5850 and gtx470

[infernocy]

is 5850 better than gtx470?

 

[Sleinous]

In teh future could you please just make one topic about your queries and ask new questions in the one thread please.

No, the GTX 470 beats the 5850, and the 5870 beats the GTX 470.

 

[infernocy]

i will make a list and ask them all together sorry

 

[Sleinous]

You can continue to add to this topic if you wish, we keep looking at new activity on threads anyway

 

[infernocy]

on second thought both cards are really expensive so i will choose between ati 5500-5700

ok one question

is COOLIT ECO A.L.C (ADVANCED LIQUID COOLER) (£59) enough or do i need the coolit eco c240 alc?

 

[Sleinous]

If youre not overclocking, you dont need either. Lso that motherboard is seriously overkill if youre going for a budget GPU and not overclocking. The P6X58D-E would be a way better suited board and the extra money could be put into a much better gpu. For cooling, the triple heatpipe cooler or titan fenrir at the limit, is all you need.

thanks man that was what i was thinking i hope the below is a better pc

ok my new build
i am not going to make changes for a long time so is it better to make the psu 750-650 cos it say it need 450 on the website

 

[Sleinous]

850 is too much power, even if u added another 5670. Again, that 2000mhz RAM is uber overkill Go down to atleast 1600mhz. Upgrade hard disk to a WD10EARS and gpu to atleast a 5770.

that the last mod of the build
can the system run ATI 5830 and nvidia gtx 1gb or 768gb 460?
if not i will stick with 5750



thanks for all the help

 

[Gishank]

The system would be able to run both of those cards happily by themselves, you should be able to get two 460's on that powersupply in SLi.

 

[Sleinous]

Bit pointless tho, you cant team them together so the 460 would have to be used as a physx card. Tbh id forget about the 5700 series, if you want a good gaming machine u want 5800 series

 

[Evil Tactician]

Get a 1gb GTX 460 and add another later if budget is an issue - would be my advice.

Yup and sound advice.

i am ok with the keyboard i play games that use mostly the mouse
the last option that left is lower the cpu for a better card ?
i think i will probably leave it as it and add 1gb 460 later
shame i cant play minecraft cos i get a black screen

 

[Sleinous]

Imo cpu is still too powerful but its looking quite good now

 

[infernocy]

what psu would i need if i put if i use the 5800 6800 and over the 460 series , i mean to change the card in the future

Same sort of card really so the same PSU would be fine.

 

[infernocy]

thanks guys i will go with this build

this video says that 2 460 are better than 480

[Sleinous]

That's correct.
