| 1151041 | 2010-11-08 02:21:00 | I have been looking at a PB Technology CPU setup. One of the features was a ATI4850 1G Video Card. Today they have changed (updated was the word I think used) to a Nvidia GTS450 1G Video Card. Is that a significant change please ? Misty :confused: PS - just noticed that the price has also gone up $100 + GST :( |

| 1151042 | 2010-11-08 02:28:00 | They're comparable in terms of performance. The 4850 is a previous-generation mid-range card from AMD and the GTS450 a current-generation entry-level card from nVidia. | inphinity (7274) | ||
| 1151043 | 2010-11-08 02:32:00 | The Nvidia GTS450 is a significantly faster card, probably close to 30% faster in most games over the ATI 4850. Seems you are not looking at the same web page or is this part of a system? |

My need is to do photographic editing using Photoshop Elements. Am a bit worried that the price has edged up $100. Not sure that is an appreciable gain (against the extra cost) for what I want to do ? Misty :confused: |

My father is a retired photographer, he uses photoshop and has onboard graphics. You don't need a fancy GPU for what you want. |
