GRAPHICS CARD: HIS or SAPPHIRE ???!

[Dasa94]

So guys i wanna know if anyone of you have heard of HIS Digital. It makes graphics card etc. Some people say that (in my country) they do make good Gfx cards. i wanna know cuz i am going to buy one in a couple of days. Should i go for:
Sapphire's card i-e :
http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/?cid=1&gid=3&sgid=1088&pid=1281&psn=&lid=1&leg=0

Or this HIS' card i-e:
http://www.hisdigital.com/un/product2-765.shtml.

According to this His' website they say and i quote "HIS has won over 1500 awards with AMD graphic solution from major media worldwide."

Now i wana know should i go for them or not cuz their card is a bit cheaper but its not like i buy something and it gets screwed after a short time.

So some help anyone plz ? TY 😀

HIS and Sapphire are reputable brand. But I prefer HIS because of their cooling solution. IMHO, they make the 2nd coolest (temps) card in the market, Gigabyte being the 1st. Go for it.

 

[Dasa94]

really ? and is Gigabyte any good ? some of my friends say that they arent good idk but really ? 😛

 

[adimeister]

hahaha It is good bro. Look at the comparison charts all the time, the brands getting benchmarked are always ASUS, gigabyte, EVGA, and MSI.
ASUS = balanced for heat and noise
Gigabyte = noisy but runs cool
MSI = runs silent but a little hotter
EVGA = fast and crazy mods (some are noisy and fast, some are silent and underpowered)

But that's just me, that's my personal opinion seeing many GPUs.

btw my pc spec is this:
Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 @ 2.80 GHz, 2 GB DDr2 Ram(thinking about 4GB). A 350 W PSU. ati 4650 atm.
After this card can my pc like run games like gta 4 crysis 3 etc. if yes then on what settings ?. Currently my pc cant really run even saints row 4 properly. only on low settings it can. 🙁

 

[adimeister]

Oh damn. You need to upgrade your PSU bro. 350w PSU, damn.. But wait, what GPU are you gettings? Maybe you don't need an upgrade.

im gonna get Cooler Master Extreme Power Plus 460 W. with the card. That is Okay right ?

[adimeister]

But which card...? Some card needs 600w minimum, some needs only 300w. Totally depends on which card you are getting. But if you know what you're doing, then just go on

Im thinking about getting This

and the card which i want is HD 6670 either its gonna be sapphire or His or whatever 😀

Well I can't find any benchs on the R7 240 however I did notice that it has 1Gig of DDR5 ram so I think it should be faster than the 6670 with 1 Gig of DDR3.

Going by these specs

http://www.engadget.com/gallery/amd-r7-and-r9-series-spec-sheets/1259734/#!slide=1259730

you wouldn't need to upgrade your PSU with the R7 240. Also upgrading to 4GIGs will improve your FSP.

 

[Dasa94]

Isnt R7 etc is a different card. I was talking about HD 6670. Are we on the same page here ?

 

[ikaz]

You posted this in your orignal question.

That takes me to R7 240 page.

I prefer Sapphire generally, but the ddr5 on the HIS card is faster.

EVGA isn't fast some versions are and some just have slightly higher clocks than the reference card. MSI can be insanely fast and as some nice mods like their Twin Frozr fans.

For example. The EVGA 760 has medicore clocks and cooling compared to the MSI N760 TF or the MSI N760 Hawk. Same can go for other cards.

EVGA is known for their excellent warranty though I must credit them for that. Which is why their so popular.

If you take a look at some of MSI versions of cards compared to the EVGA version of the same card the MSI dominates EVGA, even Gigabyte surpasses EVGA on several cards. None the less I'd think that MSI and EVGA are very closed tied together for the best aftermarket company.

Sapphire also creates quality AMD cards which is something you should take a look at

I don't think you need to upgrade your PSU if you're going for the 6670 bro. Because it doesn't need an extra pcie connector. But what is you current PSU? If it's a generic one, then upgrade to the Coolermaster.

My PSU is a 350W i guess built in PSU. i dont know 😀. I was thinking about that cooler master one because on sapphire tech's website it was mentioned that it needs atleast 400W PSU. So thats why i was thinking about buying one

 

[Embra]

That PSU should be ok for a 6670.

Just ok ? not good ? the one im gonna buy is 460 W cool master

 

[Embra]

It will handle the 6670.

I would recommend get a good mahe mid PSU to take you into the next couple of upgrades.
You are fine for the 6670 with what you have now if you do not want to spend the money.

Well the thing is i dont have much to spend atm i can only get one card and this PSU. cant go any higher than tht ;_;

 

[Embra]

Just get the 6670 and your fine. Save up for when you want to upgrade to buy a better PSU and GPU.

What resolution is your monitor?

1280x1024. its low but im ok with it cuz dont have money to spend 😛

 

[Embra]

That's fine, the 6670 will play betterat that resolution..

Can my Pc like run cards like HD 7000 series ? i mean 7000+ whatever series they may be. If i like get 650+ W pwr supply etc.
