if you add 3k more(manage) you get get an HD 7850. It will be epic win.

Otherwise try looking for a gtx 560ti or hd6870

se here -- > Zotac GTX 560 TI 448 or GIGABYTE HD7850 - Hardware Canucks

there is not much diffrence in performance but pricewise 560ti is 3k cheaper !!

Yes because that 560ti is 448 core one. it is extremely rare to find these days. The normal 560ti doesn't stand up to the hd 7850. Also the 560ti consumes way way too much power and the 7850 consumes a lot less.

7850>>560ti

Piyush that 560Ti is the 448 CUDA core version, which was limited edition and cannot be found now. Moreover it was priced around 16k so a bad choice overall.

OP, stick to HD7850, don't look anywhere else. Find the Gigabyte Windforce OC Version for 15.5K or the Sapphire Dual Fan version for around 16.5K.

either Op should get this :
Zotac NVIDIA Geforce GTX 560 Ti 1 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card | Graphics Card | Flipkart.com
by paying 1.7k more or get HD7850 by paying 3.5k extra.

Don't expect it go down in near future. Its selling like hot cakes as it is and there is no nVidia Rival in its price range to force it down.

btw if gaming upto HD resolution HD7850 Stock is not exactly WAY Better than Stock 560 Ti. In some games 560Ti even out performs HD7850.

Major + for HD7850 is Power saving & OC Head Room.
Major + for 560 Ti is Quieter under Load + 3k Cheap.

@ HD resolution under any game I don't think there will be a noticeable performance difference between the two.

take hd7850.....more future proof
Gap between 560ti and 7850 would be widened by 12.7catalyst drivers.

Whats the point in getting HD 6870 for 12.5k when you can get GTX-560 with same performance at 10.5k. So, either get HD 7850 elsse GTX-560. If you cant spend more then around 13.5k GTX-560Ti is a also a very good option.

you better save up for HD7850 PE - costs around ~17k - the main drawback of Sapphire/Gugabyte HD7850 they can't be OCed over 1050 Mhz but HD7850 PE can be OCed around ~1.2 Ghz which makes it neck to neck with HD7870 ;-)

ATI 6870 will be within your budget, but i guess you better add a few more thousands and go with latest stuff like 7850 which is a better VFM.
