ok.my parents bought me an XFX(i think) Radeon HD 4650(somewhat aging i know)since it was cheap and my birthday.So Im free from that cursed integrated piece of crap.so what do you think about the card.Is it mid-end???.Well it can't be that bad since I've heard a discrete card is a 100 times better than the integrated s---!!.OH AND Please tell me how to overclock it so it will be like the HD 4670 and will there be any bottlenecks SPECS
Intel Pentium Dual Core E2180 @ 2.00 GHz

MSI MS 7525
ATi Radeon HD 4650 GDDR2 1 GB Graphics Card
ps i have nt got it yet but its being delivered now
well to be honest with u i mean u have been here quite a while and u told me that u got the card.
so u should know what the card can do.
anyways HD 4650 GDDR3 is a low end gaming card it can play most games on medium quality with accepted resolutions at 30-35fps.
but im looking here at wut u wrote it says HD 4650 GDDR2. Its too bad u got the GDDR2 version as it wont suffice GDDR2 is slow the maximum memory clock it can reach is 500MHz or so.
So i'd say u return the card and get a GDDR3 version of an HD 4670computers are a second home

Video card models & graphics technology change quickly. Several months ago, the HD 4650 was considered a good entry level gaming card. It's still a fairly good card but has been bumped out of the entry level spot by the HD 5570 & HD 6570. The problem with the one you ordered is that it has GDDR2 memory instead of GDDR3, but it will still be a major improvement over the integrated video. Newegg has a lot of good deals right now so hopefully you didn't pay too much.
oh well there is allways overclocking
"oh well there is allways overclocking" You can only make up for so much. You should have researched before you ordered. See the link I just added in my other response.
dude you give good advice i know but its full of negativity.some of us don't have availability.i went to buy a gts 450 but they didn't have it!!!(god i hate that store).so stop with all the negativity.i get like 100 to 120 fps on a game that barely managed to get 10 fps on my old intel card and that is considered good by me.oh and now i can answer to your question "have u ever played on a decent computer......something".yeah i have....now.everything is "BLISSFUL" at medium settings 1024x786 with me getting fps over 50 fps.oh and i got 1.7 gb graphics memory786 mb shared.why is this!!!
Sorry, I'm an old man & negativity is my way, take it or leave it. BTW, this comment: "oh and i got 1.7 gb graphics memory786 mb shared.why is this!!!" says a lot about what you know & don't know about computer graphics.
1.7gb because of hyper memory or win 7 (768mb will not be used until 1gb is depleted). Hd 4650 can handle newer games(crysis 2 or dirt 3) in high settings(1280 x 800 & below) if combined with faster cpu (eg c2d e8500 with gt 220 ddr3 outpeform e2200 @ 2.6ghz with 9600gt).

cool so should i update to an e7500 cuz my mobo dont support anything higher.
oh and it is xfx(got a giant heatsink and a fan).what is the normal temp of this card cuz it says 48 - 52 0 C in the ATi overdrive in catalyst control center.it seems kind of hot compared to my other parts.and will there be any probs if i run this card on a 180 hp psu
If u can upgrade CPU(e7500 is a good choice). I beleive u are running it with 180w psu right? U need a good quality unit(350 - 450w) if do not want any problems. I got the same temp on my 9600gt(745mhz core, 1862mhz shader, 990mhz memory). We can not fight new wars with old weapons, let he who desires peace prepare for war - PROPHET.
can u give me some overclocking info.
Oem systems doesn't allow oc. We can not fight new wars with old weapons, let he who desires peace prepare for war - PROPHET.
CPU overclocking was already discussed in the overclocking forum. More evidence that this kid is both a kid & a newb: http://www.computing.net/answers/cp...
If you want to overclock the video card, you're on your own, at least as far as I'm concerned. You'll get no further help from me, just negative comments.
no not that....graphics overclocking like ATI/AMD OVERDRIVE OVERCLOCKING and i've ordered a new psu(god things are finally turning to my side).
oh and mickliq it was dirt cheap.and can ddr2 mobos support gfx cards with ddr3 ram.and my only options to buy were the hd 4650 and the gt 210.the gt 210 no way was i going to buy that.i think the gt 210 has like 8 or 16 pixel shaders.Mabye i was wrong about ATi being lame(definitly was).
I bought(havent got it yet but ordered)this dumb stupid lame looserific Umax 460 Watt PSU CUZ I HAD NO OTHER OPTIONS.I know that brands like Umax overrate their PSUs.So will I at least get like a 300 Watt Output out of it. Intel Core 2 Duo E2180 @ 2.00 GHz
