MSI HD 4670 1gb vs powercolor HD4730 512mb

pantherx12 · Sep 7, 2009

Right I'm building a system for a friend, how ever the graphics card I was going to get has now sold out, so I'm looking for best bang for buck for 60 quid.

Which of these is better?

the MSI is 56 pounds the powercolor is 57.

Thanks TPU.

the 4730 is significantly faster. higher bit memory. more stream processors.

Downside, bigger card. Needs power connector. Uses more power and runs hotter.

HD4730

has 640 SP's. But uses more power and runs hotter like jaylin said.

Ok cheers guys.

Need to find out if adapters are included in box now.

I'm going to hunt around on google to find out about that, but if someone knows if you get a DVI - vga adapter and a molex to 6 pin adapter that would help me out loads.

4730 is better altough it uses about the same power as a 4870

I'm still have trouble finding out about in box accessories, does anyone know?

I know it comes with a molex-6 pin cable, and I know it doesn't come with a DVI -HDMI converter, how ever I still don't know weather or not it has a DVI-VGA D:

Almost all retail box cards comes with both.
At least thats for HIS and Sapphire.

Why not get a 4770? Its a kick ass card.
I will choose the good old 4830 over a 4730.

I'm not sure about over there (China for you or England for panther), but over here 4770's are way over priced. For about $10 more here you can get a 4870 which is a far better card.

Okay, are the 4830s still avaliable then?

Because 4830s are still great clockers.
In OCing, 4730 is the same shit as 4850s :shadedshu

pantherx12 · Sep 7, 2009

I'll check out some 4830s, if they're around the same price I may go for them.

( although ebuyer has no hd4830s, meaning I'd need to find another shop that has free shipping)

Thanks for the help guys.

I would take a 9800GT over a 4730 simply because 4730 is full of so much fail and it contribute to global warming. This is coming from an ATi "Fanboy". :respect:

pantherx12 · Sep 7, 2009

I did look at 9800gt actually, but I know nothing about Nvidia cards!

D:

For example, is this any good ?

and worth the price.

Nope. The HD4850 are better deals than that, and about the same price.

Thanks guys, no need to worry though, I sold the rig in my specs.

Not much profit but it was to a friend, rebuilding already.

Got a full tower case by Sunbeam apparently the fans are noisy rubbish but I'll fix that

Got the Be Quiet Dark Power Pro 750w modular psu ( high quality stuff

)
And I've got another 2x2gb 1333mhz ddr 3 kit coming (these run at 1600mhz faster then stock timings so easily! Corsair xms series without heatsinks, perfect for those of you with big heatsinks)

This time I'll build log it all properly since I'm not getting all the kit at once.

( going to hold out for hd58 cards)

For the moment, it would be a better price/performance ratio to save a little bit on the memory and get DDR2, and spend a bit more on the graphics card to get a HD4870.
