Hi,

I want to buy a graphics card for my pc:

Intel i5 2400 3.1Ghz
Zion Hynix 4GB DDR3
Intel BH67BLB3
VIP 300W SMPS
LG 1366x768 LED monitor
Seagate 500GB.

I currently use the onboard Intel HD 2000. I would like a graphics card that will allow me to play games at my monitor resolution (1366x768) at ultra settings...
What would you recommend? I was thinking of the HD 7750 or GTX 650..
Are they not enough or overkill?
Budget:less than 15k.
My power supply is 300W but will be able to handle the gtx 650 i guess because 95[cpu]+65[gpu]+50[otherstuff] is less than 250W....

Thanks

I would prefer the nvidia 600 series or amd 7000 series because they have the latest tech and low power consumption...

Nothing is really an overkill these days. You have a decent processor and also a decent budget i.e 15k. I think you should be looking forward to upgrade ur psu. Get a
1)Corsair GS600 ~ 4.1 k and a
2)GTX 560 Non Ti~ 11k OR
hd 6850 ~10.2k(if you can find one) and OC it to a good 920 mhz OR
hd 7770 ~8.2k.

If you really dont want to upgrade ur psu (bad choice IMO)then get a 7750. Still I am not sure if your 300 W psu can really handle it.

That is what i was thinking of but can the HD 7750 handle 1600x900 at high-ultra setting? Reviews indicate that the GTX 650 is better although it has 'slightly' higher power consumption....


*tpucdn.com/reviews/MSI/GTX_650_Power_Edition/images/perfrel.gif

the gtx 650 is around 5-10% faster than the HD 7750....

It is also more efficient... It can consume a max of 62watts.. while the Radeon 7750 can consume 50watts max....

HD7750 is available for around 6.2k whereas gt650 is available for around 8.5-9k or more.
HD7770 is available for around 8.2k.HD7770 performs much better than gt650.

If you are going to change monitor to a full hd one then get GIGABYTE RADEON HD 7850 2GB DDR5 OC-13.7k or else get the hd7770.
Change the PSU to corsair cx430v2.It is not worth taking a risk with that PSU.That PSU might not even deliver 180Watts on its 12V rail.

You would be getting fps in the 20s in high req games @ultra,1650*1080.

Your whole idea of sticking with your crappy PSU is refraining you from better options. And the working of a psu isnt that simple as u assume it to be. I bet your psu would have less than even 70 % efficiency. Buying a good psu will not only help u get a better gpu but also allow you to make future upgrades.

talking about future proofing I suggest Op to get a Corsair CX430v2 @ 2.5k and a HD7850 1GB @ ~12.5k-13k - flipkart was selling it for 13.9k so it must be cheaper local shops though finding it may be an issue but it's the best GPU+PSU combo Op can get and even if he upgrades t a HD monitor later this card will give him enough performance in every game with high to moderate settings.

^^ i know .... its cause 560 EOLed. it was too difficult for me to get a piece 2-3 week ago locally. but 560 is slightly better than 650ti - better hardware, more memory bus, 650 has better architecture and more efficient use of resources. overall, 560 is same level as 650ti with 1-1.5 fps better in most DX11 games.
but its probably a bit better than 650ti in <DX11 games.

7750 < 650 < 7770 < 650ti <= 560 < 560 Ti < 7850 < 660.

Don't stick with that psu. CHange it and invest in a better GPU as the others are suggesting.

You can get 40-50 fps with HD 7750 at that resolution if you have good processor IE i3 or i5.

Power consumption doesn't matter. Only matters if you want to save money equal to 3 packets of Uncle Chips in ONE year.

I'd suggest you to buy HD 7770 @ 8.2k. It is faster than GTX 650 and cheaper as well.

Change PSU as well. Corsair CX430v2 @ 2.4k.

Don't buy a graphic card if you don't want to change your PSU.

I've found two graphics cards which I would buy:

Asus AMD/ATI HD 7750 1 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card | Graphics Card | Flipkart.com

ZOTAC NVIDIA GeForce GTX650 1GB 1 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card | Graphics Card | Flipkart.com

the gtx650 is Rs.100 costlier so i guess it is a better choice... although the 7770 can be got for 300 rs. more....

Just wanted to ask a question...

I was too lazy to create a new thread.. :p
I just want to make sure that HD7850 would work with CX430 or Seasonic S12II 520W..

Yes, at stock & for casual OCing also. Btw what are your specs ?? The extent to which you can OC your GPU will depend on the power your remaining rig consumes.
