Suggest Graphics Card

Hi Guyz..

Well before posting here i tried to search in various threads to see if some one has same query. But its so confusing over there, so i decided to write a new one for me.​

Friends I need a Gpu with budget around 6K.. Kindly suggest me gpu according to keeping my current configurations and future expectations as given below.

Specifications:

Intel P4 3.00 Ghz
Asus P5 KPL AM/PS based on Intel G31 Express Chipset Arch. LGA 775
2 GB DDR2 667Mhz
2 TB HDD Seagate (Sata II)
450 Watt PSU

Budget for GPU - around 6K
Gaming Requirement - All Current Games Like Crysis Series, Farcry Series, Gears of War, COD MFx etc etc...

I will soon upgrade my processor to somewhat Core 2 Quad Cores (that could work with my current MB), so the gpu u suggest should be compatible to both.

*** and yes any kind of suggest is most welcomed.. Please Start!

Thanks!

Thanks for your reply... well i'm not much knowledgeable but i'm giving you exactly wht written on the slip over the PSU.

Its "Necola" Switching Power Supply (i think its local brand)
Model ATX p4
Maximum Output Range - 350/400/450W (450W Checked)

Is it fine or i should diagnose it more???


Please post ur psu details

Increase ur budget by 500 bucks more and get HD 6770 1GB for 6.5k.
IMO ur CPU will be much weaker as compared to ur GPU will be a bottleneck too. Its better if you get the GPU after upgrading ur system. Also for HD 6770 u would require a good SMPS like FSP SAGAII 500W at 2.1k.
And as of now Core1Duo and Core2Quads have reached their EOL. Even if you find their old stock, dont get them. Now instead of C2D u get i3 and instead of C2Q u get i5 and i7. And these iCore processors are much faster than the C2Ds and C2Qs.

processor & GPU compatibility is not related.

you need to get a new PSU when you for a GPU. this one mayn't be able to take the load & will die. so total budget for GPU + PSU?

putting it straight

1.
psu upgrade is reqd u may be able to run the config off ur current psu but...its no guarantee and more often than not, it will take down ur entire system with it. Maybe ur card may fry or ur mobo will blow off capactors or ur core voltage will fluctuate damaging ur processor for good.

So get the FSP saga II 500W psu for 2k

2.
For the games u mentioned...to enjoy them on med-high settings on a 20" monitor HD 6770 is minimum u should look for.
So get that for 6.5k

3
Ur proccy while not a very bad bottleneck, will not let ur card unleash its full power
If possible get a second hand c2quad since its not worth wasting money on c2 series anymore. Else get a total upgrade of proccy+mobo+ram. In 8k u can get a AMD config which will be future proof too

A single core Pentium 4 is serious bottleneck to all current games...almost all of them require at-least a dual core processor and plugging a HD 6770 with a P4 will cause serious bottleneck and none of the game will run fluently.

I've seen a P4 3 GHz with a HD 5750, even COD 6, a not so demanding game, was running like slideshow in 1440X900 resolution.

^^ yep, OP needs to get a new cpu - at-least a pentioum dual core e5 series which should be around ~3k and has decent performance but going with a quad core cpu makes more sense so Op needs to get a new GPU+CPU+PSU+Another 2GB ram ;-)

So nice to see you all guys... very very thanks :)

Me: Keeping all of u guys suggestions i'll upgrade my PSU with GPU but its seperate upgrade so the budget may be increased to 2K-2.5k more for it.

Me: hmm.... bad luck but can you tell me if it will run upcoming FPS games for atleast 1 year?????

Me: Bro the problem is i can upgrade the things One by One not all in once.. so i try to keep the upgrades according to my future upgrade i will make..


Hmm.... a total upgrade??? is not possible right now i can make upgrades one by one. with every month (8k-10k) budget.

but first i want to upgrade my GPU first (is it right na?).. coz i want to play all games left behind.

No, its not right way. Start with your processor, motherboard, psu,cabinet,ram first. Then go for extraction cards like graphics, audio etc.

What is th display resolution of yours? I f it is up to 1600X900 then consider HD 6670 @ 5.4K.
I think for now your immediate upgrade should be:-

Intel Pentium Dual Core E5700 (it is a C2D without SSE 4 instruction set) 3 GHz @ 3K
FSP SAGA II 500W @ 2K
MSI HD 6670 1 GB GDDR5 @ 5.3K

Your Cpu will sure bottleneck.So better to upgrade cpu+mobo+ram first

To put it simply there are no better gaming cpu than the intel sandy bridge at this moment(you can check various benchmarks yourself).
i3 2100-5k
i5 2400-8.75k
i5 3500k-10k
....................
Now get a LGA 1155 Motherboard.

If you want a cheaper quadcore solution go for AMD
AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE-5.5k
And get a AM3 Motherboard.

Now, Graphics card...
For 6.5k get HD6770
For 8.7k get Gtx 460

And at last get a good PSU
FSP Saga II 500W-2k
If u want an expensive one get corsair.

There is no i5-3500k available.
GTX-460 for 8.7k!! Where? I thought its around 10-10.5k. Then at this price its a good substitution for HD 6790.

So much helpful bro... thanks for reply.

You guys have made lot of things clear.. Well one more thing Everyone here suggesting me HD6770..
but kindly provide me its full name with company name like nVidia HD6770 etc.

well i surely not go for AMD plateform so don't suggest me that one. but can tell me approx price of LGA 1155 mobo??

thanks saswat for pointing it out.It should be 2500k not 3500k.And Gtx 460 is 8.7k+tax in MD computers.

well i surely not go for AMD plateform so don't suggest me that one. but can tell me approx price of LGA 1155 mobo??[/QUOTE]

depends on what chipset u take.
H67-allows u to use integrated gpu but not overclock.(4.5k-6.5k)
P67-allows u to overclock but u cannot use integrated GPU.(6.5k)
Z68-allows u to do both but expensive at this moment.(9.5k)
H61-same as H67 minus some features.U may say H67 with just the bare essentials.U wont get USB3,RAID,SATA 6gb/s.(3.5k)

The prices are average and can differ.

^^ are you talking about GTX 460 SE or GTX 460 768MB edition ??

@ OP - AMD is the manufacturer of HD6770 gpu and you can get a HD6770 made by different AIBs manufacturers like Sapphire, MSI or powercolor ;-)

My suggestion goes with MSI R6770 Twin Frozr II/OC ;-)

WOW!!!! Stunning replies frm you..

Alrite i'm finalizing now...

Please tell me price of MSI R6770 Twin Frozr II/OC and without OC one also
and also suggest me more similiar cards Having 1GB memory and DX11 andd pixal shader version 5 or more.
