I need to decide between the 550 Ti and 5770. I would mostly be gaming at 720p or 1080p at mid settings. Suggest me which GPU has the best bang for buck and also please tell me their prices because I can't actually find the actual price as my dealer has not seen the 550 Ti ever.

Get the MSI HD 6850 Cyclone Power Edition from SMC, priced at 9.5K. It has a custom cooler for better cooling and it is highly factory overclocked, clocked at 840 MHz, compared to the standard 775 MHz.

Well, here OP is talking about 5770 about which no-one give any info.
Or am I missing something?

On the question, definitely 550ti is better, performance wise and benchmarking wise. So, if your option is between 550ti & 5770, its better to go with 550ti.

He's gonna game at medium settings. So even a 5770/6770 should suffice.

@OP:
Post your full system config for better suggestions.

Depends on the game. For most games it can run at highest settings @ 1080p.

Since I would be gaming at medium to high settings and resolution can vary from 1024 x 768 to 1920 x 1080 depending on the graphics and frame rates, I'm willing to adjust. So let me tell you my config that I would be going for probably 1 month from now.


AMD Phenom II x4 840 - 4800/-
Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H - 4100/-
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 ST31000528AS 1TB - 2875/-
FSP Saga II 500W - 2300/-
Logitech MX518 Mouse - 850/-
CORSAIR Vengeance 4GB RAM - 2300/-
CPU Case - 700/-

Total: 18575/-

Since my budget is 25k - 30k which also includes a monitor and I was thinking of buying a G2220. I also have my present system that I am willing to sell so that my budget can be adjusted. Please advice the price I would get for this old config:

ASUS P5QPL - AM Motherboard
Intel E5200 CPU running @ 3.4GHz
iBall Case
17" CRT Monitor
HCL Speakers (2)
nVidia GeForce 8400GS GPU
250 GB Seagate Hard Disk
Moserbaer 22x DVD Writer
2 GB RAM Running @ 667MHz

it's better to go with Phenom II X4 955BE cpu @ 5.6k
Corsair Vengeance is now around ~1.8k for 4GB stick ;-)
Where did you find Logitech MX-518 for so cheap ( it's around 1.3k ) - care to share ??

Don't go for a 700 bucks cabby - at-least get a NZXT Gamma @2k - it has much better ventilation in it's price range and try to increase the budget a bit more ;-)
