Graphics Card for 1920*1080

Resolution : 1920*1080

Should RUN games (Full Settings) : COD, NFS , FIFA etc.

Budget : 12K (Can extend, if worth spending more)

Is 6850 or 6870 sufficient OR Should I wait for prices to fall ? ?

HD 7850 2GB @ 15K. <== get this.

How is MSI N560GTX-Ti Twin Frozr II 2GD5/OC compared to 7850 (same price) ?

HD 7850 is faster. Consumes less power. Current generation. Overclocks more - if you care. You get 2 GB of memory by default.

Will there be any price fall in 1-2 months ?

7850 is more or less rightly priced ATM.
Dont bother much about the price downfall in next 2-3 months.
It wont be any thing like drastic!

In india its really hard to predict or even anticipate price drops. US price changes also reflect here but after a while. Currently 7850 has no competition and 560-ti is last gen as pointed by ico and isn't recommended now considering its higher power requirements and relative lower performance.

660-ti and 660 from nvidia are the real competitors of 7870 and 7850 respectively but those cards are a couple of months away or even more. Until these show up in indian soil, i don't think 7850 will undergo any price drop anytime soon.

So 15k is a fair price considering lack of competition so its a no brainer to grab a 7850. Its far more efficient and offers better performance per watt than 560-ti.

Ok...MSI or Sapphire or Gigabyte ?

^^ Get the one which is cheapest and comes factory clocked.

The gigabyte is the fastest considering the clocks, but has some fan related issues. The best would be sapphire dual fan edition, but its not factory overclocked. Though you can always manually overclock it if you have such a nice cooler

Link ?

GV-R785OC-2GD GIGABYTE @ 15.2k

This is the model to get. Has a dual fan design and comes factory clocked. These windforce cards have become a hit recently.

Sapphire 7850 dual fan edition @ 15.6k

Sapphire is a very reliable brand so no question on reliability issues here. Lots of members here are using sapphire gpu's without any problem.

Oh my mistake mate. Yeah md is a very reputed shop in kolkata and they had ventured into online path recently. You can pm our forum member cilus for more info on them.

He had purchased a lot of components from them. From what i have heard from him, md is very good.

^^ thanks for confirming

Going with 7850

Confused between : Gigabyte or Sapphire ??

Sapphire for sure. Get it, overclock it, enjoy it :-D

. Heard that gigabyte one had some noise problems, but I m not sure...

Not available with SMC...

T

Try searching local market and few more online shops like Theitdepot - India's First IT Online Shopping Store and hardwire.in

In Gigabyte card...there is noise problem with fans..
Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GV-R785OC-2GD Radeon HD 7850 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card

There is solution as well
1) The vibration comes from a flimsy piece of plastic under the fan closest to the video ports. If you loosen the three screws that hold that fan in, lift up the fan and push on the plastic, you will feel how loose and flimsy it is and that it doesn't quite touch the aluminum tightly enough. If you shim a piece of electrical tape that's been doubled a few times under this piece of plastic, the vibration ceases!

2) *www.gigabyte.com/support-downloads/faq-page.aspx?fid=1876&pid=4155

I never bought anything from stores other than SMC...But they don't have Sapphire 7850 (as per their site)...Should I go with Gigabyte or ask them to arrange Sapphire 7850 ?

There won't be any 660ti like the existing 560ti.
670ti would release in Q3,2012. :wink:

Sapphire HD 7850 2GB Dual Fan - Hardwire.in

Sapphire : 16,500 (hardwire)
Gigabyte : 15,200 (smc)

Worth paying extra 1300 ?

SAPPHIRE HD7850 2GB GDDR5

For 15,600 (mdcomputers)

@ bajaj151 - build quality of Sapphire HD7850 looks solid.

how about
HIS HD 7850 2GB GDDR5 H785F2G2M 256-bit HD7850 Radeon PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Graphic Card

S

^^ Sapphire one has a really great cooler whereas the cooler on the HIS is not that great. In our Indian weather conditions it's always wise to get the coolest card you can, whether you wanna OC or not. And of course for OCing a good cooler is required thus the Sapphire is the obvious choice. Even I'm getting one personally today or tomorrow

HIS ICeQ models are all good,though I'm yet to see their other IceQ HD7850 model here in India.

@bajaj151: get the Sapphire or else get MSI if they have one

From where ? At what price ?

MSI 7850 not available (not listed in MSI site)

Give some proof to justify your claim. Afaik, it will be 660-ti as 670-ti sounds like an upper version of 670 which isn't possible.

Gk106 will feature 660-ti and 660.

For Sapphire 7850 OC....Corsair VX 550W sufficient ?

Yes but don't oc your cpu too much. But if you have lot of hdds, i think you should upgrade your psu later!

here you go :

*www.msi.com/product/vga/#?fp=Radeon HD 7000 Series&sk=Radeon HD 7850

if possible get the Power Edition ;-)

+1 for sapphire HD7850. bought it 10days back from hardwire.in
very silent and runs very cool(just 5c above ambient on idle and around 45~50c on load)
get it from hardwire.in or mdcomputers. itdepot doesnt stock new or high end graphic cards that quickly and they sell at premium rates.

^^ At what price ? OC or Non OC ?

T

There is a price difference of 0.5k between OC and non OC versions of Sapphire 7850. Both come with same cooler, so i'd say buy the non OC one and OC it when you need. Though you won't need to OC right now.

I

@bajaj151
I just got my Sapphire 7850 @ 15k from mdcomputers (Shipped it to ahmedabad), they have good service and are reliable AFAIK.
The card is very silent and stays cool while gaming.
If you are lucky you can easily OC it to around 1GHz on stock cooler(You can can go to upto 1200MHz with custom cooler = 7950 but its not guaranteed)
Its definitely has the best VFM at the moment.

Sapphire hd 7850 can be OCed upto 1050 mhz and its memory clock upto 1250 mhz. Its voltages are locked so further OCing isn't possible. BTW, OP won't need to OC right now even for 1080p res.

15k is very good price..They quoted 16,640 on their site...*mdcomputers.in/index.php?route=product/product&path=74_86&product_id=836

^^ here's a link where Sapphire HD7850 still selling at 15.7k :

SAPPHIRE HD7850 2GB GDDR5 - TechXtreme.in

can't say how reliable that site is as I have not saw anyone dealing with them but the website layout and pricing and other infos looks good on there though.

Yes it is possible to unlock the voltages using ASUS GPU tool, check it out here
But as I mentioned earlier its not guaranteed, So don't keep your hopes up.

Sorry mate, they increased there prices yesterday.
You can read about it here.

Guys Might be offtopic but if OP is not going to OC the GFX like most people do then isnt a Factory OCed 560Ti @13k odd is better VFM than 15.4k HD 7850 Stock?

IMO the 7850 will still be better than even OCed GTX 560 Ti,
So if OP can afford it then he should go for it.

Let OP choose from
MSI GTX 560 Ti TwinFrozr III @ 13k
HD 7850 @ 16k

Bought Sapphire 7850 OC

Thanks for the help

I

Congrats man :doublethumb:

btw where did you buy it from?

^^
Thanks bro..

Bought from SMC..

How did you got that? They have not listed the card on their site!

^^ this is common with many e-commerce websites here - they generally don't frequently update their website - that's why you have to call / mail them before placing an order or for inquiring about a particular product and it's availability even if it's not listed on the website.

@ bajaj151 - congrats on your purchase ... time for some pics and benches ( OCed ) if possible ;-)
