as i already said OC is not for me.i don't want to void the warranty and damage the card in any way.after searching locally ,either they don't sell or some who sell very low range old GFX card pricing around 2-3k.
here i got these quotes;
sapphire HD7770 - rs9750
zotac GTX560 - rs 12500
asus GTX550 - rs 9000 (he don't had 560)
don't know these prices are exclu or inclu taxes.

i will act as soon as PSU reaches to me .why flipkart is taking 9days (16aug-25aug) to ship the PSU ? maybe it was no in stock.
MSI gtx560 has two power inputs , does it matter.does this card run hot ? (my temp right now are chassis temp - 52 c ,proc temp - 35 c).also i have read about GTX560SE .are GTX560SE and GTX560 same ?

what is SMC doing ! now they have decreased the price of MSI HD7770 back to 7700 which was increased to 8100 after i called them.is this the real price or what.primeabgb are better than them in keeping their websites updated and provide new offers daily.

Those prices are overpriced even if they are vat inclusive.

Can't say why the long delay but sometime this happens due to courier issue.

a card with two power connectors usually consumes more power and hence more heat generation but if the coling solution of the card is good enough you don't need to worry about temps.

GTX 560 SE is a stripped down version of GTX 560 with and offers less performance :

GTX 560 : Core clock 810MHz, 1620MHz Shader clock, 4008MHz memory, and 336 Cuda cores
GTX 560 SE : Core clock 776MHz, 1552MHz Shader clock, 3828MHz memory, and 288 Cuda cores

so ,i assume that this MSI NVIDIA N560GTX M2D1GD5 is not SE make. this model has both single/double fan option but the picture on the site is a single fan.is that enough ?
Flipkart says it will ship the item on 23aug and it will reach me on 25aug. (booked on 16aug).
here is one more option MSI N560GTX-M2D1GD5 GeForce GTX 560 (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card costing at rs10800 .should i go ahead and pay them through NEFT ?

one more thing ,i searched the net for the review of this make but none found.only twin frozr GTX560 make review ,i found.

i found this new quote from abacus peripheral ;
Powercolor 7770 - rs 8500
sparkle GTX 560 - rs 10,100

does these prices good ? they provide powercolor ,sparkle and palit sales & service (hand to hand). are powercolor ,sparkle or palit good brands ?

BMG ftw!!
If you are buying HD7770, then I can't understand why are you not buying from SMC when they have the MSI model, rightly priced.They ship their products all over the India.
ABout getting power cooler card, I would like to say that, MSI is better than powercooler in after sales service.

is this good Sparkle NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 buy at rs10100 since flipkart is selling it at 1600 more ? or this MSI N560GTX from itwares.
look what SMC is doing ,they have increased the price ,decreased the price in just a week and when called them tell me different price.that's why i'm not able to trust them. (price- first7700 -increase to 8100 -when called say 8300-today it is again 7700 ).
i will go for HD7770 at range of 8k if found.
i will go for GTX560 at range of 10k if found.

Price changes almost everyday/everyweek due to change in forex market.

i do called them and asked the price of msi .they told me it's rs 8300.it's the price shown on their websites that changes.

ok i found this *www.flipkart.com/zotac-nvidia-gefo...9YNG&ref=548dc7ff-143a-4e66-9e4f-b65d885b49ca but without OC one at 13,800 INR locally.will this be a good buy ? i was just going to buy it as it said it require 500 w so i just stopped to ask here first .does corsair CX430v2 will support it .

which one to go for (zotac 5yrs warranty)
1.*www.theitwares.com/zotac-geforce-g...s-hdcp-ready-support-graphic-card-p-2459.html
price at 10,589 at itwares
OR

^^ after sales RMA issue - heard this ain't very good for Sparkle and running GTX 560 Ti is not recommended ( though you may find some people doing this ) for the config you have - you should not even consider GTX 560 if you want to play safe.

now ,i have got this mail from flipkart;
"Dear Customer,
We regret to inform you that your order (OD20816211970) for the item(s) mentioned below has been cancelled as our suppliers have confirmed it's unavailability.
Product Details Cancelled Quantity Price / Unit
Corsair CMPSU-430CXV2UK 430 Watts PSU 1 INR 2875"

so ,what would be ideal if i want to play atleast 1024x768 with playable framerate that will run without doing any PSU upgrade ?
just upgrade to something that will run on this *www.mercury-pc.com/product-de...productid=640# .
here are the specs of it:--
OUT| +3.3 |+5V |+12V1 | +12V2 | -12 | +5 |
| 20 A |14A | 13A | 15A |0.3A | 2.5A |
| 120W |150W | 180W |3.6W | 12.5W |
| 385W | |
| 400W |


does hd7770 will run on this psu .
tell me about these ;
1.powercolor - HD7770 - COST - 8500
2.powercolor - HD7750 - COST - 7616
3.XFX - HD6670 - COST - 6615

also want to add that these companies have their service center here (powercolor ,asus ,sparkle ,palit ,sapphire ) .don't know about zotac. MSI don't have here a single retailer and only have collection center.

please answer someone ! i can't wait soon i am gonna buy in these three.

OK ,i have ordered this from itwares .
1.MSI NVIDIA N560GTX M2D1GD5 at RS 10,800
2.CORSAIR Builder Series CX430 V2 430W at RS 2,689

it was now a headache to choose one after reading so much reviews ,forums ,searching locally ,waiting for so long .i just wanna to loose this headache so i ordered these.
first i though of buying 7750 without PSu upgrade.then i though if current psu will not handle it then i have to buy a new one.then i though if i have to upgrade a new PSU ,why should i get 7750 ,why not 7770 which is priced at 10,700.
if gtx560 costs 10,800 ,why not choose it.so i concluded gtx560. now just i hope ITwares shipped it soon and i get these soon in my hands.

^^ Congrats ;-) and don't concentrate too much about windows rating -- monitor temp/volt level , run some benchmark apps to compare the scores and play a few games.
