PC Buying Guide - March 2011

[rajan1311]

dude you can always change the timings of RAM na...have used CL7 on ripjaws and tridents both run fine at 1600MHz,CL7 (default was 8).

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

do you all think we need anything over 120k?

 

[vwad]

do you all think we need anything over 120k?

No. I don't think it is required. It should have its own thread for that high end rig.

 

[aby geek]

jasji
zotac gtx 580 amp will be avbl in jan 2011 its range is 33-36k.atleast thats what i found.if 3k is final please give me confirming link.

and i wanted to ask about gaming rigs using 6 monitors in eyefinity,and what resoulution do they play at,and what al res are possible currently above 2500x1600.

i agree above 120k is not required but please include one solid eyefinity config.

and yes which graphic cards are capable of running res above 2500x1600 and which perform splendid at these resolutions.

 

[topgear]

ZOTAC GeForce GTX 580 1536MB GDDR5 Graphic Card ( on lynx )
Rs :27530/-

grab one before january and the pricing is just awesome.

@ topgear

Ok buddy completely satisfied. Really not worth the premium. Actually in real world apps higher frequency modules with high cas latency are achieving top honours.

Thanks again for the info.

My Pleasure.

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

ok aby i will try.

but no replies on the configs.

 

[vwad]

ok aby i will try.

but no replies on the configs.

Those configs are awesome Jas Bhai. AMD ones have no problems. But Yeh Dil Mange More i.e. one config of about 50K which includes core i7 and x58 based mobo with low end GPU. :awesome: for the non-gamers. Try if possible.

 

[vickybat]

ok aby i will try.

but no replies on the configs.

Great configs JAS. But i think we should go beyond that 120k mark. Never should we limit ourselves.

By the way you haven't suggested any htpc rigs which are bound to overshoot 120k!

Remember the speaker list?

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

vicky i am making a 170k. then HTPCs and Physx.

 

[aby geek]

and yes you dont have to make high pricepoints just to quench the alpha geeks.

just put in what guide lacks or in otherwords put configs that can seiuosly be useful to a niche of users,regardless of money.

i am sure a ws config with evga w555 mobo and 4gb quadro is a substantial addition to this thread.

[rajan1311]

hey jas, in first config, those 2 cards - 6850 and GTS 250 on a 550VX aint good bro...the 250 is fairly power hungry, i would go against it...

 

[topgear]

^^ If not Oced the 1st rig will consume 450 @ max but VX550 can be deliver 492W on it's +12V rail - so that PSU will do.

An alternative option for MSI N450GTS Cyclone 1GD5 @ 7.8k would be :
Zotac GTS450 1GB GDDR5 @ 6.8k - 1k cheaper than the MSI one.

Spectacular Job Jas Bhai :salutes: :multiplesalutes:

added the physx ones. now will add htpc and office one of topgear in evening.

black ops is amazing

^^ If not Oced the 1st rig will consume 450 @ max but VX550 can be deliver 492W on it's +12V rail - so that PSU will do.

An alternative option for MSI N450GTS Cyclone 1GD5 @ 7.8k would be :
Zotac GTS450 1GB GDDR5 @ 6.8k - 1k cheaper than the MSI one.

But the PSU should be chosen such the its around 50% load, this seems like a bad idea loading it up so much..

Would you run a 6850 CF system on that PSU ? No. GTS 250 consumes significantly more power than a 6850.....
