i was thinking of upgrading my home pc and i was considering eather

1 of the Radeon HD 4850 1GB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16\

Model

Brand GIGABYTE

Model GV-R485OC-1GH

Interface PCI Express 2.0 x16

Chipset Manufacturer ATI

GPU Radeon HD 4850

Core Clock 700MHz

Stream Processors 800 Stream Processing Units

Memory Clock 1920MHz

Memory Size 1GB

Memory Interface 256-bit

Memory Type GDDR3

DirectX DirectX 10.1

OpenGL OpenGL 2.1

or

2 of the Radeon HD 4650 1GB 128-bit GDDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16

 

Model

Brand GIGABYTE

Model GV-R465OC-1GI

Interface PCI Express 2.0 x16

Chipset Manufacturer ATI

GPU Radeon HD 4650

Core Clock 650MHz

Stream Processors 320 Stream Processing Units

Memory Clock 800MHz

Memory Size 1GB

Memory Interface 128-bit

Memory Type GDDR2

DirectX DirectX 10.1

OpenGL OpenGL 2.0

what would you choose (same cost in the end)

i will run auto cad 2009 and inventor 2009 maybe 2010

 

sorry they were mixed up and i fixed it

 

one more thing im running windows 7 rc will i get any other problems or will it run as it was on vista

[Tribunius]

Is it just me or are those two sets of specifications mixed up?

 

If I'm right on that I would go with number 1. Its is the more advanced card and it seems to match up nicely to the specifications of the navida quadro range of cards in that price range.

[tzframpton]

Tribunius is right. However, those are "gaming" cards. You want a "workstation" card, using OpenGL extensions built more for CAD Programs, etc.... for AMD product search the FireGL series.

but out of those 2 what would be the best to run auto cad and inventor the 1 of the 4850 or 2 of the 4650

[tzframpton]

well obviously the 4850 by spec alone. But you won't see me wasting money on a gaming card for a CAD app.

[MichaelB]

well my main use of the power is gaming but i just want to make sure it will run auto cad

[tzframpton]

yes they will work just fine.

[kevinp]

I would get the HD4770 over the 4850 because of its lower cost and nearly identical performance.

[Tankman]

Either would work but, do you need a gaming video card?

 

I find AutoCAD my game. I leave gaming, bang, bang, up to the youngsters.

 

A workstation desktop or laptop would be my choice.

[ReMark]

If you are a hard core gamer then stick with the gaming card (Radeon vs. FireGL). It can handle the CAD side suitably well but not perfect.

First card has a memory bandwidth of 61Gb/s.

 

2nd Card, 25Gb/s.
