Re: The Graphic Card Advisor
guys for any gfx card recommendation dont forget to mention these 4 things
1.cpu
2.ram
3.psu
4.budget
they are very essential cos if these items dont meet the requirements for the card then its pointless upgrading...
for example there is no point buying a 4850 for a single core system p4 system with say 1gb ram....

Dont forget the resolution at which you game at..

Re: The Graphic Card Advisor
Yes i will be getting gigabyte. Many are suggesting that CPU will bottleneck.:huh:
ragzdiablo said:No it wont bottleneck..
a card like HD4850 is mainly bottlenecked by CPUs like Pentium D..
Make sure you get a minimum of gigabyte superb 460w PSU to run the card..

Re: The Graphic Card Advisor
I can't upgrade the CPU. Should i anyway buy 4850 or shall i downgrade the GPU?

Re: The Graphic Card Advisor
9400 for gaming ? Really ?
I would recommend nothing less than a 9800gt. The rest of your pc is (cha..genius) is awesome why buy some half assed htpc card.
If you have 10k 5770 (around 11.5) is not so bad maybe after 6 months price of that will be like 7k , so all you are going to save is around 4-5 its not really worth it.

Re: The Graphic Card Advisor
Please, If someone is going with a 9400gt..please try to understand the budget restriction..
and the need also..
You cannot suggest a guy HD5770 who has a budget only of 2.5k and wants a temporary card and that too not for gaming.
SO, please see before you text in your comments.

Yes, it is always advisable to wait for a new series.

Re: The Graphic Card Advisor
You posted this without even seeing the previous replies..
the guy wants a DX11 card and wants to wait till nvidia launches its series..
so for the time being he wants a low budget card(the cheapest infact)..
and you are suggesting him the HD 5770..
nice..

Re: The Graphic Card Advisor
Yes, you are right.
there will be bottlenecking..
Got confused by E6400:huh::huh:
But a HD4850 is still recommended if you are planning on an upgrade of CPU later on....

Re: The Graphic Card Advisor
I am not planning on a cpu upgrade in the near future. I thought of using 4850 with my current setup for 1 year and then upgrade the entire rig along with the gpu :hap2:. Anyway 4850 is only 2k more than 9600gt will i be wasting money if i choose to buy 4850 instead of 9600gt. Also will the bottleneck lead to 4850 functioning similar to 9600gt or is it only the full potential of 4850 can't be achieved.
my question is simple
how much will the perfomance reduction be if i use 4850 with e6300 and q6600 ?
and
Is the performance of 4850 and 9600gt with e6300 will be the same? :huh:

Re: The Graphic Card Advisor
the answer is not simple as it seems
the performance varies from games to games i mean
some games will perform better on 4850 marginally or more some will perform similar to 9600gt whereas some will perform worse than 9600gt
u get weird performance results if ur system is not balanced...
a note to say
i had x2 5200(2.6ghz) with 9800gt few months back just to check performance loss at lesser clock i lowered the multi to 10 (2ghz clock) and what's said above is wht i observed.....i checked it with some 12 games

Re: The Graphic Card Advisor
It is very difficult to say that..
it will depend and many things and it cannot be calculated by how much amount the bottleneck will be there..
I used to run a 9600gt with a Pentium D..later moved on to X2 550..
the change was drastic.
