Don't know if your looking at the 256 bit version. Mine plays UT3, Bioshock very nicely. Not as fast on COD4 though. It will use more power than the 3850 and it overclocks very well on the stock cooling. Got 14,400 on basic 3Dmark06 overclocked on a 3.6 Q6600....

but it does run cooler and needs less power then the 3850 while delivering pretty much offer similar performance. If you need to run that resolution, you need to upgrade your computer. Neither card is gonna do much at that res. in any new-ish games....

How much power does 3850 need?. Hi everybody ... I have got a 450W PSU with 18A For 12V . Will 3850 work ? ... Hi everybody ... I have got a 450W PSU with 18A For 12V . Will 3850 work ? .. Type in Google, 3850 amp or amp draw, or power supply etc...

load. Simple. Also note that the 3850 does have a power connector, indicating that the 3850 does need more than just the 75W that the pci-e slot delivers. This implies that the 3850 needs more power, not less, than the 4670. Which is better to get the...

on lower settings. I just want something comparable to the 5950s performance. I can't figure out if that is the 3650 or the 3850. Further, would the 3850 be out of reach anyway due to it's CPU power needs. Plus with only a 350W power supply should we...

to know what kind of motherboard I'll be looking for, AM3 or AM2+ Thx ! 512mb HIS IceQ Radeon HD 4670 Turbo: Slightly faster than the 3850 with no need for an external power connector. Better GPU, but it's a 128-bit compared to the 256-bit 3850. Worth...

So thanks a lot for the advice. Getting a power supply with power factor correction always pays off, no matter what the system is. Does your PSU have the 6+2 or 8 pin connector for 8 pin power that the AGP 3850 needs? A salesperson at Fry's tried to sell...

You should also consider that the 3850 is going to need quite a bit of power, power that your system may not have. If you have anything less than a 400W power supply then get a 3650 instead. If you have at least a 400W then take a look at how many AMPs are...

P4 can't come close to powering the 3850. is it becouse it is bottle necking or is it that I don't have sata set up on this PC. or both I was referring to the OP, you need to get your own thread, soga. The OP posted this in march dude :lol: hay I'm just trying...
