Re: The Graphic Card Advisor

GTS 250 does not have Directx11 Support but it's definitely a better card for gaming than the HD 5670.

Hm the 400W won't be good enough if I upgrade my Graphic card in the future right? What's the next Gigabyte PSU after the 400w one? Price?

if u r tight on budget then go with VIP Gold 500W or Gigabyte Superb 460W..

or else if u want something future proof den u can go with Corsair vx450W/550W, Tagan500W/600W, CM GX550W n awl..

Re: The Graphic Card Advisor

I have a 400w VIP PSU, have no intentions in changing it as of now. Needed a Graphics card (nvidia/ati) within Rs 5000. Please suggest.
My gaming would be COD MW 1, 2 a couple of racing games. I am yet to try Left for Dead.

Sapphire HD5670 512MB GDDR5 ~ 5.1-5.4k. Doens't need a separate PCI-E connector too. Your best bet with that PSU and budget.

yeah an HD5670 will be a good choice for you considering everything u mentioned..go for it :hap2:

Re: The Graphic Card Advisor

At a Budget of around 5k...HD 5670 is the best option...

it working on a generic PSU, makes the choice even better..

That wont work ...
laptops cannot be fitted with graphic cards after wards...
If you want a Laptop which can be used for some gaming, get a Dell studio 15,,,

Thanks guys, from a look at my bank balance 5K now seems a problem, also tried searching for this card and I cant really find it. Had called Prime abgb earlier and got a quote for a BIG 9600gt 512mb for 2.5k :S, will this card work on my PSU.

Basically I can now go for a card (nvidia/ati) worth 3-4 without any problems.
