New Graphics card......

Im going to buy a new graphics card but i dont know which one is better the "eVGA e-Geforce 8800GT 512MB DDR3 PCI-E" or "eVGA Geforce 512MB 9800GTX+ Superclocked+" help please

The 9800GTX+ is better, but do you have a power supply that can run it?

Also, as Helbrec said, the 9800GTX+ isn't worth it for how it performs compared to the HD 4850.

Yea i have the Geforce 9500GS so the Power supply probably can run it and i dunno if i can put ATI cards into my computer plus the HD 4850 is way more expensive the ones im looking at cost about 140$ and 199$ while the HD is 219$ghost_shelly

I almost guarranty that it can't.

Are you from some place outside of the United States? Those quotes don't reflect current prices here.

Canada bud and Futureshop

That's strange. Best Buy's prices are way better in Canada, but you guys usually get shafted.

I suppose the 9800GTX+ is the best deal, but you'll need to upgrade your power supply. I would suggest getting a Corsair 550VX.

How do you know my Power supply can handle it and i can only get a PS from Futureshop so what else should i look for?

Yea i have the Geforce 9500GS so the Power supply probably can run it ghost_shelly

Amps or Volts? Plus my budget is like 200$ -360$ so i dunnoghost_shelly

Well i have 350W and i may just buy the evga 8800GT or the HD 4850 but also when buying a powersupply all these cards run on 450W should i buy a 500W PSU or a 450PSU or will more like overload my computer??ghost_shelly

NCIX = Killer prices, crap customer service (never gave me my free stuff and theyre all chinese people who cant speak engarish)

Ok so what PSU should i buy ? My computer can go to 450W max so can i buy a 500W psu and use it? Or will it like crash or somethingghost_shelly

As for what powersupply to get it depends on where your going to be buying the powersupply from ?

i've been running my 4870 on a 250 watt psu and its starting to smoke

what should do guys ?

buckquarterman

um throw out ur current pus and go get a new one with at least 550 watts

atlough i highly doubt u could even run a 4870 on a 250 watt psu.

too late comp's busted

600 dollars down the drain

oh well just get some more from my shop

I may just look At NCIX for the graphics card which should be the ATI 4850HD ? And the 500 W power supplyghost_shelly

Damn the Palit HD4850 for 150$ is sold out. There's a pretty good deal on the Corsair 550VX power supply at 55$ after MIR. Be quick or it will be sold out.
