You are welcome and what do you mean by shaders?. The shader core count on the card?.

[Nipuna]

I think Pixel Shader and vertex Shader. I don't know any other

I think I don't need to supply external power to this card like 9800GT, I've Watched some videos on YouTube and they didn't have a power supply. Am I right?

I am going to buy a cheap HDMI cable around $2 also.

Do you think will it be a good cable for this card and my monitor?

[Herath]

Do not know much about the cable quality. What I have is a gold plated sony mini-HDMI to HDMI cable. I found that cable from unity plaza out of some pile of cables the seller had. It was packaged but the package was pretty beaten up. The seller did not even know what mini HDMI was and I took the advantage of it. . The cable is thick and sturdy although it is only 1 meter which is more than enough for me.
Inteferences that I was experiencing with the old-school VGA cable was gone after using HDMI. Anything that won't easily break should work. High quality cables are only required when you need to view 3D content on a HDTV etc. And those gold plating etc, I think they are mostly for fashion and resistance to corrosion.

A $2 cable should be fine unless you are living in a beach.

Hi friend.

I've decided to buy from here. I am thinking to buy a Axle 2GB DDR5 one. Are they good?

Or how much will be a Axle GTS 450 with a suitable power supply? So I get a good card than 440 that's why

Do you know a shop that I can buy that? in MC i guess? As I see in Barclays website they don't have the card I search.

I can't keep my my mind on one thing, I think you can clearly see that now

PS: I've already added money to my Sampath webcard to buy that card. But still didn't pay, Is there anyway that I can get that money back to my bank account ?

[Herath]

Axle seems to be a good brand. I haven't tried any of their cards so I can't tell you much about the build quality etc.

I am not sure about running a GTS450. If it does not work properly when gaming, you could use some GPU overclocking utility like MSI AfterBurner to underclock the card to reduce power consumption.
Do not know about the sampath web card. I have not used it.

Thanks man.

I am hoping to buy one on this Saturday because I attend to BIT classes every Saturdays. After the class I will buy one.

But need to know one thing,

How much will be a good power supply for GTS450 ? (If I could I'll try to find out an used 9800GT)
I see MSI GTS 450 cars around 16000LKR Axle ones will be cheaper than that right?

If not I'll just go with GT 440.



Thanks

A branded PSU should start at around 4500LKR.However these are really good over 1800LKR PSUs. They have good hold up times, gives the power good signal faster, less noise, less heat etc. I really like my CM RS-460. It runs very cool and very low noise compared to the power supply that I got with the old casing. You won't need a new power supply if the system does not reboot while under load and if the power supply does not die due to overloading.

Axle GTS450 is 14500LKR, as at November 2011. No updates on current prices.
