budget gpu ! Need suggestiöns plz!

only card that can offer somewhat gameplay at your resolution & costing 2.5k is 9500GT or HD4650. but usually HD4650 cost 3k & hard to find. so search for 9500GT 512Mb DDR2 from Zotac, XFX, etc. also avoid 9400GT as its not at all powerful.

yup 9500gt is the only option here
4650 is already vanished from the market
rare to find

hey thanx a lott for your quick reply guyz...What options i have if i raise the money to 3000 rupees

HD 5570 if possible

ok guyz thanx a lot ...im goin to check...though i cant seem to find any online deals at these prices....anyway thanx a lot

msi hd 5450 1gig ddr3-2650 smc international or msi hd 4350 1gig ddr2-2400.
your choice...but ithink hd 5450 would be better!!!!

^^ neither of those are gaming cards. read some review.

i know but those are the only cards that fall under the 2k-2.5k budget!!!!
and still they don't perform that awkwardly for their price.(except 4350).

he increased his budget to 3k. he can at least try get a HD4650 (maybe lynx or tech enclave). a HD4650 is considerably faster & can be considered kind of a gaming card. but HD5450 or HD4350, never never never. i remember reading HD5450 review in Anandtech around 6 month's back where they clearly mentioned gamers should stay away from these cards. just too slow. for these cards, even 256Mb memory looks like a lot.

if you look at Tom's H/W Graphics Card Hierarchy Chart, the HD4350, HD4550 & HD5450 all are in the same bracket & HD4650 & 9500GT stands proudly (literally) a few boxes above them. even a 9400GT is faster than these cards. oh, even Intel's SB graphics beat them.

technology is changing day by day....you cannot compare an old agp with the latest igp.i just mentioned that i took those cards according to the budget.i didn't knew he increased the budget to 3k.
according to the budget i would recommend n210(1gb) or gt220(512mb) versions and they are also well within the budget.

What options i have if i raise the money to 3000 rupees

.
he mentioned it. but under 2.5k, the cards listed by you are the only avl option. but i think 9400GT will do better or maybe won't.

also GT220 is costly. but at 3k, it too can be considered.

hea u havent written about ur proccessor, motherboard and company.Otherwise,u can get branded gpu like zotac and sapphire in ur given budget.

well for a LOw end graphics card i figured that wouldnt matter..besides...i dont plan to play all the big games..some strategy or fifa or racing perhaps..
still heres the info
its Asus p5sd2-vm
processor is the intel DUal core..u know the one before core 2 duo
i really appreciate your comments,..thanx a lot

and can u tell me some online website where u can buy this in india off course and anyone from kerala know any area where u can get these at low prices?

IMO, you have decided right, for a low end you shouldn't think that much if you are not a mid/hard core gamer. Just buy one as suggested above and when you change your status to a hardcore gamer then buy a big one.

i run a 9500gt 512mb on my secondary desktop and it runs crysis on a 19" monitor at low settings, with your budget i dont see a reason why you shouldnt buy it unless you can find a 4650 within your budget

I had a 9400gt 512mb and played games like crysis,burnout paradise,prototype,fear2,etc.And played all the games in 1024*768, so I think it is also a good option in its price band rs2200

@ op try xfx/asus 9500gt 512 ddr2

checked some local places today also asked my friend at banglore too...9500gt im getting prices from 2800-3100 plus...4650 no where to be find...4350 is everywhere lol..also offered 5450 for 2700...goin to do a little more digging

IF you are open to Online shopping the do check anythinginit.com site. On that site XFX HD 4650 512 MB GDDr2 is available within 3k.

^^oh wow
thats a rare piece..honestly

@OP
go for above card

Been busy with work ..will start card hunting again

I just found my PSU is a navtech 450W...does it matter here for this low end CArd..i hope not...that might seriously affect my budget

no. no need of any such expensive PSU but if budget allows & you are able to find FSP 350W or Gigabyte 400W, buy them when your budget allows.

okie friends been away i was able to buy a 4670 HD 1gb ddr3 for 3200...i think its a steal..my question do i still need to update ma psu?...im running on it....havin played any games yet..movies runnin kewll..1080p simply awesome

Thats a great buy but how can you watch 1080p in a 1368 x 768 screen?
The maximum you can get is 720p.
