Need Video Card Recommendation | ||
| WPlotkin posted 2009 Oct 30 07:44 | ||
| I currently have this Abit Motorboard with the integrated ATI Radeon™ Xpress 1250. It works ok but I have started watching a lot of Blu-ray movies and think the video quality could be better.
I'm thinking about buying one of these cards. http://www.productwiki.com/ati-radeon-hd-4650/ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102819 Can some recommend something better then these video cards for around the $100 range or is this my best option? I need to video card to have on board audio processing as well. Thanks. | ||

if $100 is you upper limit (which quite frankly buys you a more than decent video card these days) then you may want to go a touch more upscale than the 4650 and get the 4670: http://hothardware.com/Articles/ATI-Radeon-HD-4670-Redefining-The-Mainstream/ it has everything you specify you want and then some. | ||

| Does the ATI Radeon HD 4670 come with the DVI-2-HDMI adapter? Has anyone used an ATI card with this adapter does it work just as good as having it intergated to video card? | ||

| The video cards don't come with a DVI to HDMI adapter. Just pick up one those up from www.monoprice.com since they're very cheap. I bought one from them and it works well.
Gigabyte ATI HD 4350 w/HDMI, $34.99 (MIR card $24.99) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125251 I use that Gigabyte video card with my E8400 system and it's hooked up to my 40inch LCD TV. It's a great inexpensive video card. If you game then get a ATI 4670 video card. HIS H467QS1GH Radeon HD 4670, $74.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161287 |
