GPU for under 12k. · DIGIT-ARC

I am looking for a good GPU for under 12k.

My PC Config:
* Intel i5-2400
* Asus P8H77-M Pro
* FSP APN 700W PSU
* DELL IN2020M HD LED (@ 1600 x 900)

I have shortlisted GTX-650Ti Boost, but cant decide whether to go for 1GB or 2GB model. Is the 2GB model worth it?
I will be buying the card from Gainward as its pricing is way better than other brands.

Here is the Pricing I got for Gainward:

So, which one provides better VFM? Is the 2GB version really worth spending Rs.1200 extra?

yeah. get 2gb version. it is worth as games started to use more VRAM. who provides service for gainward?

Buddy stick with Asus or zotac as they have better after sale support.

what is your resolution ?

i don't think 650ti boost will able to utilize 2gb vram

are you sure 650ti for rs 8300?

Get 1gb of gtx 650ti boost with eyes closed

but i would go with asus or zotac variant

Asus and Zotac would cost ~2k more (for 1GB) IMO.

my 7770's 1gb vram was fully utilized when i played COD black ops two

And yes, the 1GB variant is the Golden Sample edition and hence has Dual Fans but the 2GB variant is the normal edition and hence has only single fan (The 2GB GS edition is not available here).

Buddy I never heard about Gainward better go with reputed brands that do well in the market like Zotac, Asus. I personally prefer Zotac or Asus. Both of them give not more than 3 years of warranty.

Zotac have 5 year warranty

Yup, I know Zotac has 5 years warranty but Zotac is not available here and its 13.3k @ flipkart, completely out of my budget. I am strictly looking for a card under 12k.

then go with gainward one

Yup, that's my last option. Enquired for Palit GTX-650Ti Boost 2GB with Abacus Peripherals. I got a quote of 16k :shock:

But I want to know the actuall difference between the 1GB and 2GB card. Will the 2GB card be of any use? I mean is it worth spending 1.2k more?

Normally any game will require VRAM not more than 2GB and anything more than that is necessary for Multi-Monitor displays only.

So, should I go for the 1GB or the 2GB one?

my suggestion would be to get 2gb one

go with 2gb one

Just get Zotac GTX650Ti 2GB Boost @ 12500 locally.

That's the problem. Most brands are not available here. Only brands available here are: Asus, PowerColor, Gainward and some models of XFX.
Though service for most brands is available here.

Guys any idea who is the distributor of ZOTAC?

What is the price of Gainward GTX 650 Ti Boost 2GB from Gainward?

rs 12200
op has given it in his first post itself

Just asked Aditya IT regarding Zotac GTX-650Ti Boost. They say it will take around 2 months for new stock to be available. Called MD Computers and they say the same too. Asus is available for 13.7k both here in BBSR and MD Computers.
Also enquired regarding MSI, got a call from SMC International and they quote 13.7k too.
So, no option left other than Gainward. Even MD quoted 12.2k for Gainward GTX-650Ti Boost 2GB.

12.2k, all prices are mentioned in the very first post.

Why cannot you get it here in Secunderabad. Just go to PL Computers or Arun Computers or Swetha Computers.All of them offer good prices.

Buddy, I am in BBSR, Odisha and you are in Hyd. Its not possible for get it from there?
And what is the pricing?

Bro if you have a budget of 12k then it will be better if you go for r7-260X for 11.5k

SAPPHIRE GRAPHICS CARD R7 260X 2GB DDR5 OC (R7 260X 2GB DDR5 OC - 11222-00-41G - 840777063934 - 12,380.95)

AFAIK GTX-650Ti Boost performs better than R7-260X.
Isn't it?

saswat23 said:

yes ti boost is faster

Here is the pricing of all the brands I enquired (For GTX-650Ti Boost 2GB):
1. Gainward: 12.2k
2. Asus: 13.6k
3. Palit: 15.5k
4. MSI: 14k
6. Zotac: 13.3K (only @ flipkart, Stock is not availabe in India now)

I am actually looking for Zotac, it was availabe at flipkart earlier at a much better price, almost ~12.3k. Both MD Computers and Aditya Infotech say stock for Zotac is not available now and fresh stock might take a week or two to come here. So, I am thinking of waiting for the time being, else Gainward is my last option.

And guys if you find any good deal in the meanwhile, please post it here and let me know.

ASUS GRAPHICS CARD GTX 650 TI 2GB DDR5 BOOST OC (GTX650TIB-DC2OC-2GD5, - GTX650TIB-DC2OC-2GD5, - - 16,189.50)

@12.8k

That card will be a bit longer and will not fit in my cabinet. It is 21.5 CM long. And also it will come to ~13k with shipping.

Actally I could hardly fit my earlier Gigabyte HD 7770 which was 21cm long. And this is 21.5 cm, it probably wont fit.

Nope.

From where do I get the warranty for the first 2 years? Zotac says the first 2 yr warranty will be provided by the seller/dealer and the rest 3 by Zotac.
So, how will I get the warranty from flipkart for the first two years?

After getting gpu register at zotac site for extra 3 year warranty.

Warranty Manager: ZOTAC - It's time to play!

I know that, but accoding to their warranty policy the first 2 years warranty will be provided by the seller. What about it? Or the complete 5 yrs will be provided by Zotac?
