Once again,thanks to everyone of you for lending me your valuable advice and insightful recommendations.
@Keviv219:Thanks for posting such comprehensive information pertaining to the performance of radeon 5770 in graphically intense games like GTA 4.After reading it,I'm feeling quite eager to opt for this card.But the benchmark reports that I've read on the internet are all suggestive of the fact that the GTS 450 too,yields similar performance in most games at higher resolutions,albeit there may be a slight difference of about 5-6 FPS in case of certain games like crysis.Are u using any overclocked version of this card or the normal version?
@vickybat,neojjjk,Jaskanwar Singh:I have a predilection for nvidia's graphics cards because i have been using them for quite a long time and have not faced any significant reliability issues with any of them.So this situation has put me in a bit of a dilemma because on one hand,i am eager to buy the zotac gts 450 as it is not only inexpensive but is also a reasonably good performer for its price;however on the other hand,I have learnt recently that the XFX Radeon HD 5770 is currently available for around Rs 8000 and so i am feeling rather tempted to buy it-do u think it will be worthwhile?Or should i just stick to the GTS 450?
As i have never used any ATi graphics card till date,i have some questions about them:
1.Ati GPUs do not support PhysX-will this have any adverse effect on the graphics card's performance while trying to run titles that have been optimized for physX (such as mafia 2)?
2.Older ATI drivers used to be riddled with bugs and other issues which had a detrimental effect on the overall performance of their graphics cards.Are Ati's current drivers still prone to such issues or has the situation improved significantly now?Do ati gpus tend to overheat?
3.Are all games compatible with Ati gpus?Some games that I intend to play in future,like Batman:arkham city are likely to be heavily optimized for nvidia's graphics cards-will using an ati gpu to run them become a major disadvantage in those situations?
I'll be glad if someone kindly answers all of these questions.
