Hi all,
Anyone had any bad experiences with these?
I've just ordered a Sapphire 1GB HD 4650 because the price was a steal. I've had a read over at the overclockers forum and they seem quite impressed, for the price.
Obviously it's not going to compete with the big boys, but just wondering if there's anything I should be wary of?
Im after a gc at the mo thease look good for the price but would i have to update my power supply ?
specs
* AMD Phenom 9550 Processor
* 2200 MHz Processor speed
* Genuine Windows Vista (R) Home Premium
* 4GB Memory
* 500 GB Hard Disk
sorry to ask a question on your thread m8 but i think its relevant :P
From what I've read they are very power efficient, and don't need a seperate power source - they get all the need from your PCI slot.Quote:

i just got an email from NVIDIA about a new "NVIDIA SLI with CUDA, and Quadro FX 5800" might be what u neeb (a bit over budget tho)
The Quadro FX 5800 graphics card offers unprecedented performance and scalability to rapidly visualize and interpret massive datasets that until now were unattainable on a workstation graphics board.
Offering up to 240 CUDA™ programmable parallel cores and the industries first 4GB of graphics memory, the Quadro FX 5800 graphics card is ideally suited for oil and gas exploration, medical imaging, styling and design, and scientific visualization professionals providing them with visual supercomputing from their desktops delivering results that push visualization beyond traditional 3D. The Quadro FX 5800 is the most powerful professional graphics card in graphics history. Also, check out the Quadro FX 4800!
still it looks good
Yes mate, it will.Quote:

Most, if not all, new graphics cards support DX10, but most low to mid range cards aren't powerful to implement it smoothly anyway, so it doesn't really matter!Quote:
