Hi guys,
I guys i have decided to buy gfx card for 15k max.....
I've crossfire support in my mobo (MSI 790 gx) and procc -phenom II 955...
My two options are
1. 2 X hd4770
2. 2 X hd4850

I m using Tagan 500w u-37. . .it'll be enough for either of these 2 cards right ??? Please post in ur comments . . will be buying the cards 2morrow itself....

thanks in advance..

GTX275 X1
or
HD4890 X1

^^ but the performnce 2 X hd770 is much greater than 4890/gtx275 right??? that too at a lower cost...
in some forum i saw 2 X 4770 equalled with gtx 280

4770 in CF.. uses less power.. and pwns most of the high end cards.. moreover costs less..

^^ So 2 X 4770 > 2 X 4850 > hd4890/gtx275 right ???

Yup, get 2xHD4770..
X-Fire of HD4850 isn't a good choice coz it tends to run hot and need more power .

Also the same with GTS250? GTS250 SLi pawns most of the cards within 15k.....

^^ Thanks rajkumar_pb . . .
Now, going for hd4770 X2 . . but can't go for gts250 sli ( no sli support in my mobo) ...
and this is the final round-up question . . .

Should i go for
1. MSI hd4770 - 7.2k
2. XFX hd4770 - 8.5k
Both of the specs looks the same....

Go for MSI one. Both looks same in spec and MSI one looks more VFM.

Thanks a lot again..!!!

Your hitting the sweet spot for price + performance..XFiring the 4770s.

Just keep a tight watch on temperatures and power consumption. Though with your PSU you should be good to go.
