Hi friends,
I am looking to buy a graphic card within a range of Rs.4000/- (Max budget). My PC configration is:
E5200
G31 S2L
2GB RAM
Bijli cabinet with default 450 w smps
DVD writer
15" CRT Monitor
Pls tell if i will have to upgrade my SMPS also for putting that graphic card.
u definitely need to upgrade ur PSU:)…Get a zebronis/Coolermaster if u have limited budget… 500 Watts should do.
I have a 4850 for sale if u are interested in a used card: TechEnclave
Buy,
Sapphire HD5570 1GB GDDR3 @ 4.9k
Then no need to upgrade PSU.
What does DDR3 and DDR4 represent in Graphic cards.
Pls suggest me card which is best VFM.
there are various architectural advancement in the diff drams.
the ddr5 that we find these days are better performer than it’s older counterparts…
n u won’t find ddr4 in many cards coz afaik they had lesser cost/performance advantage compared to ddr3…
in a budget around 4k,i’ll suggest u to go for a used card with warranty of course…try searching the market section!
n ya ur smps will pose a little problem for any gcard u choose…
so it’s up to u if u wanna take the risk!
Get a 1GB DDR3 MSI HD4670 - 4.5k. Power consumption is low and also performance is slightly better than the HD5570 in most cases
You zebby PSU should be enough to power this card.
^+1 to this suggestion…seriously recommended. No gain in going above this GPU with ur current monitor.
ati 4670 is best in ur budget go for it even no need of psu upgrade
Get a Sapphire/XFX HD4670 512MB DDR3 - 4.2K…
As i am going to upgrade my CRT monitor to 22" Dell LCD. Will this Graphic card be sufficient for it too?
Please also tell what is crossfire in cards mean & how is it usefull?
crosfire is a tech used when you use more then 1 graphic card(for ATI | SLI for Nvidia) in a system(could be 2 or 3 or 4 cards).
the 4670 will be streched if you go for a 22" moniter with something like 1680x1050, and you might need to strech your budget a bit for a better card … but it also depends on what type of games you play or what you plan on using the system for … 4670 would be perfect if you are sticking to your 15" moniter…
Well if you go for a better performing card then you have change your PSU as well. So you will have to increase your budget. For anything upto a 19"/20" monitor a HD4670 will do a decent job.
The HD4670 is the best bet in your budget.
Would buying a graphic card like HD4670 from newegg.com in US and getting it to india be cheaper?
better to get that in India ..4670 from newegg works out around 3750 if you go KMD route its gonna cost you even more 4500 approx which is just about same as indian market price …plus you will have not much warrantry troubles if any problem comes.
Ati 4670 will be best for ur budget…try to get used 8800gt/9800gt/ati4850/4770 but u’ll require PSU upgrade
you can also look at the ATi 5450… its jsut about 4k..
Err. HD5450 gaming capability is not even as much as the HD4550. The HD4650 is the cheapest card one should consider for gaming and its performance is twice as much as the HD5450.
In his budget a HD4670 is the best option as it has low power consumption and performance equal to and even better than the HD5570 at times.
thanks for your help, but pls confirm if ATI 4670 will be able to handle 22" monitor resolution and will i have to upgrade my PSU for it and if yes, then pls also suggest a cheap & vfm PSU /SMPS.
Zebby Pro 350W @ 1.5k
Sapphire HD5670 512MB GDDR5 @ 5.3k
WHy I suggest HD5670 is that the power consumption from HD5570 1GB is not at all different, but u get much more performance.
But is Zebby Pro 350W @ 1.5k better than my 450w smps?
