Zotac 650 Ti 2 Gb AMP! edition in Friends PC

[a-raam]

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

which means he should grab ther 1gb version??

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

Cause, not many people are interested in that 1GB version.

my question aint answered yet... :\

Cause you are not OP of this thread.
And the answer would be yes, you have guessed it correctly.

no way ! the 2GB version is the most future proof as upcoming games will need more vram.

he calculated all of them and it comes to 33495 which is like very high.

he was trying to cut back on gpu and checked the 650ti amp! edition from zotac and he seems to be satisfied with the benchmarks.

if your friend is satisfied with the performance of Zotac GTX 650 Ti Amp then it's good for him - generally there's ~15% performance difference between the 650 Ti Amp and a stock HD7850.

BTW, at what price your friend is getting the Zotac GTX 650 Ti Amp ?

cant find it anywhere except FK and that too at 13.x k.
Then i noticed a gigabyte 2 gb 7850 @14.x k (factory OC).
So that shoul be a MORE sensible option

only thing is to convince his dad.

 

[saswat23]

Before geting gigabyte, confirm about its service centre in ur area.
Ask FK about this.

we decided about the 2 gb version.
so now the only thing that remains is to get a good deal on the 2 gb version and to check about service centres(wouldnt worry about it that much though)

 

[saswat23]

This a good deal: SAPPHIRE GRAPHICS CARD HD7850 2GB GDDR5

2GB version is what you should get but considering the price and performance the 1GB version is no slouch even at HD resolution but what should be priced around 11k max here is overpriced grossly.

so 14.8k for 2 gb oc gigabyte 7850 is a steal?
