The timings on the RAM are not the same,
Will my Mobo support nvidia it is AsRock HVS-H55M for amd
I don't usually like buying things used, what are all of the benefits of the 460 over the 6850???

 

[T345]

I would rather get an extra warrenty, I know that AMD brought out ATI and looking at the benchmarks, not much of a difference.

 

[T345]

Ok, I might get it soon.
I'll update on my purchase =)

 

[T345]

Ok, i'll get a 6850, as I need warenty lol

Ohh, no I haven't bought it yet, I was just testing my sig,
I am planning to buy them

 

[T345]

Maybe future builds? or will the corsair 430w be fine? Can't have Xfire with my mobo

 

[T345]

Also will the 460/6850 be fine on 1440x900?
Ok, I will get the 550w OCZ, but I'm still not sure if my mobo can have a nvidia gpu as it is a lowend mobo

[T345]

no u wont be able to crossfire with that board or the psu either.

I know I can't crossfire, I was just asking if I needed the extra boost in PSU

 

[T345]

Ok, I'm just unclear about nvidia on a low end asrock amd mobo

 

[T345]

sorry thaught u asked "can i xfire"

http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/539?vs=542

there is the difference between then 6850 and a 460 pretty close

Ok, thats fine, also the 460 is superclocked so it will perform even better???

 

[T345]

Can someone answer my question that will decide whether i get ati or nvidia,
Will my mobo support the nvidia gpu???

 

[T345]

Btw, I'm going to buy ram + monitor + Psu, then gpu
Just found out only ati gpu will work with my mobo =(

On some other forum, also having a tv on my wall in my room with a rubbish wired keyboard and mouse, it's just not comfortable, my neck breaks when I try to game on it and my eyes bleed when I try to read on a 32" tv with a 1920x1080 res,
also that monitor has dvi
I have a xbox controller for pc, but a lot of games that I like to play (look at sig) does not support it.
I will have it plugged into tv for movies, but not for internet and gaming

 

[T345]

CozI have llano i can do dual graphics, but it is not very good, 6670 + 6530D = 6690D2 or sumthing and its not as good as 6850
also what do u mean by 'ill point this to hono so i dont confuse urself.'

 

[T345]

no, sorry i dont mean that,
also i know about dual graphics, (my post above)
but it is rubbish, like u said
i will get 460 550w ocz and 4gb more ram,
