Ideal gpu for my system

[topgear]

^^ the waiting game can go on for forever - current intel SB and IB cpus are good enough and will remain same even in future - it all depends upon what you need .. if you need a mobo+cpu you can go ahead and buy a IB/SB based config right now or if there's no pressing needs you can wait .. either way you can't be wrong.

So I guess I will be waiting as I dont want to end up buying a mo bo that has no use in near future.

That happens all the time. One thing can't go on for ever.
About your hope of price reduction: practically, there is no chance.

net - 42 k approx.
Do you think this wont be outdated for say next 3 years or so //
I cant raise the budget but surely any changes that can reduce it would be appreciated.
So do you recommend any changes //

Also I ve to get an OS installed and my net budget was 40 k which has been already exceeded. So I think I ll be making a botable win 7 os dvd myself.

 

[topgear]

3 years is a long shot ..

modern cpus are very capable at handling games ( if this is what you're talking about ) - so the GPU is what you should concentrate on and get a single stick of 4GB Ram ( corsair ) and core i5 2310 cpu @ 10.5 - spend the saved money to get a HD7770.

 

[Thetrueblueviking]

just asking -
hd 6770 better or hd 7750 [at stock].

 

[sukesh1090]

^^
i guess 7750 or mostly they perform equal but 7750 consumes less power thats it.better buy 7750.btw you can't talk about pirating things in this forum
oh didn't see topgear's post.he is right, you should spend more money on GPU for gaming than spending on processor.

 

[topgear]

just asking -
hd 6770 better or hd 7750 [at stock].

HD6770 performs and OCs better than HD7750 if you don't care about the power cnsumption but stick with what I've suggested.

 

[Thetrueblueviking]

Can the corsair vs450 psu and gigabyte mobo [as the 7770 is express 3 x 16] handle this 7770 - MSI R7770-PMD1GD5 Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Graphic Card

or

And topgear - I will be playing games like modern warfare 3 and gta 4 and gta 5 [as it releases] at a max resolution of 1600 x 900. Also I make videos using vegas pro 11 at max 720 p. Do I really need a 7770 // I mean cant the 6770 get me minimum 30 fps.

p.s - sukesh - I wont discuss further about it,my bad.

 

[d6bmg]

Get MSI one from here: MSI R7770-PMD1GD5
and save ~1.6K

 

[Thetrueblueviking]

COOL but do these guys provide COD to mumbai //
And can my mobo and psu handle it //
Plus its a pci 3 so to support it I ll have to get an ivy bridge processor.
So i cant go for a 2310 (for optimum use) as topgear suggested, Correct me if I m wrong.
Do you think I ll have to buy a cooler // if so suggest a reasonable one.

 

[topgear]

VS450 and the mobo is enough for HD7770 - I can't say if you will get ~30 FPS with HD6770 in GTA V and MW3 - it's always nice to have the best possible gfx card one can afford.
Pcie-2.0 and Pcie-3.0 performance difference won't matter as there won't be any performance difference at-all.
No need to buy a cooler if you are going with i5 2310 - confirmed if you want one get CM Hyper TX3 @ 1.5k.

 

[Thetrueblueviking]

does the 3450 require a cooler [in case i buy it] // And dont you think that since haswell will be out next year, the sb would be relatively old[trailin by 2 gens]

 

[topgear]

first try without cooler .. if there's no overheating issue no need not by one .. but generally IB cpus heats up more than SB cpus and the stock cooler comes with them is not so great so getting/using an after market cooler is a good idea IMO.

 

[Thetrueblueviking]

I think i have 2 choices -
1] i5 3450 and gtx 550 ti/ hd 6790
2] i5 2310 and hd 7770

Both of em at 8176.

*www.flipkart.com/zotac-nvidia-gefo...H2P4&ref=c8c41f11-9b05-481c-9c53-ca042503c0f7

but the 7770 at 9.5 k everywhere .....

The 6790 demands 500w. So i think the 6790 is out of eqn.

And about pcie 3 - then why do ppl boast so much about the pcie 3 if its doesnt differ much from the pcie 2.

 

[topgear]

GTX 550 Ti is not a good card ( performance wise ) - HD6790 performs better than this and talking about power consumption you can run a core i5 3450 and HD6790 using a VS450/CX430v2.

 

[Thetrueblueviking]

I ve decided to invest some more and go for i5 3450 and 7770. Thanks for all the help.

Hey all - I ve come up with a new doubt that lingers in my mind before I finally build my desktop -----
Since I am going to do video editing - using Vegas pro 11 [at 720p] - I ve been getting suggestions to go for a Nvidea gpu rather than a amd radeon because it does no good for video editing. Also since cpu and RAM matters most in video editing, my frnd asked me to save some cash by going for a gtx 550 ti instead of the 7770 and in the saved amount, get an extra 4gb ram [to make it 12 gb total] and i5 3550 instead of 3450.


What are your thoughts .... ///
Is there a need to increase the RAM or the CPU and switch to a nvidea gpu //
or the i5 3450 , 8gb corsair 1333 , hd 7770 can handle the editing [at 720p] in Vegas 11.

Yea while researching, I went through this and thats what the crux of my problem is --- whether to go with the radeon or the nvidea - knowing that the amd/ati radeon 7770 outperforms the 550 Ti when it comes to gaming and the gtx 550 Ti supports video editing/rendering/playback relatively better.

If there isnt much of a difference while rendering in VP11 [say less than 8 percent], then i am bound to go with the 7770.

 

[whitestar_999]

if vegas pro is your main usage then not much choice here.550ti is much better in this scenario.as for gaming i think lowering down some visual settings should be enough to bring 550ti at par with 7770.
