buying new computer help plzzzzz

It's not an old card, but it was only ever designed to be midrange. It's a direct replacement for the 8800GT. nVidia's new architecture is the GTX260 and GTX280, but the HD4870X2 still beats them both.

 

can tell me anything below HD4870X2??

Intel Core i7-940 Processor
Intel X58 Chipset Motherboard
6GB 1600MHz System Memory
NVIDIA GTX 295 Video Card

can you compare tis to your current one?? whcih one is better??

 

nvm bout the first sentence my bad.

 

The Core i7 is a faster CPU, but in most applications you will never notice the difference, and it costs loads more than a Core 2 Quad system.
I never recommend the GTX295 as when games don't need it's full power you may as well use a slower card, and when they do, it's lack of memory means its performance is terrible, the HD4870X2 is much more effective when games get demanding.

 

the processor you recomend is how many GHZ??

 

2.833, but don't look into that too much, there's far more to a processor than it's clock speed.

 

and can you reccomand anything to improve internet conection for gaming??if there is anything like tat cause i have a 3mb modem but my game lag when i ply the internet duno wats the problem.

 

That mostly depends on the ISP. Lag in games is caused by high connection latency - primarily caused by downloading while playing games, or the ISP providing a poor service. If the latter is the case, the only real solution will be to change internet provider.

However, even with a good ISP you will get high connection latency if the servers are a long distance away.

 

so it has nothing to do wit my current computer????very old by the way-.-or grahic card ram anything???

 

Gigabyte X48T-DQ6 Motherboard

does it support 2 garhic card??? seems to have 2 PCI.

 

Well, it depends what you mean by lag. The only way to tell for sure is to see if it goes away with a new PC...

The X48T-DQ6 does indeed support two graphics cards, but remember the HD4870X2 is already two graphics cards in one.

 

ok

3.0ghz duno whcih one
Gigabyte X48T-DQ6 Motherboard
2x2GB Corsair XMS2 PC2-8500 DOMINATOR DDR2 RAM
500gb duno whcih one
LG GH-22NS30 22x S-ATA DVD+/-RW Drive/ dvd burner
2/ 9800gtx+
Corsair HX 620W Modular Power Supply
NZXT Tempest Case

is tis ok how much would tis cost??

 

My mistake, I posted you the Q9650, that is already a 3Ghz chip.

Two 9800GTX+ cards are
a) still much slower than the HD4870X2 I posted
b) not compatible with that board. You can only use two ATI cards with an intel chipset. SLI is not supported.

 

how bout 2 9600gso???kinda cheap a affordable since there a mother board which can have 2 grahic cards must as well get 2 grahic cards.

 

As I said, the X48T-DQ6 can't take two graphics cards. Now we've gone even further down the scale, the 9600GSO is a cheap budget card. Two 9600GSOs are even worse. Why not just use the spec I posted you before? If you need to lower the price then say so, and I will adjust it properly.

Oh, by the way, just because a motherboard CAN use two graphics does NOT mean you have to use two. It's just an option.

 

yes i noe since heres a 2nd slot must as well feel it up i noe Sapphire HD4870x2 is gd but just wondering if theres any 2 other grahic cards which i caould compare it against Sapphire HD4870x2.

thought i wish i could have another Sapphire HD4870x2

 

The only thing that compares to the HD4870X2 is the GTX295, or two GTX260s in SLI. Both suffer the drawback I mentioned, at the highest detail settings their performance drops hugely. To beat the HD4870X2 you would either need to use three or four ATI GPUs (adding either an extra HD4870, or adding another HD4870X2) or use two GTX280s (or GTX285s) in SLI.
The former is certainly doable if you have the money, but completely unnecessary unless you use a 30" monitor, because one HD4870X2 will be plenty otherwise. The latter costs far more, requires a dodgy nvidia board to run SLI, and doesn't really get you much more performance.

 

ermm can help me check for tis
GA-MA78GM-US2H
INTEL CORE2 3.0GHZ 1333MHZ.6MB
KINGSTON4GB TO 8GB
22XDVD DVD .INTERNEL BURNER
650W POWER SUPPLY
HD48701GB OR 512 BETTER??
770MHZ(1GB) 780MHZ(512)
1800MHZ 1900MHZ

 

That's an AMD motherboard with an Intel CPU. That won't work. Use an GA-EP45-UD3R for the motherboard instead.
Get an XFX Radeon HD4870 1GB XXX Edition, Corsair RAM instead of Kingston.
Also I'd recommend a Corsair HX 520W PSU. 650W isn't really necessary, but a good quality unit is.

 

any gd amd processsr to intro then all the amd processer doesnt put any ghz so i cant understand.....any 3.0ghx 1333 8mb at least???
