computerwizkid Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 But will it fry my psu?If there is a risk,then im not getting it.I'll get the 4550 instead since it has the same psu requirement as my current card,the 3450. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenskas Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 If you don't have more than one hard drive and optical drive, as well as no extra cards like sound and LAN (they are built in), and your CPU is not a quad core, then going to a 4650 or 9500GT will probably work with your current PSU as they only use another 20-25W or so.

Zenskas Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 I would say going up to a 4650 or 9500GT would work fine and offer triple the performance (over a HD 4550-which is not a whole lot faster than what you already have). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
computerwizkid Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 Sure I'll Get The 4650.Are You Sure It Will Work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_block Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 (edited) isnt the 9500 a crappy card ? i think the 9600 is supposed to be betterwhile space for fitting the card is one thing, do you have proper cooling for your system because over heating is going to have fun with you Edited July 18, 2009 by D_block Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenskas Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 (edited) Sure I'll Get The 4650.Are You Sure It Will Work?Yep it will work in your PC but make sure you get a low profile one. It does not need another power connector from the PSU either, which shows it doesn't use much power.isnt the 9500 a crappy card ? i think the 9600 is supposed to be betterwhile space for fitting the card is one thing, do you have proper cooling for your system because over heating is going to have fun with youWhile the 9500GT is half as powerful as the 9600GT it is a whole lot better than what he has and sucks less power than a 9600GT. Looks like he will get a HD 4650 though. Low power cards like these aren't going to produce much extra heat either.

computerwizkid Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 (edited) so,this will work?http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814102829also when i remove the old card,how can i store it so it won't be damaged?

beats Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 It should work. Keep your old one in the anti-static bag and the box that your new one ships in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
computerwizkid Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 I gotta say THANK YOU! to everyone who has helped me with this.@beats:Anti-static bag?what's that?hopefully i don't sound like a total noob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenskas Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 (edited) That card is very nice and has a decent fan so hopefully won't overheat. An anti-static bag helps protect computer parts from static electricity which can damage them. The new card will come with an anti-static bag so you can put your old card in that. I wish graphics cards were that cheap here in Australia! That card would cost me $90 over here. Also just read a few user reviews of that card you posted on Newegg and one comment said it worked in their Dell Vostro 200 Slimline case with just a 275W PSU. Another customer said it worked in their slim HP case with just a 160W PSU! So I don't think power will be an issue thankfully Edited July 18, 2009 by Zenskas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeFiend Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 I wish graphics cards were that cheap here in Australia! That card would cost me $90 over here.That's not even impressive, not even a deal, that's everyday prices I got a passively cooled 4670 for like $5 more (not a low profile card though -- no use for one). For $90 USD ($100 CAD at today's rate) here you could get a 4850 or a 9800GT.Just sayin' ...Anyhow. That 4650 is a decent choice for sure. Great for playing HD stuff too.

Great for playing HD stuff too.Yeah will be much faster than a 4550. I know, Australia sucks for PC parts. Cheapest price for a 9800GT round here is about $140 if your lucky. My CPU goes for about $160 on the cheapest online shops here. My 9600GT cost me $150 late last year. Oh and in local shops in town the 9600GSO was $190 while I was looking for parts to build the PC in my sig.

Zenskas Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Yep I got COD4. But live in Australia so ping would be high. Its only $55 so it shouldn't be too hard to convince your parents I hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
