Yes it should handle it but your PSU is coming close to its maximum output, I strongly suggest upgrading to maybe a 500/600W I know you may not need it but it is not good to have your PSU running at near 100% of its capacity.
ATi drivers suck, just so you know. My friends 4870 runs at 75C idle lmao! Have to mess around with fanfix and all that dumb stuff....rather pathetic.jmnderson69
Well done, ATI cards are designed to idle very hot this is not a design flaw or a broken card, it is to keep noise to a minimum. GPU's unlike CPU's are designed to handle temperatures in excess of 120/130 degrees however my 4870 never reaches over 85 on load, so 75 idle to 85 load I call that pretty good. Typical nvidia fanboy.
I have been a ATI Radeon freak for some time now. I dont even pay attention to what Nvidia is doing. Recently I bought a laptop that had an Nvidia card on it and it isnt much of a good product due to malfunctioning and shutting down, but with all the hype around the new Nvidia cards it's tempting to switch up my custom gaming rig to an Nvidia card. I currently have the ATI Radeon HD 3870. It runs all of my games pretty smooth but I know there's ALWAYS something better. I'd just like to know how everyone else feels about the rivalry between ATI and Nvidia and if it's worth my time thinking that they will make a product that will without a shadow of a doubt be better than Nvidia.Adonis71806
1. You need to start looking at what both companies are doing, fast
2. Currently there is NO hype around nvidia, the new ATI cards are all the hype at the moment especially the 4870X2 (beats the GTX 280 all ends up buy a large margin for only another £30 more)
3. A 3870 should run all games except crysis maxed out, if your one of those people who upgrade your card to play crysis for about 12 hours one day then never for the rest of the year go ahead.
4. Linking in with (2) ATI currently have the lead in the best video card 4870X2 beats any product nvidia have, time for nvidia to start making good cards at competative prices much like the great priced 4850.
how about adventure games or rpg?is there any game that i can play?hyper_gattack82
The phrase "Mobile Intel Graphic Media Accelerator" translates into English as "This isn't designed for gaming"
Any game what people class as decent will not run, well I lie, it will run at about 5 FPS.
Crysis, nope
No modern FPS game will run but you should be able to play Counter Strike Source.
