Is there any better card than HD4850 which could work with 450w PSU ?

I just got a hd4850 , but i see Crysis lags while playing it. I was looking for another one better than hd4850.

Which gpu do work with a 450w psu? no matter what price.

At what resolution you're playing and at what settings (high, very high, AA) ?

I'm sure it's your cpu that's bottlenecking.

I am playin on medium , no AA , no hdr to make it better performance. It lags once in a while when koreans attack.

my psu (thermaltake tr2 rx 450watt) is enough to run a 4850.

It actually runs good but i was wondering maybe i could find another card. I play on medium settings , sorry for the HDR part.

I believe Nvidia always better than Ati like Intel owns AMD . hahahahahaha :)

My rig; AMD phenom 9600 quad core 2.3 ghz

4 gb ram

320gb seagate hdd

Ati 4850 512mb ddr3

I already patched the crysis game but it lags once in a while.

I play at 1024x... (whatever it is) . Maybe i gotta raise the resolution to get a better performance or play the game on dx9.

Well first off your CPU is the main problem no the GPU i got a 4850 i can run crysis max youv got the 9600 @ 2.3ghz and thats the one with teh TLB bug so its dragging your PC right down so OC it atleast and it should be better

Hd 4850 = Run Crysis on high.

Sounds like your CPU, isnt there some bug that kills the game performence with those CPUs?

Your cpu is bottlenecking, but still you should have good framerates on all high at that resolution (I think you meant 1280x1024). The hd4850 handles Crysis' high settings very well.

I get 44 fps on all high no AA at 1280x1024 with E6850 + HD4850 (Catalyst AI disabled): Link 1

48 fps with Catalyst AI set to advanced: Link 2

Define "lags" once in a while???

Better yet run the crysis GPU benchmark and tell what's your average FPS.I think there should be a sticky about what information should be given beofre making a crysis performance help thread!:|

HD 4850 is the BEST gfx card that would work with a 450watt PSU.

Only way to get a better card, is upgrade the PSU.

ok , thanks guys , i just got this psu because it was good price $40 ( thermaltake 450watt) .

I know my gpu should be perfect to run crysis, the thing is i get good fps but it lags once in like 2-3 mins, i cannot describe it why.

My cpu should be perfect too , it is quad core , what is goin on with AMD cpu's ??
