Msi Ati Hd4350 512mb Ddr2

[mike_san]

Hey guys i'm new on the forum so be patient!:)

Well i got a Nvidia Foxconn 256mb 7300Gs video Card(i know its too old!!!), before this nvidia,i had a 79000GT gddr3 512mb, but it crash,i really dont know why,she was working so great, i was playing Devil May Cry 4 and BOOM!!, my pc gone off,well i though it was a low power,but i start my pc again, and didnt appear nothing on my pc,i thought it burn it out!!, but i was testing the components,and seens to be all clear, until i figure it out it was my video card.too much drama

Well i bought this one(7300) because my motherboard doesnt have a integrate video card, so i just have to buy some crap just to use the pc and later buy something new and cool.

Somebody told me this MSI ati hd3450 its a really cool video card, and i can play almost all with it.

I just wanna know if i can run World of Warcraft,Aion,Bioshock.NFS-Shift-undercover with it, or is there anything better then this, i'm out of money, but i want quality to my games and a better resolution but not then cheaper and not that expensive


Thanks

Regards Mike

a nvidia
Nvidia 9600 GT would be a good choice
ATI 4670

that 3450 ati would not be more powerful than what you have now


depends on your budget and where you are buying from

^ this gets a +1 from me well i also recommend the hd 5570, 9600gso/gt230 and gt240 (especially the one from inno 3d which owns)
the hd 4350 is a rebranded hd 2400xt.. its a fact.

Thanks Guys for your responses, but i'm from Venezuelan, so its pretty expensive the 9600 cost around 500$ USD, the 4350 around 180$, i'm just saying if that a good card or better then 7300 that i've got?, 7300 even run Wow on 1024, just 800x600, i just saw a video on youtube, someguy use the 4350 to run Dirt 2 and GTA IV, i dont know if it "bull--",

Other thing, i just read the 4350 1gb isnt entired real it is 1gb, somebody told me is shared with the virtual memory.

Thanks Guys

[ultima]

well i see that being possible.

he does say around 20 FPS


i did some more searching and the 4350 will be faster
than your 7300 gs

about 2 to 2 and a half times faster


other video cards to look at

4550
9500 gt

the place you are buying from.
do they have a website ?

if i was not going away for a trip tomorrow. i would
talk to you about my 4670. i am not sure how much shipping would be though.

[mike_san]

I guess you have a msn, pm me with it, to talk about it, uhmm i'm buying it from mercadolibre, its like ebay, i did seach and the 4550 cost around 400$, too much expensive for me :/, i'm just lf quality just to play online games and some olders games, not mass effect 2 or final fantasy, just a great video graphic card i can hold my pc with it

Thanks Regards

Well, the 4350 isn't great by any stretch of the imagination. Have you looked into the previous generation of cards? If they're still selling the HD3xxx or geforce 8 series over there they might be cheaper.

A HD2600xt, HD3650, or geforce 8600gt would perform better than the 4350. The higher the second number in the name is is usually the higher the performance level of a card in a series.

[mike_san]

Hey guys thanks for your responses

I just take a look in mercadolibre about the Hd 3650 Pci-e 512 Mb(sapphire), it cost 5$ more then 4350, i think i can go for it, if this is better Card,here what it says at the information they give.

- 512 MB de RAM
- Interfaz de Memoria de 128 Bits
- Velocidad de Reloj y nucleo de 500 y 700 MHz
- Bus PCI-E 2.0 x16 soportado

- Teconologia ATI CrossFireX de Multi-GPU´s

I know its spanish but you know what it says.

Yes, I deleted some of your posts because you were trying to get people to come read
your thread.

But, I am also going to answer your question here so that you don't need to do that
anymore.

Check out this page (http://www.gpureview.com/show_cards.php?card1=585&card2=554). The HD 3650 has faster fill rates, more bandwidth and more FLOPS
than the HD 4350, so that means that the HD 3650 is faster.

I hope that helps.

I love you,

Hi guys,
Why not get a HD 4650, this card is better than 3650 and consumes less power,
48 watts vs 75 watts, I think. And also can future proof you at some point. Combine this with ATI's 785G. Bamm! you have a hybrid crossfire.

[Radiator]

That hybrid crossfire wont get you much ( if anything tangible at all ) ,though .

[H4rbr1ng3r]

Hi again guys, I think 4650/4670 would be a better choice than 4350, and 3650. What I'm saying is that HD 4600s will not rob your system of power (HD4650-48watts) and yet can play most games with decent F/s. I played Crysis with 4650 in mainstream setting. Crysis Warhead, Left 4 dead 1 & 2, CODWAW with no hiccups. Then again, Hybrid or not it is still a good video card.

Since mike_san uses MSI K9N Platinum, you can go with GF 8000 series. Peace!!!:)

[Radiator]

As long as a motherboard has a PCI-e x16 bus , it can use a GeForce 8*** series card ... so I fail to see the point of the last sentence .

Core clock and Memory Bandwidth are better the 3650 but yeah the 4650 are pretty cold but where i live it cost like 50$ USD more :/

Like i say its pretty expensive

Edit: a friend its getting a new motherboard so he saw this one Ecs A780gm-a Black , i dont know about this motherboards the company ECS it sounds pretty chinese to me, anyone of you guys heard of this "ECS"?

Thanks

[H4rbr1ng3r]

HI again. I'm currently using that kind of motherboard. ECS 780GM-A V1.1 Black Edition. it has integrated gpu, is okay. You can play Left for Dead 1 at low settings. Just install 3gig - 4 gig of memory. You'll know why. And its Taiwan made like all major motherboard brands.

[-RK]

ECS does just fine. I wouldn't expect anything top of the line, but they've been fairly reliable in the standard desktop systems I've installed them in.


And yes, the 4650/4670 would be a better choice, but the pricing on new(ish) cards is an issue in this case.
