Corsair VX550w PSU
please suggest
 
Same here.

Looking for G Man> Asus p5k-vm, 2.66 C2d, 6 GB RAM but running 32 bit Win 8, Corsair 750W, 24" Monitor

Guys please help

For 8k budget, HD7770 is the best performer and OC editionis available for ~7.9k on smc.
For a 10k budget, GTX650Ti is the way to go @~10.4k
You should also mention the resolution which you'll be playing at.
 
@lohith any bottle-necks will stem from your processor, not from the graphics sub-system itself.

Here are the cards that should keep you covered --
  • AMD HD6770 ~7000/-
  • AMD HD7750 (900MHz core-clock) ~7500/-
  • nVidia GTX650 ~9500/-
AnandTech - Bench - GPU12 -- HD7750 vs. GTX650

Upgrade to a 64-bit OS for starters otherwise half the RAM is sitting idle.

Again the same rules for you hold but because of the larger screen estate, these are better --
  • AMD HD7770GHz edition ~9500/-
  • GTX650Ti 1GB ~11000/-
AnandTech - Bench - GPU12 -- AMD HD7770GHz edition vs. nVidia GTX650Ti 1GB.

Hope this helps and wishing all on this thread a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous 2013. Cheers!

Please enlighten me on this - 32bit can address upto ~3.2gb but ram sitting at idle seems preposterous ! :S

You can alwasy install PAE extension for support for upto 4gb in a 32bit OS memory - How can I enable PAE on Windows 7 (32-bit) to support more than 3.5 GB of RAM? - Super User

In Linux you can recompile a kernel it 32bit extension on during module/compilation process.

As for OP resolution, the 19" won't go beyond 900p (1600x900) AFAIK.

All I meant was that the RAM he has installed is not being taken up OR being addressed by the OS.

If he has enabled any of the features that you have recounted on your post, he is covered. Even I was not aware of the same.

@lohith will not go beyond 900p which is why an AMD HD6770 / HD7750 might be more than sufficient but @iyengar has mentioned a 24" screen (1080p), that is why I recommended the more powerful GTX650Ti.

Hope this clears up the mess I caused. Cheers!

P.S. -- Any news on AMD Trinity CPU's (apart from A10)?

Thanks for the replies guys!! max resolution i play is 1440*900!! so 7750 will suffice i guess!! and as for that benches, differences mentioned between the cards(in terms of fps) are also same with low hardware configuration??
anandtech might be using latest i5 or i7 setup..
and those prices you guys are quoting for 7770 Rs.8k, and 7750 900Mhz Rs 7500!! is that prices exclusive of taxes?? in flipkart normal 7750 costing around 7500 Rs!!

^^ No the situation might get exacerbated with your older dual-core processor.

At 1440 x900 I think the performance should be more than acceptable in your case.

I doubt you will get the HD7770 GHz as cheap as ~8000/- on street, expect it to be ~8500/- -->9000/- same for the HD7750, on street pricing will be ~7500/- whilst online prices can be upwards of there. All prices exclusive taxes unless provided with links / proof to the contrary. Cheers!

@OP
Also, if you living in Delhi, check out coat2cost. I saw HD5770 listed for 5.5k on their price list. And HD6770 is nothing but a rebranded HD5770.
Performance wise HD6770 > HD7750.
You get significant performance improvement on HD7770 after that.

Get the HD7770 which I posted above since you have the budget.

Well, we can use more than 3.2gb memory on 32-bit windows using PAE but the performance offered by a machine running 64bit is still better. A proper 64 bit system is recommended if you have 4 Gb or more memory and/or want to get the full benefit of the 64 bit architecture

Why not simply use 64 bit
most major distributions provide a PAE kernel either as the default or as an option (Well, Ubuntu server 32bit and Red Hat is, not sure about others)
The process can a bit complicated for a person who just installs Ubuntu by clicking next next, although I believe its just a flag.

HD7770 is around 10 ~ 15% faster than the GTX650. Also, HD7770 costs less. So better get HD7770.

Order it from here.

Now could any one pls advice as which to go.. I am kinda confused with Green (my brand) GTX 650Ti or RED HD 7770? Flipkart has this Sapphire AMD/ATI HD 7770 1 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card @ 9470/- & ZOTAC NVIDIA GTX 650 Ti 1GB 1 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card @ 11128/- and i have 1K gift coupon to redeem.

Advice pls ALPHA17 & Dark Star

Thanks n advance

If you have a coupon go with 650TI its efficient and plays games well. For anything in 8k range get 7770.

ALso go through the SMC Int. links Ebil has posted. 7770 can be bought for under 8k for the OC edition, thats a darn sweet deal I'd say.

Its true that 64bit will harness more performance cause of almost double addressing modes. But it isn't viable "always" to change the system altogether so if you cannot change the system using PAE makes more sense.

Also not all distribution and processors support 64bit extensions by default. Even major vendors like Ubuntu has recently starts shipping PAE extension by default from 12.10 onwards.

People using older version are forced to build PAE instruction manually. So having PAE as an option either as default or manual installation doesn't hurt.

Edit- Get this one http://www.msi.com/product/vga/R7770-2PMD1GD5-OC.html | http://www.smcinternational.in/inde...ategory_id=33&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=91

Dual cooler for under 8k OC out of the box, provide enough headroom for further OC. Look for the same @FK so that you can use your 1k coupon.

If you are planning to shell >10k I'd advise you to look for 7850 instead, its far more powerful than 650Ti and priced similarly http://www.smcinternational.in/inde...ategory_id=33&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=91

@ALPHA17 - Only three models are available as of now A10 5800k, A8 5600k and A4-5300 (2.9k)

When was the site updated, I don't trust SMC with their prices. Sometimes they put up details and then remove it in the coming days leaving the link either broken OR the product you have requested is out-of-stock. If it is an old link expect it to be junk.

And SMC is the only site that is selling the cards for so cheap, rest everywhere online the same card is retailing North of 9000/-.

Pretty much equal they are and over time with drivers the HD7750 will improve whilst the HD6770 is already past its prime.

Also power consumption is lower on the newer card. Thereby can be used in a HTPC as well.

Call me a scare-monger but I do not see the same prices anywhere else? Only Delhi, that too SMC International and Cost2Cost.

No other site, two from Bombay, one from Chennai and a pan-India retail giant have the same product listed for so cheap.

Thanks for the details on the APU's.

OP's Core 2Duo won't be able to drive a GTX650Ti 1GB OR AMD HD7850 1GB, no point breaking the bank for them in my opinion.
@iyengar, go for a Sapphire / MSi HD7770 from flipkart.com. Just go through the specifications once and get whichever has the higher core-clock and better cooling apparatus.

Hope this helps, Cheerio!

Yea, If you are planning to shell out more than 10k, HD7850 is AWESOME @ 12.7k. I would rate HD7850 better than GTX660, considering its over clocking headroom.

Also, My point for the PAE was that "If the OP can install 64bit OS, then that is a better choice. If its not viable to change the OS altogether, the ofcource PAE makes sense.

Performance wise, HD6770 is better. If we take power consumption into consideration, then HD7750 is the best performing card which does not require any external PCIe power connector.

Also, regarding smc, its been about a 2-3weeks since they updated the prices :p

Wonderful, junk it then because prices have remained North since Q3 2012. And I still do not find the cards retailing elsewhere below ~9000/-.

The HD7850 1GB though is a steal deal.
