My System
Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P
Intel E8400 @ 3.0GHZ
Sigma Shark 635w PSU
2gb ddr2 800mhz (I also planning to go to 4gb)
1tb WD Green 32mb cache
500gb Hitachi 16mb cache
Coolermater Centurion 590
Acer 22" 1680 x 1050 monitor
Logitech x540 5.1
I am going to purchase a 5850 is this the best buy cosidering a GTX 470 is $40 more and a 5870 $100 or is their another option based on my system
I love the 470 the tessellation advantage, the high minimum frames, the high 1680 x 1050 frames, the 32 multi sampling, the phsx (not a big deal though), the 3d (for now probably), EVGA and the longevity in terms of technology. BUT the 5850 & the 5870 is cooler and I ran a 4870 512mb on my 635w PSU comfortably so a 5850 should work for sure and I AM AFRAID THE 470 WOULD NOT WORK WELL! even though it has 40A on the dual 12v rails (NB is is almost 2years old if this is important)
PLEASE help me make the right choice!!!
