Help with Graphics Card choice

[RSOT]

Hello, I have the ECS AMD690GM-M2 AMD 690G, this motherboard.

I am interested in ATI Radeon HD 4670.

Would this be ok?

My other specs are:
Windows XP
AMD Athlon 64 x2 Dual Core Processor 6000+
3gb RAM
480W PSU

Thanks in advance

It will fit and work yes, but if you can stretch another £20 the 4770's are much better performance wise

I think I probably will go for one of the 4770's then, but they are out of stock at the moment, any idea when will be available?

Thanks

 

[RSOT]

Actually, would this be a better choice, XFX ATI Radeon HD 4830 ?

The 4770 is faster, uses less power and is most likely quieter as well. Thats still a really nice card for the price though.

 

[RSOT]

Ok thanks, I'll go for the 4770 then. Do you have any idea when it will be in stock?

 

[95thrifles]

Not sure, try dropping the shop a webnote, they may be able to tell you

 

[RSOT]

I sent the shop a webnote but they are unable to say when they will re-stock.

I really want a new card as soon as possible so if I was to go for the XFX ATI Radeon HD 4830, this should still be fine with a 480W PSU?

 

[95thrifles]

yeah the 4770 is a replacement of the 4830, so the 4830 wont be too far behind it in performance terms, and yes it should work as long as you have enough amps and a PCI-E power connector, which PSU is it?

 

[RSOT]

Ah right, thanks, it's the Xilence 480W PSU, is the PCI-E power connector one of the wires coming from the PSU?

 

[95thrifles]

yes it is and I checked that PSU has one, enjoy

Cheers for you help mate, I'll be purchasing one asap
