Can i run a gt9800 ??

[ashh_17]

my specs
core 2 duo E4700 @2.6
2gb ram
psu has 30A on 12V rail...

will there be any problems if i go for a gt9800 ??

Good compatibility. 30A is more than enough to run the 9800GT

 

[rolli59]

It will run fine.

 

[omnisome]

9800GT doesn't even use much power, just a 6-pin and about 20A.

 

[rolli59]

9800GT is more powerful than the HD5670!

 

[bobthecatkiller]

9800gt most dont need a 6 pin anymore!

9800gt/8800gt is way to go,hd 5670 offers dx11 but it doesnot have enough juice to make it.

Benchmarks depend on the game, big difference in Crysis http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-hd-5670,2533-8.html
At the most common resolution the 9800GT is on average 9 to 15% faster http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Axle/Radeon_HD_5670/29.html

im buying a new one....
and thanks u guys for all the replies...really appreciate it

 

[ashh_17]

hey now you made me think over on which one to buy!!
please suggest HD5670 or 9800GT ??

 

[rolli59]

Low power PSU energy efficient card will run on 300watt PSU with about 18-20 amps on the +12 volt rail HD5670.
For 15% more performance 9800GT needs a PSU with 24amps on the +12 volt rail.

and there wont be any bottleneck type deal around my rig right ?

 

[rolli59]

No it should be well matched with your Core2 @2.6GHz
