nishanth12 Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 Im willing to buy a 4870x2 card this month.But i heard that this card has more power consumption and produces more heat.So does this card work in India(voltage input)?also is it having any overheating problems like in xbox360.Cuz i had a 360 which got rrod and i sold it. Is anybody already using this card?If yes, then please tell me all your rig. Any help is greatly appriciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
udayrulz Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 It will work fine , but there's no point buying one ... go for a single GPU like nVidia GTX275 or ATI HD4890 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would get the HD4890 .. it overclocks very well and can beat a GTX280 if overclocked . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This card rocks buy it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This card rocks buy it There are many cheap 600W psu's in the market ., they won't do the trick .. you ll need an Corsair / CM psu . Also to run 4870x2 you don't need a motherboard that supports CF as its a single card .. and the card doesn't rock any more .. 2 x 4890 perform more than 25% better than the same card .

nishanth12 Posted August 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 after looking at this site i've decided to buy two 4890's. http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ATI/HD_...rossFire/1.html Im upgrading my pc, im upgrading 4 things motherboard, GPU, Processor and RAM. I need crossfire enabled motherboard so which one do you guys suggest.Try below 12000Rs. And a good processor below 16000Rs. Can you guys tell me what power supply should i get as the above site said this card consumes a max of 420W. So what should i get to satisfy the whole system?

MarketTantrik Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 ^^ You should get at least a 800W PSU so that it delivers a steady wattage of at least 600W, even under extreme load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inFamous91 Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Why are u buying two 4890s?.5000 series are supposed to hit the market in few months and the prices of the currents cards will considerably fall to a smaller amount.Crysis wont do well even in 4890 Crossfire For motherboard you can go for MSI X58PO which better suits ur budget around 13k. Instead of getting 2 ATI 4890's get 1 and spend the money on Asus Rampage II extreme, it is the best board available till now if u wanna overclock.

MarketTantrik Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Not sure about prices in India. Check some online Indian PC component shops like IT Depot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
