Is this one ok?

[shovenose]

is this one ok for mild gaming, for use on a 400w psu.
is it better than an agp 1gb radeon hd 3850?
is it better than a pci-express geforce 6800 ultra?
how many pci power connectors does it need?
is it silent?

 

[wa1]

???
.... umm, can u be more specific?

 

[shovenose]

what do mean? (sorry about it but?)

 

[OvrClkr]

this thread makes no sense whatsoever....

what are we talking about here?

 

[sailer]

What? Are you making fun of some of the questions (and questioners) that sometimes appear on the forum?

OK, some people really are that ignorant. They may be working on their computer for the first time ever and don't have the vaguest idea what they're doing. At least such people are smart enough to ask before they totally screw things up. Everyone starts sometime, and everyone probably was that ignorant at some point in their lives.

 

[Truhls]

Hes asking for a comparison on a GPU he never supplied. So we have no idea what he wants.

My comment was directed to the OP, his post is incomplete [:grahamlv:1] not trying to make fun of anybody.....

Save up and get this :

XFX 4770

The 4670 is weak and you will end up having to upgrade sooner than later. Just a suggestion

45 dollars more gives you double the SPU's [:jaydeejohn:5]

It appears that you are jumping to conclusions. He just made a reasonable statement. The post made no sense, he didn't name what video card he was considering. Maybe you should review YOUR posting behavior before lecturing him on his.

 

[rawoysters]

Referring to OverClkr. Sorry, see I did it too.

 

[OvrClkr]

hehe....

 

[shovenose]

the 4770 is too expensive.

 

[wa1]

so, how much do u want to spend?

 

[shovenose]

even the one i listed is at the upper limit. i was more thking 60 but the one i listed has a qyuiet loooking cooler and is probably good enough. i would just like 2 point out that the best card i ve ever had is a 6800 ultra...

 

[obsidian86]

the 4670 should be better ita actually on par with a 3870

 

[shovenose]

so i may as well buy a 3870?
but i may as well get the 4670....it has a great cooler>does everyone agree?

 

[wa1]

u are really on tight budget and your psu just 400W then go for 4670 just as u said before...

 

[shovenose]

Thank you.

DDR3 4670s are actaully awesome bang for the buck cards, and If you are running 1680x1050 or lower resolutions, it will perform quite well in most games.

 

[shovenose]

1024x768 is my resolution

 

[OvrClkr]

yea you are fine.... just make sure you adjust the settings according to the game you play. You should be able to play most games on Medium without any lag...

 

[JofaMang]

Then that card will definitely give you a great gaming experience. If you decide to upgrade your monitor at any point to 1680x1050 and beyond, it will choke up on you, but at that resolution, it shouldn't have any difficulty maintaining enjoyable framerates, Assuming you have a computer that can match. Your questions about AGP lead me to believe you have an older computer, and if the CPU is too dated, this might all be a wasted discussion.

If you have a decent single core CPU (say, 2.5ghz+) and 2gb of ram, you should be fine in seeing a performance boost from that videocard.
