my currents spec are:
Processor: Intel E5300 @ 3.12 GHz
Motherboard: Gigabyte E31M-ES2L
Ram/Memory: Kingston 3GB DDR2 800MHz
Graphic Card: Nvidia 9400GT 1GB GDDR2
Monitor/Display: LG 17" (1440X900)
i am thinking of buying a new graphic card and my budget is till 10k
first i thought of gtx 460 but now there is gtx 550ti too, and there are ati cards like 5770 and 6790 which also lie in this price range
which is the best for the bucks??
i wanted to ask as i have a old motherboard it has a PCI Express x16 slot and not a PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot which all these cards support but i also heard that all 2.0 cards r backward compatible with 1.1 .So what is the major difference between the two
one other curious thing abt every electronics item or computer peripheral available in India is that it is always expensive then usa or any other country
like for eg the cost of the 550ti in us is abt 150$, thats abt 6.5K but its retail price in India is about 9-9.5K.this is the thing i dont get ,if everything has to be manufactured from China ,then why does it cost less in Usa than in India even though it has to travel more distance(assuming graphic cards r made in china,CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG)
