i have searched the thinkdigit forum for the recommendation and on other forums also.but i want to present my case and want recommendations from fellow members.so ,are these cards be good enough ?

*MSI AMD/ATI R6670 MD1GD5 1 GB DDR5 Graphics Card | Graphics Card | Flipkart.com
*HIS AMD/ATI Radeon HD 6750 GPU 1 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card | Graphics Card | Flipkart.com
*Sapphire AMD/ATI HD 7750 1 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card | Graphics Card | Flipkart.com

i have bought many items from flipkart but not from primeabgb or smc as they don't have netbanking facility.also prefer to buy those cards that have service center in my city patna.i think sapphire ,xfx,asus has one.not sure about HIS and MSI.

Sapphire Radeon HD 7750..............NO doubt.

 

[sujeet2555]

i know 7750 is newer than all the three but what is the performance difference between 6670 and 7750 ? as the price difference is about 2k

 

[SIDDHARTH.BEAM]

It's run much cooler compared to the previous series so u had a better chance of OC.

HD7750 performs better than HD6670 but HD6770 performs better than HD7750 but power consumption of HD7750 is very low ( like a HD6670 ) - so overall HD7750 is better suited for you and the PSu you have - if you can get a PSu like Corsair VS450 @ 2.1k then get the HD7770 @ 8.2k ( SMC ) for maximum performance

 

[zinbart]

Close your eyes and buy ATI 7750 - It will also furture pproof your build

 

[sujeet2555]

how about this
MSI R7770-PMD1GD5
price quoted as Price: 7,700.00 (price may change)
but i haven't bought from smc because of neft cubersome process.

 

[saswat23]

No doubt that's a good card for that budget but your PSU can't handle it.
If you are thinking of getting that card then you need get a good branded PSU. Corsair VS-450 for 2.2k is the cheapest option.

 

[sujeet2555]

if i can get MSI R7770-PMD1GD5 at that price point ,i can upgrade my psu to Corsair CMPSU-430CXV2UK PSU.will that combination good ? but i have no experience with SMC (ordered a while ago ram but then i cancelled due to neft option and get it from flipkart ) and till now this card is not available locally.

also upto what max gfx card can my psu can handle ?

 

[topgear]

^^ The PSu and gfx card cmobo is good .. and the PSU will even handle a HD7850 easily with the cpu you have.

This would be a very good combo.
Go ahead and buy it.

 

[sujeet2555]

i have contacted smc about it and they replied "Yes the inquired MSI R7770-PMD1GD5 is in stock @ Rs 7700 + tax = Rs 8100 " .and today they have changed the price from 7700 to 8100 as listed price.
for corsair PSU should i buy from flipkart or itwares as price difference is 200 between them.

i am not going to OC it ,so it don't matter.please explain is neft safe and how to use it ? i haven't use neft before only netbanking/debit card.i am ready to buy this combo but it is over my budget.is there any gfx card that will run on current psu ?
i have read many reviews that it is better to get 6850 than 7770 but i can't find any cards in my range.

 

[d6bmg]

About Corsair PSU, buy from anywhere you like. Both are good sites, one offer cod and price is ~200/- higher and other doesn't.

 

[sujeet2555]

i am just going through web for the review and comparisons and has made me so much confused about my choice.PSU choice is fixed if i might buy.
from the other review/comparison sites ,i got this line-up of budget cards keeping price-performance ratio as base.is this correct ?
6850 > 6750>6670>6870>7750>7770>6770>6790>6570. so ,this lineup makes 7770 a not so good choice.

now i think i have these options ;
1.MSI AMD/ATI R6850-PM2D1GD5 1 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card | Graphics Card | Flipkart.com + Corsair CMPSU-430CXV2UK 430 Watts PSU | Psu | Flipkart.com

OUT OF STOCK

2.MSI AMD/ATI R6670 MD1GD5 1 GB DDR5 Graphics Card | Graphics Card | Flipkart.com + no psu upgrade
ALSO OUT OF STOCK

searching for 6850 at low price to accomodate psu upgrade.

Source?
AFAIK, at this point of time, it is not totally correct.

get it from FK

HD 6870 > HD 6850/HD 7770 > HD 6770/HD 7750 > HD 6750 > HD 6670.

HD 7770 is within 5% of HD 6850. HD 7750 is also within 5% of HD 6770. (with the latest drivers of course) And power consumption very less in HD 7770/7750.

Pick up HD 7770.

6850 > 6750>6670>6870>7750>7770>6770>6790>6570. so ,this lineup makes 7770 a not so good choice.

I dunno where you read this. You may look below for a proper order.

look at post no. 10.

 

[sujeet2555]

look at post no. 10.

but it says "This shows that the new “GCN” architecture is really optimized for the processing of “regular” programs, as promised by AMD.
Analyzing gaming performance alone, we think that if you have around USD 150 to spend on a video card, you will be better off buying one of the “older” video cards."
