Hi,

I m planningon getting a Radeon HD 4850 X2 1 GB

My motherboard is a ASUS P5LD2

Will my motherboard let me fully use the capacity of the graphic card??

Thanks

it will work, the board has a PCI-E x16 but its kind of an older board
what CPU do you have? it may bottleneck the card
what power supply do you have? The 4850 x2 needs a good amount of power
what about your RAM?

Hi,

Thanks for your help, I have:

Intel core 2 duo q6600 2.4ghz
RAM = 2 x 2 gigs corsair xms
Power Supply = antec truepower 550W

I have a similiar setup. Make sure you have a atx 8 pin plug on your psu. Mines didnt but it seems to be working with the 4pin plg. I bought a 2 4850 1gb and put them in Crossfire.

I have the following connector

It will work but a couple of points of caution: The cooler puts a fair bit of heat into the case, make sure you have good airflow, because this card runs hot, even with good airflow.
It is a physically large card, nearly 12" long, will it fit your case?

Your PSU has the correct connectors so as long as you are OK with the other points I have made...Enjoy the new card, mate.

Thanks,

Now Sapphire recommend 650W PSU, I have 550W PSU, should I change it?
