Gigabyte 460W is good enough - but corsair VX450W is the best one you can get in the market :p

Corsair is the Mercedez of PSUs. Rock solid...! I know one day my motherboard or CPU will die on me, but my PSU ain't ever going too....!

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Hi. Back after a long time.

Question,
My friend has the following config:-
intel core2duo e5200
1x1gb DDRII 667MHz RAM
160gb HDD
intel g31 mobo
el-cheapo 400W PSU!

He has a budget of 6-8k and wants to upgrade.
I suggested he get a geforce 9600gt and at least 3gb RAM, preferably 4.
The PC will primarily be used for gaming.

Budget is ultra-tight so the cheaper the upgrade the better.

Is it worth getting say, a 9800gt and a better SMPS instead of RAM? I doubt it but i would like your views on this. He'll be using Win7 x64.

Any other suggestions? a different g card?

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

It will be much wiser to get a 9800GT or a 9600GT along with a good PSU instead of more ram uograde.

For 8k - Palit or Galaxy 9800GT around 5.5K and Gigabyte superb PSU 460W around 2.5 K.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

He has only 2 gb ram, with win 7, it effectively becomes 1gb. One of my friends bought a laptop with a radeon 4570 and 4gb RAM, it easily gave double the performance of an 8600gt with 2gb RAM.

Is the 8600gt that weak or the RAM that effective? I'm not sure.

Will the same logic work in this case?

The gigabyte has the required power cables for the card?

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^ first of all what monitor does he has , if its around 19' then
9800gt ~ Rs 5k , Gigabyte superb 460w ~ Rs 2.2k and add another 1 gb ram @ 1k
Total = ~ 8.2k .
If monitor size is less then 19' then get 9600gt , zebronice pro 500w , 2gb or 1gb ram for around 7-8 k depending on ram .
Or he can also wait for HD5670 which would be vfm if its around 5.5-6k

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^ May I know which 9800GT is selling for 5K - mention the brand name.

@ r4gs - if you can get a 9800gt around 5k as said in the above post that could be your best bet along with some ram or wait a little more and get HD5670.

BTW, GB superb 460W has all required connectors for the gfx card.

^^ i said ~5k , anyway just checked with a dealer friend ( from lamington road )and found out palit 9800gt 512mb is for about 5.2k and zotac 9800gt for 5.4k . Dont buy xfx since they now only sell the green edition ones .

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Sorry, been very busy.

Anyway,
turns out he has an core2duo e4300.
Also, PSU is a 450W frontech. The 9600gt/ati 4670 can run on this right? They don't need extra power connectors.
Monitor is 17" (@1440x900).

9600 and ram seems to be more preferable as the e4300 isn't really that powerful.

He'll be waiting maybe a month before purchase. Will the 5670 be out by then?

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^ for a 17' monitor the 9600gt setup is good enough but if he isnt going to change his psu then better go with a 4670 . 5670 wont be vfm if it cost more then 6k !!

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Like I said, he's on an ultra-tight budget. The cheaper the better.

Finally,
I'll tell him to get the 4670 and at least 2gb more ram.

I wud prefer to be on the safe side and get HD5670 512MB @ 5.5k

It consumes 55W at load only and heck it performs real close to 9800GT plus it comes with low idle power and a cartload of features enjoyed by the HD5800 series.....
