Need GPU under 15000INR

[ajaat]

hi,
I need a perfect gaming GPU under 15000INR.I play on 1680*1050 resolution.

 

[GreenDutchAlien]

How muzz dollar is that ?

 

[sayantan]

ASUS Direct CUII 6950 2GB.Can handle anything at that resolution with everything maxed out.

 

[GreenDutchAlien]

Yeah, except when he has a P4.
What are your system specs ?

 

[ajaat]

I'm building a new build.I'm thinking of amd phenom ii x4 955 BE and planning on crossfire(not now) and thought of PSU like 850Watts

 

[sayantan]

Phenom II x4 955 would be a bad idea especially if you are considering to CF.I would suggest you to go sandy bridge cpus.

 

[hellfire24]

you will not face any bootleneck.just overclock it to about 4~4.5 ghz.a 6950 is the best option for you IMO>>>

 

[ajaat]

silly question(I'm a noob):how to overclock?
and how much does a sandy bridge cpu cost?

 

[sayantan]

you will not face any bootleneck.just overclock it to about 4~4.5 ghz.a 6950 is the best option for you IMO>>>

You can't overclock 955 to 4GHz+ on air.Its simply too unstable.Also OCing won't help if he's CFing.

 

[sayantan]

silly question(I'm a noob):I don't how to overclock
and how much does a sandy bridge cpu cost?

That depends on your system:

Motherbord:H67 based would cost around Rs5000-6000k
P67/Z68 based starting from Rs10k and above.

CPU:if you chose H67 bsed chipset,then you should go for i5 2400(NO OVERCLOCKING),price around RS 9k
if you choose P67/Z68 ,go for i5 2500K/i7 2600k.(EXTREME OCing),Price around Rs10K.

Also OCing won't help if he's CFing.

Why wouldn't overclocking help if he is crossfires?

@OP: Sandy Bridge is definitely the way to go if you can afford it. I would recommend the i5-2500k. It is very easy to overclock and with decent cooling should reach 4.5ghz without much of a problem. Here is a comparison with the 955;

The above ignores overclocking so the difference is actually significantly greater if you were to do so.

 

[ajaat]

does it's a futureproof GPU,if it is then at what time I have to upgrade my GPU

 

[jyjjy]

At 1680x1050 a single HD6950 should be very good for several years.

 

[sayantan]

Why wouldn't overclocking help if he is crossfires?

I mean even the oced 955 would cause bottleneck if he crossfires two 6950.

 

[ajaat]

I can't afford that sandy bridge CPU

 

[GreenDutchAlien]

@ Sayantan;The advice was not oc the cpu and cfx 6950. It was oc the cpu and there's no bottleneck with a 6950.

 

[jyjjy]

I mean even the oced 955 would cause bottleneck if he crossfires two 6950.

I think almost anything would bottleneck crossfired HD6950s at 1680x1050 in a lot of games.

 

[ajaat]

thanks alot!!!,I don't it's futureproofing that's why I'm CFing.Now I'm not......thanks

 

[sayantan]

You can go for i3 2120(around rs 600) and later upgrade to ivy bridge.

 

[ajaat]

what's it's exactly cost?and what power supply do I need?

 

[sayantan]

I think almost anything would bottleneck crossfired HD6950s at 1680x1050 in a lot of games.

Yes true but an oced 2500k would be certainly less bottle necking than an oced 955.That's all I meant.Nothing else.

 

[sayantan]

what's it's exactly cost?and what power supply do I need?

i3 2320 @ Rs6500
Intel DH67 LGA1155 @ Rs5500+VAT/ASUS P8P67 @10K
RAM:4GB 1333MHz@Rs1500/4GB 1600Mhz@Rs1800
PSU:XFX core edition 550W @Rs 3500

 

[ajaat]

no,the exact price GC and does that amd phenom still bottleneck in single 6950

 

[jyjjy]

An overclocked 955 is fine for a single HD6950.

 

[sayantan]

no,the exact price GC and does that amd phenom still bottleneck in single 6950

ASUS DirectCuII 6950 2GB @Rs14000 +VAT
No,it wont if you overclock.Also get good memory like Corsir vengeance/Gskill sniper etc.
