Do you have the GS800 PSu ? If yes opt for GTX 560 - this is the best gfx card you can get at 10k.

i dont have Gs800 psu but i will get it. but at 10k GTX 560 is not available in my colony or in raipur. my friend has GTX 560ti it is a very good card but it has many problems like black screen problem my friend has faced many problems. he has changed 4 to 5 times his card all of them are faulty but at last he has got GTX 560ti Gone edition which is really good

but i am thinking about GTX 550 ti which is available at 8.5k.

That is a really poor choice :\ 550ti is a lame card. too much power consumption for the performance it offers.

For that PSU GTX550ti is Justified.
It would never prove disastrous.

Dont go for 550 ti.
Instead pick up radeon 6850 at 8.5k.
It performs much better than 550 ti.
Physx is not worth it especially with the kind of performance hit it has on gameplay and that too with a card like 550ti.

Pick up radeon 6850 for better gameplay.

If you can expand your budget then go for 560ti or else get the 6850.

Bad choice.
Even HD6850 @~8.5K is way better than 550ti.
Although if you can get GTX560 @10K, go for it.

turn Physx on these sub-560 GPU and game. you'll get Physics. nothing else. no framerates.

should be available but surely not at this price.

PhysX is a Gimmick.

if you have a powerful GPU, a game that really uses Physx (not just shows Physx logo on startup) like Mafia II then its fun. Else yes its a Gimmick for most. And they learn soon after they buy their favorite Nvidia GPU.

Then it also means that its not a gimmick, games just don't make use of it.. But when they do, they do.. :)

usually investment is not worth it. as very very few games actually show some physics other than ragedoll physics we usually see in games where bodies get tossed up here and there.

HD 6850 or Palit GTX 460 V2. If you can buy online, go for MSI or Sparkle GTX 560 since these two brands have lesser reports of black screen for 560/560 Ti cards.

Yup.. What is the point of getting an expensive GPU when Games don't use it..

Conclution- AMD Rocks..

there are many games like batman, lostplanet,mafia2 etc they all uses physics and without physics the game looks dull and boring

you may also look into the GS500W or GS600W. GS800W is more than what your config (or the updated rig) needs.
