Oh, sorry, forget about the PSU. I think the VX450 can handle the 6950 without any problem. Lightning might be a different beast altogether.

lightning requires minimum 650w psu
MSI R6970 Lightning 2GB - Overclockers Australia

i think, (as per MSI Global – Power Supply Calculator )

my system's total consumption will be approx 387 to 450 watts with 6970

one correction, i have Zebronics 500w platinum PSU

so, i have finalized 6950 2GB for now, and will add CF in future. Asus or MSI or other, searching yet.

let me know ur suggestion.:)

MSI 6950 TFIII & Corsair GS600. These two should be within your 20k budget. Don't skimp on the PSU, it will save you a lots of future headache.

great idea, but 6950 price is more then 20000/- in indore city.... they are charging premium as no one in indore are interested in high end GPU... they are only using on board Graphics


let me check on lynx-india.com

Check SMC also.

SMC stand for?

got it, its *www.smcinternational.in

but its giving MSI R6970 Lightning Graphic Card in 23100 while lynx-india giving same product in too less amount.

i am scared about online purchase, if something goes wrong in card,, then might cause issue with warranty.

Add 5% VAT to Lynx's price. And it will come closer to SMC, but still lesser.

trust me get seasonic ss 850w at power supply you could easily upgrade to 6970 or radeon 7000 series in future.

^^really it is that good?

thats great to hear , topgear told me tx 850 v2 is 7.5k and seasonic unit is just 6.5k so i think it would be an intelligent buy.

6970 -> MSI Lightning
6950 -> MSI TFIII 2gb

what about Asus:?:

one more thing, as i have checked on msi power calculator, its suggest me to have 450w PSU for my config with 6970 Single card.

now, i have 500w titanium zebronics. do i required to upgrade this now or will this support 6970 single card?

As I have already posted MSI 6950 TFIII + Corsair GS600 would be within your 20k budget.

Don't rely on Zebronics SMPS. You don't want to damage your precious graphics card, do you? ;)
