834403 2009-11-28 11:22:00 Everything looks great, but the 5850 might be a tight fit in that case which is 25.4cm wide and the 5850 is 24.1cm long. narutophantom (12610)
834404 2009-11-28 11:25:00 so what would you recommend a 285 gtx?? razgriz1972 (15466)
834405 2009-11-28 11:26:00 A different case, perhaps?
Edit: Scratch that, been reading online and apparently the 5850 DOES fit

834406 2009-11-28 11:29:00 any one in particular. i like the storm sniper for the fact it has handles for easy relocating and that it has four usb port on front. razgriz1972 (15466)

Yes, the Storm Sniper is a great case and you should stick with it :)

834408 2009-11-28 11:34:00 do you think anything else may need to be changed? btw is the nvidea 285gtx the equivelant of the radeon 5850HD? thanks mate razgriz1972 (15466)

That all depends on the game and application of course, but in most cases the 5850 is better than the GTX 295

The 5850 is also less power consuming and quieter than the GTX 295, you can also find more benchmarks and reviews on these and some other cards here www.tomshardware.com

834411 2009-11-28 13:20:00 The 5850 is also less power consuming and quieter than the GTX 295

And the 5850 is DX11
