Which Radeon HD 3850?
I'm looking at two different manufacturers.
I'm familiar with Sapphire. I have purchased and used a Sapphire Radeon 9700 & 9800. No problems with either. They are still running fine to this day.
But, I've never had a Powercolor, nor used one.
Anyone here have any experience with the Powercolor graphics cards?
I can't find any difference in the cards specs, so I'm assuming the only difference is the coolers on the cards and the manufacturers brands.
I was also wondering if either of my PSU's will carry the cards power consumption.
FSP Group 450W PSU- has 2 +12V rails-18Amps.
Also have TTGI Super Flower 450W PSU- has 2 +12V rails-18Amps.
I'll be running the K8T Neo mobo / AMD Athlon 64 3400+ cpu/ 2X1G OCZ LE Platinum Ram/ 2X 36G Raptor HD's/ NEC DVD r/rw and the graphics card.
Any input on this is appreciated as always friends.
Here's links to the cards.
#1
POWERCOLOR Radeon HD 3850 which is quite a bit less in price.
It seems to have a better gpu cooler on it too.
#2 Sapphire Radeon HD 3850 which is more expensive and seems to have a lesser cooler on it.

Just wanting a little confirmation to see if anyone else knew of any difference.
I didn't see any difference in them other than the better price and better looking cooler.
Do you think the PSU (either of the two) will carry the card with what I'm putting in the system?
