Graphic Cards GPU for 1920X1080

what will be the power requirement for 6950 ?
The reason for not taking cryengine for benchmark is that - except its inhouse games/demo, how many other thirdparty taker for cryengine so far ? Infact we should more care about common game engine like Unreal - from where we got the most the game that we cared. I don't have a ps3 so can not comment on Uncharted- but why bring console games to pc- those game will be ported to pc anyway (if they ever come to pc amyway)..As a gamer when i invested in my system I want to see maximum value for money/return so I want a gpu which will perform well in most of the PC games
 
By that logic almost any card from last year would u serve u well. Because "most" of the games are of such moderate quality the very need for a high end gfx is nullified. If u search for the "biggest/AAA games of 2010" in Google, one would get links that reads "20 of the most...", "30 of the...", "12 of...". So the % of AAA games is pretty small in the total number of games released per year and those released as a PC First or PC Exclusive are dwindling into nothingness.

Unreal Engine 3 is a the easiest engine to work with and its been here as long as modern gaming was, so the adoption rate is much higher, but comparatively the CryEngine is far more advanced even in its DX 10 avatar, although the UE4 might be just the competition it needs. So the reason to look at CE as a benchmark tool is, if a card can hold itself up again the onslaught of CE then it can hold its fort against almost every game engine used in modern games.

So when u talk about games u talk qualitatively not quantitatively, i played not more than 35 games [excl indies] last year and i want my gfx to perform top notch in all of them regardless of the engine used.

Also the mention of UC was not to start a comparison between PC and PS3 but to give an idea what next gen console hardware is gonna be like and if the current trend is any evidence then such mighty hardware would be surpassed by the pc in just a coupla years. Although the question/thought of achieving the throughput of a console in a pc is highly depressing.

P.S Any good 500W PSU will handle it.

not all but yes 3-4 of them depending on resolution and detail quality

- true,so with limited amount of time n money (if u are going legit) that we have -what games are we really going to play - i mean games which we really care to finish n enjoy while doing so// I am not talking games that we collected but left untouched to play in distant future and been played next for future generation rig

- and it mostly covers some of most enjoyable games that I care to play

- I understand your logic but making CE as a benchmark we set the entry level cost for a descent PC gaming experience to much higher level ( so far i only played Crysis demo n Crysis mp demo - donot want to pirate but not in my priority right now)

right I dont care how well my rig run well on most the good/AAA games which i do not care, i want my rig to run well on some of the selected games only that i want to play

wow ,, that's a huge number and even my total number of steam game is less than or equal to that- super man,,but I check in my gaming habit, I only play handful of games and will upcoming trend also going to be the same for me

true, the challenge with console is that they need atleast 3-4 yrs of design time, so the next generation will have some custom ati 4 series or something like that ,but to get UC like graphics dev really needs to dig deeper in the system - there are only one or two first party dev house for in sony camp- anyway console games are off topic anyway,,any game which developed separately for pc will be better than console anyway

Good to have a like minded discussion. And gaming is a very personal thing, for eg i never liked the HL series even after reading so many reviews and playing for more than 2 hours. So yes the choice should be based completely on your preference.

So in any case have u decided the gfx?

P.S as far the number of games, well when one has nothing better to do apart from eating and sleeping the choice is rather simple - gaming or pr0n, i suppose i get a much better endorphin rush when i blow someone's head.

yeah..enjoyed this thread so much..got some inside for my future upgrade path n gaming,,When my friend first show me metal gear solid in pc ( long long years back - during initial yrs of pc gaming) - it didn't interest me, during those days i am more into max payne or aoe 2,,but now a days i want to go back mgs in pc or ps1 and complete the series..I still did not completed HL series, although i enjoyed the first game ( till when i played,not complete again)

I think , i will delay my purchase for time being,since most of my top priority games is working fine ( except BC2), going for a full fledged upgrade seems to be a much better approach to me - thanks to u anyway

yeah ,very true, I was into action/rpg lately and recently got into fps again(BC2,thanks to steam summer sale), n truly understand "a much better endorphin rush when i blow someone's head",specially in mp,snipping those high ranked player ( rarely though)
 
i need an updation in my graphics card........MSI N550GTX GDDR5 1GB Graphic Card - Model N550GTX-Ti Cyclone II is in my plan..............plz send ur opinions
 
First, what u are doing is called hijacking a thread, u've done the same in one more thread too. Respect the Original Poster [OP] and either ask him or start with an "i apologize for hijacking the thread....", its a start.

Second, Your power supply would most likely be the death of your GFX, anything over 6850 and your OCing of the proccy pretty much guarantees it. So invest in atleast a corsair 500/550 watts if u want a stable, non smoking system.

Third, refer first point.

The minimum required to play at 19x10 is a 6970/6950 plus Core i5 > 3Ghz min.

And even then many games would need a lot lot more juice.

well, I play most of my games at Full HD with Q6600 and 5770. I am happy with>30 fps in most of the games , maybe your eyes are different and you see choppiness in games even at 120 fps. :P
 
I don't mind in making this thread public or a Sticky is mod want,lets make the discussion constructive help each other // As for comfortable frame rate -it varies on game to game,,I am playing assassin creed 2 in 30-25 fps, which is perfectly fine for me, but playing BC2 at the same fps is not as pleasurable as ac2. Action adventure,strategy,RTS games required less fps in compare to first person shooter(specially in multiplayer),,so while deciding right GPU for you always consider the type of game you want to play
 
i dont know why every 1 want to see 50~60 FPS when our eyes [human eyes] cant even recognize those high frame rate

anything abv 30~40 FPS is useless ... we are not machines
 
^^ even though you are correct that human eyes cannot see beyond 30 fps but a drop in fps from 60 to 30 will be noticeable by you as it will stutter....the main point of having higher fps is make sure to avoid that lag during fps drop...now suppose you are playing DA2 with 35fps max then during intense fights the fps will drop to say 20-25 making the gameplay laggy..but if you are getting 70-80 fps then even a huge fps drop of 30 also wont affect the smoothness of gameplay......in my opinion your card should be able to maintain atleast 60fps constant given its your monitor's refresh rate...
