Buying a New PC

[Jaskanwar Singh]

^there is nothing like intel+nvidia and amd+ati. you can put any gfx card with any.

and about processor 2500k. best value and extreme performance.

 

[slashragnarok]

I would like to point out that some games prefer NVIDIA. Heard so.

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

^some are biased towards amd and some towards nvidia. but we should look at unbiased mainly

Ha ha funny
Thanks
So i5 is best for me with nvidia gtx 560 or 570?

 

[slashragnarok]

560 is sufficient I think, get the MSI 560GTX Twin Frozr II/OC.

 

[sid25290]

Is gtx 570 released in india?
What's the price?

^why do you write in center alignment..its tough to read!!

no need for hyper 212+ now as he is not upto OC right now..better CM 430 and Razer cyclosa gaming bundle!!

 

[sid25290]

do i need a PhysX card???

 

[vickybat]

^^ Not right away. 560 can handle physx but performance(fps) will drop. Save up and add another 560 in future instead of a separate physx card.

!

i dont know how to put it in a table.

 

[sid25290]

should i go with MSI R6950 Twin Frozr II/OC or gtx 560
which one is better?
and one more thing
can i get a normal keyboard and mouse and use the saved money to get 8gb ram?
because i do not play many online games
i can do with a normal kb and mouse cant i?

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

@sid25290
sorry my mistake. you cant unlock the twin frozr 6950.
get MSI R6950 2PM2D2GD5 for 15.6k and unlock it to 6970 shaders if you want.

and gaming mice and pad make a difference.
no need of 8gb ram.

P.S. your custom user title is apt.

 

[MegaMind]

^Yep 4GB RAM even if u need extra RAM u can add it later...
So spend on a good GPU...

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

i forgot to mention -

IF you decided on 6950 msi one i mentioned (not twin frozr) and also decided on unlocking it then dont worry we will help you.

 

[akshayt]

Current MSI ones don't unlock AFAIK!

 

[sid25290]

still confused
is MSI R6950 2PM2D2GD5 better then gtx 560?

btw i dnt know anything about unlocking and all
what is this unlocking?

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

most do.
Newegg.com - MSI R6950-2PM2D2GD5 Radeon HD 6950 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity

equal. but 6950 - better crossfire. and ofcourse better when unlocked to 6970 shaders.

unlocking - the process of unlocking the locked shaders on 6970 die to make a 6950. amd locked them with bios.

 

[MegaMind]

By flashing HD 6950 with a HD 6970 BIOS you can get specs and performance of the 6970

Normal 6950,

no need to go for that method.

better safer-3 method is what rchi did -

he used the same bios 6950 ships with!

BUT ITS NOT NECESSARY THAT YOU NEED TO UNLOCK. THE 6950 COMFORTABLY HANDLES EVERYTHING AT FULL HD. its just for more performance.
