get HD6670 and you can't crossfire it. only some bottom of the line GPUs like 6450 can be Xfired and the performance improvement is not worth it.

@Tech_Edge The HD6670 is the perfect Graphic Card for you. Go for it.

From what i've read ATI's hypermemory uses a part of PC's RAM to its video memory. My questions are:

1. Whether lending PC's RAM will result in slow PC performance?
2. Is there a way to disable Hypermemory, if the point 1 is TRUE?

1. As long as you have 2GB free RAM you won't feel any slowdown.
2. I think it can be decreased, but whether it can be stopped completely, I'm not sure. Intel allows that(HD3000 on sandy bridge/ivy bridge).

Thanks tkin !

Am having 2GM RAM + HD6670 1GB DDR5. I experience slowness sometimes.
Googled queries show ATI TRAY TOOLS can be used to disable it. Is it?

Try it, I never used any gpu with hyper memory, in intel(my system) I can disable it from BIOS.

I bought Sapphire HD6670 1GB GDDR5 and am using it along with Dynet DDR2 RAM 2GB.
Sometimes i feel that my system is behaving SLOW when comparing to earlier times.

Moreover i also heard Radeon cards borrow some memory from PC RAM's for additional video memory. [I suppose the term is HYPERMEMORY].

1. Do you feel the slowness is because of little RAM bottlenecking the pc's performance?
2. Whether i've to increase my RAM?
3. If, can you suggest some RAM options (capacity + brand)?

nVidia's latest GALAXY GeForce GTX 660 Ti GC 3GB is the best perfomance you get for such a low price. How much will it cost in local market?

Hey Guys!
I need suggestions on Graphics Card. Present Machine Info follows:

1. Which Power Supply do you have? (Be EXACT while naming the company and model)
Ans: 450W(non-branded)

2. What is your budget?
Ans: 5.5k

3. Which resolution will you game at?
Ans: -1024*768(for now) (might change the montor too)

4. What are your current computer specifications?
Ans: AMD Sempron 145 unlocked and overclocked to Athlon X2 4450e 3.05ghz , 320+40 GB HDD, MSI NF725GM-P31 , 4GB (2x2) DDR3 1333MHz RAM, Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

My circumstances: I currently live in Delhi and will stay here for about 3-4 more months untill I go sailing, after which the card wont be used(dad doesnt play games ). I dont have any qualms upgrading the PSU if required and if card+psu cost doesnt exceeds 7k but then what's the point of spending money for just 3 months when I will be assembling a new machine after coming back?! (same with monitor)?! Really confused and wish to be done with the reasearch and survey part by monday, thats when I have planned to go to Nehru place to buy parts. I want to start playing asap.

Thanking all
Saral

grab a HD6670 or try checking for a used HD7750. Both these GPU should run fine in your pc with the local PSU.
BTW you bought the sempron with the intention of unlocking it?

 

[maverick786us]

28.5k+taxes.

Too bad when the prices of these cards are around 350US$.

More pathetic is HD7970 is 33k here, 0.5k more than GTX680 TOP DCII, price cuts do not come to India.

 

[thetechfreak]

@saralk go for HD 6670

Too bad when the prices of these cards are around 350US$.

Well it takes a lot of time as it doesn't change till old stock is cleared

 

[max_snyper]

Now may be after the release of 660-ti the prices in India for hd7970-hd7870 would start reflecting the international price (w/o our taxes)....!

BTW there is no price-cut in place for hd7850....is it????

Thanks for your response Guys

No Sam, the parts were bought by my dad in my absence, as the older machine stopped working all of a sudden. He bought the cheapest available.

Much Appreciation
