The video card I want is
HIS Hightech H487F1GP Radeon HD 4870 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card.

My question is will the video card work right with my system. Can you please inform thanks

I hope you aren't planning on putting both a GTX 280 and a 4870 in 1 system. If so, then it will not work.......Well, I actually heard that as long as you don't have Vista, it will work, but I can't confirm that.

If you are planning on replacing the GTX 280 with the 4870 (which is a serious drop in performance by the way), then it will work.

 

[Mousemonkey]

^+1, why the downgrade?

 

[amdfangirl]

It will work under XP and Windows 7, but question being, why?

 

[rewindlabs]

Someone tell this fool that his prebuilt pos system has or is coming with a graphics card *face palm*

 

[amdfangirl]

Nah, as long as he's building from ATi parts...

 

[AMD4Life]

Lol, I am an AMD fanboy, but replacing a GTX280 with a 4870 seems stupid. Anyway, that is no reason for calling anyone a fool. Maybe he got confused 😀 A nice replacement for a GTX280 from the "red corner" is HD4890 (which I proudly own), but still, nVidia is just better optimized for games. And really I do not get it. Have you thought about what you type? You are getting a system with a GTX280 and want 4870 along with it? What, you want Hybrid SLI/Crossfire or something??? Get that GTX out of the system description.

 

[amdfangirl]

Still pointless lol.

 

[JAYDEEJOHN]

G280 for physx? heheh

 

[yippie123]

[JAYDEEJOHN]

I was being a smart axx. Not sure, but highjacking a thread on a possible flame retort, Thats why I was being that way

 

[mactronix]

Just a general observation JDJ, not this thread specifically just something i noticed over the last week or so.
This thread just seemed a good place to mention it.

[amdfangirl]

Heh, my lack of sleep ain't helping the cause.

 

[JAYDEEJOHN]

I think since theres been nothing new released, people are settling into their usual camps. I noticed it too

 

[amdfangirl]

What camp am I in these days?

Just so messed up recommending 9600GSO for low end, HD 4770 for mid-low and HD 4890 for mid-high.

I can't even decide whether to recommend Athlon II X2 and Phenom II X3s over Pentium E6300 and the Core 2 Duo E7xxx series.

Darn competitive products.

 

[JAYDEEJOHN]

Well, thats just it too. Since theres competition out there now, it makes for heated debate, unlike times where we see a clear winner top to bottom

 

[randomizer]

Just keep recommending the GTX295, it's clearly the best bang-for-buck

 

[JAYDEEJOHN]

Just keep recommending the GTX295, it's clearly the best

Fixed it for ya heheh

 

[amdfangirl]

Just keep recommending the GTX295, it clearly shows that I am insane

fixed.

 

[Bluescreendeath]

If the OP still has the GTX280, I'll be more than willing to give him some $$$ to take it off his hands. 😀

 

[amdfangirl]

GTX 280... awful living ratio.
