Re: PC Buying Guide - July 2011

ok! no more elChepo CF setups for people who will upgrade (within 2-3years)

Atleast now its ok?
or does it also makes sense to keep the same card running for 3 years and then get another ?

Common man these configs ought to work in some scenario

Omi, that was not what I meant.

After three years, for an accurate statement- only a moron (not trying to attack/offend anyone, mods please edit the post if you feel it is offensive) would add another card for CF. By then it is better for someone to get a new card altogether.

6770 is a viable option for 1440x900 and 1680x1050 with tweaked quality settings with low AA on GPU-intensive games.

Re: PC Buying Guide - July 2011

That's what I was saying, in todays time even in 2.5-3 years things like graphics card become obsolete. Its not about any specific 6770 or 6850.
My point is, if a guy buying 6970 Lightning will not add another for like 2.5 years or even 2 years, did it really make sense for him to get that card, when he could have for the same price got a 6870 CF, and this is purely an example, I just want to explore the possibilities of multi gpu. I am not denying your point I know single card is more future proof and no scaling problems whatsoever etc, I want to know from you guys who are more experienced how they stand in scenarios like these? which are more common in India.

Re: PC Buying Guide - July 2011

Omi, I will surely post the benchmarks for some games, but I can only do it with my 6 core CPU as I don't have a quad core or dual core CPU. :sad:

Now a days, actually buying a mid range powerful card like HD 6870, GTX 560 Ti or HD 6950 and then upgrading it with another one within 1 year is getting more and more common. Even in thin forum you can find a lot of posts asking for suggestions for their 2nd card.
The thing is till now most of the people you are going for a high end card for the 1st time are not really comfortable with the idea of Multi-GPU setting. Unless you have little hands-on experience with some, multi-gpu setup is still not widely accepted as a generic solution for the 1st time buyers. That is the reason, We are not recommending it. But ya, if you have good knowledge and you are not gonna upgrade for at least 1-1.5 Yrs, then your suggestion perfectly makes sense.

Re: PC Buying Guide - July 2011

my friend is going to buy HD 6950, so I told him to buy MSI HD 6950 TF II or TF III but when he asked the local vendor (Asansol) about that, the vendoe replied " yeh koi graphic card hua, MSI achha brand nhi hai aur kharap ho jata hai, tum XFX le lo jo best hai aur kharap vi nhi hoga aur performance bhi MSI se achha hi hoga''...........what rubbish is this, now you guys tell me XFX HD 6950 or MSI HD 6950 TF II/TF III. Being a digit member, I know which one is better but I also need all members advice too.

Skud · Aug 3, 2011

@nilgtx260 My friend while buying in Asansol had the same problem.Just tell the shopkeeper that I am ordering this and if you bring anything else I will not take it.

Re: PC Buying Guide - July 2011

so what did you all decide? multigpu 6770 or 6950?

Omi · Aug 7, 2011

Re: PC Buying Guide - July 2011

6950 all the way for that range for now.
(if 6770CF price falls by 1k(500-600 for each) or so, then I suggest it to be open to discussion once again coz of even more added vfm for people with very tight budgets looking for performance)

for 6970 or 580 range, people who will NOT upgrade or get a second card in less than 1.5yrs(+5 months) or so, and have a basic CF/SLI know how(aka nerds), we can, I hope, safely suggest compatible CF setups

aby geek · Aug 7, 2011

Re: PC Buying Guide - July 2011

guys what card will you recommend for 5-7k budget.

d3p · Aug 7, 2011

Re: PC Buying Guide - July 2011

@ Abygeek :

Depending on the resolution & Purpose.

For HD Movies : Any thing below or like 5670 will do the job.

For Average Gaming : above 5670 - 6770 might come handy.

Re: PC Buying Guide - July 2011

Re: PC Buying Guide - July 2011

@all: I have seen Cabinets like Zebronics Bijli [1.4k], CM Elite 310[1.9k] & 430 [3k almost] are quoted high on the local markets.

Is it possible that you can maintain some online shop as standard pricing for these components ???

Or any other idea's.....

Next; When OP ask for some XX budget, why don't we consider that included tax or shipping prices as a part of the total budget ??? Any suggestions....
