baba dench Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 ^^ Its the best config I can think of. Maybe someone else can suggest some alternate components. And connecting it to your Bravia would be fine. Does your Bravia have a VGA port? all Bravia usually have VGA port...alternatively you can connect through HDMI-DVI cable(better option) yep, thank you , what i meant was ,if i'm willing to spend a little more, if i can get a better config??

Aftrunner Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Not unless you turn that "little more" into a "lot more". The next best proccy to go for would be a quad core which might be worth it 1-2 years down the line. Not right now though. You could also get a differant version of the 4850 for an extra 3k but the performance boost is almost non existant. You could also upgrade the 4850 to a 4870 which would give you a significant boost but that would be another 8k or so. Its not worth it. So yeah you could get a better rig but it would increase your budget by quite a bit and IMO its not worth the money you will spend. Far better you save that money now and if needed upgrade the proccy/GPU in a couple of years. BTW your Sony Bravia is it 720p or 1080p?

AtheK Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 the above spec is near killer...yo can also check the vendor thread one guy is selling preconfigured machines there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baba dench Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 (edited) ohh, alright... thanks alot..Thank you Bravia's full hd, 1080p Edited January 18, 2009 by baba dench Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftrunner Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Hmm in that case it might be worth upgrading to a 4870 if you can afford another 7k or so. Since your TV supports full HD you could play games at 1080p which would work better with a 4870. A 4850 would work OK but with some games it wont do 1900x1080 at high details. It would take a performance hit. Take this with a pinch of salt though. I have no idea if games at 720p look alright on a 1080p display. For all I know you might not even spot the differance between the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtheK Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 there is a huge difference...VERY HUGE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftrunner Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Yeah but I am guessing since he is using it for a PC its not a 40+inch screen. On a 32 inch LCD I can only spot the differance between 720p and 1080p if am about 3 feet or so from the telly (trust me tried more than once). I checked a video though so games might be more noticeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtheK Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 buy a wireless PC controller and be happy while playing games... and ya if you have a 40 inch screen dont use as PC monitor you will go crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftrunner Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Heh a 40 inch screen as a PC monitor would be like watching a tennis match. You would be switching your head left and right just to read text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimmjow Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 @memory clock, it shows 400.0MHz, but i thought it is 800MHz. :ph34r: how come that difference? nearly HALF Lol 400 is not nearly half, it IS half, pushpa really fail at maths Its coz DDR2 transfers 2 blocks every cycle, so effectively your ram is at 400 * 2 = 800 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtheK Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 6GB memory is waste IMO you can upgrade that later and try to get 4870. Why do you need an external sound card? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
