HD 6870 runs in this PSU

[Jaskanwar Singh]

^^ya you right

 

[manoprabhu77]

YesSSsssss My head is spinning

I like to go for HD 6870

so only nned to deceided to go for stock/Toxic

I will update u soon abt my purchase

 

[vickybat]

^^ Go for the stock 6870 as its cheaper. Toxic's price isn't justifiable because you are entering 6950 and gtx 560/oc pricing territory.

 

[Skud]

Go for the stock 6870. But if you are really willing to spend 15K then 6950 1gb/560 Ti are definitely better options.

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

manoprabhu look for 6870 with an aftermarket cooler. you will be tension free when you oc.

 

[Piyush]

^^agree

Let me Summarize our discussion:

IF (you want the best value for money and your budget <= 13K) Then
'very good performance @ 1080P, can be overclocked to higher
'Degree even with the Stock Cooler
Graphics card = Sapphire HD 6870 @ 12.6K
Elseif (Budget <= 15K) AndAlso (Not in very much Overclocking) Then
'Performs slightly better than GTX 560 in Stock speed
Graphics Card = Sapphire HD 6950 1 GB @ 14,5K
Elseif (Budget => 15K and Budget <=16K) And (Overclocking = True)
'When Oced performance increases dramatically.
Graphics Card = MSI Twin Frozr II @15.5k
Elseif (MaxMudget < = 14K )
'factory Overclocked and more room for Overclocking
'Very silent and efficient Cooler
Graphics Card = Sapphire HD 6870 Vapor X @ 13.5K
End if

Nicely summed up Cilus. And yes, OP should stay away from Toxic.

Practically VaporX=(Toxic-OC). So it should be one of these four.

@ cilus

Buddy i think you mixed up the comments about 6870 and 6950. You were trying to say overclocking the 6870 increases performance dramatically right?

 

[Piyush]

yup its that way

 

[Ishu Gupta]

I think he was talking about the GTX560.

 

[vickybat]

^^ Nope , piyush got it right. I was talking about the overclocking potential of a 6870 vs 6950. Vliw5 architecture responds better to higher clock increments. Cilus wanted to say that.
