Hi guys, just wanted to share this guide I made from PCExperts Smile

This guide is for video cards that should be avoided for the poor performance given their prices.
Conversion Rate: $1 US dollar = PhP 48 pesos (for those viewing this internationally)

NOTE: This guide is based on the assumption that the video cards are priced at MSRP. It will now be entirely up to you if you would want to buy an Inno3d GTX295 for 25,000 or an XFX GTX295 for 30,000, or if you would want to buy a special edition or overclocked version of a particular card (I.E, Palit's Sonic or Inno3D's Ichill)




I. Video Card Reference List (VCRL)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For reference on the specs of the video cards, refer to these:
Nvidia - from pre geforce diamond edge/tnt2 up until GTX295
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_NVIDIA_Graphics_Processing_Units

ATI - from Radeon 74/7000 up until HD4870 X2
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_ATI_Graphics_Processing_Units

II. Video Card AVOID List (VCAL)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These are mostly based on PC EXPRESS and various tipidpc sellers' price lists.
AVOID THE FOLLOWING:
i. PCI
well actually, you only have the MX440, FX5200 and FX5500 to contend with.. and ALL of them should be avoided because they are overpriced and perform poorly compared to AGP and PCI-E cards of the same price

ii. AGP 2/4/8X
ATI
Radeon 7000 = really really really old. did i say it's really old?
Radeon 9200/9250 = DirectX 8 pa to.
X700/9550SE/9550ULTRA/9550pro = very slow and very old. Unless the most graphically intensive game you're gonna play is DOTA, avoid.
9600XT = A 7600GS AGP for 4k is even faster than a 9800XT in Crossfire! (if ever there is one -which of course there isn't ) hehehe
9700Pro/9800Pro/9800XT - A 7300GTDDR3 will beat the crap out of these old school "monsters"
X1300pro = Being similarly priced as its bigger X1600 bretheren, and bested by its Nvidia competitor the 7300GT, this overpriced card is not a good deal.


NVIDIA
Geforce 2 MX400/Geforce 4 MX4000/MX440 etc.. = old outdated technology and sometimes overpriced. AVOID at all costs. Geforce4 MX440 is just a Geforce 2 MX400 on steroids. Don't be deceived.
Geforce 3 Ti300/500 = Magmano kayo when you see these because they should have been buried a long time ago. Still if you see a used one selling for only around 300 bucks, then it's a steal Smile
Geforce 4 Ti4200/4400/4600/4800 = Once king of the hill 5 years ago is no longer an option to buy..Even for second hand.
Geforce FX5200/5500/5600/5700/5800/5900 = many people fall for this especially the 5200... poor shader performance, and very deceiving despite their costs. (many people will think.. ok na to geforce 5 naman eh. WRONG.)
Geforce 6600 series = these older gen cards should have died along with its 5 series predecessors. If you really need to have one of these, make sure to stay away from the "LE" ones.
Geforce 7600 512mb DDR2 = This is marketing at its best, giving people delusions of greater speed with 512megs of memory. But the truth is, the 7600 128bit architecture won't be able to fully use this to its advantage, making it just the same speed with the 256mb version. Get that instead.


iii. PCI-Express 1.0/2.0
ATI
X300/X550/X700/X700Pro = very old and very slow. period.
X1300hi mem/X1300 = also old and slow.
X1300PRO = "No Thank you. For the same price, im way faster than you!" - 7300GT DDR3
X1550 = this is an X1300 on steroids.
X1600PRO/X1600XT = the newer HD3xxxs are out and for the same price
X1650XT = Now that the affordable 8500/8600 series has come, i dont see any reason to buy this.
X800GTO/X800GT - SM2.0 lang, getting old narin because it's twice more expensive and just a bit faster (the GTO) than a 7300GT ddr3.. the X800GT is even slower.
X800XL/X800XT/X850XT = Thankfully nobody's selling these anymore! If you see one, they're not worth any more than 1.5k Smile
X1800XT 512MB = its more expensive yet slower than an X1900XT 256/512mb. also try to avoid any other X1800 series of cards as newer, faster and cheaper alternatives are already out
X1900XTX / X1950XTX = Yup the HD4850 is twice faster and will eat this alive. not worth any more than 3.5k second hand.
HD2900 XT = Power hungry, and needs a big *ss power supply. It's performance is also not too inspiring. I'd get the HD4830 or the 9800GT, both of which are faster and cheaper....and consume less power.
HD2400 and HD2600 = No. Just no.
HD3450 and 3650 DDR2 version = The 3450 is simply pathetic. The 3650 however shows it can be faster than an 8600GT given that it has gDDR3 memory. So avoid the DDR2 version.
HD3850 = Unless you can source one for around 3k, then this card would be overpriced.
HD3870 gDDR3/gDDR4 The 4670 and the 4830 have now replaced this card, and should be priced no more than 4k brand new or second hand.
HD4870X2 = OH YES. As of March 12, the 4870X2 remains equally priced to the GTX295 (locally) even if the GTX295 beats it hands down. This does not help the fact that the X2 is still being plagued by poor driver support in some games. So unless prices come down to around 21k, avoid.


NVIDIA
Geforce 6200/6500/6600LE = They shouldn't be selling these anymore!
Geforce 6600/6600OC/6600GT/6800XT = these were once the best performing cards for their price, but the 9500gt ddr3 now trumps all these for only 2.8k!!!
Geforce 6800/6800GT/6800ULTRA = The fastest of the 6 series back then is now 4 generations old... don't buy these unless given at a low 2nd hand price(<2k) since even a simple 7600GT/8600GT is FASTER than a 6800Ultra and beats the crap out of the 6800GT....no wait I don't think i gave it enough justice. A single 8600GT/7600GT is FASTER than TWO 6800GTs in SLI! Surprised
Geforce 7100GS = oooh you can SLI this thing! but who cares? unless you need a simple GPU then stay away from this!
Geforce 7300LE = Again, the 9500GT is here.
Geforce 7300GT DDR2 / 7300GT DDR3 = DX10 is here and so is the 9500GT priced the same as the 7300GT DDR3 in some stores. The 9500GT is a lot faster, and has more features. The rest is common sense. Smile
Geforce 7600GS = DX10 has come and so has the 8500GT/8600GT/and 8600GTS which will replace the 7600GS/7600GS(T)DDR3/7600GT! The 8500GT will be the wiser choice vs. the 7600GS ddr2. It has roughly the same performance but is future-proofed by DX10, is cheaper, and supports all new G86 features like accelerated H.264 decode.
Geforce 7600GT = Almost all Geforce 7 series cards have now been put into the avoid list since the 8 and 9 and GTX series has come out, and despite the 7600GT's replacement the 8600GTS not quite living up to it's name.
Geforce 7800GT/7800GTX = these are the older and slower and more expensive cards that are slower than the 7900gt in almost everything, except for the 7800GTX 512. so avoid Smile
Geforce 7900GS = Unless priced under 3k, the 8600GTS would be faster, but then again, you should avoid that card too.
Geforce 7900GT = like the 7900GS, only get this if selling for less than 2k, second hand. Smile
Geforce 7900GTX 512mb & Geforce 7950GX2 1gb ddr3 = These cards should be avoided since everyone knows that the 8 series has already come out. Now unless you can get used/2nd hand samples of these under 3k since the HD 4670 512mb (4k) is faster than these. A single 8800GT 512mb is also FASTER than two 7900GTX in SLI SurprisedSurprised or Even two 7950GX2s in QUAD SLI SurprisedSurprisedSurprisedSurprisedSurprised
Geforece 8500GT (all models) = no point in buying this now since the 9500GT costs 500-1000 more but is 2x faster. ...not unless you REALLY REALLY need that 500 elsewhere... you're still wasting your money though
Geforce 8600GT gDDR3 = The advent of the newer and faster 9500GT(but not much faster) costing cheaper than this is enough to make you stay away.
Geforce 8600GTS = Honestly, i was very disappointed with its performance, slotting in between the 7900GS and the X1950Pro. I was expecting more performance (7900GT levels) just like the 6600GT and 7600GT did when they came out. (6600GT faster than 5950XT ; 7600GT faster than 6800ultra). Stay away from this.
Geforce 8800GTS 320mb AND 640mb = with the release of the 8800GT 512 and the 8800GTS 512mb, these two cards suddenly became obsolete. don't buy unless offered 2nd hand under 4k. The 9600GT costing 4.5-5.5k is even faster than these.
Geforce 8800GTS 512mb = This is debatable... The 9800GTX is dropping its price to around 9-10k, so old stock of the 8800GTS will sell for 11k. That's the only reason this should be avoided, if ever.
Geforce 8800GT (G92) 512mb = Yep! You can find the new 9800GT much cheaper than this. Although the 9800GT is a renamed 8800GT, there are small differences such as hybridSLI and HybridPower which allow for huge power savings... given you are using the right Nvidia board and chipset
Geforce 8800GTX 768mb AND 8800ULTRA 768mb = These older model G80 chips are phased out and for its performance should cost around 7-9k second hand, with the Ultra costing around 10k.
Geforce 9400GT (all variants) = unless you really need that 500, I'd suggest using that and get the 9500GT (256mb gDDR3) instead and experience a 50% increase in performance. The 9400GT is no more than a rebadged 8500GT.
Geforce 9500GT 512/1gb & DDR2 = the best performing 9500GT (and the cheapest) is the 256mb gDDR3 version as well.
Geforce 9800GTX/GTX+ = As of March 12, These 2 cards have already been replaced/rebranded as the GTS250 which comes in at a very affordable php7,500. While the GTS250 is essentially a rebranded 9800GTX+, which is a smaller die 9800GTX, which is a rebranded 8800GTS 512, avoid the GTX/GTX+ unless you can have them for 7500 or less brand new.
Geforce GTX 260 896mb = This is the non-core 216 version, and of course the older 65nm fab. Avoid this card if priced above 11k brand new or second hand.
Geforce GTX 280 1gb = The advent of the GTX285 suddenly made owners of 280s insecure. Avoid this card if priced above 16k brand new or second hand, as the faster GTX285s can be had for 17k


Feel free to add more cards and comment on my post Smile Obviously hindi yan perfect Smile



III. On Multi-GPU Gaming (SLI/TRI-SLI/QUAD SLI/CROSSFIRE/HYBRID CROSSFIRE/HYBRID CROSSFIREX) (OMGG)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Multi Core gaming is now becoming mainstream. Whereas SLI and Crossfire before is reserved for enthusiasts, mainstream consumers are realizing the potential that SLI and Crossfire wields.

Crossfire and SLI performance scaling has also been improving with each generation of video cards and each release of drivers.

Years ago, you'd have to spend 50+k on a single 7950GX2 dual core video card. Now, you can get two 9800GX2's with less money, or beat the monstrous GTX280 with two HD4870's!. The GT200 chip of Nvidia and RV770 chip of AMD has definitely made things more interesting. Nvidia now holds the fastest single and dual chip graphics cards in the world (GTX280 & GTX295), while ATI is holding on to the best value for money cards right now.

With the new releases, Nvidia and AMD are fighting once again for market share. Here is a rough breakdown
2-4k = 9500GT/HD4670
4k = 9600GT
5-6k = 8800GT/9800GT/GTS240/HD4830
7-8k = HD 4850, GTS 250
11-13k = GTX260 Core 216/ HD4870 512/1gb
17-18K = GTX285
23-27k = HD4870X2 / GTX295

- HD4850X2 still has no pricing here.

- The GTX260 has finally dropped its prices locally to compete with the 4870! The GTX260 is faster than the 4870 with AA enabled, while the 4870 is faster w/o AA, but overall, the GTX260 is now faster due to newer drivers. Get the Core 216 version. It's faster than the 4870 1gb.

- The 9800GT has been rereleased and renamed as the GTS240

- The 9800GTX+ has also been rereleased and renamed as the GTS 250




IV. Warning!!!! READ THIS!!! (WRT)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AVOID and do not be fooled by cards with DDR2 (as much as possible, get cards equipped with at least gDDR3), lowend cards with 512mb RAM, or midrange cards with 1gb of ram.

Let's do a little example. Examine these cards and their prices
512mb Palit 8600 GT Super (128bit) DDR2 pcie ---- php2810
1gb Palit 8500 GT Super+ (128bit) DDR2 pcie ---- php2840
256mb Palit 8600 GT Regular (128bit) DDR3 pcie ---- php 3050
256mb Palit 8600 GT Sonic (128bit) DDR3 pcie ---- php3450
1gb (1024mb) Palit 8600 GT Super+ (128bit) DDR2 pcie ---- php3560

they are arranged according to price, BUT NOT ACCORDING TO PERFORMANCE/SPEED. Here is the real list from slowest to fastest:
1gb Palit 8500 GT Super+ (128bit) DDR2 pcie ---- php2840
512mb Palit 8600 GT Super (128bit) DDR2 pcie ---- php2810
1gb (1024mb) Palit 8600 GT Super+ (128bit) DDR2 pcie ---- php3560
256mb Palit 8600 GT Regular (128bit) DDR3 pcie ---- php 3050
256mb Palit 8600 GT Sonic (128bit) DDR3 pcie ---- php3450

1. See how the most expensive card with 1Gb is not the fastest?
2. See how the 8600GT with 512mb DDR2 is slower than it's 256mb gDDR3 counterpart?


V. What is the maximum amount of memory for my Video Card without wasting money? (WMAM)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since there are a lot of new versions of cards coming out with varying amounts of memory, many of which make it more confusing for the consumer which one is the faster and better buy, I have come up with a simple guide on what is the optimal amount of RAM a particular GPU can fully utilize. This is so that buyers may become aware of products that offer tons of RAM, but in reality are not really that much faster with a similar GPU with half the RAM.

THIS IS APPLICABLE TO MOST, BUT NOT ALL SITUATIONS.

These are cards currently being sold in the market (03/12/09)

HD4850X2 1/2gb (13-16k)
GTX 260 Core 216 (13.8k)
GTX 285 (17k)
GTX295 (24k)


For AGP, it is getting harder and harder to find good value cards as this is soon becoming a legacy interface. Good luck in finding Geforce 8 Series or ATI HD cards for AGP. The most abundant offerings are the geforce 7s. The 7300gt ddr2 is just as fast as the 6600gt, sometimes faster, but the 7300 is cheaper. The 7600gs is just a bit slower than the older 6800gt so any of the two is fine HOWEVER, ATI seems to have captured the highend AGP market with the X1650XT and the X1950Pro. Nvidia only has the older 7800GS and the rare 7600GT to compete with it. Both of which are like needles to be found in this massive haystack market. There is an HD3850 for AGP systems... good luck finding that as well. What's more, AGP cards offer a high premium since demand is low. So you get much much less performance for your money. Better skip the AGP upgrade and save up for a PCI-E system.


If you're still using PCI interface, chances are your processor is old as well.. skip the video card upgrade for there are no good ones and buy a new processor and mobo Smile some onboard videos on mobos offer decent (bare minimum) gaming performance like ATI's HD3200 chipset, Intel's GMA X4500 (offering DX10) or nVidia's Geforce 9200/9300. like PCCruztemp said, avoid Intel GMA/Extreme Graphics/S3 etc if you plan to play games using onboard video. temporary fix lang ang onboard video until one gets enough money to buy a more decent solution. For a temporary solution, ATI currently offers the fastest onboard graphics with its HD3200/3400 780/790 chipsets. But don't expect high quality gaming with those..





VII. What games and resolutions/image quality can my Video Card Play? (WGRI)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This compilation was done by Guru3d.com and i thought it best to add it under the request of other members. Smile Note that only recent cards are included and please do not request for other cards/games from me since i wasn't the one who compiled this.

From Guru3d:
Examples how you could use these charts:

* If you want to purchase a certain graphics card, yet do not know how well a certain game will perform at 1280x1024. You just check the card versus resolution and look at the color coding or pictogram for your answer.
* You want to play F.e.a.r at a decent framerate at 1600x1200. What would be the cheapest card for that ? Just look up F.e.a.r. versus 1600x1200 and observe where performance is acceptable enough for you.

Test Setup:

*
nVIDIA nForce 680i SLI (eVGA) (FOR SLI)
Asus P5E3 Deluxe X38 (For CrossFire)
nVIDIA nForce 790i SLI (For 3-Way and Quad SLI)
*
Core 2 Duo X6800 Extreme (Conroe)
Core 2 Duo E8400 (Penryn)
Core 2 Extreme QX9770 (For 3-Way and Quad SLI Tests
* 2048 MB (2x1024MB) DDR2 CAS4 @ 1142 MHz Dominator Corsair
2048 MB (2x1024MB) DDR3 1333 MHz Corsair
* Enermax Galaxy 1000 Watt Power Supply
* WD Raptor 150 GB
* Dell 3007WFP - resolutions up-to 2560x1600

OS related Software

* Windows Vista 32-bit

VIII. NEW SECTION ---> GPU vs. CPU Upgrade: The Truth About Bottlenecks (CGTA)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


This is yet another new section for those worried about their CPU bottlenecking their GPU... Here's the lowdown:

UNLESS YOU ARE BENCHMARKING, OR ARE PLAYING THE MOST DEMANDING GAME AVAILABLE, THEN YOU WILL NOT BE AFFECTED BY A CPU BOTTLENECK

***Article and some snippets taken from overclock.net poster "Ihatethedukes"

WHAT IS A BOTTLENECK?
What IS a bottleneck? A condition in a system where one component is slower than the rest at its given task and causes the other components to sit around and 'wait' for it so that it can continue it's work.

A perfect example of this is a steel mill. The raw steel components of iron and whatnot are brought in by truckers. The workers then melt it down, pour it, press it into long flat sheets, roll it up and ship it out on trucks. A bottleneck in this system would come from truckers unable to ship in raw materials as fast as the workers use it to make steel. The reason why is obvious, the workers cannot make rolled steel if they have no steel to roll. So they are stuck waiting around for a truck to come in and then work at their task.



THEREFORE....
Your computer playing a video game is the same way. If your CPU is markedly slower than your GPU, it will bottleneck it down to the maximum speed that your CPU can render AI/physics/etc. It doesn't matter if your GPU can output 1000FPS your CPU can only execute 100FPS worth of instructions, so your GPU will be waiting around for your CPU to finish his job (the equivalent to a truck coming in) and then the GPU will quickly process the graphical data needed and will wait around for another batch (truck) to come in.

The same goes in the opposite direction, a GPU only able to put out 100FPS and a CPU that can output 1000FPS will still only output 100FPS for the same reasons.

Something most people don't take into account is that MOST LCD MONITORS ONLY PUT OUT 60Hz or 60FPS. Therefore even if your CPU AND GPU can output 1000FPS your monitor will only show 60FPS. That is the biggest bottleneck in MOST high end machines with less than enormous monitors.

To FURTHER muck things up, the eye cannot tell the difference past 75FPS as an organ and cannot distinguish between 14 individual images per second and and real motion. As far as rendered images go, the lowest playable FPS is ABOUT 30-40 FPS for various reasons that I don't feel the need to go over, simply knowing that 30-40 FPS are what we need for fluid game play is enough. So, if you get 10000 frames flashed at you in a second you will see the same thing as if you saw 40 frames flashed in the same amount of time of the same video as before. I will mercifully IGNORE this problem and focus only on the bottlenecks on the hardware level.

As stated before, the general rule FOR ALL LCD MONITORS is that on its max resolution, a monitor will only be able to output 60FPS. For the sake of this argument, lets assume that 60Hz is the max FPS a monitor can put out across it's entire resolution range since we're assuming that the monitor you own has the max resolution you're going to use. This is a HUGE and completely immovable bottleneck to the system. 60FPS.


Surprised? Let me reiterate further. Like I said, if you are benchmarking and looking for the maximum FPS, then you will notice the reduced FPS results being produced. BUT, if you are a normal gamer, here are a few important facts:

1. Your LCD can only output 60-75hz, meaning you can only see 60-75fps, making the LCD the REAL BOTTLENECK
2. Given this is so, if your GPU can render 1000fps, and your slower CPU can render 100fps, therefore, your monitor software (FRAPS) will be showing 100fps,
3.There is still no real bottleneck since the eye cannot see anything more than 75fps.
4. How can you compensate for this? easy. MAX OUT ALL THE DETAILS!!! (AA/AF/ETC). Why? Your CPU can render only 100fps while your GPU can render 1000... therefore, there is so much potential your GPU is not using. Use this untapped potential and turn everything on!

To hell with buying a new CPU that will only make allow my GPU to render images THAT NO ONE WILL EVER SEE! That's right, your GPU be rendering images, just to erase them because your monitor cannot display as many as it puts out! Why would you even do that? WHY?! It's utterly pointless.

So, go ahead and buy your HD4870... but don't get a Penryn/MoBo/DDR3 too. Just save the 20k from the proposed upgrade and buy a huge monitor and CRANK the EYE CANDY!

And this.... is how I learned to stop worrying and just buy the video card. ^_^

*9800GX2 Quad SLI and HD3870X2 in CrossfireX needs at least 4gb RAM or else will run out of memory. Plus, performance increases are very small or sometimes negative in games brought about by early drivers used during testing or CPU limitation

**Some SLI and crossfire ratings were done by compiling 4 games benchmarked by Guru3D under similar Hardware specs:
Call of Duty 4
Crysis
FEAR
Ghost Recon 2: AW
<--- FPS was totalled and ranked accordingly.








X. Video Card Power Consumption Guide (VCPC)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, I've been hearing a lot of questions asking about the power consumption of a certain video card. Well of course you can google it! But I have saved you the trouble and googled it myself. I found a guide compiled by two very dedicated members from another tech forum.
Link here: http://archive.atomicmpc.com.au/forums.asp?s=2&c=7&t=9354
Anyway, I have decided to transfer some of the elements of that guide and put only the essentials here as it would make this humongous guide even longer.


Main Factors Behind Power Consumption
1. Core/Memory/Shader Clock = Yes, of course, the higher you go, the more power you video card will require. That simple. The GTX280 and GTX260 use essentially the same core, but with the 280 having higher clocks, it amounts to a higher power consumption
2. Die Size or Fab Process (65nm/55nm/40nm) = The smaller the better. A smaller size means lower power consumption, lower heat dissipation, and allows for higher clock speeds. Look at the 9800GTX (65nm) and the 9800GTX+ (55nm) despite the GTX+ having higher core and shader clocks, it consumes less power, and runs cooler than the GTX. (both have the same cooling systems)
3. Amount and Type of RAM used = The power consumption goes like this from highest power draw to the lowest: gDDR2 > gDDR3 > gDDR4 > gDDR5. This higher you go, the lower the power consumption. However, adding more RAM also results to a higher power draw, albeit not by much, and can be considered insignificant.

NEXT...
Here we have a short list of video cards that includes their Idle, 2D (if available), and 3D max load power consumption. TAKE NOTE: This is the INDIVIDUAL power draw of the Video CARD, and NOT THE ENTIRE SYSTEM. So enjoy Smile

Again, I got this from the link posted above. I didn't make this...

XI. NEW SECTION!!! ---->Power Supply Guide... Choosing the Right PSU (PSGC)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


A NOTE ON GENERIC PSU'S: ONE WORD: DON'T!!! If you can afford to spend on a graphics card, then I'd bet you can also afford to purchase a decent, branded PSU. If your budget is for a video card only, I'd really recommend that you use that to purchase a branded PSU first to replace your generic one before buying a new video card. This is my trusted website for PSU reviews:
http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/

Why do I hate generic PSU's so much?
1. Low Efficiency (~50-60%) If you have low efficiency, this equates to a higher electric bill as the PSU needs to draw more power from your power outlet in order to produce the needed voltages. A good PSU should have at least 80% efficiency while the best offer 85-88%
2. Generics cut costs and leave your computer components vulnerable when the PSU goes boom. They do not have a Short Circuit/Over Current Protection. Imagine your 40k rig destroyed just because you decided to save a couple of thousand bucks and use that generic that came with your casing, or purchase a cheap PSU that you think is branded (*ehem dynamo ehem*) when in fact it's not.
3. Did your generic say it had 600W? No doubt it will produce 600W..the question is: AT WHAT TEMPERATURE? Most generic PSU's are rated at cold room temperature of 15-20C. At that temp, it will produce 600W! But this is unrealistic as temperatures inside your case averages around 35-40C. As temperature goes up, output goes down. So in reality, your generic 600W only produces 250-300W true rated output.

Wanna know more? Read these reviews on generic PSU's. YOU'LL BE HORRIFIED!!!

NOW...WHAT PSU's should I buy?
Source: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=108088


WHICH ONES TO BUY ??

Tier 1 can handle 4Ghz Conroe or 3Ghz AMD along with Oced Quad Crossfire/SLI With Ease.
Tier Z offers quality and power unequalled in its wattage range and is second only to other Zippy units.
Tier 2 offers almost as much power and stability as Tier 1 at Comparable Wattage levels with lower price/better availability.
Tier T offers the high quality components of Tier 2 with slightly less Rail stability due to Topower internals.
Tier 3 is ONLY Recommended if Price difference is present between Tier 3 and Tier 2 or due to availability issues with Tier 1/2 PSUs.
Tier 4 is recommended for stock or low power systems if Tier 3's are more expensive or are not available.
Tier 5 are NOT RECOMMENDED, but some brands have high/medium quality components in Tiers 2 through 4.

HD4770 can be compared to a 9800gt 'coz of the price range, it performs a bit better than the 9800gt though & consumes less power, it is suppose to produce less heat 'coz of the newer technology & having fast DDR5 vRAM is always on the plus side.

Definitely a good buy. Bang for the buck, if you are leaning towards a midrange GPU.
