which graphic card @10k

[Tribalgeek]

hey there guys,

My max budget is 10k maybe 500 more.
what should i buy?
my current specs include i5 2400/Intel DH67/Dell ST2220L

 

[digitaltab]

AMD RADEON HD 6870,
select between msi editions, i don't know whether it has got a twinfrozer edition or not...
sapphire and xfx are also considerable brands...

 

[Tribalgeek]

they are out of my budget bro max. budget 10.5k

what about msi 6850 cyclone for 9.5k

 

[thetechfreak]

6870 can be considered a bigger brother of 6850.

The 6870 although s a bit over budget will be worth buying.

But yes 6850 wont disappoint too

 

[Tribalgeek]

it will max out any games rite?(msi 6850 or saphire 6850?)

 

[thetechfreak]

At what resolution? Full HD?

a Few newer games might need a bit more firepower than a 6850.

But you should be able to play most of them.

@Techfreak I Saw that 7770 Overclocked edition(By xfx and saphire)beats 6850 in benchmarks.I saw it in some 2-3 websites

 

[Tribalgeek]

few newer games Mass Effect 3?

Get this:-

Flipkart: Sparkle NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 1 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card: Graphics Card

Or this:-

MSI N560GTX-M2D1GD5

 

[Tribalgeek]

ok Zotac 560 (non ti) - 10.5k or Saphire 6850 -9.5k or Msi 6850 cyclone- 9.5k or msi 6850 -8.8k?

 

[Skud]

560 > 6850.

 

[Tribalgeek]

I just cancllled the order of sparkle GTX 560 from flipkart coz they said it will take 20 days to ship. I am getting Zotac and MSI GTX 560 for 10.9k from Itwraes. should i buy that? how much performance increment will the 560 get over 6850 cyclone?

 

[Skud]

At least 10%. You can OC for more.

 

[thetechfreak]

I am getting Zotac and MSI GTX 560 for 10.9k

Rather than spending 10.9 on the non Ti version, get a 6870. Its better. Atleast than a non-Ti card

At least 10%. You can OC for more.

Dont you think 1 560 non Ti is slower than 6870?

 

[Tribalgeek]

so which should i buy ?
Zotac 560 or MSI 560?
dont wanna go MSi. just had a horrible rma experience.

@thetechfreak: if i had a budget of atleast 12k i would have buy that.
stuck in 10k range.
6850 or 560 thats the question.

 

[theserpent]

My vote goes to 560.Some Reviews Say 6850 should have been called 6750 or something.
But still both are good enough.

 

[Tribalgeek]

i've been thinking of 560 too..

@Techfreak I Saw that 7770 Overclocked edition(By xfx and saphire)beats 6850 in benchmarks.I saw it in some 2-3 websites

they are not launched in india. what about gigabyte 7770 8.3k @primeabgb

 

[jasku]

Get hold of a second hand 6870/6950/560ti, they all are priced at 9-11k and well worth money spent.

 

[Skud]

Rather than spending 10.9 on the non Ti version, get a 6870. Its better. Atleast than a non-Ti card

Dont you think 1 560 non Ti is slower than 6870?

560 non ti is slower than 6870, but also cheaper and fits OP's budget nicely. If he can spend over 11k, then 6870 is recommended.

 

[skeletor]

GTX 560 (non Ti) = HD 6870. Exactly same I'd say.
