@All
Thinking about settling on Power Color 6670DDR3 2Gig
Comments?

 

[ASHISH65]

Ok means you are going to play on that crt so get sapphire hd 6670 ddr5 at 5.6k at flipkart.you will able to max every game at that res.in future get lcd or led to enjoy more gaming.

 

[busymaverick]

hmm. that is also a nice option. how about the PowerColor 6670DDR3 2Gig?

Am not getting an LCD as i do not want to put pressure on the Graphics Card.
and also that the CRT is running fine(awesome,actually!!).

 

[ASHISH65]

No no donot get 2gb ddr3.no use of getting more than 1gb.ddr5 is much faster than ddr3.get hd 6670 ddr5 at 5.6k.gpu doesnot pressure lcd it depends on res.get ddr5 1gb

Might I suggest a GeForce GT 440 1G GDDR5? Reviews here in Tom's say that the GT 440 is one of the best sub-$100 cards out there. I'm currently using this card with a 1028x768 LCD monitor and I can contently play most games at 30+ fps at high to tweaked high settings.

 

[busymaverick]

kk. Will get the Sapphire 6670 then

Ashis, it's 440.

 

[ASHISH65]

There is no need to compare there is no card from nvida and amd that can beat hd 6670 ddr5 under 6k.
