    Question regarding using Gigabyte HD4850 HDMI output...

    Nothing's wrong with that and it did answer my question, though instead of thanking you I need to ask now if you must be a jerk? Either help and be happy with it, or just STFU.

    Warhammer Online -- HD 4850 or HD 4870?

    The HD4850 manual says it needs minimum 450w for single card and 550w for crossfire setup. I don't know exactly what the HD4870 requires, but I'd say at least 50w-100w more.

    Warhammer Online -- HD 4850 or HD 4870?

    I just got a HD4850 card, it was an amazing upgrade from my 7600GT... A HD4870 will also require a stronger PSU, so you might want to keep that in mind, because it can cost you more than the PSU you were planning to get. For what you described you need your PC for, it seems like the HD4850...

    Question regarding using Gigabyte HD4850 HDMI output...

    Do I need to do anything special to make it send signal through the HDMI out instead of the DVI? and how do I make it output the sound as well so I can then output the sound from my monitor?

    How do I properly remove nVidia drivers from my system?

    I just did the add/remove programs, and didn't use the driver cleaner. I installed the new card and it seems to work fine. Just one issue, futuremark 05 doesn't work.. it gets stuck on splash screen... weird. Now I can't compare my upgrade...

    Must match brand/model for SLI?

    I'm not a big expert and been off the loop for a little while now, but from what I do remember you can't use 2 different brands of the same card for SLI because it will be unstable or something like that, could be sync. problems... So I don't remember the exact reason, but I remember its not...

    MSI HD4850 Vs. Gigabyte 9800GT

    I didn't ask before but can you elaborate a little? I have to say I'm a little affraid of going with ATI, since my last experience with one of their cards wasn't the best (drivers & other fun issues). Also I heard the ATI cards consume much more power, heat more and make more noise? As I...

    MSI HD4850 Vs. Gigabyte 9800GT

    I couldn't find a good review comparing the two :confused: Anyway, where I'm planning to buy the HD4850 costs about $15 (before tax) more, I'm not sure if its worth it, or at all which of the two will make a better selection. Thanks. Edit: Both cards are 512mb.. I can add about $20 and get...
