Help for getting a gpu in India

[Ameerul]

Good day guys,
I am looking out for getting a new gpu in the range of 5-6k indian rupees for moderate gaming i searched in flipkart and amazon but couldn't get a good deal.
The only good deal I got was for gt730 at 4.8k indian rupees.
I am really desperate for a radeon hd 7750 but couldn't find any deals for it at all.
Doesnt matter if used gpus from ebay too.
I got a 300w psu.

Really would appreciate the help.

for your PSU the best option you can go with is GTX 750 Ti just saying

But gtx750ti would be much over my budget.
If you could find me a good deal ,even a used gpu at 5-6k i could buy it

 

[kwa-e]

The GT 730 GDDR5 (ddr3 is too slow to be any use) is the lowest I could go at around 5K, if you can stretch the budget consider the 250x, but that would need a 6 pin connector to work.

And r7 250 is a lot faster than the 730 and will work too if you can get a good used deal on it, just make sure you get a model without the need for a 6 pin connector if you don't have it in your unit.

6 pin connector?
What does it connect to? PSU?
I couldn't find any good deal on r7 250.
I have got two cards for 5k
Sapphire Radeon HD7730 2gb ddr3
Gt730 1gb gddr5
Which one should i get..?They are almost same price.
thanks for ur help

The AMD one is better but you have to see if your psu is good enough for it

The 6pin is the cable that allows the GPU to take power from your PSU. Those which dont have a 6pin it means that they take power only from the motherboard so they consume very little power

DDR5 memory is way better than DDR3. Get a GT 730,

This is where i get confused.
Half the people say sapphire radeon hd 7730 gives much better gaming performance even though it has ddr3 ram but the other half say gt730 gddr5 is better.
If there is someone who knows a fact on this,please help me out.
Thanks

(OR)
Gainward 1gb gddr5 gt730 at a lesser rate of 4300 indian rupees(Due to a voucher,real price is 4700)

Thanks!

1gb isnt enough

 

[Ameerul]

Why so?
Then should i take the 2gb ddr3 hd7730

 

[Alan Caldwell]

Both have to do with memory bandwidths. The short answer is that GDDR5 results in faster memory bandwidth than DDR3.

So in the following link you can see that the GT 730 clearly wins, and the HD 7730 is so old 😛

So get any GT 730 with DDR5 memory, you can always OC it later 😉

Thanks all and Alan,I ordered gainward gddr5 1gb gt730.
I got msi afterburner(software) to overclock but i don't really know how to overclock properly lol

You won't need to OC it at first itself, but here is a guide,

Well thanks do you really think overclocking it would increase its performance.
Because its not some highend card lol

 

[Alan Caldwell]

Maybe 1-3fps lol.
