6850 all the way if you can shell out the additional dough. Much future proof and will last a while. Power consumption is very less, a stellar 19w idle.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

erm mitrank you need to decide the graphic card acc to your monitor and vice verca.

i am not sure if 5670 can handle a 23".

68xx series replaces 57xx series 56xx series is to be replaced by 67xx series. thats why 6850 is double 5670.

not double.more than 2.5times

Well the XFX 5670 costs Rs 5600 and XFX 6850 should cost Rs 12000 , so about double , 2.5 times would be Rs 14000 , i could get the 6870 at that price.

Well that's not my point , what i have to decide is whether i am going to play games . For gaming at atleast a decent resolution for a 23" Monitor , i do need the 6850, but that wouldn't matter if i don;t play games at all. Also , 6850 is newly launched, its quite high priced and won;t come down until 470/560 is launched. 5670 is sellling at a very good price for its performance.

@mohiuddin i meant in price is it 2.5x in price ? may be.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Oh I am sorry if mohiuddin mean the performance of 6850 is 2.5 times that of 5670 , although that would mean it gives 2.5 times more FPS?

@ mitraark
dude, you have to decide whether you play games or not. AFTER you have decided, then ask for advice.
also, there is no "BOTTLENECK" in itself by pairing i5 with 5670. it is there oly if you play games/plan on playing games. 5670 is enough for movies/non-gaming.

ps: if you regularly use MATLAB, you might look into buying nvidia cards as the CUDA is supported by MATLAB and will accelerate performance if used.

Unless u decide wat do u want to do(game/design/watch movies),and unless u decide on your budget for the component,u will have a hard time deciding on to get!!

True, i've been using Jacket (AccelerEyes - MATLAB GPU Computing) and am really pleased with the results. Only took a few hours to convert my code and my simulation dropped from 2 hours to less than 10 minutes.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Ya, AccelerEyes does enable GPU support in MATLAB. So better opt for a Nvidia GPU. And for it you don't need any high end GPU. Get a Zotac GT 240 1 GB GDDR3 available @ 4.7K or a 9800GT @ 6K.

yeah. but i think THEY are gonna screw us (with prices)

 

[vickybat]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

gtx 580 and 6970 are closely priced or are almost the same. Now 6970 has to beat gtx 580 fair and square for getting atleast considered.

Previous rumours suggested the 6970 of having 1920sp's as suggested by forum member "mohiuddin" but according to these pics(which are legitimate imo) it only has 1600. So i guess it's goin to have a tough time beating gtx 580.

Check this

What do you say guys?
