Best graphic card under 10k

[Moy]

Hi friends,

My system configuration is

Processor:- AMD a8 3870k
Mobo:- Asus F1A55-M
RAM:- 8GB(4GBx2) DDR3 Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz
PSU:- Corsair VS450

In future I will add two more HDD drive and an optical drive. My question is that without upgrading my PSU which graphic card is the best option for my system under 10k?

You may go with ati hd 7770 , it costs around 9k.

preferably Sapphire
Sapphire AMD/ATI HD 7770 1 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card vs Sapphire AMD/ATI Radeon HD 6790 1 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card vs Sapphire AMD HD 7770 OC Edition 1 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card: Compare Graphics Cards: Flipkart.com

ignore 6790 card in the comparision

SAPPHIRE 6850 PCIE 1 GB
or
Theitdepot - HIS Radeon HD6850 Fan 1GB GDDR5 ATI PCI E Graphic Card (H685FN1GD)
or see if cheaper available locally.

I think "Sapphire AMD HD 7770 OC Edition 1 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card" is the best option for me...

Go for HD7770 eyes closed. HD6790 is older gen card, so ignore it. 7770 will get better and better with coming driver updates for 7xxx series cards from AMD.

ummm 6850 is 256 bit memory interface while 7700 is 128 bit. there are some other mismatch too:

Radeon HD 6850 vs Radeon HD 7770 – Performance Comparison Benchmarks @ Hardware Compare

technically 6850 has higher configuration and higher price tag.

Moy, what game will u be playing? this chart here says 550Ti & 6850 both do better than 7770 in BF3.

6850 might benefit from the wider memory bus but the 7770 will be much more power efficient becuase it is buit on a newer mfg. tech: 28nm vs 40nm for the 6850.. It has zero core tech and much more so although it might be slightly slower, it is a better option.
This is just for an estimate of performance:
The 7770 defeats the 6790 in performance(and power) and comes really close to the 6850. There is around 2-5% difference between them...
+1 for the 7770!

I will play AC3, FIFA 13, and the next COD, and I'll not be able to upgrade my psu. So which will be better? I think 7770 is better.

IMO, get MSI GTX560 @10K.
And there is no need to upgrade the PSU you are currently using.

if u can find 560 @10k then it's best deal , but question is where u find that *static.d-addicts.com/da/forum/images/smiles/icon_scratch.gif?

If I am not wrong MSI GTX560 is a Nvidia chipset gfx card. Can I cross-fire it?
