" It'S iN tHe GaMe..."
Hii guys....if some of you guys remember i had asked for a graphics card and PSU config few months ago. But due to some unseen circumstances i couldn't buy any of those :oops: . (What i actually mean to say that i was unemployed and was broke :p). So here i am again asking for a newer advanced config. My queries:

1. I play games at no AA and generally medium settings on a resolution of 1600x900. So will the 7750 be good enough for at least two years?

2. If the answer to 1st question is "NO" then suggest me another one around the same budget (Rs.6500/- max.)

3. I've heard that the 7750 does not use the PSU for power supply. So will my mobo power the card???

4. Will the card fit in my cabby.

1. Which Power Supply do you have? (Be EXACT while naming the company and model)
Ans: iBall crappy ltd. :p doesn't matter i need a new PSU too.

2. What is your budget?
Ans: 6500/- rupiya. :)

3. Which resolution will you game at?
Ans: 1600x900

4. What are your current computer specifications?
Ans: in my signature.


My config is in my Signature.

For that price I think it HD 7750 is your best option.

Get the Gigabyte version then, it is around 6.4K. If not available in smc then try Theitwares.com.

HD7750/HD6770 is a must for that resolution. well this will leave at most 1k for PSU.

@ OP - sell your existing 9500GT at 1.5-2k ( or a little more if you can ;-) ) this should give you enough cash to buy a HD6770 @ 6.3k ( SMC International ) and a new PSU - either FSP Saga II 400 @ 1.9k or Corsair VS450 @ 2.1k ( Prime ABGB )

wish we could answer like this in the exams ... :p lol
Anyways, if it doesn't require an external power supply...why would i need a new PSU???? won't the mobo power it enough or am i missing something here??? [*NOOB ALERT*] :conspiracy:

EDIT:

I couldn't open the pics of my power supply which i had posted long ago in the forum...but i found the model no. it's LPE223-400(250W)power supply...so i guess i need a new PSU!!! right ya wrong??

That applies for HD 7750 only. HD 6770 does require an additional power connector.
A 250W PSU is not enough even if you get the HD 7750. If you had atleast 450W PSU that would have been OK. But as you don't you have to invest in a new one. And as you are spending for a new one, then why not spend a bit more and get one from good one. Get atleast FSP SAGA-II 350W for 1.5k. If you can the Corsair VS-450 for 2.1k is better option.

^^ Ya, it will fetch and please stop discussing how much your old hardware fetch here. Create a thread in Bazar section if you're ready to sell your product.

9500GT has 50W TDP and the TDP of HD7750 is 55W - so if OP's rig is running fine with a 9500GT it may also run just fine with a HD7750 - I know it's safe for Op to opt for a new PSu but if he don't has budget for a new PSU right now can't he just run the HD7750 with his existing PSU ?

^^ of-course a generic PSU is not recommended but he has a limited budget and corsair VS 450 and FSp Saga 350W ain't easily available everywhere - only decent unit he can grab is Corsair CX430v2 and the HD7750 will cost him alone 6.5k and there's no gurantee at what price he should be able to sell his 9500GT.

and these are the reasons why I said if can run the new gfx card with the old psu he can keep it and get a better PSu later by saving more money.

@topgear and @dibya_kol

Got your points...so basically keeping my current PSU with a HD7750 would be cutting it very close...so i think i should opt for a good PSU first like a GS600 and on the next month or the month after that i get a decent GPU which would last a bit more..??? or should i buy the GPU first??? :unsure: :stamp:

EDIT: i have thought about Cards not fitting in my cabinet....and i am afraid there would be such an issue with the PSUs as well??????????????
