Sufficient gpu ??

well 1st i had decided a gtx 470 but i hav issues with my cm xtreme power+ 600W power supply...............................
so i decided a just for time being gpu....................my Q is will i be able to play batman aa , assassis creed , pop forgotten sands , crysis etc games on a nvidia 9400 , 9500 , 9800 etc............my resolution is 1600x900.............also will it be compatible with my amd phenom ii 965 be 3.4 ghz processor and m4a785td-v evo mobo , psu mentd above......4 gb ram ????????? :??:

None of the cards you mentioned are really appropriate for your resolution. My recommendation would be an HD5770 which will perform very well.
Or you could go for an HD5850. It's cheaper than the GTX 470 and will crush 1600x900, especially if you overclock which the card does very well.
A 600w PSU should handle either of them easily and the rest of your system is fine.

but ati does not have phyx so batman aa wont work rite.............and what abt 12v-18A ??

plz suggest nvidia gpus................

No, you will be able to play Batman just fine. You will just be missing a few environmental effects like fog, and moving paper. It really isn't a very big deal and certainly nothing to choose your video card based on.
Are you saying your PSU only has 18 amps on the +12v rail? That is extremely low for 600w PSU. Are you sure it doesn't have two 18 amp rails? What is the brand/model number?

well i'm glad there's another nvidia fan here....

i run a GTX 260 with a 600 W power supply running at 1680 x 1050, and i had absolutely no problem with running those games (I must say you have an excellent choice in games there-played them all... loved them all!)

your CPU is good enough, yet i'm a huge intel fan, but you should have any problem there!!

the GTX 260 isn't as pricey as the GTX 470 or 480 but will still give you the 3D enhancements, physx additions and great FPS in each game.

this is my recommendation, from personal experience....

No, I wouldn't try the GTX 470. What I was recommending was the HD5770 or HD5850 which will both be fine for your PSU.
You could get a GTX 260 like Dane suggested. It will perform well for your resolution but they are quite overpriced. They perform similarly to the HD5770 but usually cost $30-50 more. In exchange for paying more you'll get older tech that is much more power hungry and you'll lose DX11 compatibility which is a bad trade off to get PhysX imo. PhysX has been around for a number of years and there are approximately 3 games I can think of where it makes a worthwhile difference. The proprietary nature of hardware accelerated PhysX makes it quite unpopular with developers. Despite being much newer there are already more games that make worthwhile use of DX11 and that will only increase in the future.
If you love Nvidia and are unwilling to consider ATI then basically you need a new power supply. The only card they make above $100 that is worth purchasing right now is the GTX 470 and running that card on your current PSU is a sketchy proposition.

hmmmm...........thats sad !!!!!!!!!
how will it affect my gpu ???????
i mean the less amp supply...............i tried asking people but couldnt understand anything !!!!!!!

Reply to Adwait

Well if your power supply doesn't have enough power for the card then usually the system will simply refuse to start up with the card installed. Sometimes the system will start up but when you go to play a game the computer will shut down because that is when the card needs more power to function.
Even if the card does actually work you will be pushing the PSU to the limit of its capabilities which usually causes a PSU to fail and stop working altogether before too long.

Here is how to install a graphics card. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9x097QRXeA
Video cards (some) require external power connectors, the 470 needs 2 ~6 pin connectors. Which that psu has. You see them attach 1 in that video.
Yes it will fit also.

Reply to Adwait

36*12=432.

so the PSU is only capable of supplying 430w on the 12v rail. i have no idea how much the 470 draws, but theoretically that should be enough

however i had the 650w version of that PSU, and it was unable to supply my 4890 adequately.

CM PSUs are generally pretty crappy, and the PSU is the most important part of a system. grab a corsair tx650 and see how you will be much better off.

EDIT: ahhh, just checked the specs and my mistake, its not 36a on the 12v, its 18a on two 12v rails. so yeah, thats a really crappy PSU,. with only 18a on the 12v. not good, i wouldn't trust it with a 470.

Where do you see only 18A Welsh? I found a review of that PSU online and it shows 18A on two rails, but there is no total figure. Could be 22A, 36A, or anything really. We know each rail by itself can do 18A, but there is no data at all about what they can do together.

Add in the voltage selector switch, Group regulated design, 70% efficiency, and the fact its a CM, I'd get something else. Sell it to a noob and get a good one.

yeah, ive just rechecked (on the CM website) and i was right the first time, fail edit. two 18a rails. so it should in effect be able to power a 470. but like i said, i had to replace my CM 650w because it was failing to supply a 4890. so would still agree it needs replacing.

I would not even consider a 5850 with prices like this on the 470's. Problem is your PSU as it only supplies 36 amps when you need 38-40A.

This guy isn't in the US so prices here don't really help him. Was an HD5850 on newegg for $270 up until just yesterday anyway so the relative prices of the HD5850 vs GTX 470 haven't really changed.

You should believe him. The thing his PSU is actually much better than yours despite being "500w." Antec is one of the best brands you can buy and the EA-500w PSU he is talking about actually has two 22a +12v rails. And when Antec says that you can believe them. Your PSU says it has two 18a rails but whether that is actually the case is very questionable.

Nice try lol. I meant the opposite. The odds of your PSU actually being able to continuously supply 36 amps are extremely low despite the listed rating.

I know you like Nvidia but seriously, you are making a problem where there isn't one. The HD5850 is a great card, costs less than the GTX 470 and will work on your power supply. Look up some reviews you'll find that most of them are glowing.
It's not even really necessary, an HD5770 will be great for 1600x900 and cost you about half as much money.

ATI and Nvidia will work fine.

At your resolution a 480 would be massive overkill (as would the ATI 5870)

The 470 would also be more than is required but it is close to the 5850 in performance so is a possible option though is rather expensive.

The most powerful you would need would be an ATI 5850 (which is a bit weaker than a GTX470)

I would not get the GTX465 as it simply is not a good card for its price. The ATI 5830 also tends to be overpriced for its performance (though if you find it at a good deal it is worth thinking about).

An ATI 5770 is cheap and would do well at your resolution

I would not go with any GTX200 card as they are old tech and still overpriced.

So, a cheap option would be the 5770, a more powerful option would be the 5850 or the GTX470 (good if you plan on getting a better monitor at some point)

how can i overclock 5830........?
have it same procedure as hd 4870, hd 4890 and hd 5770?
i have read during my search on net that AMD has block overclocking on hd 5830 due to some reasons... is it right?

Reply to kim_51

Nothing is really massive overkill for Metro 2033 or Crysis. 1600x900 isn't that far off from 1620x1080 and in both these games my CF 5850s are going hard. For your typical game, then yeah my CF 5850s run at maybe 50% so a single 5850 would be taxed pretty hard. I'd recommend 5850 or 470. Whichever brand you like more but IMO Nvidia is behind in this generation.
If you're not a demanding gamer, save some cash go with a 5770 or I guess a 465.
If you are demanding my first recommendations stand, but you certainly could get a 5870 or 480. Basically any card should run on your system and with a 600W PSU. But you might be limited if you try to SLI/CF high end cards.

Reply to Adwait

Please don't talk like that unless you're actually texting in that reply...

Check the chipset on the motherboard and what it accepts. The intel I series takes both ATI and NV but im not sure about AMD's latest motherboards, you might be stuck only to ATI (not like thats a bad thing atm).

Physx is a small, proprietary API by NV that Devs use to create better effects, but if you dont have an NV card, the same effects are processed by software so its no real loss if you have a decent CPU.

Cost no constraint? A 4GB 5970, about £600 but amazing.

i want game 2 run on 1600 x 900 smoothly

Reply to Adwait

Here's the deal, both a GTX 470 and a 5850 will run games smoothly at 1600X900...

GTX 470 has: PhysX, 3D Surround Vision, CUDA (Similar to Eyefinity) as it's features, but it also costs 50$ more than a 5850 and it uses more power, therefore running hotter, mine idles at 45C and games up to 85C, very good card though.

5850 has: Eyefinity, Cooler temperatures and most motherboards prefer XFire over SLI. However it does NOT support PhysX, 3D. It will run much cooler and use a fraction of the power.

Overall both are good on their Performance:Value ratio. Depends on what features you want and what you want to spend, as previously stated BOTH will run games smoothly at 1600X900!!!

Good Luck!

P.S. - The GTX 470 has a minimal .25GB more of RAM, just remembered that.

Reply to jammert19

PhysX hardware acceleration specifically doesn't run on ATI cards. You can still play games with PhysX, you just don't get a little extra eye candy. The list of games that uses actual hardware acceleration is about 11 games. Batman AA, Metro 2033, Mirror's Edge, Cryostasis, Dark Void, Darkest of Days... these are probably the biggest games with it. It's really not a big deal, but if you really, really want it you can do what I did and run an Nvidia card as a standalone PhysX card with ATI cards as the actual rendering cards... it's not a supported feature so you need to download a patch to get it working but it does work.

Reply to Maziar

^+1 470/480 will run smooth on that motherboard, the case will be fine with cooling. Make sure you adjust nVidia's default settings, they suck for the fan options. The fan needs to be higher or the card will run a bit hotter. A good program to fix it is MSI Afterburner, you can set custom fan speed curves for performance vs. idle, it's been helpful to me, my card rarely goes above 85*C and it performs amazing!

Good luck with whatever you choose!

P.S. - Make sure whatever card you choose goes in the blue PCI-E slot, it's got 16x support which is much better than the grey 4x slot.

For that res,a GTX 470 suffices,there is no need to go with a GTX 480.
And no one can tell you that you can play games maxed out in 2 years because we don't know the specs of those games,but it will handle them fine,don't worry
