Ati radeon hd 5830 vs nvidia geforce gtx 460

Geforce GTX 460 is better for the gaming,as i have a thread on about the GTX460.The GTX 460 has more better performance than 5830 due to benchmark results but uses little more power consumption,depends on which memory you use such as the GTX 460 768MB (150 TDP) or the 1GB (160 TDP),while the 5830 uses (175 TDP) and less benchmark and more power supply to use than the GTX460.
As for your power supply,it depends on which card you choose to use and wether you are going to overclock your cpu and overclock your video card,you might want to get 550W power supply to 600W power supply.Some one might be able to answer your question on the power supply,because i use the GTX 460 on the minimum requirements on the power supply along with the overclock cpu and video card and depends on the cpu cooler which may incase need to use a bit more power supply.So there for i use the power supply search from the www.corsair.com
and it also depends on what brand of cpu you are using too.You might be lucky that your power supply should hold all that,as i said some one else should be able to answer about the power supply you have.

thank u 2 all

No,the GTX 460 uses less power than the 5850.

the 768 version of the board has an entire SM disabled, costing you roughly 25% performance loss vs the 1gb model. i wouldnt waste my money on the 768 when the 1gb is only like 50 bucks more.

No, the HD5830 can draw more power as it has power regulation issues since it does not shut off power to unused units, so it can often be more power consuming, but the HD5850 is not the same and it consumes less power than the GTX460.

But even then it depends on what GTX460 you're talking about because as mentioned the 1GB model consumes more than both;

i understand that the 460 may be a little better in benchmarks than the 5830.. but i can say that my 5830 idles at 40 degrees and has NEVER gotten hotter that 61 degrees.. it stays so cool its ridiculous.. IMO it would all depend if you sli or crossfire.. depending on your system.. then i would make the choice of ati or nvidia.. but if its one card your looking at.. obviously the 460.

i wouldnt doubt it.. a 5850 is a dx11 card.. a 4890 vs a 5850 in dx10.. that may be a different story.. my 4890 was a BEAST.. really.. love that card.. but it gets really hot and eventually it fried on me.. after about 6 months only..lol..

oohhhhh kaaayyyyyy.... *coughs* RAGE^^^ *coughs*

this will make ya feel better.. if you dont laugh at this i dont know wwhat will. (nevermind.. my videos was taken off..

IM sorryyy!!!! your right.. but man that was funny.. i felt i had to share it..

Oh by the,you wrote (cant see the graph above)your blind dumbass,its below.

Wow you are blind as well as incapable of understanding English.

Above the post that said "the graph above" was a graph above it that showed you the power consumption of the cards alone (and was the first graph in the thread), the one below that phrase contained within the same post was the one from THG that was an example of the tests showing the system consumption which are the only type that even show the GTX460 being close and that includes the more active CPU and memory in the higher FPS so it's not even close to showing just card consumption the way the Xbit tests do.

Pretty straight forward and easy enough to understand, thus proving your mental faults aren't limited to your language skills, which are on their own quite poor.

Funny you couldn't even read your TDP #s correctly either which shows the GTX460 above and below the HD5850, even though if you were smarter or had a better understanding you would be able to figure that out.

Shame you had nothing else to contribute to the thread other than your own faults. I on the other hand could post, below, examples of better power consumption from many other sources proving you wrong;

Pretty much all of them say the same thing that Tamz_msc did and Raiyus13 followed up with: The 1GB model of the GTX460 uses more power than the HD5850, which even your own link hints to that with the two TDP power numbers for the GTX460.

You're just either too blind or ignorant to see / understand that fact.

I make you go away..

After all that I'm not sure if this bears mentioning, but the HD 5830 only matches the GTX 460 768MB at 2560x1600. At all resolutions lower than the GTX 460 768MB is faster. Since both are $199 with similar power draw and noise the choice should be easy. The fact the GTX 460 is physically smaller is a plus in my book and would make the decision that much easier (would rather have a faster 8.25" card in my system vs. a slower 11" long one).

As far as the concern that the 768MB is going to be quickly overwhelmed by today's and future games texture load demands I think that's a bit unfounded. At 1920x1200 on down its just fine and will be for quite a long time. Of course, if you have the extra $30 get the 1GB model. It will be faster, but even 1GB cards can have their frame buffers filled to overflowing by certain games. Just because a game goes over its VRAM capacity in a given cell doesn't mean a card stops working. It just slows down a bit at very high resolutions. Then again, if you're gaming at 2650x1600 I doubt you're looking at a mid-range card.

Strange, I have seen many benchmarks showing the 5830 taking out the 1gb 460. I think the 5830 sucks unless you overclock it, then it's a really good card worth it's money and it runs very cool. I have mine running at 950/1300 and I notice a difference of up to 10fps in metro 2033 @ 1680x1050 with my i7 930 system. It's interesting how many different benchmarking web sites are bias. Come to think of it, so am I

The GTX 460 is better than the 5830.

and @OP the PSU you have is not good at all .Change it to a Corsair VX 450 or better.

I have seen instances of it failing to deliver the stated Watt and besides it is a low quality unit.

ROFL

thank u 2 all.............

Hey!!
can u explain what happen to my other pc components??
I think nvidia gtx 460 is better for my system as it takes max power 450w, and my power supply is 500w

care to explain to me how 200-230$ is the price range for 2 gtx 460's?

your psu quality is not good, the power it supplies however is fine for a gtx 460

yes it is, just wondering if i was missng some crazy deal

Well, that depends what your max resolution IS!. If it's more than 1680x1080, you're gonna need the 1 gig. If its lower, it would do just fine on medium/ high settings. But very high settings will be difficult.

hey can i run Ati hd 5850, as GTX 460 1gb has more TDP then hd 5850
