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

PCI-E 3.0 is backward compatible with all the older PCI-E standards. So no problem to fit those cards in a normal motherboard.

Re: PC Buying Guide 2012 - Q1

I've found something interesting. For workstation cards (entry level), we can recommend amd firepro instead of nvidia quadro. Firepro's are giving excellent performance in a wide range of wporkstation apps including catia, maya, lightwave, ensight, solidworks etc.

Found a good detailed article in tomshardware. They were reviewing Amd firepro v3900.

Check it here - Source

We can recommend this here but price has to be confirmed first.

Re: PC Buying Guide 2012 - Q1

^^ Yup that a great case. It should be priced within 3k here to be worthy of a recommendation.

Guys, found a motherboard BIOSTAR TH67B at 5K in here: Biostar TH67B Motherboard - TH67B by: Biostar - TechShop.in - Buy Tech . this motherboard looks promising and web reviews are favorable. Best thing is it has two X16 slots @ X16-X4 speed. So good for CF of mid range cards and PhysX setup. It can be a good replacement of Intel DH67BL motherboard.

I wouldnt recommend 4x slot for CF past 7850s. I've heard that 7970 bottlenecks even 3.0 4x slots. 8x isnt an issue though.

Buddy, be a little realistic. A person who is gonna use a HD 7850 Crossfire or above, sure will have enough cash to get a decent Z68/P67 motherboard. Here I'm talking about lower mid range setup...like CF of HD 6770 or HD 6850 etc.

Also if you're already having a powerful GPU, the 2nd slot can be used for a dedicated PhysX card.

Re: PC Buying Guide 2012 - Q1

Yeah you're right. I just think H67 is crippled. Why spend on it for CFX at all? IIRC P67/Z68 is yours for 7.2k.

The idea of 4:1 asymmetrical bandwidth across GPUs also doesnt sit right with me.

With multi GPU configs 8-9k on a mobo should be common practice- you can never have too many VRMs and extra power sources on your board. With multiple GPUs there is additional load on the 24 pin connector and sometimes it can even melt.

Re: PC Buying Guide 2012 - Q1

That might be your personal opinion but actually 16X-4X has less than 10% inferior performance than X8-X8 setting up yo 1080P resolution. You'll find several reviews on this topic. In most cases Testers have used cards like GTX 580 or GTX 480 and found out that. That's why I wanna suggest this motherboard over DH67BL.

Re: PC Buying Guide 2012 - Q1

You're correct about the 4:1 thing. But 10% loss is not acceptable if you can get that 10% in 8x/8x. BTW the fermi isnt as much of a bandwidth hog as GCN is.

Re: PC Buying Guide 2012 - Q1

good board but personally i prefer DH67CL because of five analog audio ports(vs 3 on biostar) and one optical S/PDIF out port(vs none) not to mention i am not a gamer & would get a 6670 just to use madvr.

Re: PC Buying Guide 2012 - Q1

JAs, I think the 35K config needs to be revised. You have used AMD APU 3500 along with HD 6790 here. Now if you are using a discrete GPU there is no point of getting an low end APU as processing and gaming performance of A6-3500 is lower than Pentium G-620. So I have update the rig. Here is my suggestion:-


Intel Pentium G620 @ 3.55K
Biostar TH67B @ 4.8K
Corsair Value series 1333 MHz 4GB X 2 @ 2.2K
Western Digital Caviar Blue WD3200AAJS 320GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache SATA @ 3.8K
LG 22X SATA DVD Writer @ 0.85K
Seasonic SII 520 Bronze 80+ @ 3.7K
MSI HD 6850 Cyclone/OC @ 8.7K
BenQ G2025HDA 20" LCD @ 5.6K
BenQ LCD Monitor Price India, Buy BenQ G2025HDA LCD Monitor - Infibeam.com
Amkette ClASSIC DUO @ 0.4K
Zebronics 600VA @ 1.275K
Altec Lancing BXR1221 @ 1K

Total: 35.8K

Changes are:-
Added Pentium G620 and Biostar H67 Motherboad with two PCI Express X16 slots.
Added 320 GB HDD
Added 8GB Ram
Updated the Gfx card with HD 6850
Changed the Dell Monitor with a slightly cheaper BenQ Display.

While it's available, 6850. Once it vanishes, we can shift to 7770.
