Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

I've an idea to buy the XFX Radeon 5750 card.. But in one of the review i came to know that it is of dual slot design.. What is a dual slot design ? will it occupy two pci-e slots in my motherboard ?

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

It will not occupy 2x PCI.E expansion slots on the motherboard, will be just one. But the thickness of the card will be such, that it will occupy to PCI.E cabinet ports. One would be for the DVI/VGA connectivity, and second would have cooling fins.So two slots will be occupied on the back panel of the cabinet.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

but his budget is 10k....so 5770 is the best choice here...

May be .. but read the post below - first it was 8-9K and then he increased it - so I thought it might be around 16k only for the gfx card as he has asked about HD5850

Hey guys...can u pls list down the best buy graphics card as in terms of performance at around 8-9k.I have increased my budget a little bit as i want a graphic card for a longer term.How is HD5750 compared to HD5850,HD5770 n other series...pls suggest which is a high performer within my budget.thanx in advance

One more thing....does the memory bus width makes a major difference....as in 256bit is better than 128bit...???


Hey guys pls reply......:-(

I don't hv any ideao abt the processor model and my RAM in DDR2 3gb...so HD5770 is better than HD5750 right??

Do what piyush120290 has told you or follow this method :

Open My Computer and right click on any free space where the drive listing are showing and select and click properties or Right click on My Computer icon and select and left click on Properties - it should show you your CPU model name along with speed and amount of Ram.

As Sam.Shab has suggested get HD5770 along with corsair Vx450W which will cost you around 13.5-14K :p

I think u have C2D E7200 or sumthing nearby series.....;-)

to check the processor model & RAM....do this
1) Press Alt + Double click My Computer icon.....then sys properties will popup
& there u can c ur processor model.....+ RAM info

or

2) Press Windows key + Pause Break button on keyboard 2 do the same.....thing


;-)

Note: This is very very important u shud have a ATX cabinet.....a BiG one coz the Radeon HD5770 is 10.5" monster....so it needs Biggy Space to breath...other dont put it in a congested cabby....
it very big card.....so old cabby will not fit it properly.....

Get some cab for 2.1
The zebronics antibiotic or the NXZT gamma are cool choices

Ya Man...older cabby will blast it with smoke.....:x
u will need a big cabby for this 10.5" card....
Sapphire HD5770 is best.....but u can go for powercolor 5770.....which is
rs 300 cheaper

& if higher resolution is not ur concern then u can go for the 512MB 5770 cards...which r much cheaper than 1GB variant...
just check for there availablity in the market ;-)

u can. if u got the money. also future games wil demand more. so you won't need upgrade for long time, rather than swapping cards again & again in future.

i not think 512Mb version of HD5770, or even HD5750 readily available. lets wait for 1-2 months more. it'll be great to have HD5750 512Mb at price of HD5670 1Gb.

other cabby will accommodate too. however OP should search for above mentioned cabby to avoid problems. cause the power cables can turn out to be a notorious fellow.

either Sapphire or Powercolor. avoid Asus & XFX. if MSI, get the HAWX edition.

get card based on ATI HD4650, Nvidia 9500GT. other cards will either be out of your budget or are priced too close to the duo and don't justify price.

you can get a Hd4650 or 9500Gt as Sam.Shab has suggested. Try to get a DDR3 version of these cards.

BTW, your mobo PCI Express x 16 slot works only at x4 bandwidth mode - so the performance of the graphics will be bottlenecked.

If you can get a new mobo - do mention what cpu you have and your PSU brand and model and wattage too.

Yes, there is some DDR2 based gfx cards sporting 128 bit mem bus but as always there performance is not so great as their DDR3 versions.

a GT220 will cost you around Rs. 3.5-4K so it's better to buy a HD4670 512MB/1GB DDR3 card around 4.5K :p

I dont want to upgrade rest of the components coz this pc is just for basic purpose of downloading and surfing, so i dont mind much with the performance...
My current graphic card is giving problems(6200LE) and my onboard graphics is also not working(though it used to work before, dont know why)...
Had my onboard worked I wouldnt have bothered to even purchase new graphics card...
Thats why i m looking for just a nominal graphic card so that this pc will resume working normally...

under 3k, as his budget, i don't think he'll get a DDR3 version. add to it, its rare. whats widely available is 1Gb DDR2. spell *CRAP*.

WTH. its like APG in the form of PCIe. gigabyte doing everything to cut the cost. even the Southbridge heatsink missing. holy lord.

however the performance of these low end cards already low. so X4 or X8 or X16. performance will be almost same.

looks like your IGP gone kaput. maybe spike. maybe temperature issue or maybe all the transistors died off. go for 9500GT or HD4650. don't go for 9400GT or HD4350/HD4550. just too low in power. you mayn't game, but at least it'll serve u for longer period.
