Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

But MSI R5770 Hawk Radeon HD 5770 1GB has two fans as compared 2 others
so can i go wid this one :?:

for now it may seem like an unnecessary wastage of money but in long run & when the card is put under constant load for many many hours, it'll be worth the deal. does the card comes with the Tom Clancy's HAWX game? bundled?

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

wanted to buy sparkle 9500GT 512mb. But all shops here are selling crappy 9400GT cards only. what is a better alternative for 9500GT with price not more than 3k or 3.3 k?
This is not for gaming. Only normal work and watching movies in Windows 7.

get HD4550. enough to watch movie + some casual gaming. or HD4650 in your budget. don't get HD5450. its crap.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Dear Friend.. I am using a little bit older computer. I m using Windows 7 with 1 GB ram. whenever i am going to play hd movie there was synchronization error. many says it is due to low end video graphics. I dont have any graphics card apart from onboard graphics(MSI motherboard). My motherboard has 1 8X AGP slot and three PCI slot. Can u please help me if any card available so that i can play hd video smoothly.

1st of all increase your ram. For AGP 8x, Ithink Sapphire HD4670 1GB DDR2 @ 5.1k will be ok. It is a DirectX 10.1 Graphics card and will play ur HD movies flawlessly. Also good for casual gaming.

Zebronics & HD4850 !!! your PSU not provided with 6 pin power connector cause it can't handle all cards needing external power, may handle 9600GT. you may get a molex converter but i doubt your PSU will be able handle that card.

surely good deal. provided final price don't go sky high.

GT 330M is a new naming convention taken by Nvdia for marketing for the laptop graphics card. It is just a renamed GT 230M, which is a middle class laptop graphics card. GT 330M is only having lower power requirement that the GT 230M. Performance wise both are same.

HD 5650 is the DiectX 11 version of Mobility Radeon HD 4650. It is a better performer than GT 330. The nearest performer from Nvidia is GT 360M. It will play even the most demanding games like Crysis in medium-High details with good frame rate. Check the review of Acer 5740G-6979. You can directly get Laptop Graphics card comparison chart from *www.notebookcheck.net site.

well for HD4850, FSP Saga II 400W is good option. it usually cost 2.1k. reliable & good & low cost PSU.

Gigabyte 460W Super @ 2.2k would be suffice for ur card. If not, then Corsair VX 450W @ 3.8 k would be the next best deal at pricey side.

Better go for a Corsair VX 450...
Though it will increase your budget but it will be enough to handle your needs and give u more headroom for future upgrades...

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

1.which is CHEAPEST card to play all games released till date like bioshock 2, COD MW2, GTA4 [i dont care futureproofing, just need cheapest]
at 1024X768 and with atleast 18fps [i will increase or decrease graphics to balance fps]
again, i m talking about cheapest 1024X768 @ 18fps or better card. no futureproofing necessary. just cheapest card.



2.i dont want 8400GS .
is XFX 9400GT 1GB is enough ? or 9500GT 512MB?

9500GT should. get the 512Mb version. else get HD4650 512Mb. both priced almost same. ~3k. however search for Sparkle 9500GT 512Mb DDR2. it usually cost 2.5-2.6k.
