It's yesterdays tech..

The 250 isn't a bad card (although as Liqourice says, yesterday's tech). It's benchmarked in the reviews I linked to, so you can have a direct comparison.

If you can afford to get a 5850, get it. If not, get 5770. If you can't spend over 800, get the 4850.

I think all have been said in this statement, about the gt250, I would not buy it, 4850 is much faster, also a 5750 is not a bad choice, but I would follow the statement written above

So guys thought i would fill you in on what was going on

Iwe just ordered a 1gb 5770, and i made a great bargin with a friend, that included me getting his brand new OCZ 500W StealthXStream in exchange for my cx 400 and a little cash..

I just wasnt happy with running a 5770 on a 400w psu

^ Are you my virtual twin?!!!

I just got an HD5xxx card and about to get the same OCZ PSU tomorrow and will be selling my Corsair CX400W soon!

Haha xD Nice.

Sadly my the pci-ex port on my mobo doesnt work..

I have been using the onboard graphics until now.. So tomorrow i will be going out to buy my self a new one

what?

the pci-ex port on the motheboard is faulty?

that really sucks.. i've noticed that quite often on some of the Dell and HP computers recently.... ports there, wires are on... but for some reason many video cards will not boot and detect

Dybdal · May 1, 2010, 12:52 AM

It really sucks..

But i have been wondering, it says on the package from the gfx that it needs to be running on a psu with a 12v rail with a minimum of 40a. Is that reallly needed? And my psu has a dual 12v rail with 18a on each.

Judas · May 1, 2010, 04:12 PM

if the PSU is good... 18amp x2 should suffice for a 5770....

Dybdal · May 1, 2010, 08:22 PM

Great

Its a ocz stealthXStream

isaak · May 2, 2010, 02:26 PM

Grats on the new card, but a damn shame about the mobo. Maybe someone is saying its time for your upgrade now

Dybdal · May 2, 2010, 03:16 PM

Sadly i havent got the cash to go the hole mile yet.
