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.

Now, I'm finalizing the thing. Which one should I go with: a Gainward Nvidia GTX650 1GB which is costing me Rs. 6930 and Sapphire Radeon HD7770 for Rs. 8165. The difference is around Rs. 1100. Also, can anyone let me know what about Gainward? Though, I know that's a brand, I don't know much about it. It's Hardware Quality, Customer Service, etc.
Thanks for help, guys.

Go with Sapphire HD 7770. It is a good 30% faster than GTX 650, so it is worth going for HD 7770. Plus, I don't have any idea about who handles Gainward's RMA.

Ideas are Bulletproof
my sapphire 4670 is having issues, the screen change color to white/colored lines(see pic, it's not of my screen but it is same) and after few seconds the screen shows "no signals" error. I've to restart my pc to fix this.
The card is out of warranty, is there any way to repair it?, and are there any shops for graphic repair in Delhi?

Try to visit Sapphire service center, but do not repair it if it costs over 500/- not worth it.

You'll need a DVI-I to VGA converter or cable. Most probably you'll get with your card. Then you can use your monitor.

Since HD7750 is a low end card, i would prefer to go with the 1GB GDDR5 variant than the 2GB GDDR3.
