Monitor resolution ?
What is this 750w psu ?

Stretch the budget and take a Sapphire 7850 2gb for around 13.5k

what is the make and model of the smps
GTX 650ti is the best you can get for the budget, unless you can get a GTX 560 ti at that price (its old )

even though 560 ti is older it performs better than GTX 650 Ti.

Get the GTX 560 Ti if you can grab one within your budget. GTX 650 Ti comes with a 128 Bit Memory bus resulting lower memory Bandwidth compared to GTX 560 Ti, having 256 bit memory bus. As a result, at 1080P when you use high amount of Anti-Aliasing and Anisotrophic Filtering, GTX 650 Ti gets bottle necked due to low memory bandwidth, resulting good amount of performance drop.

yes im also planning to buy gtx650ti ... i will not overclock it, as i dnt have any knowledge abt overclocking .. :p
and how abt this card--ZOTAC NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 AMP! Edition 2 GB GDDR5 ??.. its also fitting my budget .. and its 2gb also .. some games requires gfx memory above 1 GB .. :/

Buddy, don't get tempted by the size of the Video memory offered by Graphics cards. GTX 650 Ti and GTX 650 are two complete different cards. GTX 650 is nothing but a overclocked GTX 640 and offers performance similar to the HD 7750 whereas GTX 650 Ti offers performance similar to HD 6870 and GTX 560 (non Ti) version. So no matter whether you add 2 GB or 4 GB Video ram to a GTX 650, it can't bit the 650 Ti because it isn't strong enough to use that much of Video Memory.

The performance for most games does not depend on the memory difference of 1gb.
Skyrim is among the exceptions to this.

For most of the games there is no difference at all. In very few games, like Farcry3 for example, extra VRAM will be of help.

not sure if 650Ti is powerful enough to utilize al those 2GB vram and @ OP - thanks for the info.

surely you can choose 2GB 650ti as it only costs 1k more
some games need more vram like gta4 demands 1.5+GB vram @1080p , 100 distance and high texture

so go for it

Get the 2GB one, the extra VRAM will come handy in future titles, especially with the new consoles coming out textures will get more heavy. The 650ti is no slouch it is comparable to the 560 non ti. I feel it will be able to utilize the extra 1GB especially with some overclock. Even with Crysis 3 2GB Cards are recommended. Its only 1k more. If you use the card for 2 years, its like Rs40 a month more.

Just a query to everyone here, wont the OP benefit from an AMD card? Since the new consoles are based on AMD APUs which outperform the Nvidia cards in compute performance, newer games will be utilizing compute. Maybe not this year but next year onwards?

I suggest you look for 2nd hand deals. Look at bazaar section, there's a MSI GTX 570 for 11700 with 2+ years warranty. I don't see a point in buying a new GTX 650 Ti. Spend your money wisely.

I think there is Asus HD7770 2GB for around 10.5k and its newegg link is: ASUS HD7770-2GD5 Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition 2GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card - Newegg.com

and what's the use of all those 2GB vram when HD7770 has only 128 bit memory bus and the gpu itself is not powerful enough to handle 2GB vram .. so if HD7770 then 1GB vram versions are more than enough.
