Best and Cheapest Video Card

[ssaloon]

Naubos mo lahat ng cable ng PSU mo? Usually sobra sobra yun ah.

Dami ko kasing fans eh hehehe

yep, myroon po. some vc also has adaptors as one of their free accessories.

if you intend to try your old psu... when on game mode... tingnan mo temperature ng PSU mo... kung mainit... try smelling it from the exhaust fan...

personaly, if it's a generic psu. I would not try it...

Subukan ko lang with my existing PSU kung kakayanin when I free up some power load by disconnecting some peripherals.

----------

Mukhang kukunin ko na yung 4850 sa link na pinost ni rion.

Wala nga lang daw silang stock ngayon, maybe next week daw.

Nakakabitin!!

Yaw mo maghintay ng 5800 series? :P

[ssaloon]

Haha di na, I want to stick to my budget, and this purchase is more of a need since the VC I'm using is breaking down (white laser light show on the monitor ).

available na ata 5750,5770,5850,5870

Kakacheck ko lang sa website ng PCX kanina, wala pang Evergreen series ng ATI na binebenta. Siguro sa Gilmore mismo meron na kaso I don't really have time to check. Pag may pambili nalang ng bagong system

[rion]

just check here: http://tipidpc.com/useritems.php?username=PCHub

me, I'm building a cafe sa bahay... joke... just building 4 pc's para enjoy sa Lan games... kung isa lang sana PC ko. malamang bibili din ako ng highend card ngayon or the GT300 as it will hit the market. haha...

[ssaloon]

May 5750 na si PCHub sa TPC, P6850. Buti nalang over my budget

[jut703]

Wow ngayon ko lang nadiscover na may TPC account pala ang PCHUb. Salamat mga sir. :P

Grabe sold out na kagad yung 5850. Hindi lang pala ako naghihintay nun. Akala ko lahat ng tao 5870 kukunin.

Hmmm. A bunch of new cards just arrived at newegg.com

5770
5750

Hmmm. I was about to settle for a 4890...... I guess I better wait for the benchmarks first.

Depending on the game, the 5770's performance competes with 4850, 4870 and a 4890. The 5770's power consumption under full load takes the cake though.

[Jun aka Pekto]

Look at the power consumption...... I'll bet the temperatures match them too.

Well, one good thing about where I am is it's hard enough to keep a house warm at 21 Celsius during winter. All that hot air from the pc would be beneficial.

[ssaloon]

Hmmmm... based on that power consumption comparison, I am seriously holding off buying a Radeon HD 4850. Do you think the 5750 will have similar power usage?

I need a benchmark ASAP!!!

-----

EDIT

I found a few tests on the 5750. Doesn't look too good in terms of fps, but power consumption looks impressive.

I'm torn, damnit!! Inputs please?

[Jun aka Pekto]

I'm torn, damnit!! Inputs please?

Don't feel bad. I'm in the same boat as you.

I'm also thinking 2 x HD5770 in Crossfire mode. Newegg.com sells the 5770 for $160. Crossfire for $320? Not bad. Not bad at all.

I'm starting to think of a plan to sneak two of them in behind the wife's back.

There is a brighter side today, and that’s the 5750. It wins as much as it loses, and overall it’s just as good as the 4850 when it comes to performance. The pricing is no different either, which means you’re paying the same amount of money for a card of similar performance, better features, and better power characteristics. It’s a no-brainer. Along the same lines the GTS 250 and the 5750 end up going back and forth enough that there’s no consistent performance difference. We’ll take DirectX 11 and 40nm over PhysX and CUDA any day of the week, so the GTS 250 becomes the next Evergreen victim. NVIDIA would need to shave the price down to justify its purchase once more (something they have not done on the GTX series in response to the 5870 and 5850).

The 5750 also whets our appetite for a great HTPC card with its excellent power characteristics and bitstreaming audio support. However it’s at risk of being overkill for that market with its performance and still too-great thermals for a market that, seeing as how the HTPC doesn’t need great performance and always could use lower thermals. A passively cooled 5750 in particular would make a good HTPC card, but we’d look at the Radeon HD 5600 series next year for our perfect HTPC card. If you can wait that long.

Looks like this seals the deal on my 4850 vs 5750 dilemma

I think the 5750 will score better on later games. at direct X 11 pa. importante din yung consumption kapag mahilig ka sa 24hrs downloading *******s. lol

I'm really impressed by the power consumption... ganda...

Best and Cheapest Video Card

there's no such thing as Best and Cheapest. your conflicting two different terms here.

if you say best, it's gonna be pricey.
cheapest is you get what you pay for.

i think much better if you put Bang for the Buck video card.

ang pogi... I think I'm going to get this one for one of my rigs, wala pa kasi vc yun.

[rion]

Damn Tesla and their publicity stunt. lol
