Ya i guess i can keep HD6970 as an option. Although i really done need 2Gb frame buffer..as the max resolution ill be playing will be full HD. In terms of raw processing power GTX570 trumps HD6970. If HD6970 is 20k at SMC, it could be even cheaper with my local dealers.. I managed to...

Ya he told me its B3 rev. Ill check on the box too at the time of purchase. I dont want to get a AMD card(not that they are bad). For GTX570 i dont want to go with MSI as only refrence design based 570's are available here. The GTX570 refrence design runs lot hotter. In India already the...

Oh ****!:-( How can they do that? U mean to say that the quotes will be diffrent and when i finally go for purchase they will not stick to the quotes?? Didn't u shout at em..that how could they change their mind? :punch: I too thought that the prices are at the lower side so every shop i...

Ya, i kno. I spent the last 20 days reading about which GTX 570 to get. No way im getting a reference design one. I have only 2 options: either Asus GTX 570 Direct CU II Or even cooler running and significantly faster(with positive reviews) Palit GTX570 Sonic platinum. And no both HD 6970...

If 10k is the street price then i think the dealers were quoting the correct price. I was under the impression that ill get a quote of 11k at least(after seeing this forum + online stores for a month). So when 6 dealers quoted me 10200 for i5-2500k and Rs 9800 for i5-2500 i had my doubts. I...

Ya but all of them were like they would get the componets out only when i come to buy. I dont want that when i finally go there with cash..it turns out they were refering to other componts in the quotes.(eg: i5 2400 processor instead of i5 2500k) One thing u can do to help me is tell me if Rs...

Hey everybody, yesterday i visited the 'nehru place/lamington road equivalent' area of hyderabad called ctc. I got some quotes for my upcoming i5 2500k build. I was positively surprised:shock: to find that the prices quoted were much lower than what i read on this forum and online stores...

Thats bad! Itdepot are quoting the cheapest prices on the SMPS(corsair 650TX) but the CM 690 II advanced is available at other places too. Corsair 650tx is not less than 6500 and then shipping extra at other online stores.:sad: I went through a lot of cases(including Antec ones) but CM 690 II...

For which components?

Heh heh..ok thanks. So the packaging will be fine. What do u think about rest of the config/prices?

Thats good. Thanks for replying. Do u know about the quality of packaging such online stores do for big things like cabinet? Is it put in another bigger box..because ill be ordering the SMPS too..

Hey everybody i am beginning my i5 2500k and GTX570 based build. Im thinking of starting off by ordering my Case and SMPS first from the itdepot.com. Ill try getting the rest locally. So it will be great if some of u share experiences of ordering stuff from itdepot. I live in Hyderabad and...

Thanks for the review.:-) The card is nicely OCed out of box..but the asus card they are comparing it to is reference based design(else they specify). This Palit card is sexy performer..but my issue is tempatures.(even if it means slightly lower performance). Thats why im after that asus card...

Yes this is a non reference design but its Palit. Ill get it if i cant find MSI or Asus non ref. I saw the gigabyte one when i was looking through ebay. It has nice reviews but buying from ebay is expensive..ill check with my local dealers. MSI reference 570 cards are having some bios...

Exactly! Although i dont have the desire(read: money) or the money for sli. I just want to buy a the asus DirectCU II card. But cant find the stupid thing.:sad:
