sad....here all GS user? =.=" nobody still using reference card like me?

should b fine...oc it a bit..@leh teck,anything o_O

Aiyo, typo just now. What I meant was, real power 450w isn't a "true power" as in like 450w output and 550w as the input. My PSU although cap ayam, manufacture claim to have a 80% efficiency... and not 50% like what you said. even if it cannot attain 80%, at least also got 70% from what I read from reviews.

the CAT8.9 was finally released.....!!!
btw can i ask what the different between ATI Catalyst™ 8.9 Display Driver for Windows Vista (32 bit)
and ATI Catalyst™ 8.9 Display Driver for Windows Vista (32 bit) - Motherboard/IGP Drivers...???

ATI Catalyst™ 8.9 Display Driver download link:-
ati catalyst 8.9

igp is for integrated graphic card..take the first link then..

for the review on the driver....(yes there is driver review)
visit tweaktown.com

well... correct me if i am wrong...if is 70% means your PSU output is around 385.. where as 450 Real Power is almost 450w right?
60W is a lot of diff

lol guys..i think instead of arguing whether it's real power or not...concentrate on the 12v rails .. it's usually displayed on ur psu...

if it's written there 12V ll 20 A then the power(watt) = 240 (approx as it will fluctuate)

sometimes the manufacturer like CM has 12v ll 18A (stable) hence , power = 216 stable lor

off all things, dont take the overall power seriously.

the most important thing is check the 12v rails.

ps : 12v rails are usually the one used for GC

hehe...not really arguing...
just check PSU is stating
Peak Continuity
+12V1 18A 12A
+12V2 16A 10A

total 264W..

well, even going by railing is not so accurate. i read up somewhere that some psu (cheaper 1) with 3 railings..the 3rd railing tend to b very weak...so it's nothin like true power psu D:

Added on September 18, 2008, 10:47 pmooh yeah, 4850 needs minimum 30a

so i guess 450W Real Power seems ok since got 34A..
i wonder if other hardware use more power will it get from the 12V ?

33A combined, more than enough also. Nevermind ._. I'll go and borrow friend's ST50F and try it out.

[quote=Siu_Keong,Sep 18 2008, 08:49 PM]Do you try the 4850 in your intel rig at ur sugnature there? Can run smooth by using teh 450watt PSU? Thanks 


cant... my intel rig cant support 4850(needs minimum 30A)... need atleast 500w true power... if crossfire need atleast 550w true power to run it...

ic thanks pal. So i definitely go for 4670, wait upgrade PSU only think about 4850 la.

anyway... i tried Hd4670 in crysis... no prob of gaming so far... as for crysis:warhead... my game haven arrive yet... if arrived i'll giv you all review about the game with 4670...

yup very true....cuz multi railing psu doesn't necessary means it's good.. i think best is single railing... CM has a psu that support simultaneous dual railing power....not sure about this...

HI picksickrick, kindly need your help to verify how many power in my PSU 12vrail? And can i use the 4850 GC? thanks.

+3.3v 30A
+5v 30A
+12v1 21A
+12v2 20A
-12v1 1A
+5Vsb 2A

If can, just give me the formula to calculate it, thank again,

There should be somewhere written about your PSU's max amp for the 12v rail when combined though I can say it is definitely above 30A...

The PSU only show me the max power 300watt that combine 2 rails (+12vrail1 and +12vrail1), it din show me any max amp. So can my rig support 4850 or not? Thanks for help.
