The best card around 250$ is Ati radeon 5850.

What is your current configuration?
My understanding is the CPU is much more important than the GPU in a rendering box.
Depending on your current configuration, your cash may be better spent on a less expensive GPU and a faster CPU.

The best card around 250$ is Ati radeon 5850.

The 4890 1GB or a GTX275 896MB are a close second in the $200-$250 price range.

For 259$

9$ is negligible when you are talking about 250$.

Dude, upgrade that CPU! Get at least athlon x4 620 which retails for around Rs. 5500 in india.

ATI 5850 will cost you Rs. 17500, while ATI 4890 and GTX 275 retails for around Rs. 13000.

i want to buy under Rs. 10000

 

[itisravi]

Wait for sometime. Newer generation ATI cards would be available shortly. Price should be like this-

ATI 5770 1GB - 11000
ATI 5750 1GB - 8900
ATI 5750 512MB - 7500

You can choose according to your budget.

 

[shubham1401]

Under Rs10000 you have Ati Radeon HD 4890 which is also DDR5.
Try finding one in Nehru Place.

itisravi said right...Your CPU is not upto the mark for that card.

What is your current GPU?

As I stated before, the CPU is much more important on a render box than the GPU.
You really should focus on upgrading your woefully inadequate CPU first.
Post what motherboard you have and we can see what CPU upgrades are viable.

Yes, GDDR5 GPU's have been available in the wild for more than a year now.
ATI's 4870, 4870x2, 4890, 5850 and 5870 all utilise GDDR5 as do nVidia's GT 240, GTS 250m and GTS 260m.
