GT430 vs HD4850

[cybermoose]

I've just brought the Titan Nero from OcUK:-

- Case: Xigmatek Asgard - Black
- Power Supply: Corsair CX 500W
- CPU: AMD Athlon II X2 Dual Core 250 3.00GHz (Socket AM3)
- Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H 880G (Socket AM3) DDR3 Motherboard
- RAM: OCZ Gold Low Voltage 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C9 1333MHz Dual Channel
- Hard Drive: Seagate 500GB SATA-II 16MB Cache
- Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce GT 430 1024MB GDDR3


I have a 512MB ATi HD4850 graphics card that I saved from a PC I managed to ruin. (go me!)

Is it worth changing the 430 for the 4850? Or would it be not worth doing?

I'll be using it for the COD series (maybe Starcraft II) and the girlfriend for WoW.

Cheers

The 4850 will be considerably faster, we're taking 2-3x faster.

That answers the question and I'll be making the swap then.

Cheers.

Actually, next question is would the power supply handle the HD4850 from the GT430?

Thanks

Yep you could run a GTX470 off that PSU easy.
