Very good config JAs. But I was thinking that that the Tagan Stonerock 600 was also very good choice, especially at the price point..it is 1K cheaper.
And I was thinking if we can put a 2 GB version of 6950 withing that budget. There are some cheap 2 GB 6950 available. In Primeabgb, Sapphire HD 6950 2 GB is available @ 16.5K, only 2K higher than the 1 GB version. Check it here.

Re: PC Buying Guide - March 2011

thanks cilus.
seasonic is better and worth. just see the jonny guru reviews of 520w and others. excellent PSUs.
and 2gb version wont make difference especially at full hd at all. its almost the same performer as 1gb one. moreover then i wouldnt be able to adjust 560.

cilus i have put Gigabyte GA-H67MA-UD2H in 60k. it supports cfx only in x8 x4 mode. is it ok for another physx card? i mean any mobo with 2 pcie can be used?

Ok, fine. And regarding your Multi-GPU PhysX setup, ya, any mobo with PCI Express X16 slot can be used. So the X4 slot can be used easily for the PhysX card, even without any performance issue.

Re: PC Buying Guide - March 2011

Hi guys, been back at the forum after a long halt,,, so hv been completely outta tech news so plz help me get into the pace... alright...

I hope its NOT required to start up a new thread for my queries, if its so, plz do let me know...

Hello Jas, Cilus and all other guys here...

1.) Gaming Keyboard: Planning to buy a gaming keyboard, so saw videos and reviews of logitech keyboards G110 and G510 here ---> G110 vs G510
Both of them look the same (Except for G110 having softer pressing keys as compared to the slight-rubberised coating keys of G510 and they are bit harder (to press) as well (wich i prefer, as softer key press keyboards are NOT my type)...

I maybe wrong as to wether softer keys are better than harder keys, so do help me out with these 2 as well as other suggestions as well...(have been reading alot of Razor Arctosa) so recommend me..

BUDGET for Keyboard: max Rs. 5K

====================================

2.) Gaming Mouse: Also looking for a good gaming Mouse, Liked the Logitech G9x, its bigger in size than normal mouse also has interchangeable grips, I have no issues with large mice sizes ..
Also, anyother recommendations are welcome from urside to be suggested here

BUDGET for Mouse: max Rs. 4K

====================================

3.) Gaming Mouse Pad: Saw the Steelseries itched/brushed glass Mouse pad in this review along with the Logitech G9x and liked the appearance as well as smooth glide nature of G9x over the pad -----> G9x vs G500

BUDGET for MousePad: max Rs. 2.5K to 3K

====================================

4.) Physx Card: Plz let me know wat a physx card is all about..?? I mean having a gpu as well as a physx card has wat kinda advantage...

I already have a gtx280 (1GB) SSC Edition (From eVGA) running on MSi X58 Pro-E mobo along with a core i7-920 (Stock proccy, Stock HSF) with a 1x3GB DDR3 Corsair 1333Mhz RAM , so will a physx card is compatible with this GTX280 SSC (i guess Not,.. right) !

If there is significant improvement then i will buy the Physx card along with a new (compatible gpu) wich will NOT create a bottleneck for my core i7-920

====================================

5.) GPU: Also planning to get a new GPU, recommend me wich one to go for..

BUDGET for GPU: max Rs. 21K - 22K

====================================

Cheers n e-peace...

@ashu
which type of a gamer are you?
i mean do you like mmorpg/fps/....

and regarding graphic card,you have two choices
Saphhire HD6970 2GB
ASUS GTX570 Direct Cu II
both will be costing under 22k most probably
HD6970 being cheaper among two

to be honest
i dont find any major performance difference in those products(if they lie in similar price range)
its just how comfortable you are with them...right?

and regarding the availability....i don't know man....i live in delhi
i've heard that there is lamington road i guess to shop
however you can order them online
much easier

Pein · Mar 24, 2011

Re: PC Buying Guide - March 2011

which one wud be more better i mean if these cards are in 14500 inr price range.
then which one is more better the asus one is overclocked.

and one more thing i have read somewhere that overclocking cause unstable performance
and decrease the life of it...
is it true..
and if its true than asus is overclocked so wud it be worng choice

sry i m new beginner,...

hey and thanks a lot this made it easy to think of wat i should get...thx man

Re: PC Buying Guide - March 2011

ashu888ashu888, lets answer your PhysX card query..You know the PhysX games right.. in those games the PhysX calculation which improves the games quality by applying different real life physics rules.

Now if you are having a PhysX enabled card nVidia card (theoretically any nVidia cards staring from 8000 series having more than 32 stream processors are capable of PhysX), then along with the game rendering, the PhysX calculations are also diverted to GPU.
If you are having a single nVidia card, then both PhysX calculation and the gaming calculations are done by the single GPU which causes some performance hit in the games performance, in terms of FPS.

A dedicated PhysX card van be any nVidia cards having more than 32 Stream processors and it can be added along with your main GPU so that the entire physX calculation will be directed to the PhysX card and only gaming calculations are done by the main GPU.
It improves the game performances of PhysX enabled games like MAFIA, BATMAT arkam asylum dramatically.

Hey Cilus,thanx dude, really appreciate it,as simple and effective as it can get, thanx alot...

I guess (in general terms).. there will NOT be any harm even if I buy a separate PhysX card along with a gpu right..?? coz anyhow, the Separate PhysX card will reduce sum of the burden from the GPU ... say a ASUS GTX570 DirectCu II and a PhysX card (plz suggest one, i really hv no idea)

Also, i hv read the reviews and viewed the pics of this so called ASUS gtx570 DirectCu II gpu, and it looks impressive (its huge at 11 inches as well a sbeing 3 slots thick)

mg: so i guess this is the card to buy right..?? (the DirectCu II setup card).. !! wat are ur views,..??

(i currently hv a eVGA gtx280 (1gb) SSC (super super clocked) Edition GPU) but plan on buying a new nVIDIA based card preferably gtx570, as my budget for a new gpu is approx. Rs.22-23K, so need ur views. .

looks like this card (ASUS gtx570 DirectCu II) is the card to own this season right..??

Also, I am overly confused on Razer Keyboards vs Logitech g15/g510 keyboard

and

The same confusion can be said w.r.t Razer vs Logitech G9x mouse

so help me

-----------------------

Will buy these (Gpu,PhysX card,Keyboard,Mouse,Mouse pad (glass from SteelSeries) by april 1st or 2nd week)

-----------------------

CHeers n e-peace.....

err..its not that GTS 450 is only the physx card
every nvidia card have it

what you can do is buy HD 6970 @ 19k and spend the rest 4k on physx card
because 6970 will handle the gaming task and physx card will do the required calculations GT 240 will be enough here

ashu888ashu888 · Mar 25, 2011

Re: PC Buying Guide - March 2011

yes got it..

buy the ASUS GTX570 DirectCu II gpu and along with that buy this ---> PhysX Card (Zotax) AMP Edition right...????
