Ideal gpu for my system

[Thetrueblueviking]

much better as in //
Could you explain using numbers , example--- by 12 percent or --- comparison in time taken for rendering a 2 minute 720 p movie.

Video editing and gaming, both are equally impt to me.

 

[whitestar_999]

i can not answer that.i think you should ask this on sony vegas forum(link posted earlier) to get a good answer.

 

[doomgiver]

go check up on tom's hardware. they have nice pretty charts and stuff showing just how much faster is X card compared to Y.

Benchmark Results: MediaEspresso And Luxmark 2.0 : AMD Radeon HD 7770 And 7750 Review: Familiar Speed, Less Power

there you go, though its been over 7 months, and amd has time to improve stuff.

 

[tomys24]

see this benchmark result , but seems video editing details are not there. AnandTech - Bench - GPU12

That was helpful.

So what I ve gathered so far is that the CUDA technology in the GTX series makes a substantial difference when it comes to video rendering.
That just puts me in a fix as the 550 ti sucks when it comes to gaming.
My budget for the GPU is 9.5 k ... cant really extend it to 11.5 k to get a GTX 560.
Any thoughts guys -------

hey all ----- found the SE version of the 560 on flipkart- which is relatively slower [compared to 560] but as far as I know, it is as good as the hd 7770 as far as gaming goes. It uses CUDA technology so it is bound to be better at video rendering/playback. But I am skeptical as I see very few buyers on flipkart for that model.


here is some comparison -

I have gone through that and that's the problem with the gtx 550 ti - it sucks at gaming.

I am seriously inclining towards the Gainward GTX 560 SE available for 10k on flipkart ....

GTX550ti is piece of cr@p in terms of gaimg, and moreover, power consumption is also a factor eith that.
If you can't really extend your budget, I would suggest you to look in the market section of different forums, you will get GTX560 for ~8K or even a 560ti for 10K.
Otherwise, wait...
BTW, I saw a MSI GTX560 is being sold for 10K at flipkart. May be you should contact SMC for the same.

On flipkart - The gtx 560 SE is available at 10k [which performs about 15 percent slower than the gtx 560 but slightly better than 7770].
Should I go for it //

And here on Thinkdigit -- I could not find any recent threads regarding the gtx 560.

^^ I suggest you to read these :
Accelerate your performance with AMD FirePro
Vegas Pro 12 GPU acceleration

Vegas Pro 12 has god support for openCL and HD7770 has strong support for OpenCL and performs very good - so you better get HD7770 if you need a good balance between gaming and video encoding using vegas pro 12 :

Great --- That helped me make up my mind. I dont currently have VP 12. But I ll get it soon enough. Thanks a ton.

 

[topgear]

^^ you are welcome .. and see using a latest version of app and most recent gpus has their own advantages over the old ones - so if you are going for something new get new only

 

[Thetrueblueviking]

Well VP 11 aint that old,eh //

 

[topgear]

with the release of VP12 and all is latest features made VP 11 'old'.

BTW, which HD7770 you are getting ? the one available at SMC @ 8.2k ?? or going to get it from a shop near to your house ? 20 min walk

Was waiting for ur opinion about the same ----
The smc GIGABYTE doesnt have a on site warranty it seems.
Hence, I was inclining towards the ASUS one - with a 3 year warranty - even though it costs an extra 1k - I heard it runs at relatively cooler temperatures and in case of any issues - the shop is just a 20 min walk

What say //

I think I've posted a answer a little while ago here

[Thetrueblueviking]

Yea read it --- thanks.

 

[topgear]

you are welcome

 

[Thetrueblueviking]

jUSt asking --- should i reconsider buying the ASUS 7770 if my brother is getting me a ZOTAC GTX 560 [820mhz] from newegg with 2 yr warranty for 1k cheaper //

 

[topgear]

if you get something from newegg you won't get any warranty here ....

 

[Thetrueblueviking]

I am not planning to OC ---- any reason y the gpu should die in less than 4 years // Plus, His friends are making frequent trips [once in 4 months] so I can just ship it bck for free.

 

[topgear]

if you are OK with the RMA thing then you can go for it and Zotac offers 5 years wartranty if registered within 15 days of purchase.

BTW, I can see you inclined more towards gaming rather than SV12
