Zotac 650 Ti 2 Gb AMP! edition in Friends PC

[a-raam]

hi there
I am helping my friend build a new rig around 25k and we finalised almost all the parts.
He has almost decided to get this GPU.
My query is will this GPU be sufficent for playing around 50 fps at max settings @ 1366 x 768 in games like NFS,Dirt 3,GTA 5,Hitman,Battlefield 3,FIFA 13,Assasins Creed,Portal 2,etc. even if it doesnt manage min 50 fps at that res with max settings, will it deliver playable smooth lagfree gameplay??

also he plans to buy a 1080p monitor by next year end so will this GPU suffice for that time??
awaitng replies eagerly..

^^ Avoid it at all costs. The pricing is ridiculous for a gtx 650 (non-ti) and it performs terribly.

At that price, you can get a gtx 650-ti which is worth it.

Get this- ZOTAC GRAPHICS CARD GTX 650 Ti 1GB DDR5

^^ I second this.
Avoid flipkart for buying PC components. Those are way too much overpriced there.

+1 for this.

For 1080p monitor in future, HD 7850 is what he should get.

i guess 7850 it is , then.

Will prices jn local market be cheaper for the components ???

 

[Cilus]

Ya, there is a high chance of that.

you mean of the prices being comparitively lesser right??

 

[Cilus]

yes, the local prices might be a bit lower than most of the Online shops.

or buy from SMCInternational (google it). You may have to play 100 bucks more for shipping but usually end price is lesser than local price. call them up or mail them.

haven't heard of them.how trustworthy are they??

and since i live in mumbai,i thought of going to Lamington road.
but a friend of mine tells me that you may be fooled there .like they may sell you a duplicate/second hand product in the original's box.

smc is a trusted seller. i've bought many things and got shipped as big as cabinet from them. No worry.

me and my 2 friends have bought PC components from SMC.

if you don't know where to buy from, you can very easily be fooled. ITWares (E-Lounge) & PrimeABGB are 2 of the most trusted electronic stores in lamington road. they also have their own online portal so you can find the address there.

That depends on buyer's location.

i noticed on SMC's site two things: Shipping @Actuals and Shipping Free.

now shipping@actuals: does it mean that the items which do not have shipping@actuals are prices without 4%VAT+shipping charges??

i guess my questions are pretty much answered.
hd 7850 it is. but why are the 1 gb versions so rare??

 

[anirbandd]

my question aint answered yet... :\

and 2GB is better. why ask for a 1gb anyway?

 

[topgear]

look at the first post - his friend will play at 1366*768 resolution for which 1GB vram is enough and when his friend will upgrade to a HD monitor later he might convince him to get another HD7850/HD7870 or something better to have the 1GB HD7850 at a sweet price
