New graphic card - need help - Overclock.net

ZTempo · 02-06-09

Hi

I've found myself searching for a new graphic card for some time now, but i've a problem. I'm having trouble finding out which cads will work with my motherboard, and since it is not listed as a product anywhere, i can't really find any information. It's an ol' Gigabyte GA-8tcr410mnf-rio, you can see it here common.packardbell.com/itemnr/spec_Rio/rio.JPG ...

I've heard good things of the HD4670 (Not looking for the top of the line), but I was wondering if you guys could help me.. Will it run in my system?

Thanks in advance..

It will most likely have a PCI-E slot so that means you can get almost anyway new card.

If I were you I wouldn't get the 4670, I'd get the 4830 instead for like $30 more you get 50% more performance.

My 'family' machine has a Packard Bell Rio 410 board in it (completely unclockable its all BIOS options ae locked out).

Realtek sound, Xpress200 onboard. So you should have a PCI-E slot in it as I'm guessing the boards are almost identical, so uh huh HD4670 will you fine

I agree, get a HD 4830 instead

Thats not what he asked, his PSU would probably go pop running a 4830 for any length of time.

The 4670 is definitely a better choice. It doesn't require external power and competes with the 9600GT

Thanks for the help, I'm impressed people replied so fast... I've actually bought a new psu recently, so i'll take a look at the 4830 as well..

Thanks...

what Amps is your power supply? is it kicking power on the 12v rail? if your psu is strong, get a 4850 or even a 4870 unless you want to save money to get a 4830. it depends on what you want to use your computer for. good luck
