I don't understand why the 7790 wasn't mentioned in best cards for money. All the reviews show 7790 as a better choice. Is there a reason it wasn't mentioned in this thread? I mean are there any problems with it?
Also, two of them are 1gb. Is that gonna be a bottleneck?

GIGABYTE GV-N65TBOC-2GD Ultra Durable 2 Series - SMC

get this. its a boost edition.
better than 7790.

It is because when I updated my thread last time, HD 7790 was 11K+ and GTX 650 Ti Boost was around 12K which is faster than 7790 by a good margin, in fact slightly better than even HD 7850. Now only it is available at 10.7K. Updated the guide and share your opinion here.

Didn't notice that earlier Gigabyte cards are always low priced it seems. Is this due to low quality? If gigabyte is good I'll go with this deal.

So can anyone vouch for the quality of gigabyte cards?

 

[topgear]

I think the main reason the GB cards are cheap because they don't need to provide service through local service centers. The seller is liable for that

hello!

a small query. a friend recently bought a new Sapphire HD7870 2GB GPU from R.K. Infosys at Lamington road. however, upon installation, there was no display. upon exhausting almost all options while troubleshooting, he installed another GPU, and the display came up on the monitor! wanted to ask whether is there any switch of sort or any mechanism on the GPU, which one needs to activate after installing the card before use? or is it the simple case of a faulty GPU?

P.S. - PSU is a brand new Seasonic S12II - 520W.

Wanted to ask one thing.
Just like there are games which have better performance on Nvidia cards, like Witcher 2, Batman AA/AC, etc..
Are there any games for AMD cards as well, that is, comparatively better performance than Nvidia?
