ATI RADEON

[Desertstorm1]

Heya all ..;-)

i want to ask about ATI Radeon 4670 1 GB

is it good for gaming ?

 

[dndhatcher]

Depends on your monitor resolution. A 4670 is a minimal gaming card that will be OK at low resolutions (like 1024x768).

If you give your monitor resolution and the games you want to play you will probably get some graphics card recommendations.

It will get you in the door but it won't put you at the front of the line. The 4670 is more of a multimedia card in that it gives good performance over most things, but when it comes to games it just gets you in the door. The lower the resolution you are playing at, the more you will be able to turn up the graphic settings, but you will want to leave AA and AF off, for the most part. It is a good card if you just need something to get you playing games at "OK" graphics.

Is this a general questions, or are you planing to make a purchase? If so, list your specs, what resolution you will be playing at, what games you intend to play, and your budget.

 

[Desertstorm1]

Of course i want to purchase ....

My pc specifications is { INTEL CORE 2 DUO 2.13 GHz , 3 GB OF DDR2 RAM /800 MHz , and the mainboard INTEL DG965RY , WITH 1066 MHz front side speed bus }

i'm using 17 inch monitor with { 1280x1024 } ‎

and i want to play games like { NEED FOR SPEED SHIFT , CFD4 , ASSASSIN CREED , EMPIRE , etc

 

[Desertstorm1]

Oh about the budget i only have 200$ .

What Power Supply do you have?

A 4670 will play those game, but I'm not sure at what resolution. A 5750/5770 might suit your needs better, they run $145/$175. We just need to make sure your PSU can handle it. What OS do you have?

 

[Desertstorm1]

I have windows XP SP2
and 500 watt power supply and i can buy a newer if it needs

 

[dndhatcher]

At 1280x1024 a 5770 should play anything at maximum. You might even get away with a 5750 at that resolution. If you upgrade to a larger widescreen monitor you would want the 5770. If your power supply has a single 6pin PCIE power cable and your motherboard has a PCIEx16 slot your computer will handle a 5770.

I don't want 5770 OR 5750 because they are very big and maybe they will make a touch with the ram slots .. They are very close ....

Give me your final opinion and i'll be thankfull ...

4670 or 4850 ?

4670 have a faster core frequ , 128-bit interface but the 4850 have a huge number of stream process ....and 256-bit interface .

I don't want 5770 OR 5750 because they are very big and maybe they will make a touch with the ram slots .. They are very close ....

The HD5750 is shorter than a HD4850 and about half an inch longer than a HD4670...

 

[Desertstorm1]

I'M AFRAID THAT 5750 very expensive here in my country ....:-9

[ubernoobie]

there is always online buying unless you have no internet. Use ebay and get it shipped duh

 

[Desertstorm1]

PLZ ALL OF YOU { 4670 OR 4850 } ?

 

[turboflame]

I'd probably go with the HD4850 if those are your only options.

 

[edeawillrule]

I have windows XP SP2

Out of curiosity why haven't you installed SP3?

 

[Desertstorm1]

What about the core freq does it make matter if the 4850 freq lower than 4670 ?

 

[OvrClkr]

no, because the 4850 has more than double the SPU's and it is a 256bit card vs. a 128bit...

4670><4770><4850><4870 etc......

 

[Desertstorm1]

OK , I want to understand something ....

What's the differance between { ATI , HIS , XFX , AND SAPPHIRE ?
Do they all belong to AMD company or what?

Plz if anyone knows the full answer tell me

 

[wa1]

HIS HD 4850 512 MB IceQ 4, it blow hot air to the back out of your case, never had problem so far and happy about it's performance...

 

[Desertstorm1]

Please answer my question above.:-(

 

[Desertstorm1]

Is the 4850 or 4670 require a 6 pin connector?

 

[wa1]

4670 doesn't need a 6 pin connector, but 4850 need one...

 

[Desertstorm1]
