1280x1024 with my current 17" CRT and at a max i play at 1440x900 with 19" LCD...So there wont be any bottleneck isn't it?

 

[comp@ddict]

^^Not that I know of, no, you can max at 1680x1050 too. Check PM.^^^^^

How much will be the difference in the performance (while playing hd videos) with 256 MB and 512MB of RAM?

 

[dOm1naTOr]

it wont matter. Vram dun affect HD video playback.
