QUOTE(TheTraffic @ Jan 8 2008, 09:17 PM) do i need to upgrade it to 5200+? i heard ppl said that i need 600W. is that so? how about intel that is equivalent to 5000+/5200+? to be safe get 2.7ghz (5200+) and 560w, gigabyte odin 550 or silverstone st56f. you should be fine.

QUOTE(Kameshikarin @ Jan 9 2008, 07:50 PM) I'm having a problem with my Sapphire HD3850. Everytime I turn on anti-aliasing, the game crashes (any game), even after changing the AA setting in the control center. Does anyone know what is the problem? Did you OC, some people have that issue when you OC or push your GPU. And maybe is the PSU is not supplying enough power.

QUOTE(frags @ Jan 9 2008, 10:15 PM) If your games work without AA i doubt its an issue with the PSU. Try disabling adaptive anti aliasing in CCC. And you can download Everest and post your voltage and temps idle and load. http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4181It happens to me when I push the card OC around 870 core. Everything went well except when you run AA. I beleive with this setting on it pushes the GPU harder voltage increases and strain the card. What user can do is download your card and try again. See what happens. Same like 2900xt, psu cant cope up the gpu downclock itself. This post has been edited by DevilMan: Jan 9 2008, 11:48 PM

QUOTE(Kameshikarin @ Jan 10 2008, 01:19 AM) adaptive anti aliasing was disabled, everything is actually on default setting. I'll get Everest later and post the results. So you're saying it is the psu? my card has always been on default clock speed. yep think so. try to downlock to lower speed and see stability and run AA.

QUOTE(Kameshikarin @ Jan 13 2008, 12:42 PM) The Sapphire HD3850 256MB and 512MB version has different cooling. Which cooling method is better? The passive cooling or the heatsink fan one? QUOTE(TheTraffic @ Jan 13 2008, 12:46 PM) I got these msges from guru3d.com forum Added on January 13, 2008, 12:48 pm"The 8800gt is by far a superior card and heck if you like aa/af eyecandy then forget the ati it falls on it's face. Personally I think the new ati cards are garbage because of the piss poor performance when aa/af are used which for me is a must I love nice graphics." http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=248268 Added on January 13, 2008, 12:54 pmI not looking into changing it to a 3rd party heatsink and i dont mind the small heatsink/ loud fan. Just as long as it doesnt has any heat prob/stability then it is okay for me... Thats very bias comment, used to test 8800gt and bro test and its crap. He himself tested asus, zotac, galaxy 8800gt and he still prefer 2900xt and 3870. This post has been edited by DevilMan: Jan 13 2008, 04:50 PM
