Way better than both.

GT 440 lies in between HD 5570 and 5670.

A LOT LOT better. Consider the HD 6670 in a different league!

Thanks guys!
Guess I have no choice at present with this low budget.

The card is for my brother who got
Intel G630
H61 Mobo
4GB DDR3 RAM
Corsair 430W

Saw cheapest of HD6670 DDR5 is at least 5.5K.
So,I need 500 more.
I was expecting price gonna come down and will buy HD7750 or GT640 @6K.
But no sing of price cut.
Currently have 9600GT so no in a hurry.
But.I'm not sure price will go down.
Latest trend is no price cut for old card.
make them out of stock as soon as possible.
Then change the model name of old card add new name with new series and launch as with higher price.
 
Anybody having sapphire hd6570 1gb ddr3 version ...? (Stock speeds...core clock 650mhz,memory clock 667mhz)

I want to overclock but catalyst controller only allows the core clock upto 675mhz...?

Right off the assembly line
I have the following PC Configuration :-

Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q8200 @ 2.33 GHz
RAM: 4GB DDR2
Motherboard G31M-S2L
Expansion Slots PCI Express X16 slot
400W Power Supply


I wanted to upgrade my system for gaming purpose. I am thinking of upgrading the PSU ,Graphics Card & Cabinet with the following Config :-

Corsair VS550 550 Watt PSU
Cooler Master Elite 311 Plus Mid Tower Cabinet
Sapphire AMD/ATI HD 7770 1 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card


I was wondering if is it a wise desicion to go for Sapphire AMD/ATI HD 7770 because its a GDDR5 card with PCI 3 my my motherboard has only a PCI 1 slot ?

Hope for some price reduction in computer components in upcoming budget

It will work fine with your pci 1 slot

Hello, guys.
I am looking for a Graphics card in sub 8.5K range.
Currently, I have selected the Radeon HD7770 (non OC), that's retailing at 8.3K for a 1GB Sapphire card (including 5% VAT) @ CosttoCost, New Delhi.

I just want some suggestions from you guys, on whether I should go with the non OC edition, or, the OC edition, or a different card all together (may be a GTX650). May extend my budget a bit (by around 10%), if justified by the performance. I am not a gamer, but my younger brother is a casual gamer, who wants to play latest games, and more, he wants to do some 3D designing.

Apart from that, with regard to the HD7770, there's one more query. If I get a non OC edition, will I be able to OC it to boost the performance, or is there some kind of OCing restriction with a non OC card? I haven't had a dedicated graphics with my system, so, have no experience with that.

My Current System Specs are:
Processor: Intel C2D E4500 running OC'd at 2.8GHz
Motherboard: MSI G41M-P26 (1 x PCIE x16-v1.0 slot)
RAM: 2x4GB DDR3 Kingston VR
PSU: Corsair VS450 (with one PCIE 6 pin connector)
Cabinet: form factor MicroATX
I hope this info is relevant, the remaining are in my siggy.

^^ make a new thread, often discussions in general threads divert from topic.

Take a OC version if you don't want to overclock yourself

You can OC both versions. Advantage with OC editions is that they usually come with better cooling solutions.

Your CPU is quite old, consider an upgrade sometime soon. Despite that OC, it is going to bottleneck anything above a 7770 or maybe a 7750.
Keep a high resolution to lessen the bottleneck.

Thanks for the suggestions, @Rcuber and Myth.
@Rcuber: The problem with making a new thread is that many-a-times members tend to ignore such threads, so, it's no point making one when you can't get enough replies to satisfy your queries.
As far as OC'ing is concerned, I like to do that and I've been doing it for years now, so, no problem with that.
@ Myth: As far as upgrading is concerned, I am on an upgrade path, doing it in stages. Last time, I upgraded my monitor and RAM, this time, it'll be the GFX, and after that, the CPU, the mobo and the cabby.
Keep a high resolution to lessen the bottleneck.
I'm currently running my system on a Full HD resolution. BTW, can you please explain, how keeping a higher resolution may reduce a possible bottleneck?

The number of responses depends on how many people understand the problem and can suggest a solution. It doesnt matter if you are making a new thread or continuing on an older thread.
Making a new thread keep the focus on the titled problem and might help anyone else who has the same/similar problem.

@ Myth: As far as upgrading is concerned, I am on an upgrade path, doing it in stages. Last time, I upgraded my monitor and RAM, this time, it'll be the GFX, and after that, the CPU, the mobo and the cabby.

In that case, take the best GPU that you can. Later on if you end up buying a quad core, then the 7770/650ti will not be able to keep up with the other components.

I'm currently running my system on a Full HD resolution. BTW, can you please explain, how keeping a higher resolution may reduce a possible bottleneck?

The way I could understand, at higher resolution the cpu dependency is reduced. Though this might not work always.
