I currently have a Sapphire Radeon 6970 2Gb, but its starting to show its age in almost all modern titles. So i was thinking of replacing it something modern, preferably less than 30k. Also want to sell my card off, if anyone's interested :p. Any suggestions

You can get R9 290 for about 31k, but honestly speaking, if you game at 1080p then a R9 280X is enough, that'll set you back by 22k and will run all game smoothly. Buying a high end nVidia card is worthless in India because the competitor to 280X , the GTX770 costs 32k :blink:

Here's a comparison between 280X and 290: AnandTech | Bench - GPU14

As you can see from above the 280X can play all games at maximum quality @1080p and maintain a solid 60FPS+ throughout, so no need to spend 10k extra for a 290 imho. Better spend the extra money to add another 4GB RAM if you like, or just keep the cash.

I can actually get stuff from any country abroad too, and I want to go for a 3 monitor setup..... What would the damages look like on that ? Because I have the money to spend, I just felt 30k would be a good investment for atleast the next 3 years. If someething beefier is needed, and is worth it, I can spend a lot more

for multi monitor, get 290 eyes closed.280x wont be able to cut on multi monitor setups. getting abroad will void your warranty. better you get it from here.

or else at-least settle for the Classifies Ed. - forget VFM ! with price like this you are only paying for top notch performance and those extra few FPS.

I have very difficult query.
I have ZOTAC 210 DDR3 1GB GRAPHIC CARD.
I am buying Radeon R7 250 which is 1GB DDR5.
My motherboard is SLI and Crossfirex.
Can i join DDR3 with DDR5?
If yes then how would be the performance.
Are there any chances of Hardware problem if they are not compatible?Risky?

If anyone has done this before practically then please email me.



My config-
ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0
4 GB DDR3 RAM
AOC 1080 2437FH MONITOR

Are you thinking of using GT210 and R7 250 together? If yes, that's not possible. You can use only same cards in SLI or XF.

I think you want to use GT 210 as a physx card but I don't think Gt210 with 16 CUDA core can be used as a physx card. For this you need a card with at-least 32 CUDA cores and of-course specially moded driver.

Your enthusiasm is appreciated :D . Though I am a eye candy whore, there should a reasonable point to draw the line :p .
A lot more I did mean, but only if the 3 monitor setup NEEDS a lot more horsepower. A single card, future proof for upto 3 years is the requirement. Anyways ill be putting up a proper thread as soon as I can gather up the funds to make the purchase (may be a few more months ;P).

Ah, 780 Ti has Physx support and in some games it can show you some serious eye candy. One more thing is you may look for 4K displays rather than hooking up three monitors. Anyway, as you you will be buying the card a few months later you may get your hands on Maxwell.

Intel G620
4GB RAM
iBall PSU

Will it handle the HD 6670??

Also which is better 2GB DDR3 @ 5400 or 1GB DDR5 @5900 if your are on a tight budget. Is the performance diff worth it ( on a shoestring budget :( )
