bloa2 Posted April 5, 2010 Author Share Posted April 5, 2010 Was just wondering is a "SAPPHIRE ATI HD 4670 PCI-E Graphics Card" the same as "ATI HD 4670 PCI-E Graphics Card "?Because on this website, http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/sapphire-ati-hd-4670-pci-e-graphics-card-03758043-pdt.html it says its a sapphire but, in the description it's not.

_frost_ Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 it's the same gpu but maybe another speed-set or something like thatlook at "http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/" - perhaps you'll find there answers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloa2 Posted April 5, 2010 Author Share Posted April 5, 2010 Also on the review it says: Anonymous confirmed purchaser Good Points: Good value for money.Bad Points: Fans. They can add a bit of noise and tend go seize up after a while I prefer heat sinks. I hope it doesn't suddenly crash... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_frost_ Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 as i've said - best way is (at least) to buy the graphics-card as new-ware if you buy 2'nd hand maybe the previous owner had overclocked the graphics-card and that could damaged the hardware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloa2 Posted April 5, 2010 Author Share Posted April 5, 2010 Yep, i'm going to buy it brand new, but i just thought of something, will i need a new monitor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_frost_ Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 no - only if you want to play games in higher resolution and better qualitymy 4670 has two dvi-interfaces - you may need an adapter (don't know the english word sorry)don't worry - it won't cost much and if i think right... the adapter is included (with your graphics-card) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_frost_ Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 (edited) you're welcome :).cu i've forgotten to say : you maybe have to change your bios-setting. your current system starts with the internal graphics-card.if you install the new one then you'll perhaps have to change the pci-express card to be the first video-device (this prevent the bios to look first for the internal-card and then to look for your new card- this will decrease the time for booting).my suggestion is (if bios doesn't change the settings automatically) 1. change pci-express to 1 video-device2. diable internal graphics-card So, i think that was it :).bye Edited April 5, 2010 by _frost_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
