Hey Hi Jas, thanx.. :)

Well, (To be really frank) i really dont think investing in a Separate Physx card atm is a good idea, coz it will overshoot my budget (for gpu) wich is 22-24K (i still dunno the price of that ASUS enGTX570 DC II card, is it 25K)..??? :confused:

Ok, so as per all u guys here, the Razer tri Combo is gr8..?? ok will buy that.but plz try to reply to these below. :)

Razer Blackwidow -----> (shud i go for the Ultimate or the noremal version, also is the surface glossy and DOES it have backlit keys).???
Razer Imperator -------> (looks good, is the body "rubberised" type grip under the palm or smooth plastic)..??
Razer Destructor ------> (is it a glass mat or a normal giid quality rubber mat surface)..??

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

Cheers n e-peace....

Re: PC Buying Guide - March 2011

all right. I'll be locking this thread soon as I feel the old discussion is redundant and people who read the first post of this thread, also read other posts (old discussions) and are getting confused.

Let us start a fresh new thread April onwards.

ico what about creating 2 threads. one with only main config post and other where we all can discuss the configs?

Because we need to discuss before finalizing and all threads will then get filled up!

do one thing. get a 570 first and try all physx games with physx set to high. if you feel the lag invest in new card.

blackwidow ultimate which costs 5.9k AFAIK is backlit. if you want backlighting get a Logitech G110 for around 3-3.5k. its got custom colour backlighting. but blackwidow is also good as its a mechanical keyboard and all key macro.

ashu888ashu888, you are already having a GTX 280. So you can use it as a PhysX card along with the new GPU you are gonna purchase.

Well, in any multi GPU setup like SLI or Crossfire only one card is connected to the Display...but still they work right?:smile:

Re: PC Buying Guide - March 2011

umm cilus is kinda right you know when i went to tirupathi tagan 600 was quoted 4100 and he said i can discount it decently. so if you are getting tagan from tirupathi then its good .

also about the 60k config i feel processor can be upped, also if i remove the phys x card where should i put in the rs4200 then?

Re: PC Buying Guide - March 2011

alright but for that motherboard should support it right..
like 3 way sli or 2 way kind of that
we have to get a specific motherboard if we are planning on using more gpus..


and if wat u r sayin is true and one has enough budget to get two
gtx 580 gpu then he wont have problem for kind of next 6 yrs or more
it wud be a ultra gaming cpu

For having a PhysX card along with a main graphics card, you don't need any special kind of mobo...any motherboard with more than one PCI Express X16 slot will do the job.

And for the next quote, I didn't get your point.

Re: PC Buying Guide - March 2011

@ ashu888ashu888

Why don't you try the gtx 580 instead ? Since you will sell of your gtx 285, why not save up a bit more and get the fastest single gpu card instead? You may find a gtx 580 @ 25k-26k.

Otherwise the 570 directcu II is a splendid buy. You also have the option to buy another 570 later and sli them to see more than 90% scaling. They can also handle physx so need to invest in a separate physx card right away.

Your system is very very good and is worthy enough for a multigpu setup.

you need to install a 3rd party software ( available for free ) that will enable physyx for nvidia cards and nvidia physyx system software - this combo will enable hysyx for games even if you have a AMD card as thew main gpu ( monitor connected to this one ).

The logic is so simple - normally nvidia software don't support physyx when a AMD card is present as the primary gpu - that 3rd party software will override this software restriction. Now when you run a game that has physyx supprt - the game will offload all physyx related calculation to the nvidia card present and configured as a physyx card in your multigpu setup ;-)

Those G-Skill Ripjaws is used as reference only - if you can't find them get corsiar/transcend/kingston/crucial - any 1600 Mhz modules will do.

@ ashu888ashu888
hey buddy for any steel series product u r better off going to the direct distributor.
the company that is the main distributor of steelseries products is right here in mumbai
the company name is Faxtel and they are located in santacruz (east)
nehru road (it is the station road just follow the straight line from santacruz east public bridge n ull be able to find it)

their phone no. 022-26113055/5524/26170971
(source SteelSeries website)
by the way i had gone to their office to purchase the 3H series headphone and i must say it is a gr8 headset and a quality product
i also saw a demo of the merc keyboard and must say it felt awesome especially the gaming keys on the left hand side made especially for fps games
