Best ATI card for 450w psu

[sharmapratik2424]

hi guys just wanted to know the best ati card for 450w psu

Which PSU? Like paint, they have widely differing quality.
If it's a quality PSU, with a 6 pin PCI-E connector the HD5770 is as good as it gets.
If not the HD5750 is next best with the HD4770 coming in just behind it, both in terms of power usage and performance.

^ yep that about covers it, much like the paint Nice analogy might use it myself sometime.

actually i have frontech 450W PSU. i am using ATI HD 4350 and i am able to play games like cod5, hawx in low resolution but i want to get 4770 for better gaming experience... will my psu support it or i have to get a new one?
my config

I wouldnt like to say without knowing more about the specs of the PSU. As i cant find it on line thats a bad indicator for a start. I wouldnt put a 4770 on a questionable PSU.

Frontech makes cheap PSU. Really cheap quality.Not more than 18-19A on 12V.
If you wanna get a good card like 4770 and want it to last long then get a new PSU.

do u have ne good psu for 4770 that i can go for and its specification

First of all Pentium 4 is a severe bottleneck for HD4770.
Secondly your ram is too low for modern games.All newer games will be limited by your CPU.

I would recommend you a whole system upgrade.

Some PSU that will take the load of 4770:
Corsair CX400 Rs3000
Gigabyte Superb 460W Rs.2200
Corsair VX450 Rs 3900(Will last a long time)

Getting a 4770 is not a good idea.
IF your really want a gaming card then HD4670 will suit your needs.Cuz it is the cheapest gfx card recommended for gaming(After 4650 ddr3 ofcourse)

Yeah, an HD4670 should be fine for any 450w PSU(I would hope) and is more appropriate for your processor. Anything more powerful would likely be a waste until you upgrade your psu.

what do u suggest the best card for P4 & 1gb ram

 

[jyjjy]

I'd just get an HD4670. You may see some advantage to those other 2 cards especially at high resolutions but they will be largely bottlenecked by the processor. They also cost 2-3x as much.

well im inclined to think that that rig is agp, a 3650 is sufficient to me for any low end rig
