2500k+ dh67cl :facepalm:

Get MSI GTX 560 for 10.5k. It is capable of running games at full hd 1080p.

see this once-

*tpucdn.com/reviews/AMD/HD_7770/images/perfrel_1920.gif

Although the 7770 is slower but consumes a lot lesser amount of power.
Probably the card to get- Sapphire AMD/ATI HD 7770 1 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card | Graphics Card | Flipkart.com

Get the msi gtx 560 for 10.3k as suggested by the conqueror. It is better than any card available at this price range. Its almost 10% faster than the 7770. If overclocked it can perform as gud as a stock 560ti.

I know , I know :oops: but OC was not my priority then and didn want a P series board as wanted to use the IGP of 2500k for the time being as I did n have a budget of good GPU then which i now I have .

Looks like GTX 560 is the best option

One thing the ti version(MSI GTX 560TI hawk) is available for 14,200 and the non ti asus one is 10,000 is it worthy to spend the extra 4k for the ti version , coz in one review I saw GTX 560 non ti is basically OC ed 460 , is it true ?

If you are willing to spend 4k more then don't get 560ti, get HD 7850. 560ti is older gen card, consumes more power and performs lesser than HD 7850. In 10k budget, gtx 560 is the best buy. It isn't an OCed gtx460. It is better than hd 6850 and equal to HD 6870. In 14k-16k price range, nothing beats HD 7850.

The 560ti is the bigger brother of the 560. But if you are willing to spend 4k more, better spend it on the 7850. Its better than 560ti in every aspect.

I have decided not to increase my budget beyond 10k , so
MSI N560GTX-M2D1GD5 GeForce GTX 560 (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card should this be my final choice??
and I have few more questions :
1) is this price ok , can anyone tell me about the price of this one here in Kolkata ( chandni Market )
2) is this one better than HD6850 and HD7770 in all possible aspect ??
ie its the best possible option available at this point of time at 10k rt ?
3) Are there any driver issues with this card ? I am using Windows 7 ultimate 32 bit.
4)My monitor is quite old 17"LCD with 1600 X 1200 resolution ( Not being able to change it right away for budget constraints , but I will in few months ) so for the time being is it ok to use it with this GPU.

I know am bombarding u guys with loads of q's but this GPU is really a big investment for me , so really want to be assured , hope u wont mind .

:eek:

That's 10.3k. Its a good one for the price. But its not a good choice when you are getting a Dual fan version of the same for 10k.
Either get the Dual Fan version of MSI GTX-560 for 10k from ITwares, else get Asus GTX-560 for 10k.2k as you have mentioned above.

Forsa ain't a new player in Gfx card business and the company established on 1998 - I've seen Forsa Riva TNT2, MX400 and FX5500 etc. agp gfx card a long time back - good old days of AGP ;-)

12K for a GTX 560 Ti is a good deal. But , I wont Trust Ebay. But IF you can and only IF you can spend a 3K more , get a HD 7850 . That will be way worth its price.

There's little misleading info on erodov page : Zotac offers 2 years standard warranty on gpu products and 3 years more if registered within 14 days of purchase and there's two more rules :

1. customer seeking warranty service must be the first owner of the product
2. Original receipt is required for extended warranty service

He's a dealer selling Brand new cards and gives Original receipt based on the date you purchase the card from him.
So you are actually getting a Brand new card and the receipt for registering ur GPU with ZOtac !!!

DISCLAIMER : (just in case)
I ain't affiliated to the Seller,infact i declined his offer for my Asus card. I was only pointing people to check for better offers available.

@OP - Congratulations on your purchase, Enjoy !!! :D

Thnxx , but one thing how can an april purchased , sealed opened (acc to the pictures ) card be brand new ? and how can he provide me a vat bill for the same april purchased card in the date of my purchase :0

Well Yes....The seal is opened and the details on Time of purchase is basically the month he post his sale ;) IF you only prefer a BOXED GPU then don't bother.

and how can he provide me a vat bill for the same april purchased card in the date of my purchase :0
He posted Blank bill in his other sale thread....remember he's a Trusted Dealer on [E] forum and he sold a lot of products over there. :)


Got it ? !!!

No sweat ;-) I was only pointing to the infos provided on the forum page compared to the Zotac's website and if you get a vat paid bill from the day of your purchase ( not on the purchase date of the seller of TE ) you still need to register within 14 days - it's Zotac's warranty policy for our country.

Now like OP even I can't seem to understand why a trusted dealer had to open the box seal and then sell the gfx cards - if he is selling lots of products he can do it without opening the boxes - may be he is doing it to test the physical condition of the gfx cards but still it's not acceptable IMO.

No other cards are giving 5 years warranty at this moment , so its great in that sense , so far have not faced any trouble , played BF3 in ultra and got around 75fps , with the temp around 62-65 C as I mentioned above.
