i was planing to buy a low budget graphics card and my
budget is 4 k max 4.5 k .
i browsed the graphics cards on flipcart and i found 3 cards , which i
think are quite good .

1) ZOTAC NVIDIA GeForce GT 630 Synergy Edition 2 GB DDR3
2) Sapphire AMD/ATI Radeon HD 6570 1 GB DDR3
3) PowerColor AMD/ATI Radeon HD5670 1 GB DDR3

2 of the 3 cards needs power cable , i don't think my mother board (DH55PJ) has
that cable , because i have opened the cabinet lots of time and didn't
find it , and if the cabel comes with the card , where do i insert them on my board

The comments on flipcart for the PowerColor card are quite good than other
2 cards , but still i want you to suggest me.

My PC Specs : Intel core i3 @2.93 GHz , Motherboard model : intel DH55PJ , windows 7 64 Bit , 4gb Ram and
500 GB HDD . - Thank you , im waiting for your reply to my last email
also .

the power cable comes from the PSU not from the motherboard..
Out of these three, GT 630 is better but try to get a DDR5 version of it..

^ no hd 6570 is better and faster than gt 630.630 is somewhat equal to hd 5570

5670 is faster than hd 6570 but powercolor brand is not so good

that 3gpus donot need any powercable,they take power from pci exp slot itself

@OP
Check local shops for prices first. Flipkart tends to be on the higher side for computer components.
Also, SMC international is selling a Gigabyte 2GB DDR3 6670 (which is far better than these cards) for 4.4k. Since 2GB doesn't make sense, try to find a 1GB GDDR5 version of the card.

There was no problem in installing my GPU (5670) in my mobo(DH55TC). I just inserted it in the slot, thats it....

In his budget, this should be OP's best choice GIGABYTE GV-R667D3-2GI Garphic Card
Better performance than the ones listed by OP and still in his budget.

The Sapphire card suggested by Cilus is a much much better card with DDR 5 memory clocked 5000mhz over the cheap outdated run of the mill Gigabyte with DDR3 memory clocked at a laughable low 1600Mhz.

the service center do no offer service for gfx cards so you better not suggest this.

Saw your signature after posting it. But the recommendation is just a 6670. OP should be able to find one from a better brand online or locally for the same price.

No not for my siggy .. that's another case - Forum member saswat23 had a conversation with them and he posted the pic and recently one of member contacted their service center regarding the service of gfx card and got negative answer .. so OP have to get it from some other brands like sapphire,His, Asus etc.
