Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.

^^ Yes the pricing is indeed sweet. Evga is one of the top board makers. Grab it eyes closed.

Superb pricing. Go for it.

@tkin

nice. but the stock cards have weak VRM. they burn very quickly when overvolted and overclocked. the net is full of people with 21k paper weights.
try to buy a custom card with more power phases, if you OC.

Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.

Dont overstress and over-overclock it.

Ofcourse you can get a twin frozr card that has no such trouble.

I think the evga card is free from those problems.

Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.

Well if you want evga,you wont get the kind of support you get in the US/EU.

If I were you,Id get the MSI TFII model or better.

But given EVGA's pricing history here,I am genuinely surprised at the low price for the 570

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?

you had one EVGA card IIRC, 9800GTX+ i guess
still you want an advice?
and the price is valid here

@ piyush, got a rate rs. 9200 for MSI Hawk 5770 in mumbai ..
So will be purchasing new card now next month ...

Vaibhav

the price is way high
it should not cross 7.5k
better buy it online

at 9.5k you can get a HD 6850 which is way better than 5770

Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.

Guys
i undervolted my HD6850 a couple weeks back using the MSI Afterburner
the stock Voltage was 1150v which i lowered bit by bit to 1031v
and rest everything (memory, fan, core) at stock
here are some screenies from GPUz for reference

These are the stats after 1 hour of Crysis [2007] Very High settings 2xAA

This is the stats after an hour of idling on desktop
*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=4673&stc=1&d=1306221051

now i am facing a minor irritant
my card is stuck to 1031v at both idle and load profile
typically the card should undervolt itself to 945v @100MHz Core/150MHz Memory, when i am at desktop/not gaming
what is the problem here?
is it something to be worried about?

Yeah, but if I get a 570 I won't probably oc it, as I game @ 1680x1050 and 570 already gives ridiculous FPS at this resolution.

Let me search the net about vrm issue and how much it matters for people who are running stock cards.

What's the price of 570 TFII?

And no, I won't oc it if I buy the 570.

Yeah I know, but EVGA is very reliable, that's just my experience.

Yeah, its running still even after I oc'ed it to hell and then some. And price is ok'ish for the 570(21k all)

NOW, there is a MSI GTX570 TFIII edition out there, any news if it's available here?

Ummmm, TFIII, the HAWK cooler. There is one GTX570 Twin Frozr III(3) card, I want that.
Newegg.com - MSI N570GTX Twin Frozr III PE/OC GeForce GTX 570 (Fermi) 1280MB 320-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.

Bottom line=

Those who want to overclock their GTX 570's get a Twin frozr

and those who wanna play safe with stock speeds, get a normal cooling 570.

Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.

hey , what should i go for MSI 5770 Hawk @ 7625 or Saphire 5770 Vapor-X @ 7650 [saphire has these 2 additional things also DIRT 2 Coupon-(Game edition only) and SIM HD(Enhance the video quality for IM)-(Full package only) ]

 

[tkin]

Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.

MSI HAWK hands down.

 

[iVB_Robot]

Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.

and why hawk ? i mean details please....Vapor-X has free dirt 2 game with it !!

Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.

Its more stable, got more power phases, overclocking is easier, components are much better etc.

 

[Skud]

Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.

Vapor-X cooler is also very good. And if you really want to play Dirt 2 then it is indeed a good deal.

 

[iVB_Robot]

Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.

Well there is always piracy so yeah , i'll go for hawk

 

[thetechfreak]

Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.

+1 for MSI Hawk from my side.

TFII has troubles.
the ASUS DCII has no such troubles as ASUS have added more VRM's to the stock card.

@tkin
if you dont OC, then the stock card is perfectly fine. anyway, why a gtx570 for 1680x1050 res?
get a 6850. its more than enough, probably overkill.
