My budget is Rs 8000 to 10000...

Please suggest some good option.....

nvidia 460 or amd 6850 or if u can increase your budget a bit then you can go for 6870.if you are tight in budget then my pick will be 6850.
you can have a look here
ATI/AMD
and
Nvidia

MSI 6850 Cyclone. And if you can stretch your budget a bit, nothing beats a 6870.

Check the Street Price of HD 6870. For Full HD or 1920X1080 gaming, a HD 6870 is highly recommended over a HD 6850 or GTX 460, which are, now a days actually minimum to have decent game playing experience with high settings.
Check for Sapphire HD 6870. In Kolkata it is available @ 10.8K + 4% vat.

will not mind in spending a 1K for a good card

however my PSU has only one 6 pin power connector, so the card should only require one 6 pin power..

also will my poccy bottleneck the card...

 

[Skud]

You can use the molex to PCI-e connector for the graphics card. And regarding that CPU, there will be bottleneck even with the 6850.

I don't find much sense in keeping both 6850 and 6870 by amd, with just 1k price difference 6870 is much better card, 6850 looks sandwiched atm.

 

[Skyh3ck]

so which should i go fo i am tight on budgt

which card will be good with the current proccy

 

[Omi]

Whichever card you choose the bottleneck will be CPU.
If you are really very tight go for 6850, But if you can spare a 1000 more 6870 is the best you can get in that range.

 

[Cilus]

Opt for HD 6870 if you can 1K more. Regarding the bottleneck, try to overclock your CPU a bit. I think it can handle the game in 1440X900 resolution.

@OP:

as per your 1st post you would be upgrading to a quad core, so get the 6870.

 

[Zangetsu]

@sumesara: if u r upgrading to a better CPU then 6870 is the best card u can buy..

 

[Skyh3ck]

well i will only get a crd with 6 pin connector

will settle fo 6850

but if say my budget is 5000 to 7000,, then which one is good...

 

[Skud]

Radeon HD6770. Better get that 6850.

 

[xtremevicky]

Get HD 6850 ! Worth the extra money !

@sumesara
if you are able to spend 1k more and can get 6870 then why you are bothered about the pci e connector?skud has already told you that you can use molex to pci e connector.

i cant take chances with convertor...

will only focus on 6850, if the price of 6870 is falling anytime soon then will wait other 6850 is good

also why not Asus and XFX... is it something to do with Rashi..... and the service... how the card from Asus and XFX is...

how good the service is of Sapphire, EVGA and MSI....

 

[Cilus]

Don't get XFX cards, apart from Service by Rashi, they have serious build quality issues. 2ndLy MSI card HD 6850, we are suggesting here, is a factory overclocked card with custom cooler. So it performs better than the reference models of HD 6850.

 

[Skyh3ck]

how good Asus, Powercolor, are

how about their service..and warranty

my GTS 250 is running at 85 C, is it OK...... the fan speed is 80%

 

[Skud]

Asus and PowerColor are both good. Asus is serviced by Rashi!

BTW, your temp of GTS 250 is during load or idle?
