Hi,

I want to get a Gainward 4850, will a Coolermaster Extreme 550w run it well?

well currently someone is running it with Coolermaster Real Power 450W no problem...intend to try out with my pc as well...so there should be no problem for you..

Is there a difference between the 2 power supplies? I remeber someone mention that Extreme and Real are different in some way.
I might just go for the 4850 GS instead.

Real Power means it can draw the power almost that PSU watts it stated ... as for Extreme is below the stated...is around 80%-90% of the watts stated

How well can you play crysis on this?

for the first Crysis, perhaps you can go to high settings. for crysis warhead, only at medium settings.

well is depend on what is the resolution you are using....

1440x900 is the highest i will ever go for any game, guessing that might be okay in some way.

yeah, i am on 1680x1050 anyway, if you're asking.

Im also very interested on the CM550w extreme power sufficient enough or not
(planning to buy a 550w or 650w,both extreme power)

Juz asked my bro to ordered a 4850GS,will be reached on my hand this friday, never felt 5 days is so long

welcome to Gaiward club...

Wow so warm this club!

thx Bro

what's your system's specs anyway?

i think it will take more than 5 days considering raya is just around the corner.

E8400(planning OC to 4.0Ghz), asus p5Q motherboard , 4Gb performance ram, single card 4850gs, 4-5 fans with CMgemini-s 2 cooler, 550w or 650w CM extreme power.(New rig now waiting juz for the card)

Nice to heard that(I like Crysis and GOW pretty much)

Err,did all New batch 4850GS card come with nickel plated or sliver coloured heat pipe?

should b just fine..gonna try crysis warhead soon =_=...

well every Unreal 3 engine game not gonna trouble any recent gc.
gear of war will run fine on ur rig.

Hi bro, will be appreciate that you let me know as well, if Coolermaster Real Power 450W can run well then my acbel also can. Will consider to change if 4670 no enough for me. Currently got try to run Sapphire 4850 toxic card no problem, will borrow my fren card and stress test again. Just wondering is the Gainward 4850GS need more power or the Sapphire 4850 toxic need more, anyone had tested it?
