How much is shipping ? Mine was $0.
I'm happy with my purchase of what i felt was worth the price in my
town.I got a $90 tax rebate towards it.OH Canada.
Don't be surprised if the cd install isn't working right.
I just installed the XP drivers and the ATI newest driver only download.
I'm not installing the Catalyst Control Panel or Software.
 
I agree on the CCC, I used to have two X1900s in Crossfire and it used to be a pain configuring them properly in CCC. I used ATiTray instead and it used to be better. NVIDIA's Control Panel is more streamlined though and I like it better. Their Vista drivers are still not as good as ATI's though.
 
well..i am nt sure..is dere any good graphic card dat can match my PSU?..
and wat will happen to my CPU if i use POWERCOLOUR X1650 PRO DDR2 256MB on my current PSU?
 
As I told you before, your PSU will get overloaded and may blow, taking other components with it. So you need to upgrade that before thinking of upgrading the video card. Also, don't expect people to reply instantly, since this is a tech forum and people have lives outside of the ones they spend here. You just need to be more patient.
 
oh..oki..so is dere any good graphic card tat can support mine PSU currently?..
i am sorry abt de rush coz i really donno wat to do..my PSU was just change recently wif my motherboard and now i gotta change my PSU again..

Can your PSU support the graphic card and all your other components ?
I can't locate what your current PSU is now.
The minimum PSU (Power Supply) for any "computer" is 350 watt.It's used for more then just your graphics card.
 
zipperman is right. FaithlessX, what is the wattage of your PSU i.e. it should give you a number like 300W, so what's the one on yours?
 
ok tis is wat i got from mine PSU cover
combined power on +3v and +5v rails not exceed 130w
combined power on +21v1 and +12v2 rails not exceed 20A
At ambient 25 degree total output power shall not exceed 300W
At ambient 50 degree total output power shall not exceed 270W
 
You'd do okay with a 7600GS or a 7300GT GDDR3 then IMO. It pulls less power than the X1650PRO so it's a safer bet than putting the X1650PRO in ur PC and having BSODs or a dead PSU in the end.

Try this test.it's very up to date.
I got a reading of 355 and have 500.

:cool:

i tried de test..it recommanded 243w for 7600GS and 240w for 7300GT and are both card better den Radeon 9250, GeForce Ti?

i did some reseach..dere are 2 type of 7600GS..first is Inno3DNVIDIA 7600GS and XpertVision 7600GS..dere are also 2 type of 7300GT its Inno3DNVIDIA 7300GT and XpertVision 7300GT..so which 1 do i choose??
 
The 7600GS would be the best fit in this case. Try to find the Inno 3DNVIDIA 7600G version with DDR3 if you can becuase the memory is faster than DDR2. You will need to uninstall your old video software driver, then disable your onboard video chip in your motherboard's BIOS and then install the new video card and its driver.
 
oh..oki..thx for all the help guys..den i guess i will get de 7600GS
so i disable my onboard video chip at my motherboard BIOS? and nt control panel?..
 
I doubt that. The X1650PRO would need at least 20A to run properly, so I wouldn't risk it. The 7600GS performs about the same though, so don't worry about it.
 
but i can't go back to my BIOS anymore..now when i switch on the comp..my monitor show nothing and my CPU produce a beeping sound..so wat do i do?
