im orderin a gfx card 2moro and i was recommended to buy this one http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-064-OK&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=404 i was wonderin if either of these other 2 compare to the x1950. they are http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-112-LT&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=912 and http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-047-BG&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=912 also would there be much difference if there not as good
The X1950 Pro performs far better. However, it is an OEM (OcUK don't make graphics cards, they've just put their name on it) card. There have been huge problems reported with OEM X1950Pros, get a proper Sapphire one instead, like this http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo.asp?WebProductID=521951
thx fir the info, can sum1 tell me if this site http://www.scan.co.uk is a good one and trustworthy, dont wanna get ripped
It's far more reputable than overclockers. In the past year or so OcUK's customer service has taken a definite turn for the worse. I usually steer people away from them, let alone recommend them. People claim they have had bad experiences with Scan in the past, but I can honestly say of the 10 or so orders I've placed with them over the years I've not had any major problems.
thanks for the info, ive orderd my gfx card from there and i orderd my cpu from there too. cant wait to get them now an be able to play some games, cos ive got very very crap onboard gfx lol.
Now hold on a minute, what power supply do you have? If it's a standard prebuilt PC you're adding these to, the power supply will be woefully inefficient and it will be unsafe to add these components, let alone unwise.
yeah ive got a crap power supply as mine was prebuilt, im gettin one next week, as my gfx card an cpu are xmas pressie off my parents, so ive gotta fork out for a psu. gettin one on wednesday, hopefully my other items should arive by then
Ok, but just remember. DO NOT under any circumstances install the new components before you have a better, high quality power supply. Make sure you get a decent one (Enermax, Tagan, OCZ, Seasonic, Corsair etc.)
got my stuff today from scan.co.uk, very good service from them. got a psu as well. ive put my gfx card in and all is good, its huge as well lol. getting my cpu fitted 2moro by a freind as thats the only thing i cant do, as ive never done it before an dont wanna mess anythin up. thx for the help
Which PSU do you get? (Don't turn the PC on until it has the approval of us here. Some power supplies can cause ireeparable damage as soon as you turn the PC on)
