Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.
i am thinking of buying a graphics card soon. heres my choices :
MSI gtx 570 @20.5k
msi gtx 560 twin frozr II @ 15.5k both from SMC
sapphire hd69502GB @16.5k
sapphire hd69501GB @14.5k both from yantraonline
whatever card i buy, i will OC it to the max.
concerns with the sapphire card is whether they use voltage control IC supported by afterburner or not as sapphire cards are usually different than other brands.
if i buy the 6950 2GB, i will unlock the shaders in it. and then OC it to max possible.
when OC to ~ 980MHZ, how does 560 compare to the 570/6970?
but if i buy the 560, i might as well buy the 6950 1GB as it is 1000RS cheaper and faster than 560 and as fast as the 2GB version but has no unlocked shaders.
and if i'm buying the 1GB, i might as well buy the 2gb version for 2000RS more and unlock the shaders to get the 6970 performance. and 6970~
570.
nothing need to be said about the 570 . it is at once the fastest without any extra work
totally confused .
i play on 1080p and budget for psu is separate.
edit: currently using a low power 9600gt. so whichever card i buy, performance difference is huge.
edit2: i learned that the unlocked shaders dont account for much performance. if a normal 6950 is oc to 6970 levels, it is ~98% of 6970. like the 5850 and 5870. though any extra perfromance is good

Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.
^^ Both 6950 1gb and 560 are neck and neck. You choose between the two.
And 69502gb cannot be unlocked anymore cause the additional simd's in the newer boards has been removed by laser cut and not by simple bios locking.
So there are no sp's to be unlocked.
If you have the budget , go for gtx 570. Asus Gtx 570 directcu II/oc is a factory overclocked card with excellent cooler. Its priced at 20.3k in kolkata. Try to get it as it performs close to a gtx 580.

6950 is better option compared to the GTX card.

Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.
if you want to go for the cheaper option then MSI NGTX560Ti Twin Frozr II is the way to go. It is factory-oc'd and performs as good as GTX 570(which would cost you a lot more).

Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.
This is highly debatable.
+1 gaurav
Factory overclocked gtx 560's perform same as 69501gb. Pick your choice and you can't go wrong with either of them.
The one gaurav suggested is a factory overclocked gtx 560.

^^this will only start a big debate again. ithehappy no offence but you could have written this '+1 to 560'. he has the right for keeping his opinions i suppose.

Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.
Thanks a lot guys!
Tried Driversweeper and removed all but one ATI components from the system. (somehow couldn't manage to get rid of that one part, so i let it be.)
Now i've installed the latest drivers, and so far there hasn't been an issue.
Hope it stays that way..
Re-installing the CCC will do. try driversweeper to clean the drivers from PC, and re-install it. Try to remove and re-insert the GPU. It solved the issue for me once.

Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.
I'd say that, but read his comment buddy. He mentioned 'GTX', not any particular model, so it's clear he targeted Nvidia, that's why I said like that. Hope I made myself clear.

Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.
if you are getting GTX560 try to get Asus Direct Cu Top - it's the fastest factory fastest and coolest you can get - Zotac GTX560 AMP though has higher clock speed it has heating issues.
If someone going to get HD6950 nothing beats Sapphire HD6950 1GB @ 14.5 k - just for the record
