Thread: 1Gb DDR3 Sapphire ATI RADEON HD4850X2 at BP 500 watts

want to buy a graphics card 1Gb DDR-3 Sapphire ATI RADEON HD4850X2, but there are some doubts about the adequacy of the power of my power supply.

now stands AcBel API4PC23 500W, it feeds two graphics cards 512Mb DDR-3 Palit GeForce 8600GTS, included in the SLI, Athlon X2 processor 5600 + ADA, the mother of ASUSTeK M2N32-SLI Deluxe SocketAM2 nForce590 SLI, 4 bars to 1 GB of RAM, two screws at 250 GB One drive and sound card. criticism on the stability of this configuration is not - check the different games in two years of active use.

HD4850X2 is written in the description that the power consumption of this card is 267 watts; with my current 8600GTS is not less than 150 watts for each (most likely).
should I buy a new power supply (650 watts), or leave it?

but is it worth buying ATI video card, old chipset from nVidia? loss of productivity may be present, observed 650 chipset, and 4870 ..... may be to buy a 275 would be much more interesting .

For this card, one hard disk, a DVD-RW that power supply will be sufficient, we can say that the butt.
The website producer card compatible with the motherboard. And urges that the cooling system, fans at the injection and Blowing (if not).


I simply warned or alerted or just gave birth to think 8400, 2, 2 6400, 500g WD black, gigabyte 650 sli + 4870 so for the interest ... check showed some results replace the mother for 48 chipset showed different results is much higher . when you use a nVidia result has not changed ... and the mother can be bought with one slot, not three .

Going to buy this graphics card, it was TC in my opinion has a much better ratio of price / performance than the card from nvidia. difference in the 2-3 thousand for me is essential, especially in the current is not easy financially, while happy to be chosen is nvidia. seems to have purchased a power supply at 650 watts ... the mother will not change. I'm very pleased with and without glitches (not counting of course the sound built soundcard).

whereas there was no better than to indicate that configuration, but not limited to reference only one chipset? But still it would be better with specific models, but in any case it would not be the answer to the question as far as I noticed on the configuration, the author applies the theme to upgrade fairly prudent not to spend money for nothing. This configuration for the computer game "aging eyes" and the last step to upgrade its video card only, which, in turn, move to a new computer (as it appears), and if the person seems acceptable that video, it is better to take with parent charge with a large number of PCI-E16x slots than 1 - that would be able to upgrade over time, only adding (4850, 4870, 4850h2, 4870h2 because technology CrossFireX does not require 100% identity cards).

If the mother is under SLI, then you can put a second 275 .... at a price they are the same, and the performance is not worse than 275. 2Gb_PCIE_DDR3_Sapphire_ATI_RADEON_HD4850X2_Crossfi re_81443.html 9500r ASUS_ENGTX275_HTDI_896MD3_GeForce_GTX275_86068.htm l 9000 s. 1Gb <PCI-E> DDR-3 Sapphire <ATI RADEON HD4850X2> 8500r I do not impose .... buy, will definitely not bad ... the main thing that would fit into the shell.

And about that, then the second place, so you would Moonk, unit assistants would recommend, rather than 650 watts ..

Well, so far at the "next" does not make sense to recommend, by the time the power supply can burn, you may be able to take much more power and more than a new format (ATH5.0 any) for the same money, the Chinese can cross the border and troops 2 - 3 million soldiers to move to the Moscow Ring Road, the Moon can fall to the ground.

Adding a second graphics card - it is about a completely different computer.Wow! Well if you do not take into account the price, then at least processor for a couple, and again this is a completely different computer and then do not miss the most important when choosing: to put in the long run at the manufacturer's graphics cards and chipsets, or producer of the video cards, chipsets, processors, - but this is probably the philosophy.

About another computer that you are talking, as well as your long afterwards, and then will be one card which undelete these two and even three ... 4850h2 and buying power to the people spend more money than a 275 of his power to pull ... moonk actually, as we argue, buy it .

Thanks of course for the council, but not in the wires ... the very sound I do not like.
since it came on the compatibility is not possible (to achieve maximum results) of ati graphics cards and chipsets from nvidia, picked up a 1Gb Leadtek GTX285-Fan. again hints at a possible upgrade by connecting the second card. 275 card a bit dubious because of no standard size of memory (869 mb) and the bit of the tire (448-bit) ... In my humble opinion, is better saved for the purchase of a powerful power supply money to buy a more efficient map, not opportunistic 4850h2 test.
I think its my power supply drawn.

Wow! Begins with one, and finished quite different . It's in memory and bit bus no.
The power supply is enough, but do not expect matching their outcomes with the tests, which compared - they will be less and that's OK, because for such a card would not be sufficient productivity ligament-processor motherboard. Excellent choice for affordable, if not beats.
