Forums - PC - Looking for opinions on video cards

Video cards don't have HDMI out usually...you get a DVI to HDMI converter for that...I do it on a 720p HDTV and it looks great.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

I think the Radeon 4850 is your best option, I'm getting one myself ^_^



yeah radeon 4850 is great, but if you can go for the 4870 its close nvidia 280 and it some test even beat it for alot less the price.



Some more research has made me wonder about my PSU. The 8800gt is purchased and it'll be delivered to me on Monday. However, I've questioned my PSU choice for a while now and I want to ask a question about it so I don't risk the damage of the GPU or other parts.

I have the Thermaltake W0100RU. From the looks of it, I'm unsure about this PSU and I'm wondering if it'll support the 8800gt.

 

 

 

I'm looking to quickly solve this issue today because if I do indeed need a better PSU, I don't want to sit on my brand new card for long since I'll want to make sure it works as soon as possible so I can register it and send out the rebate. Oh and, not to mention actually playing my games .

Thanks for the help



If you're going to cost:

That should be enough for your rig since you don't sound like you're going for SLI. This one is SLI ready in any case.

I think you should've gotten the HD4850 in any case. Too much performance benefit for minimal cost add.

I think you're fine - The 2nd rail that supplies your GPU has 15A*12v = 180watts

"The minimum psu requirement for a 8800GT is 400W and 24A total on the +12v rail(s)"

You have 29 Amps a very good margin to spare.



Tease.

Okay, I just want to make sure that something doesn't happen with my system with either the video card or everything else. The PSU is an area that I haven't researched as much as the other components.
