Graphic Card with 10k?

[dominoanty]

I have a 9500GT now ..which practically will suck for playing Arkham City, Battlefield3,Modern Warfare 3 , Revelations
My monitor is 1920 x 1080 a 22" AOC monitor so i need a new gfx card for playing at a good resolution..
These are my specs now :

1 TB Western Digital Caviar Green i guess" As a replacement for my old destroyed 500gb hdd..
2.33 GHz Core 2 Quad Q6600 ..
4 GB DDR2 800 MHz Ram .. [Just let this one pass ]
Intel DG35EC motherboard
GeForce 9500GT 1GB DDR 2

TLDR: Need new Graphic Card for less than 10k.. Possibly 460 GTX? I do not prefer ATI gfx cards

 

[gameranand]

why don't you prefer ATI ?? They are quite good I must say.

Why not ATI/AMD? MSI 6850 Cyclone would be the best option in your budget.

6850 is best option within 10k hands down!!no arguments over there!!

 

[rajnusker]

33 GHz Core 2 Quad Q6600 ..

That's some kind of beast you got there! From which planet have you bought it? PSU details?

 

[topgear]

^^ read carefully - it's 2.33Ghz

2.33 GHz Core 2 Quad Q6600 ..

what PSu do you have ? Brand and Model name ?

 

[dominoanty]

I have heard that there are bugs in ATI cards? Is that all just BS? I actually liked the price point of the 6850. If I go for 6850 , is it in any way better than the 460 GTX? And if I decide to pick this one up , which manufacturer should i get ? The one I have now is Galaxy and my comp guy picked the manufacturer . But now since I know that there are differences , is MSI the best one ? Cause I heard MSI cards are overclockable to sw33t h34v3n ?

 

[Skud]

For 6850, MSI Cyclone is one of the best model, if not the best. And regarding bugs, well, what to say. Pure BS.

Another vote for MSI 6850 Cyclone. Its really the best card ~10K range without any doubt.

 

[topgear]

yep Under 10k - HD6850 cyclone PE should be considered - it's actually just Rs.~9k but OP needs to tell us which PSu or Power Supply Unit he has ??

 

[abhinavmail1]

Msi cyclone R6850 PE/OC priced at 9.8k+free shipping at smcinternational,it is the best card under 10k

 

[MegaMind]

Msi cyclone R6850 PE/OC - 9450/-

Yes, he will need 600Watts PSUto run it. Best choice would be Corsair GS600 @4K

 

[Cilus]

600W is not needed. Tagan Stonerock 500W @ 3K is enough for it. However, my vote is also for GS600 as it is amore future proof solution.

 

[topgear]

If Op wants to save 1k then he can get Tagan Stonerock 500W - the 36A amp on +12v should be enough for OPs need

nVidia Option: (which is lesser performing than a HD6850) GTX 550 Ti.
Its approx 1k cheaper but slower by a good margin.

The "new" GeForce GTX 460 cards from Palit and Gigabyte (see my other thread) are available at ~9.2K. They perform similar to the 6850 and thus can be considered a good NVIDIA alternative.

BTW GTX 550 Ti OC edition from MSI is also a good option (I think MSI has a 550 Ti Cyclone version) at about 8.6K.

 

[dominoanty]

I decided on the 560 Ti

 

[topgear]

^^ which brand ?? and what's the price ?? it's not around ~10k for sure

You can also take a look at HD6950 1GB which is around ~13k - performs neck to neck with 560 Ti and consumes a little less power - for any of these cards get a good PSU like Seasonic S12 II Bronze 520W @ 3.5k or Corsair GS600 @4k
