Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
Hi Guys..
Is there any news of 5770's price getting lowered? I am really confused, as i read that Nvidia will release gtx450 ( i m not sure) , and when its released, i think it will be better than 5770 . Anyway , I wanted to go for gtx460 768mb, but i think the 768mb version is not available currently in india
One more question :
Also, does any one know the price of 5830? heard that its price got reduced.My cousin has a phenom x6 , and vx450 .. will that vx450 be enough for 5830?And which is best partner for 5830. Does this one also have grey screen problem like 5770?( man, this problem is putting me off from getting a 5770 hawk
) ..
5770 price is not lowered as its market is secured, not even abroad, just HD5830 lowered.
If you get GTX460 768mb makes sure to avoid Palit and Zotac.
5830 is a bad card, draws more power than HD5850(while underperforming), as big as HD5870(10.5"), heats up more, its actually a chopped HD5870, don't get it, get the HD5770 or if you need more performance HD5850 is the best bet(15.9k+tax).
The gray screen of death is a gamble, my new HD5850 runs fine, no issue so far, so if you get a HD5770(HAWK or reference) chances of gray screen are say 2%, so you can take the chance if you want, I advice everyone to buy amd gpus but you may get the gray screen bug, it happens in certain hardware and software conditions, so its your choice.
PS- Palit GTX460 has 50-50 chance of heating up like a furnace, chances of HD5770 crashing are a lot slimmer.

How much of the above Palit problems will matter for non-gamers only video encoders like me ?
YIf you're a non gamer what will you do with GTX460? get a low cost HTPC card like HD5670, and if you do something(say hardware accelerated video encoding) that needs a afaster GPU than HD5670 then it will put the Palit GTX460 in performance mode(max clocks) and heat it up. Only in idle Palit GTX460 remains cool, that's what happened in my case, though another forum member got a nice card that remains cool, so its a gamble.

palit is good video card maker's , off course the gtx 260 am using is gr8 up to right now !
y the gtx 460 is like this ??
I guess they are trying to make money, for a eg: the GTX460 and HD5850(XFX) are closely priced(2.4k), but from my first hand experiance I can say the palit cooler looks like cheap chinese toys you get in the streets, while the HD5850 looks a lot better,it has a bunch of copper heatpipes while Palit GTX460 sonic has a anodized aluminum heatsink, not all nVidia board partners are like this, look at Gigabyte(double fan, copper heatpipe), Asus(massive copper pipes), EVGA(reference, also copper pipes), MSI(cyclone cooler with copper pipes) and others, only ZOtac and palit made a crap cooler.
Your GTX260 is a reference model, all nVidia reference model have excellent cooler(eg-my earlier 9800GTX+, the new GTX480/470), when manufacturers go non reference then they sometimes crap out, prime example is palit, whereas my HD5850 is non reference but the cooler is massive and better.
