Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-MA69VM-S2 motherboard DDR2.
ATI Radeon x1200 inbuilt graphics engine
Monitor - ViewSonic VA2226w.

So can anyone suggest me a good graphics card where i can play the latest games and watch good movies without much hassle :).Thanks.

what PSU do you have? Pick up a Corsair CX430v2 along with this card - *www.flipkart.com/powercolor-amd-ati-radeon-hd5670-1-gb-ddr3-graphics-card/p/itmd5ynejajvnugy

Don't expect max graphics though and your proccy might prove to be a slight bottleneck.

HD 6670 will be a 10% faster than 9600 GT.

For a definite upgrade, get HD 7770 @ 8.1K. Don't go for HD 6670.

Thanks.

This 9600 i guess is having a DDR2 based memory compare to 6670 having GDDR5. All this just going to give a 10% increase ??

At your budget, you can get HD6670 1GB GDDR5. It's one of the budget card, that handle most games with resolution tweaks.
At the least, GPU's demand a power supply of 400W.

Thanks.I should probably change my PSU to higher wattage and probably consider the HD6670 as it supports a lot of games :).

Corsair CX430V2 is the power supply priced at Rs 2500.i have bought one for my yet to be assembled PC which got delayed for sometime. GPU choice- Asus HD 7770 DC 1Gb DDR5 or any HD 7770 card.

Make that 20-25% then.

But still, get HD 7770 for a definite upgrade. If not, then get HD 7750.

I wish to upgrade my gpu

My system specs are:
AMD phenom II X4 945 processor 3.0GHz
gigabyte M68MT-D3
4 GB RAM
ATI RADEON 4350
PSU-Xtech(450w) (didn't have much info about PSU's while buying the PC, so was fooled by the shopkeeper)

I need a good enough graphics card(and PSU) which should suffice atleast next 3 yrs GAMING(medium and low settings will do)
BUDGET: MAX 12K-13K(FOR BOTH THE GPU AND PSU)

You can also consider the next-gen card HD7770, which will cost you a bit lesser than 6870, but its performance is more or less similar to 7770.

AnandTech - Bench - GPU12
There is no way you can compare those two cards...

@ tanvir
Get either of HD6870 or GTX560

Install Catalyst 12.10 or 12.11 Beta.

Mention the games you are playing and post your configuration details.

An answer is as vague as a question.
