I think people should scroll along the threads before posting theirs especially when u have a recent one similar to yours

Sapphire HD 7770 Edition GHz Graphic Card

 

[Thetrueblueviking]

Read the thread thoroughly and skip the 7770 for the 650ti.

op budget is less then 10k

 

[Thetrueblueviking]

The thread clearly mentions the ZOTAC 650 ti comes for 10.2 k.

OP can surely manage 200-300 bucks more for a better card.

 

[n33rav]

They have wrong price on site. I called them and they said 10.2 is price of ZOTAC 650. ZOTAC 650 ti is priced at 11.2k

If op can not go beyond 10k, Sapphire HD 7770 Edition GHz Graphic Card is the best option for him.

 

[topgear]

I would suggest Op to go with HD7770 PE - nothing comes close to this - available at ~9.2k.

 

[anirbandd]

if its the 7770 then why not go for the cheaper msi r7770 2fan @8.2k??

 

[topgear]

Op has the budget and PE Ed. Oc's better and has some unique features - that's why

 

[anirbandd]

the detachable big fan, with configurable fitting?? yeah.. thats mighty good.

any more advantages over the normal MSI R7770 2PMD1GD5?

HD 6850 is also available in less than 10k . Is HD 7770 better than HD6850 ?

 

[anirbandd]

nope.. 6850 has a 256bit mem bus width, more ROPs and stream procs. obviously more powerful than the 7770. and you can oc it to 1ghz. see topgear's guide on 6850 1gh oc.

do a comparision on sapphire or amd site for precise figures.

Theoretically, 6850 is faster than a 7770.

After the 12.11 drivers, 7770 has quite a lead on the 6850 at low resolutions in most games.
6850 still has the overall lead.

True but with the latest 12.11 Beta driver update, HD 7770 performs almost equal to HD 6850 with less than half the power consumption. Also in latest DirectX 11 titles, HD 7770 does have an upper edge.
Since OP is pending 10K, I think by spending 1K more, getting GTX 650 Ti is the best choice for him which offers performance slightly better than GTX 560 Ti.

 

[d6bmg]

HD7770 PE @~9K is the best choice as <10K card, at least for the time being.

 

[Cilus]

I think Zotac GT 650 TI 1GB GDDR5 @ 10.9K or Forsa GT 650 TI 1GB GDDR5 @ 10.3K is the best buy. It is more powerful than HD 7770 in gaming.

^^ Zotac is a good one. But Forsa? Regardless of the quality of card, it is best to avoid them.

nice find, recently FK is offering some great deals on gfx cards ( from 1.5-12k ) which most other online/local sellers can't even provide but once people make an particular item popular there the whole picture might change.
