I'm looking to buy a new video card, but I have some questions.
Hey so I'm looking to upgrade my video card to play Crysis 3, just finished Tomb Raider and noticed my card is quite out of date, had to dial down a couple of the high end settings to get it to run at 40fps, no fancy hair, no tessellation, no high precision, everything else maxed out fine though. Radeon 5850/core i7/12gig… -

definatly stick with Nvidia. I made the error of going for ATI, and so far, realtimeshaders in maya do not work at all, I have had a bug with PS cs6 wich made it a pain to work in unless I turned off some thing in the preferences. if you do still want to for the ati, maybe have a look at the XT/tahiti LE version of the… -

Okay, looking into getting a new power supply and geforce card, how do I tell what the comparable geforce card is to the radeon 7870. -

I did a quick google about dell power supplies and it looks like they stopped doing that. You should be good with an off the shelf PSU. Depending on the cable routing, swapping a power supply can be a pain. -

1) the cards are downward compatible, it's unlikely that you benefit from PCIEx3 unless you do heavy video editing, or are into oil & gas bizness ;) 2) the watts it outputs is printed on it, or you look up the name of it and find specs online. 450-500 should be okay, depends on how much stuff you have in your PC.

you might not be able to swap power supplies on the dell. The last time I tried to swap power supplies on a dell I found a proprietary power plug on the motherboard. You can plug your parts into this power supply calculator to get some idea of what you can expect from the current PSU:… -

Thanks Alec, I am probably going to drop my box off at ncix here in Vancouver and let them deal with the install, it looks like the min system spec for gtx 660 is 450 so I guess I should put in a 600 watt just to be safe. Best Buy has a reasonable price on the regular gtx 660 so I think I will buy it from them it's 70… -

475 watts is sure on the lower end, but if you don't get a dual-gpu or high end GTX, it should be okay. Also I can second what the others are saying: DO NOT get an AMD/ATI card if you want to work with Maya. Nvidia is the way to go! :D -
