Hi,
I want to upgrade the graphics card on my desktop I assembled a little over 14 months ago. My current system specs are:
Processor: i3 2100
Ram: 8GB DDR3
PSU: iBall 400W (ordinary)
Graphics: XFX AMD Radeon 6670 1GB DDR5
Monitor: Samsung LCD 19" (1366x768)
I just want to upgrade my graphics card, as my CPU is enough for my purposes. I am mainly interested in gaming, and since my resolution is rather low (I don't mind that), my current card is able to play all 2011 games in high (w/o AA) and the 2012 games in medium, with framerates of 30-35.
Unfortunately, the local seller is as expensive as flipkart or theITdepot, so the only options in my budget (<8.5K) are:
1) MSI AMD Radeon 7750 1GB DDR5
2) Zotac GT550 TI 1GB DDR5
3) MSI AMD 6770 1GB DDR5
4) HIS AMD 6750 1GB DDR5
I am kind of leaning towards the 7750 because it doesn't require the external power from the PSU, and due to its low TDP, I can continue using the same PSU. All the other cards will require a better PSU, but if the performance is much better than the 7750, I can certainly change the PSU. Also, the 7750 is the only 2012-generation card in my budget, and I'm guessing that the 7xxx series will get better drivers than the 6xx series.
Also, I'm not quite sure how reliable MSI, HIS, or ZOTAC cards are? I've only used XFX and ASUS before. Could someone please help me?
