Extreme Gamer, regarding your Metro performance in 3D, Metro itself is one of the most demanding (probably the most) DX11 title available currently. Even in 2D, in its highest setting with AAA Anti-aliasing a single GTX 580 cannot get past 35 FPS. So how can you expect it to be playable in 3D by setting everything in highest level. For 3D generation, GPU will have some penalty in performance, not 2 times but say around 1.X times. So it can't be a reason for not going for 3D without SLI setup. Here the problem is generic, not 3D or 2D related.
And if some future 3D games can stress GPU that much the I think 3D rig owner has the option to go for SLI by adding another 580.

AMD HD3D is for Blueray 3d only, no games support 3d with amd cards like nvidia, amd does not have any active program for 3d like 3d vision, 3d gamers will need to stick with nvidia.
Count the number of games here:

TriDef 3D Ignition - 3D Games

How it Works | iZ3D

All these games will work with AMD HD3D over HDMI 1.4a 3DTVs (most) or HDMI 1.4a 3D monitors (very few).

but smc stocks the fsp tacen heavily . how much cost difference between saga II and cheapest tacen?

and yeah a good alternative for saga 500 is tagan 500w tirupathi was hinting a price of arnd 2500 while the box had arnd 4k.

so i think tagan 500 and 600 should be considered as they are a few hundreds costlier than saga 500.

also seasonic 400 is much better than corsair builder series.

^^ Yup extreme edition has 3gb vram and a reverse fan spinning technique to throw out the dust accumulated. The fan colour also changes when its thermally hot.

Btw, primeabgb is also providing free shipping. But smc is way better than them.

But its not available here, if anyone imports it here it will be acro and smc will sell it first, now the wait(for like 50yrs) :grin:

Yes,SMC is better, primeabgb delays shipping a lot.

Radeon HD 4670 or HD 5450?

Hey everybody,

I am going for either Radeon HD 4670 or HD 5450 because my purpose is not gaming solely and i need a performance GPU, i may upgrade it later.

I checked that 4670 is far better that 5450. But 5450 supports DirectX 11 while 4670 supports DX 10.1. I will be using Windows 7 and mainly multimedia purpose and basic gaming (old school fan!).

Please help me out if i should go for Radeon HD 4670 or 5450?? I will be getting either between 2000-2500Rs range. :smile:

You can't play games with DX11 effects on 5450 as its too weak, so get the 4670 and play games.

Ya, I think it is a good option...even I was thinking of that. GTX 560 in SLI is more powerful than a single GTX 580 in terms of GPU performance, but was not recommended for its 1 GB frame buffer. Now with the 2 GB version it will allow us to get proper 3D depth along with the FPS performance.
Although I didn't find out any 3D review, some nVidia Surround with 3 Display or 5760X1200 resolution, review is available for it and it completely out-shadowed a single GTX 580 1.5GB
