Mid-Range w/ PSU recommendation [Budget b/w 6.5K to 8.5K]

[anirbandd]

As far as i know, asus and sapphire will be available in Kolkata. I dont know about HiS.

I am rooting for AsusHD7750 as it is clocked at 820MHz whereas th Sapphire is clocked at 800MHz, all other features same..[Asus' heatsink is sexier ]

btw, whats this PCIe 3.0? will it work okay on my PCIe 2.0 lane? will there be any bottleneck or anything like that??

 

[saswat23]

PCIe 3.0 devices are backwards compatible with 2.0, so dont worry.

unless you are going to use cards like HD7970 in CF and HiS gfx cards are available.

@topgear : thanks!! love you bro!!

 

[anirbandd]

are there any cards better than the HD7750, but in the same power segment? i can stretch to max 8K for the card. i am going with the Corsair CXv2 430W.

anything?

^^ can you post the shop name and the manufacturer of the gfx card ( HD7750 ) ?



yes, I'm sure

@topgear and all knowledgeable people out here: *www.apc.com/products/runtime_for_extendedruntime.cfm?upsfamily=29
APC clearly says that my UPS will not provide any backup [maybe 1-1.5mins] for my pc and its out of question to buy a new one. any advice?

 

[topgear]

for a better alternative get this
MSI R7770-2PMD1GD5/OC Graphic Card

and about the backup time - you will get minimum 4 mins of backup time for sure with a HD7770 and even more with HD7750.

 

[anirbandd]

erm... sapphire says it needs 450W psu min? oh.. and i forgot to mention, my monitor, around 80W, also runs from the UPS. so, with the corsair 430vx2, the total power would be ~500W. problem?

both my monitor and cpu run from the ups. other accessories run from the mains.

:help:

 

[topgear]

even a good 300-350W PSU is enough for a HD7750 depending on the cpu and the PSU recommendation on website .. well, it's just a generic recommendation.

Coming to the UPS load - well with a HD7750 your pc will hardly consume ~200W and add 80W f the monitor - so the the UPS still has plenty of headroom to provide you good enough backup time.

How??

Edit: i will take the liberty to do a wattage breakdown for my PC.. please bear with me and correct me if i do it wrong. all component non-OCed.

Proc = Max: ~90W
GFX = HD7750 -> Max: ~100W??
..........HD7770 -> Max: ~120W??
Mobo + RAM + misc = Max: ~50-60W??

Total Wattage: HD7750 = Max: ~260W
.......................HD7770 = Max: ~280W
Okay... Hmmm. That is a cheerful figure!

While running Metro 2033 with HD 7770/7750 paired with a i7-3960X, Tomshardware got these figures for the whole system.

And you have an i5-2400 which consumes even less power than i7-3960X. Nothing to worry. You don't need a new UPS.

 

[anirbandd]

yeah!!!!!!! thats so cool!!

i'll go to chandni market to do a recon in a few days and get updated with the current pricing of asus msi sapphire cards.

thank a lot guys! i will be posting the prices of the cards in a seperate thread for all to see.

HIS is kinda overpriced ... as compared to sapphire and Asus

Please do that. Would be most helpful.

 

[anirbandd]

yeah.. after all the good people in this forum have done to help me out its the least i can do to give something back.

i was going through this: Benchmark Results: Battlefield 3 : AMD Radeon HD 7770 And 7750 Review: Familiar Speed, Less Power

since i use a much lower res display (1024x768 CRT), leaving aside the bench config above, my fps at those settings would be generally higher, right?

yes..

 

[Nighthawk12]

Get Gigabyte version its also good(I'm having it)
It's clock speed is 880 Mhz.

 

[anirbandd]

didnt get any gigabyte model.. only XFX, Asus and Sapphire are available.

 

[topgear]

so which one you are getting - obviously from the last two brand names

BTW, can you tell the price of these HD7750s from different manufacturers ?

 

[anirbandd]

have already posted the prices here: *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/graphic-cards/165604-hd7750-hd7770-cx430v2-price-kolkata.html

i am thinking of going for the Sapphire HD7770 from Eastern Logica for Rs8000.

btw.. i wont doing any serious overclocking, maybe to 1100MHz, using the OEM software, will there be any issues if i choose the single fan version?

One more thing, can you make the images here show the thumbnails?
