Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.

^^ yep, Nvdia started it's DX11 gfx card line up from that series and GTX480 is the first DX11 compliant gfx card by the them.

AMD started it's DX11 line from HD5xxx series and HD5870 is the first DX11 compliant card by them.

Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.

Speaking of the RAdeon 5xxx series, I read this review of a new sapphire 5850 extreme which just released.

Sapphire Radeon HD 5850 Xtreme 1GB Review: Introduction - Techgage
and here
*www.bjorn3d.com/articles/Sapphire_5850_Xtreme/2037.html

Translate that price to around 9K here and it's still an amazing deal. There's no competition at that price range.

for any gamer on a tight budget, 5850 or 465s are still amazing deals, as long as one is patient to hunt around and bargain like hell.

^ there is never a simple dollar to rupee conversion in india. there is always an extra overhead. i expect the "9k" figure to be really ~ 14k

Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.

hmm... chk the power consumption of 4870 @ load

*images.anandtech.com/graphs/graph4278/36850.png



its 305 + HD+mobo+ram+DVD writer ... add 100~125 more so its around ~420

i would strongly advice VX550 as u will be overclocking as well
so better to invest once ... future proof

u can calculate ur power consumption here

Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.

@Kartikoli, that is total system power. Not the GPU in entity.

Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.

how much is the cost of overclocked MSI HD6970 Lightning in local market?
Click to expand...

around 22k. but why dont you buy the 6950. dont even unlock it. just set it at the clocks of a 6970. then, 6950 ~= 98 % of a 6970. and then it can be clocked further.

I was talking about my upcoming build, in which I will use 2600K, and planning to gaming @ 2560 X 1600 resolution. I am not sure if the new 6950s have the capability to unlock and run to 6970, and the MSI Lightning 6970 is an OCed version which is as fast as GTX 580, therefore should perfectly fit for gaming at that resolution

Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.

^
if its basically a gaming build and NOT any benchmarking/video processing/ build, it is more useful to get the 2500k and use the extra money for a better/second GPU. the 2600k has hyper-threading technology, that games do not use. so you wont get any extra benefit from it.
