Buddy, where any 1 TB HDD is available below 4K? and WD Black 1 TB is more than 6K. Gee WD Caviar Blue around 3.2K

no gs600 can easily handle gtx 670..
But imo 7950 and 7970 are more vfm as they can be overclocked to reach the same or better performance than gtx 670 and 680 respectively...

Hey guys I just went to local dealer here, is this a good deal?
Zotac GTX 660 Ti = Rs. 20,500/-
SApphire Radeon 7950 = Rs. 22,700/-
Zotac GTX 670 = Rs. 27,500/-
and for other brands the price may fluctuate by Rs.500-1000

is that sapphire 7950 oc with boost.....?

 

[HorrayforPeePee]

yes Sapphire 7950 oc with boost = Rs. 22,700/-

 

[hitman4]

then go for it

 

[Cilus]

Ya, HD 7970 Vapor-X OC with boost is better choice than 660Ti.

that should be 7950...

by the way can anyone tell me the difference between vapor x boost and normal boost cards

 

[gagan_kumar]

according to reviews hd7970 is far more better than 7950
but a little expensive go for it only if u have budget don't cut ur budget in other things because 7950 is more than enough to handle atleast 1 year of gaming IMO.

whenever you hear fancy names like Vapor-X/Direct CU II/Twin Frozr etc in graphics cards you should know that these are advanced cooling systems(better fans and heatsink) for the graphics cards by thier respective companies

 

[Cilus]

Also couple of cards like Lightning from MSI, Direct CU II from ASUS, come with customized PCB (printed circuit board) design. They offer better build quality with higher VRM (Voltage Regulation Module), high quality components, high tolerance for heat and higher voltage. As a result those cards can be tweaked far better than the reference design cards s well as cards with just better quality coolers.
