Please somebody tell me what is the lowest price for msi HD 6850 and a suitable psu.Will zebronics 500 w be able to handle it perfectly?


Will running the gpu on pci express x16 v 1.1 affect its speed and performance?

price ranges from 9.5k to 10k depending upon different brands
and your PSU wont be a good choice for this one
better change it to FSP saga II 500W @ 2k at least

nd no..you wont see any noticeable change of performance on 1.1

Re: Amd 6850

A quad core will give you decent boost in latest games. But like I posted in your other thread, wait for new Bulldozer processors.

Update to the latest AMD Catalyst 11.5a driver to see whether bluescreen ends or not.

Another cause of bluescreen might be your PSU not able to give enough power. There are much much much better PSU companies than Zebronics namely Corsair and Seasonic.

What Operating system you are using..XP or windows 7?. Check if this problem is coming in other games or not.
