Graphic Cards Graphic card buying advice

[Jakob]

I would suggest you to wait for 2-3 months till amd hd 7xxx series launches,if you are in a desperation then get a 2gb gtx560ti ver due to more memory and for better fps and oc,if you wait for a while you might get Hd 6950 2gb ver for 15.5k as it it right now it's 16k or more due to dollar price hike,6950 2gb will give you much better performance than gtx560ti.

recently i have read a article about the performance of HD6850 2gb reference model vs HD6850 1GB.
From the article it was clear that there was no increase in performance with 2gb version.
the only advantage was +4fps in Metro 2033.

I have ordered a Zotac GTX 560Ti for 13,500/-. Do you think it is a good buy? I didn't order the 2 GB version because from benchmarks it didn't seem to offer much extra, especially at the resolutions I will be gaming at (1080P and lower). And what do you think about the SeaSonic S12II 620 Bronze 620W? I have ordered it for 4300. Will get both of them tomorrow.

As i was buying 6850, i istakenly wrote 6850 instead of 6950
Now i cant edit my post.

I need to buy a Graphic card soon to play all the high end GAME.

My current config:
CPU: INTEL Core i5 2500K @ 4.30 GHz
MOB: Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3R.
RAM: Gskill SNIPER F3-12800CL9D-8GBSR2.
GPU: 9600GT.
HDD: WD Green 2TB+BLACK 500GB.
ODD: SONY DVD-RW.
CAB: CM 690 II Advance.
PSU: Corsair VX 550.
UPS: APC Back-UPS 1100VA
BENQ V2220H-World's Slimmest LED Monitor.

My budget is around 16K.
Please suggest a best GPU to play all the game smoothly @ 1080P.
One more things, please look at my PSU & CAB. Actually am not sure, up to which range of GPU my PSU will suport.

Thanks in advance.

^^ MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC @ Rs.16,200/-..

or MSI N560GTX-Ti Twin Frozr II 2GD5/OC @ Rs.16,200/-

or SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 6950 Dirt3 Edition 2GB @ 15750/-

PSU and cabby are perfect. Wont be a prob.

Are you advertising BENQ??

 

[baccilus]

Chirag's advice is perfect. With nVidia you will have the option of Anaglyph 3D but ATI's card will be a little more powerful.

Price rates have gone up ridiculously msi gtx 560-ti used to be for 13.5k,that's too bad

Now you can get the Zotac GTX 560Ti for that price. It has a 5 year warranty and runs ridiculously cool. Since the OP has more budget, he can easily get even better cards.

 

[Prosenjit]

Which one is better??

MSI N560GTX-Ti Twin Frozr II 2GD5/OC

or

MSI N560GTX-Ti HAWK.

 

[chiragsthakur]

HAWK variant is with 1gb Memory only... Whereas the Twin frozr has 2gb variant..

In terms of gaming you will feel absolutely no performance gain. There is not even a single framerate difference in any of the current games. Infact, for some games you might have to disable HT in the i7 2600K proccy.

^^ Increase your budget to 7K and get a 6770(Sapphire)/5770(MSI hawk=if lucky)

 

[the_one]

will the price go down if i wait for few more months as its not urgent...

 

[chiragsthakur]

Hopefully when the 7xxx series comes out... But the price wont fall to 6K IMO, coz still we get 5770 at 6.5K after almost 2 years of its release...

--- Updated Post - Automerged ---

If you want something urgent in 6K, then 6670 or GTS450 are the only choices for you. But seriously, for HD gaming atleast a 5770/6770 is essential.

 

[the_one]

then will buy 6770 after few months thanks..........
