Graphics Card that Will Fit My Computer

Mour lies!

you tell em HK! thats not true at all its a preference, but ATI quality is every bit as good. and many techs will tell you they have a longer life span.

Ya I was reading that they dont last as long, but i guess i was wrong. Now im wondering if I wanted a new cpu which one would fit my computer. My computer is a HP M8400F.

doesnt your HP have a phenom quad 9500? what are you looking for? other than a quad that ends in XX50 LOL

ya it has a phenom quad core 9500 but is that any good or should i get something better.

well the ones that ended in xx50 are the ones that had the TLB bug fix, but i suppose you could get a faster quad ie a 9750 or something, but it sounds like a video card might be a more productive option for what you want to do...if i have been understanding your needs.

So your saying my cpu is fine right. Ya i pretty much just want to play GTA4 at really good res, but i plan on playing crysis and call of duty aswell. Now if i get the hd4890 and play on a big screen tv like 52inch will the graphics be better than a ps3.

just wondering my computer is a quad core 2.2 does that mean each core is 2.2ghz a total of 8.8 ghz.

nope.

that would be cool though.

Hi ruff,
it doesn't work that way, those are frequencies and nothing in your quad is running at 8.8Ghz. in theory it can have the effect of a processor running at 8.8, but it is just that...theory. in order for that to happen it would take a process or application that made use of 100% of all four cores at 100% efficiency during the entire execution of the application, which almost never happens in computing.as well as the cores having to communicate with each other.

ok so why do the new laptops that i seen at best buy say intel dual 2 core processors at 2.1 each core a total 4.2 lol sorry for the questions im newb trying to learn a lot about computers and it all started from wanting to play gta 4 lol

hey no problem,
its a marketing gimmick, i have not seen that, im surprised they have the ***** to do that

I have yet to see such bs...but I do think they would do it.

well HK.....certainly not AMD.....:wave:

what's good for the goose... ALL companies are capable of scandalous behavior. At least that's the conclusion I've come to after 60 years. But multiplying the cores? I'd like to see that too. I'd find the manager and call him on it.

Yeah thats one of the more outrageous one i have heard, although i have not seen it myself, I must be really smart luvhuffer!... it took me a mere 44 years to figure that out LOL BTW, i like your day job, where do I put in an application?

I think the guy at best just didnt know what he was talking about. I was also wondering is the hd4890 a loud card because my computer is really quite and i like it that way lol.

That depends on the specific vendor, they all have their own cooling solutions, so round up some reviews and have a read. this one however is known for being very quiet, and sapphire in general is known for having quite cooling solutions.

great deal with phenom quad core 9500
