Computer upgrade..

[Wayne]

Ah yes, i've decided, thanks to sickness!
This setting is arround 400 Dollars, and arround R$ 1000 (For brazilians)
My new system specs:
Motherboard

Motherboard GIGABYTE Q35M-S2
LGA775
Processor
Pentium Dual Core E5200 2.5ghz 45nm wolfdale

Video Card
XFX HD4850

Power Supply
C3 Tech DSA-5060V 600W (Nominal) 500W (Real)

Memory
2GB DDR2 800Mhz PC 6400 Markvision

I think  i do have a better idea..
i'll change that money for a better motherboard and processor.
I'll buy a Kit Amd Dual Core X2 7750 2.70ghz + motherboard + 1gb Ddr2 800mhz
What you think? it's way better?

Yes, its way better, but I do think that you also more memory

[Neave]

what is your budget? and what are the peices you want to replace?

AMD x2 2.7GHz, a entry level Motherboard, and just 1 GB of RAM wont do the job so well.

P5QL PRO
Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5200 (Can be overclocked to 4Ghz, if Malaysia version)
2-4Gb 800 MHz memory
nVidia GeForce 9800 GT(X(+))

I have:
P5N73-CM
Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5200 @ 3,75 GHz (Overclocked)
2 Gb 667 MHz memory OverClocked to 800 MHz
nVidia GeForce 9800 GT @ 660/1000 MHz (OverClocked)
And those runs Crysis @ Extreme Quality (Yes, even beyond from Very high) with 60+ FPS

Costs just max ~350€.. And 350W PSU runs them all.. That's cheap and good upgrade..

Choose ATI Radeon 4850 512mb instead of GeForce 9600.
I bought GeForce 9600GT 1GB Silent-Pipe and I'm tottaly disappointed.
Buy some better CPU to your motherboard and 2GB ram isntead of 1gb, its not big different in costs..

[Fido Dido]

I bought GeForce 9600GT 1GB Silent-Pipe and I'm tottaly disappointed.

why? :trust:

[Kessu]

why? :trust:

Because it runs out of performance when AA and other sh#t is at max. 9800 GT / HD 4850 (or better) runs every game smoothly.

[Jserg]

Bought Nvidia Geforce 9800GTX, played games really good

I suggest you to buy a good graphics card..9600Gt isnt that good for new games

[Fido Dido]

9800 is betteR?
hmm ^^

[Wayne]

I changed few things, but i'm still accepting sugestion till i order them!
HD4850 > 9800GTX but... 9800GTX+ > HD4850

[Kessu]

Take Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5200 instead of AMD 7750...
Get yourself a good mobo, ASUS P5QL PRO (or better) P5Q (PRO)
And I recommend nVidia, as it runs *almost* every game without problems.. ATI Radeon HD 48xx doesn't run every game so smoothly There are always few games where something don't work, but nVidia works in newer games better than ATI does.

[Wayne]

I'm not looking for overclock, i'm looking for stock cores.

48xx doesn't run every game so smoothly

Disagreed.
HD4850 beats 9800GTX and it is very closer to 9800GTX+, it's cheaper and good.
ATI Drivers has been updated very recently, there's always new drivers who increase video card peformance.

Also, i have choices between 9800GT for HD4850, but i got a notice that my budget fit a HD4850 so i decided to order it.
Let's compare prices:
HD4850
R$360
Core clock = 625
Stream processors: 800 stream processor units
memory clock: 1986-1990mhz
memory interface: 256 bits
memory type: GDDR3
memory size: 512mb

9800GTX+
R$448
Core clock: 738mhz
Stream processors: 128 stream processor units.
memory clock: 2200mhz
memory interface: 256 bits
memory type: DDR3
memory size: 512mb

As you see, 9800GTX+ looks alot more powerful than HD4850
Almost the same, but the prices are way different.
But in questions about perfomance and ingame.. HD4850 is almost the same as 9800GTX+

hmm, this one 9800GTX+ won HD4850, but, the results weren't bad.


Just because little FPS 9800GTX+ won



smoothly yet.


not bad results :P

8600 = 9600 but with new chipset.
8800 = 9800 but with new chipset.

[Wayne]

After doing some searchings, i found out E5200 is way better than X2 7750..
so i changed motherboard + processor

Also, i don't have a big ass monitor, so, the max resolution i can play is: 1280x1024

8600 = 9600 but with new chipset.

Not true.
8600GT is slower than 9600GT
there's much difference about 8600GT and 9600GT
but about 8800GT = 9800GT, well, some parts are true.

[Juraj_horvath]

my friend has 9600gt and intel c2d e8500 and runs call of duty 5 on highest with aa. probably its your shitty silent heatpipe edition or something
