1. Which Power Supply do you have? (Be EXACT while naming the company and model)
Ans:Corsair VS 450 with 34 Amps on +12 V

2. What is your budget?
Ans:10 K, 1 or maybe 2 K more, if worth it

3. Which resolution will you game at?
Ans: Currently have a monitor @ 1440x900. Will be buying Full HD at a later date

4. What are your current computer specifications?
Ans: In my Sig.

My current gpu is a bottleneck in the games i'm running (gpu 100%, cpu 75%) like Crysis 3, Farcry 3, Battlefield 3, Tomb Raider NFS MW.... Need to be able to play @ 30 fps average on 1080p

Considering the GTX 750ti currently. Cool, Fast, Silent and less power hungry.
Asus is costly (15 K), Zotac is around 12 K, waiting for MSI, Gigabyte, Galaxy prices.
Any idea what would be the expected price for the R7 265 and the psu requirements and date of launch?

Didn't know that.
What about Galaxy and Gigabyte, compared to performance, etc from zotac and asus cards if we take other 700 series cards?

and what about 265's release date and expected price

GPU 100% and CPU 75% means CPU bottleneck right? Or am I wrong?

R9 260X is the way to go, Best get the ASUS model ( 2+1 year warranty as opposed to Sapphire 1 year)

also, id recommend checking out your local stores before you place order. Sometimes, You will be surprised that they sell stuff at better prices than online retailers

currently bent on these two cards. Both from Zotac
GTX 660 (non ti) @13K and GTX 750 ti @12.2K on flipkart.
GTX 750 being a low power card will work fine with my psu. but the performance increase with the GTX 660 at just Rs 800 more is significant. nvidia says the minimum psu requirement is 450w, mine is corsair vs450 (34A on +12v). since i have OCed my proccy as well (minor increase in Vcore). will GTX 660 be suitable for me?

i am only looking to upgrade my Graphics card at the moment. will be upgrading to a better cpu, motherboard and psu in the coming months.

What The.... !!!
I thought the VS450 had 22 amps on +12V?


@OP
can you please check the psu rating and tell us what its rated for on +12v?
it can be found on the right side of the PSU or on box

^^The older vs450 model had ambiguity whether it was 22A or 30A on+12V output because of different information on their product page and other labels.Check this: Corsair VS450 Power Supply (CP-9020009) - The Corsair User Forums
That model has been discontinued. CORSAIR - PSU Review Database
The newer model according to corsair is rated at 34A at +12V output.*www.corsair.com/en/~/media/Corsair/download-files/manuals/corsair-psu-spec-table-091813.pdf
