Urgent....Need IPS Monitor 24-27"

[shreeux]

You have done a major blunder by getting a QHD monitor without considering what GPU you have.

Yes, Maybe...I think HDMI & DisplayPort both are giving same Output.

As per GPU, specs show it will support 2560 x 1440 resolution....AMD Radeon™ HD 6670

First change the psu,it may cause your new gfx card to go as well.
CORSAIR SMPS CX450 - 450 WATT 80 PLUS BRONZE CERTIFICATION ATX PSU WITH ACTIVE PFC

What is your budget for gfx card,do note that your processor is quite old so getting a decent card for 1080p gaming(like 1050Ti) will be a waste as it won't be fully utilized by your processor.Better get some 2nd hand gfx card on olx or some cheap card like gt710/730 if all you need is display output.

CX450 is also available at delta IT so better check it out personally by going there as you seems to be in Chennai.Your mobo is quite old but it should have same power connectors as any recent mobo so any modern psu should work fine.

Ok ...will try in Olx

 

[whitestar_999]

Make sure to check the card personally by running some game on it for 5-10min on seller's pc/your pc before paying money.

Graphics card 1050TI G1 Series 13500 on Olx....It's worth to buy?

 

[Nerevarine]

No, get RX570 from primeabgb at 13.9k

Ok...My SMPS will support or to be upgrade?

 

[Nerevarine]

Change to the smps whitestar suggested, your current smps isnt good enough for any gpu.
You may get a lower end gpu like GTX 1050 (non ti) + smps if your total budget exceeds it.
Anyway, if the purpose of buying a gpu is anything other than gaming, you will be okay with very low end cards like GT 1030, 710 etc.

 

[whitestar_999]

Like I said earlier,any decent modern card will not be able to be fully utilized by your old processor.Even if you buy RX570 it will perform at best somewhere ~50-60% of its capacity but it will still be much faster than your 6670.Only point in going for RX570 now is if you are planning on getting a new system within 5-6 months else save your money & go for some cheap card & buy a good gfx card only with your new system.

1080p is about 2 megapixels, 2K is about 5 Megapixels and 4K is about 8 Megapixels (million pixels).
Pixels are small unique dots, which make an image/ display. The more pixels you have, the better detail you will see (not quality, detail)...
However, more megapixels means more workload for the GPU, so you get lesser frames per second (fps) in gaming...

I don't understand how forum members recommended you 2K display on this GPU. Just for display/light multimedia its perfectly ok, but you specifically said "Games, movies".
Where does one get loads of 2K movies? Did you specifically mention you use Netflix or so? And even Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon (6-8 year old game) won't run on your setup satisfactorily. Then what gaming you plan, GTA Vice City?

To be honest, the kind of medium needs you have, there's no need for a 1440p monitor.. I myself am an avid online gamer who games on 1080p (the GPU is Nvidia GTX 1060 6G).

Most content we see is just 720p or 1080p, including ripped movies. For a GPU, Games run slower on higher resolutions like 2K, and as time progresses, newer games will stop running satisfactorily.
Ask yourself do you have enough 2K or 4K content or access to it? (In one of your posts, you said you're confused about what these terms are).

My sincere money saving advice would be that you sell this monitor off, if you get about 18-20k. Then get a good 1080p one... And get either RX570 or GTX1050Ti with Corsair 450W PSU. That will ensure good future proofing & you'll save some good money too...
Upgrade CPU if its a bottleneck, a latest low end Core i3 is enough. (but not if you're running Windows 7, 8.1 and you need updates. Google about it..)

Alternatively, if you want to keep the 2K setup, go for at least a GTX 1050Ti or RX570, nothing below it. Even that will somehow give sufficient fps (I consider 60fps as a basic standard for competitive gaming & 45-50 fps for casual gaming, & most displays are 60Hz)...

Don't worry, A reasonable portion of the world is still on 768p (1366x768) and even 1080p won't get obsolete anytime soon...

Thanks for your suggestions and spending your valuable time.

After my existing Monitor HP Pavilion 23CW was gone.

I decided to buy slightly... increase size of the Monitor as well as Display resolution with my existing setup.

At that time check with 32 inch Monitor... Completely uncomfortable for me due less space and distance. So my mind fixed to 27 inch Monitor.

Later come to Display resolution. At that Time 4K Monitor are more expensive also my setup not compatible. So instead of 1080...I choosed 2K. But unfortunately or missed my GPU config by me. It will support 2K in DVI (2560x1440) and HDMI (1920x1200).

Since then I using as a Monitor in 1920x1200 @ 60 hz only.

Now GPU also gone.

As of now reading various thread,forum,sites and our digit members recommend about GPU.

Now in my choice is RX570 along with RMX 750W PSU. Later will upgrade CPU, Mother Board and RAM.

Or

Buy any used GPU as of now, later will upgrade completely.

As of now more Latest version of GPU in OLX.
Some of them create panic don't buy because of they used in Mining 50% of life already gone. I don't know about Mining.

One of OLX member ready to give
"Gigabyte AORUS Radeon RX 570 4GB" in sealed box with warranty. Now more panic and confused go for second hand one instead of buying new one.

 

[Nerevarine]

You need to ask yourself, if gaming is a requirement. If so, then go for a higher end GPU and make up your mind to upgrade sometime in the future. If not, then go for a lower end GPU that is capable of outputting displayport 1.4b

Yeah... Can't update higher end GPU only....It's all components correlated.

As I said above thinking of GPU and PSU. Later will update remaining.

If any suggestions welcome about my choice or idea.

 

[whitestar_999]

RMX750 psu is overkill for you.Any good 550W psu is more than enough for a typical system with nvidia 1060/equivalent card.For better future upgrades you can go with TX650M/similar good quality psu but above 650w psu is only for those who plan on doing some serious overclocking of 6/8core processors with a 1080Ti/equivalent card.

Ok ...TX and RM series warranty difference is 7 and 10 years respectively. Also RM price 2.5K higher.

So I prefer higher warranty for safety and future proof also any add on further.

If I use RM750 it may cause any affect any other component in setup due to over Watts?

 

[whitestar_999]

RMX is better quality indeed than TXM,I just thought to let you know in case you are cutting down on money to buy some other pc component to buy this psu.If you have the budget then of course it is a good option & psu wattage has no effect on other components if psu power is more than what system can draw.It is an issue only if psu has lower capacity than system power load.

So, monitors less than 32" fall under 18% GST right?
Still some e-sites are showing the older prices based on 28% GST.

Yeah....Until few months or to clear old stocks.
