Hello, community
I am a newcomer here and I do struggle in choosing a brand of AMD Radeon HD 7850 series.
Let me start with my PC specs:
PSU: Chieftec 500W
Motherboard: Asus M3A78
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 920 @ 2,8 Ghz
RAM: 4GB DDR2 CL5
GPU: Asus NGT 9600 Silent 256bit, GDDR3 512 MB
As you can see, I have a sufficient power supply, but I still uncertain if my motherboard will support that graphics card. The motherboard supports PCI 2.0 x16, but as far I am informed, it doesn't matter. But I do think maybe there is other any factories?
Mine graphics card is pretty old, but it actually really powerful among its opponents. The thing is - I would be satisfied with it, but it doesn't support DirectX 11 which is a new tendency in new-end products. I can't play anything that is released nowadays properly. Also the big problem of it - it runs at 50+ celsius even in idle mode. I suppose it's not that good when nowadays GPU's runs at 30 temperature in idle mode.
Ok, maybe I've gone to far with this all stuff. The basic thing I want to hear, apart from that is my mainboard capable of that GPU, is what brand to choose? MSI, Sapphire, Gigabyte? I am from Lithuania, btw, and the cheapest brand is MSI, the most expensive - Gigabyte. What do you suggest? I heard some bad thing about Sapphire, in particular OC version, it has some manufacturer spoilage that lead into hearing some sounds through out your audio devices. Like signals or something like this. That's why I am not ensure about this. Please help.
Looking forward to the answer.
Yours sincerely,
Skirmantas.
