Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.

i'm assuming that your PSU is of extreme series by cooler master
and since you are not a hardcore gamer plus resolution is 1440*900

i would suggest sapphire/MSI /Asus HD 5750 @ 6.2k
and if by any chance you have future upgrade plans for your monitor, then go for sapphire/MSI HD 5770 @ 7.2k

but i would recommend you to buy a new-->reliable PSU if toy go for a better GFX card

Thanks Piyush for quick reply
Monitor Upgrade plan are not in near future ..
but i might go for 5770 as i don't want spend it again on GPU
while purchasing new monitor ..
just a last query which one is better Sapphire or MSI ....

about PSU yes it is of Extreme Series Model No : RP-600-PCAR
i thought 600W PSU is sufficeint ..correct me if i am wrong..
if not may be in near future i will go for upgrade of PSU ...
but as of now GPU is high requirement as system runs fine but cant play single game

Thanks Friends

go for MSI hawk version...will be the best deal for you

and regarding PSU
it can run you graphic card without any issues
but its efficiency is low and is not that reliable as compared to other brands

you can use it for now but change it in future to be safe

That PSU will be fine for a 5770. Don't worry. As stated, go for the MSI HAWK version. It's the best 5770.

Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.

if i am going to install new drivers on intel x4500 IGP then should I remove the old drivers and if yes then by what?
Or I could re-install on the old drivers

Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.

You can install the new drivers directly over the old one. However, to be on the safe side go to Control Panel -> Programs and Features, look for an entry like Intel HD Graphics and uninstall it. Restart your PC and then install the new drivers.

My pleasure. Have you updated your drivers?

 

[vaibhav23]

Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.

yes installed the new drivers.working fine.
i have installed over the old drivers

Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.

Yeah, they don't cause a problem. No need to uninstall and re-install. Just install over the old ones. If it messes up, you always have Safe Mode

Laptop gpu query-

How much performance difference is there between gt 520 m and gt 525 m?


@kunal
yup, get 5670 hd. Great vfm card

 

[tkin]

Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.

Almost double, GT525 has 96 shaders, 520 has 48, also memory clock's a bit bumped on 525 while processor clocks a bit lowered, overall 2x performance if you ask me.

Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.

Guys: nice news first, the EVGA GTX570 is being sold here by Tirupati @ 21k, so that means official warranty, I have just struck hawk off my list, this ones too good to pass up. You think the price is right?
