I am trying to buy a graphic card and I had taken some of the information of the cards. They are as follow 4850 cf, 4850x2, 4870, 4870x2 this are the some of the graphic cards on which I had take the information in sequence. I necessitate help in selecting between these configurations or arrangements. Which graphic card is superior. I got instruction that every card has or can be used on 2GB of ram. Which is quicker?

I would declare 4890 crossfire, it determines to serve you well, additional than for kicks, post the rest of what you encompass containing monitor. Depends what you desire to play. It’s the entire relative to what you intend to utilize those graphics cards for. 2 4850s are on par by means of one 4890, additional than you be able to get a 4890 for less by means of rebates at the present. Essentially 2 x 4850 is astonishingly powerful. The majority benchmarks put it as to some extent outperforming a gtx285, so you are able to expect them to perform much superior than a single 4890.

The funny fixation is the OP by no means came back to give us the desirable information in sequence so most of them might make an informed suggestion. And the original query is type of unclear. Everybody be familiar with 4890 in crossfire determine to outperform 4870 in crossfire, additional than if you throw value into the mix, the 4870s are a far superior value, in view of the fact that you be able to get two for slightly additional than the cost of one 4890. So at present the thread has been taken in excess of by the obvious posts of 4890 in crossfire is the most excellent performance.

I am giving the impression of being at those 2 cards, moreover 4890CF or 4870x2. I be familiar with in general 4890CF be supposed to perform superior than 4870x2, other than my MB has 2 PIC-E2.0 slots, if working with CF determine to be running x8. So I am not certain if 4890CF at x8 x8, is tranquil going to beat 4870x2 in x16 in this case. Oh yes it determine to. Merely monster cards similar to the GTX295 or HD4870X2 be able to bottleneck PCI 2.0 8X. The two 4890s determine to be extremely well.

The highest I be able to get by means of playable fps. 4870x2 is regarding $40 cheaper than the cheapest 2 x 4890 cards I am able to locate, so I am not certain which I be supposed to go for. I am frightened that CF determines to cause me some unpredictable tribulations as I have by no means completed it. 4870 X2 is crossfire, immediately on one board. On the other hand if you are concerned regarding it then you would be superior off going by means of the 4870 X2. It's tranquil an incredible card and the prices recently are even additional amazing.

You go by means of the two card explanation if you be able to afford and encompass decent cooling fan. L1quid is right, unless you have encompassed an aversion to dual cards get two 4890s. Individually I similar to sticking to solitary super fast cards as I would immediately assume sell an older card and upgrade to impressive higher end. Sorry I am supposed to have been additional specific. Yes, a roomy case, superior airflow, nothing exotic or anything. I would not necessarily cram two cards in a crappy case by means of atrocious cable management and diminutive airflow.

This is a diminutive misleading, the entire X2 cards (7950 GX2, 3870 X2, 9800 GX2, 4870 X2, 4850 X2, GTX 295) execute beneath the equivalent dual GPU match such as 2 8800 GTS 512mb vs 9800 GX2 or 2 4850s vs 4850 X2, not immediately ATI ones. As a substance of information ATI dual GPU cards tend to be a bit close than nVidia if you give the impression of being at the 4870 X2 vs GTX 295. The 9800 GX2 is an underclocked 8800 GTS, at the same time as the 4870 X2, is clocked the similar. Thats the dissimilarity.
