[tkin]

560 is overpriced, ideally it should be below 11k.

 

[Piyush]

No, that psu sucks, get corsair CX or GS series, or at least a FSP SAGA.

 

[The Day Walker!]

Yes and no. Let me explain.

nVidia phyx requires nVidia gpu to run, but nvidia locked it down so even if you have a nvidia card for physx but use ati card for gaming then phyx will be disabled, a hack bypasses this and allows you to use nvidia card for phyx while using ati card for gaming, but to run phyx you must have a nVidia card(8 series or above with 32 cuda cores and 256MB mem)

So we can install PhysX System Software which are required to run games like Mafia II, on any ATI cards but cannot get any physX support from it. Cool!

Anyway which is better HD 5570 or GTX 550ti ??

 

[Tenida]

Don't go either of them instead consider Gtx 450 or Ati 6670.Gtx450 is far better than 550 ti.

GTX550 is faster, it competes with 5770 afaik.

But Gtx550ti consumes

System in IDLE = 168W
System Wattage with GPU in FULL Stress = 289W
I think its power hungry card

Whereas MSI gtx560Ti TFII OC consumes
System in IDLE = 147W
System Wattage with GPU in FULL Stress = 289W

Gtx560ti is far more powerful than 550ti

 

[The Day Walker!]

will go to the distributor 2day...2 check for teh psu and any other card...
asked for the zotac gtx 560 768mb card..
but sadly he said that only 1gb version is available.....thats is for 10.3 k...
so any other suggestions.........
for not more then 9k....

p.s. is physx important and does it makes any diference in game play????? is it still used in upcoming games much????

thanx

[Piyush]

one should get these

Budget ~5.5k -->HD 6670

Budget ~6.5k -->GTS 450

Budget ~7.5k -->HD 6770

Budget ~8.5k -->GTX 460 (768 MB)

Budget ~9.5k -->HD 6850

Budget ~10.5k -> GTX 460 1GB

Budget ~12k -->HD 6870

Budget ~13.5k -->HD 6950 (1gb) OR GTX 560 TI

Budget ~15k -->HD 6950 2GB

That is total system power consumption, including the cpu, and more.

NO...a big NO
it usually slows down the frame rates because of added calculations and he effects so obtained are not that much commendable seeing the overall performance of the game

 

[Skud]

Nicely summed up Piyush.

At 10.5k, probably the 460 1gb fits in, if its still available.

 

[Tenida]

Another good card is there

Ati 6790-Rs 7.8k- better than 6770

 

[piedpiper]

Sorry mate!! I meant HD 5770. As of now 5770 is re-branded to 6770 which one would you choose and better? GTX 550ti ?

6770, better yet, 6790.

hmmm.....I looked for some benchmarks
the performance difference between 6850 and 460 1gb is negligible

however those who want to experience PhysX will pay for it anyways....

 

[Skud]

Newer drivers, I guess. When it initially comes out the 6850 was slower than the 460 1gb. Of course, those were OCed cards. But 1k extra for PhysX only??!!
