Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

I plan to buy a new graphic card based on NVIdia with DX11 in mind basically(will crysis 2 be a DX11 game), i have a budget of 10000-13500 bucks..please tell me is it worth buying a DX11 card, will there be that many DX11 games coming this year?? or should i get a gtx 260 to game or wait for nvidia to release more cards of DX11 and another thing will ATI cards work on mt Nforce 750 motherboard..i have a strict budget..can't be taken up or down...I'd be really grateful to hear from you guys.

I have the following configuration
processor - core 2 duo E6750 extreme
motherboard- Asus P5N-D SLI(nvidia 750 SLI)
Ram- Corsair XMS2 running at 800mhz DDR2
Graphic card- MSI NX8800GT
power supply- cooler master 650W
Lcd- samsung 19 inch

no card from Nvidia is a good buy now. go for ATI. go Nvidia if you have excellent cooling in your room + cabinet. moreover your PSU (if its from Extreme series) won't hold an Nvidia card. best is MSI HD5770 HAWX & with the remaining money get 2Gb extra ram.

and ATI cards will run just fine. no issue out there

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

you answered the question yourself.

rendering --> cards used in rendering, encoding, etc.
gaming --> to play games

actually main difference is in the firmware used in the cards. so they accept different drivers. & a rendering driver can't play game. cause its not designed to do so.

For your budget as of now HD5770 is good. But if you plan to play at higher resolution, than a more power accelerator would be required. Regarding Crysis 2, no one as of now can tell how taxing it would be on the hardware. Primarily how much tessellation it will offer, which kills the Dx11 cards. To early to commit. Else you could wait till Crysis 2 is launched (not a bad idea).

You CPU has an unlocked multiplier..?

i dnt have excellent cooling in my room but have 2 intake and 2 exhaust fans on my cabinet by CM...ok i'll take your advice and probably go for 5770 HAWX.

@ 13.5k, ATI HD 5830 is also a good choice. It has a little less performance than the HD 5850, very good performer and far better performer that HD 5770. It is almost as fast as Nvidia GT 465, which is priced at 16.2k.

You can go for MSI HD5830 Twin Frozr II 1GB @ 13.8k. It has a better cooling solution. The card is highly overclockable and can actually beat GTX 465, when overclocked properly.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^
+1
5830 is less recommended here
but i've heard too and saw the results that 5830 is better than 5770
nice one at that price point

thanx for the input dude.will my CM extreme power 650W be able to take 5830..i'm running MSI NX8800GT OC(well it was the best offering at that time) on it..or i'll need to change it..it has 2 12v rails..that's not a problem..or should i see out this month to see what NVIDIA releases in dx11 so that'll effect the overall pricing scene for ATI also?and the ATI card does not have support for PhysX aswell if i'm not wrong..

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Hey guys...thanx for all the knowledge sharing and support...i finally got my graphics card today....MSI R5770 Hawk Edition 1gb....and CM HAF-922 cabby and corsair 550w psu....well one more doubt...is it that the fans on the card will be facing downwards or upwards? also i need to get a plug pin for the corsair smps plug as it is not compatible with the common socket we have.

No offense to you, but I think you are the 10th-12th guy I have met this week with a CM E series. Heck....! Were they sold for free or what. Is this CM E week...?

I would not trust this PSU. Better change it. Have seen umpteen cases of this PSU to cause the system to start coughing blood all over the place. It is really sad.

Get the ATI accelerator, will not regret it. nVidia is a lost boat this time round.

use the plug from your old PSU. It will work

The fan on the card will be facing the bottom of the chassis. You cannot install it upside down. The PCI.E connector strip on the VGA can ONLY go in one way to the PCI.E dock on the motherboard.

Regarding the Corsair SMPS plug for your power connection, get something like this. Just take the Corsair cable to the electrician.

By the way, great stuff you got there. Enjoy the games....!

NO DO NOT. Why...?

 

[pulsar_swift]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

The plug is same, it will provide the required input to the PSU. How will the plug make any difference ? Correct me if I am wrong.
I am using my old psu plug as the corsair plug is not fitting in my UPS.

Btw..y u bought VX550...will u overclock ur CPU & GPU.....if not then VX450 was more than enuf....

What is the point of mixing and matching power cables, and that too of PSUs, where high currents are being passed through. Ok, if you had a Corsair/Silverstone/Tagan power cable before, then I would trust it. But sub-par PSU connectivity cables, I would never trust to be the power link for my psu---> computer. Electrically, yes, it is just a connection, but am sure there is a quality difference in terms of internal metallic contacts and the wire components, which would add / subtract resistance and over all efficiency of the PSU. Plus the original Corsair cable 'is' meant for the unit. You paid for it, just get a Rs 20/-- physical adapter. I spend 6500 on my PSU, no ways, will I use any other power cable. Corsair till the end.
