Graphics Cards related queries here.
Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
@ gourav.gunjan - memory size depends upon a lot of things -
GPU architecture
GPU series
Memory type
Resolution
The Game you are playing
The game settings
Generally games @ high resolution benefits from high end gpu with more ram as high end gpus can use the extra rams very efficiently.
But that can not be said for low end and mid range gpus equipped with a truck load of memory - simply they don't have that much power to keep utilize that much memory.
Memory type and - for eg. GDDR3 256 bit is better than 128 bit GDDR3 or GDD2 mems but GDDr5 128 bit can be compared to 256 bit GDDr3 in terms of performance.
For resolution memory amount though plays an important role it depends upon the above mentioned things at a great extent.
@ high resolution and settings say a game will give around 2-3 fps boost for a particular gfx card eqquiped with higher memory for eg GTS 250 512MB and GTS 250 1 GB. This is because GTS 250 don't has the enough power to utilize the extra amount of mem very efficiently.
But if you change to a better card say HD 5850 1 GB then you will get a huge boost in performance as HD5850 has got enough power to utilize the memory properly.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
So,U mean if I want to play GTA IV @1080p resolution with not the high detait the GTS250 512MB will be more than enough ?
1GB memory will booost 2-fps@1080p ?
If its true then why should I spend 1K more for 1GB ?
BTW,is there any other brand in the market who selling 512MB GTS250 @6K ?
Actually I don't want to gmable with Palit anymore.....

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
Can you tell me which is card is cheap and good enough to play GTA4,Ashes 2009,NBA 2k10,sims 3 etc.
They all require 256mb minimum memory.
My pc config is
intel C2D 8400
2048 mb ram(I am going to upgrade it to 4gb)
mercury motherboard with 256mb nvidia GeForce 7050/nForce 610i graphic card
In this configuration I play these GTA4 in 800*600 resolution with minimum texture with 24fps.
Can you tell me the one I need to play them in 1600*900 with max texture.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
go for
1->HD 5770 @9k (or below if lucky)
2->HD 5750 @8k
3->Hd 4850/GTS 250 @7k appx
remember all cards should be more than 512 MB
above all the GTA4 is the most demanding game

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
it fully depends on the game. for Crysis ---> more memory, better.
COD MW ---> 512Mb enough if GPU is fast one.
its like that. you can't just point to a game & say it can utilize 1Gb fully until testing it.
mhm. don't forget PSU. else the whole thing will go to waste.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
Hey guys, I have bought my first graphics card !!
MSI GTS 250 1GB DDR3.. its with coller pipes...
I think it will work gr8, even i oc the card a bit... what do you all say abt it.??. how much oc would be possible if i get one 450w psu with intel E7500.
@topgear - That means at 1600x900 res. the 1gb gts 250 will not be able to utilize its full power.. well what abt some upcoming games will they be such that gts 25o will be utilizing the mem or my money gone in waste/???
@nav18 - Well i know i m fresher here.. but i have gone through whole web for searching my Graphics card.. well i think u should stick at geforce 9600 gt 512mb for gaming.
@ashigh - well removing GTA4 from the list which other games(released recently) in market uses cpu.. n can u plz explain it why?(a little)
@KaranTh85 - I m wid u... i have read many post by him.. he is simply gr8.. and u too..
@sam.shab - Atleast u brought me some good news.. So the next release crysis 2 willbe running fine on my pc..?? (my current pc config is at bottom)

Interesting question. Mostly I remember GTA IV being the bummer in the lot, of latest releases. It was a console port, so it just did not realize the GPU.
Crytek franchisee games are the best when it comes to GPU use. Heck, that is why they are still used for benchmarking, cause they stress the GPU the most. For sure Crysis II will be heavily GPU dependent. Yea, even I am waiting for that one.
Try BC2 and see what it does to your GPU, or Metro, it even brings my system to the knees. You will get PhysX with Metro -- nice eye candy. Tons of sparks, dust, particles, breaking objects. Really heavy on the GPU. Love it.

I have installed Crysis today, I will be playing it. Still trying to figure out the controls. The graphics are miles ahead of MASS EFFECT
