Is "Point of View(PoV)" a good brand for graphic cards. How is there service in india.

 

[Skud]

Not so good, and no so easily available in India afaik.

 

[smltngs]

I bought a GTX 560(non-Ti) PoV(yes i understand it is hardly a good brand but since i bought it, cant do anything now). Problem is my card has 2 PCIe(6-pin) ports but my PSU (corsair vx450) only has one PCIe connector. I think i should use molex to PCIe converter but I may not be able to find one in my little town. Please suggest anyplace online where i can buy one or any other options for my problem.

^^Wasn't that supplied with ur GPU?
4 Pin Power Molex to 6 Pin PCI Express Graphics Card

But 400 bucks for this is too much IMO..

 

[smltngs]

No it is not supplied with my GPU. I have seen that ebay link. They take too much delivery time(Indian Postal Delivery).Any other options?

1st My PC specs:
Processor: Intel Core2Duo 2.66 GHz E7300
Motherboard: NVIDIA GeForce 7150/NVIDIA nForce 630i MCP
RAM: 2 GB 800 MHz x 1
HDD: 2 x 500 GB Seagate
PSU: 450 W(local made)
Monitor:AOC 18.5" LCD

Now my questions.
1. I want to buy a low-end graphics card, budget 3k. please suggest me one with price in kolkata. I am a casual gamer.

2. I also want to buy another 2 GB 800 MHz RAM. please tell me this price in kolkata

I will be gratefull if I get a quick reply. I have faith on you guys.

The price of 2GB 800 MHz DDR2 ram is around 1.25K to 1.3K.

For graphics card, try to find out HD 4670 512 MB GDDR3 version. Price will be slightly higher than 3K. Otherwise GT 520 1GB GDDR3 from brands like Zotac, MSI or Asus; should be within 3K.

But my recommendation is increase your budget by 1K and get the Sapphire HD 5670 512MB GDDR5 card around 4.2K

Is ati radeon hd 5450 a good card for gaming?

or what about ati radeon hd 5570

 

[coderunknown]

^^ go with HD5670 512Mb & forget ram upgrade for now. later add 2Gb stick.

HD5450 is a lowend card & not at all worth the investment. even if you use it for casual gaming. HD5570 is a good option but if possible go for HD5670.
