Gigabyte GTX 550 ti performance at 1366x768

[BilalAthar]

I wanted to know this card's gaming ability at 1366x768,how does it compare with the XFX 6790.here is the card link.

P.S In my country the 6790 is priced at 14200 while the 550ti is at 12900.1$=85 of my currency.

550ti should do very well at that resolution maxing most of the games

6790 will be slightly better than the 550ti

performance wise 6790 is intended to beat GTX550 Ti so if the price is higher than GTX 550 Ti that is to be expected. i can't find reviews that use your intended resolution but both card should offer good performance at such resolution.

It depends on which game you play but the 6790 and GTX550ti trade equal blows.At your resolution,depending on your CPU,you should come close to maxing out almost any game.

To me, spending the extra for a 6790 doesn't seem worth it.It's only about a 5-10 fps gain on average.

Which is more tempting the physX and Cuda Technology of GTX 550ti or the better anti aliasing of the 6790.

If you don't already have an Nvidia card then you shouldn't be looking at PhysX as the determing factor in choosing a GPU.You hardly see any improvements with a PhysX card unless it's a powerful GPU like the GTX260 but even that yields a small improvement.

I would choose the GTX550ti because it consumes about 40 watts less than the 6790.Their is such a small gain that, to me, the extra money and power isn't worth getting a 6790.

If you don't mind me asking,

What are your full system specs(CPU,RAM,etc.)?

What is the make/model of your PSU?

my specs are
i3 530 2.9ghz
4gb ram
dh55tc motherboard
400 w psu (going to buy a new one , probably a GX550 )
Intel Media Accelerator HD

What make/model is your 400watt PSU?
How many amps are on the +12/v rail(s)?

I just wanted to see if you would bottleneck or not have enough power.I doesn't seem that you will bottleneck but you might need a new PSU.

Its just a generic psu ,I was yhinkingof buying a Coolermaster GX550.I think it is the cheapest and maybe the most reliable psu available in the stores as Corsair and Antec are quite hard to find in my local stores.

Yah despite it being from Coolermaster that's the one series(GX) that they did somewhat good on.All of their other models aren't very good at all.

I would suggest going with the GX550 then.
