please suggest a good gpu for games & 3d software
I din't want upgrade my pc
plz reply immediatly
I'm frm new delhi

1st change ur SMPS. get Gigabyte 460W if u can find for 2.2-2.3k. else get VIP. watts not sure. As for GFX card, u may go4 HD5670 512Mb if u can fit it in ur bill. else get HD 4670 1Gb. over it is an overkill for both ur system & monitor.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Considering the processor, almost any current gen card is overkill.
An 8600gt or 4570 with a RAM upgrade will be better. Won't need to change the SMPS then. Though i think the 4670 doesn't require extra power, but am not sure.

If possible, change the processor. Seriously.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

hello all!
i have e7300 c2d-3.33 ghz
8600gt 512 mb ddr3

i have decided to buy a new graphics card.
it is either asus 4890 1GB ddr5 voltage tweak @ Rs. 12600
OR

zotac gtx275 896 MB ddr3 @ Rs.14000.
please suggest which i should buy
or should wait for a few months for the nvidia's new gtx300 deries(fermi) and /or price reduction of ati's 5xxx series?
my budget is 14k MAXIMUM.
any suggestion are welcome
PS: please dont suggest hd5770. its just dx11 at very low fps.

off the topic: its really difficult to find hd4890 or gtx275 in markets(nehru place).had to order them specially from rashi peripherals in delhi and even they didnt have these in stock. they ordered these from mumbai office.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

i'd say go for hd4890 at 12.6k
yeah i too want to buy the 4890
but ati does not support physx, that is getting more and more popular in games.
how 'bout waiting for a few months to see if 5870 or 5890 ccomes in my budget?:smile: ?

thanks for the link of games. :) Though PhysX should not be the sole reason not to get a red card.

Xfire 4890 -- Warhead:
I get average 38FP all maxed out (motion blur off) on 1920 x 1080. Crysis is a game like this. Taxing.

get 9500Gt 512Mb DDR2 as price difference between 9400Gt 1Gb & 9500Gt 512Mb is almost negligible.

Which brand is good?

what about GT 210? IT looks cheaper than 9500GT.

You'd better stick with IGP instead of getting GT 210... Didnt see a thing with that... Crap.. Only for those who wants to get rid of IGP, for namesake and for very basic usage...

i play at 1360x768.
so i should be getting more fps than you.
on 8600gt, at everything maxed out, i got average of 12 fps with overclocking!! :lol: (obviously unplayable!)
hopefully i should get 30-40 fps with single oc'ed 4890!:wink:

yeah.
my only dilemma is whether i should wait for gtx300 series or should i get the hd4890?
buying the 4890 would be like buying something just on the cusp of a newer technology.
i am no ati/nvidia fanboy.
i like every thing maxed out in my games.

I had a single HD4890 on a 1400 x 900. I was able to 'play' Warhead all maxed out -- with motion blur off. Yea, you can wait for the green cards to come out, or put in a bit more money, and get a HD5850. What is your over all system configuration..?

@ prvprv: GT210 is 9400Gt. so performance is same. Crap. Better IGP such as HD4200 & OC it.

c2d e7300 2.6ghz(oc to 3.33 ghz)
intel dg35ec mobo (g35 chipset)
2gb ddr2 @ 800mhz
500gb seagate hdd
1360x768 monitor(that i dont plan to upgrade soon)
what was the fps you got at that res and single 4890 with everything max?
to be completely smooth, i expect it should be about 30-40 fps :?: ??

i thought it was gtx300. judt googled it.
some results came that said nvidia has skipped 300 series.
could that mean revolutionary changes? :)):))
