Am not sure of EVGA cards in chennai but there was a thread in Dealer’s section by Rahul of THEITWARES

but his reply of July 31, 2010 is that “EVGA 460 is not coming soon afaik”

your quad cpu 9400 should be fine with 6870 or 460 without loss in performance..

try anandtech’s bench for some comparsions..CPU Benchmarks and Hierarchy 2025: CPU Rankings | Tom's Hardware (you (9400) vs me (E8400)) :slight_smile:

GTX 570 coming in December – GeForce GTX 570 to arrive in December + photo

so hold on for a month and get a good deal when the new year starts..

Now I am thinking of getting a complete new rig. Details are here

Please leave your thoughts there.

Thank You thegame, spectre, rahulyo, teja92, ALPHA17, moksh4u2, rite, rajuwaste

Your posts were very helpful and I expect that you will be by my side in this “crucial” time :slight_smile:

that 5970 is going to be cpu limited in your case :slight_smile: If you want to make sure every game will run well for the next 2-3 years then id say spend a little more.
id suggest the up coming 6970. It should come in at arounf 24-26k in december. Its going to be 2GB so enough Vram for even the most demanding textures and is also more than enough for even a 24inch @ 1920X1200.
Cheers and kind regards !
