Quick question about the hd 5830!!

[briovaz]

i was wondering whether the hd 5830 could max out any game at 1366x768 resolution? and is this card future proof on this resolution. thank you!

 

[Maziar]

Yep,it can max out every game on that res(except for maybe titles like Metro on DX11 and Crysis 2 with DX11/Ultra high pack)

 

[briovaz]

is the hd 5830 future proof?

 

[Maziar]

IMO,nothing is "future proof" because there is always something new around the corner.

what cpu do you have?

 

[briovaz]

its for a friend of mine. he wants to play games maxed out on a 18.5 inch led monitor with 1366x789 res.. so is this gpu worthwhile?

 

[mactronix]

Its a very worthwhile GPU as long as your or your friends system is capable of running it.
CPU and the Power supply would be important things to know. the card needs 2 6 pin PCIE connectors and a decent CPU would be needed to make sure it can crunch the FPS the way is meant to especially at a lower resolution.

thankyou:

i guess the psu and the cpu can handle the card.

That PSU only has a single 6 pin PCIE cable doesn't it ? I have one in a PC upstairs and im pretty sure i upgraded to the Corsair 650 with this build as i didn't fancy running a card that wants 2 PCIE cables on that PSU.
I looked into it pretty deep as i don't like spending money where it isn't needed (who does)and from memory the PSU is an overrated 420-430 Watt unit. Certainly not up to running a 5830 .

thankyou.

 

[briovaz]

he has these two cards in mind : gtx 460 1gb & hd 5830. in your opinion what is the best card to chose? thankyou.

 

[Maziar]

Of course GTX 460
As for PSU,well that's not a very reputable brand.I recommend a decent 500+W PSU from companies such as coolermaster,corsair,antec etc.
