^^ Please provide us to get some Surge Protectors which can provide backup power in power cut...We will suggest those things instead of an UPS then.

@ jaskanwar

I think, we can recommend the following instead of reference 7970:

Gigabyte Radeon HD 7970 @ 36.5k

Its non-reference with custom heat sinks and sports a triple fan design.

What say mate?

Re: PC Buying Guide 2012 - Q1

Best of the lot as far as cooling goes.

This also looks good:-

Gigabyte Radeon HD 7770 Graphic card @ 8.5k

Kingston V100 128GB SSD (Sata II) only 8560/- in Flipkart.

+1 from my side. Would be obviously better


BTW no one thinks we need workstation rigs anymore?

Re: PC Buying Guide 2012 - Q1

Buddy, I'm back after long time as full timer, after long suffering from lots of health problems like throat infection...don't worry about this beautiful thread.

oh, so how are you now?

errr...
1 thing. Where did the workstation rigs I recommended dissapear from the first page? Visiting this thread after a long time.

they have went to a notepad file in my pc.
along with some other things as mentioned above, they too needed a price updation.
but i dont know why, these days my whole pc time is being dedicated to gaming
(along with exam effect)

so i will do it soon

 

[thetechfreak]

Re: PC Buying Guide 2012 - Q1

Good. PM me the rigs if you can. Will update prices one rig at a time and then post here. Will also see if there are improvements to be made. Will take time as my exams too are on.

I think next time we post workstation rigs(if we ever so) we should put a disclaimer that if you want to do gaming then this GPU won't be enligh for you.

I oppose this for Multi-GPU setups. It will dump air into your case and such designs need some space to suck air. I speak from experience, as you all know.

We all know you have ample experience.

If it needs space, then a user can go for bigger cabinet ( read full tower) with proper fan placement.

Re: PC Buying Guide 2012 - Q1

Which is why you know nothing about this. As if case was everything... the GPU spacing is more important than the case. I saw someone in this forum with 2 GTX 560 Tis on an M-ATX board. That is the scenario I want buyers to avoid.

Please stop posting things and showing blatant ignorance. Instead of adopting such an attitude I would appreciate it better if you would ask for clarifications.

Tomorrow, Ill post a picture here (56K AND CELLPHONE WARNING, I'll post a direct link rather than embed code but you open at your own risk.) of my setup's scenario to show you what I mean.

Don't worry i have a broadband connection. Show me what you want to.

The bold part is a blatant point. Why are you always talking about multiple gpu's? Do you suffer from single-gpu phobia or something?

Why the heck would gpu spacing arise for a single gpu setup? And please maintain decorum and politely place your points and shake of your "know everything" attitude.


Hey hey one sec. Did you mean there'll be a problem placing two of those (7970)??

 

[Extreme Gamer]

Re: PC Buying Guide 2012 - Q1

obviously you have no clue about what I meant. I said to stick to reference cards for SLI/CF setups. That card is absolutely fine for single GPU rigs. I hope we've not stopped making SLI/ CF

 

[vickybat]

Re: PC Buying Guide 2012 - Q1

^^ Oh then i'm extremely sorry mate. I completely misinterpreted your post. I thought you were suggesting multigpu setups of previous gen cards instead of a single 7970. I take back my words mate. Was pretty disturbed yesterday.

Cool off mate.

 

[Extreme Gamer]

Re: PC Buying Guide 2012 - Q1

No problem :thumbsup:

It was my birthday yesterday and I'm in a good mood (although my exams are going on), so I'll forgive you this time

Thanks for the Links buddy, really helpful. Updated the *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/graphic-cards/151004-best-graphic-cards-money-india.html#post1557325 thread as per these cards.

Re: PC Buying Guide 2012 - Q1

sorry for my blunder on that
but this Gigabyte Radeon HD 7750 Graphic card
require pci 3 x 16 slot mother boards
cost of those motherboards
more these card hardly match up to nvidia gtx 560 in perfomance

 

[rajatGod512]

Re: PC Buying Guide 2012 - Q1

@Cilus isnt it intresting that these card(HD 7750/7770) are priced very well at SMC as the same Gigabyte HD 7770 is at 160 USD + shipping on newegg (160 USD into INR = 7.9k).We are almost getting it at the same price as US. Will these be the prices of these cards all over India ... it would be great , especially when HD 7800 series is coming up .

Re: PC Buying Guide 2012 - Q1

These are the only 77xx cards available here for now. I need pricing for single slot cards
