GPU Survey 2010-2011

Another nice thread Jassy.
I can only say that:
* Best Price/Performance Entry Level GPU (Sub 5000INR) - Radeon 5670 1GB

^Agree.
Best Price/Performance Mid-Range GPU (5000-15000INR) - HD6950 1GB

AFAIK 6950 2GB is available for 16k-16.5k.

I'd say-
MSI HD6950 2GB Twin Frozr II

thanks guys

others?

and try and fill the first two options particularly.

Since, I am a no-bie in GPU's, I would consider myself a little knowledgeable when I could understand all the terms Jaskanwar Singh have out on the first post!

Sorry, couldn't fill the form. But would appreciate a link, where I can understand such terms. Cause I really want to.

Best Custom Cooler - ASUS Direct CU II (although on high-end cards it takes up 3 slots). Regarding best price/performance card, I think 5k-15k is a big range covering quite a few VFM cards, like 5770, 6850, 6950 1gb, 560Ti, 460 etc. which are all handy at various resolutions. Instead you can make the price/performance list based on resolution, say:-

1. Best card to play at 1280*1024/1366*768 at high settings
2. Best card to play at 1600*1200/1680*1050/1600*900 at high settings
3. Best card to play at 1080p at high settings
4. Best card to play at 2560*1600 at high settings

What say?

skud i have made 2 sections now - 5-10 and 10-15.
and you know at 1080p all cards starting from 6850 can play at high settings, give playable rates of 30+. (except metro exceptions in 6870 and 6850).

That's true. But my point was that users are mostly limited by their monitor size, so that would be good point to start. Anyway beyond 20k is not very VFM these days unless you have a 30" monitor.
