HD 6870 runs in this PSU

It will run.

i think it will run allright
your max/peak power requirement maybe around 310w which is perfectly safe levels,
considering your PSU supports 450+ with a solid 12v -33amp rail
you're safe
no worries at all

no problems at all
it will run HD6850/HD6870/HD6950/GTX460/GTX560 without any hiccups
buy it blindly

How much is that costing you?

You can get a Zotac GTX560 Ti for 14.3k

Thanks for your all replies, I deceided to go for HD 6870 budget is around 15k

still not enquired abt the price

I needd to make sure that my PSU will support this card or not. It helps me to choose the card easily.

Ishu's suggestion was spot-on. 560Ti is better than the 6870 you decided to go for.

Have you ordered already??

HD 6870 is around 13.5k

GTX 560 Ti is around 14.5k and is better than 6870.

As its in your budget go for it.

@ishu
6870 @ 13.5k?
from where?
taxes included?

even the 1GB version of 6950 comes under 15K. Either this or 560Ti at this budget.

Is it cheaper?

HD6870
Sapphire Toxic is 13.5k
Sapphire VaporX is 13k
Sapphire stock is 12.5k

GTX560 Ti
Zotac stock is 14.3k
Zotac AMP is 16k

whoa
i thought 6870 is 14k and above
and its OC version is at 15k

i've been sleeping all these days
thanks for giving the details

Sapphire HD6950 is 14.5K

Yeah.
OP can't go wrong with either. Toss of a coin really.

Exactly. Boils down to personal preference.

I think HD 6870 is the better option here as the performance difference between a GTX 560 and HD 6870 in stock speed is hardly 10% in the best cases and 6% on average. So the Price difference between a factory Oced Saphire HD 6870 Toxic @ 13.5K and a stock GTX 560 @ 15.5K is not justifiable.

HD 6870 is also a very good overclocker like GTX 560. I'm getting 42 FPS @ 3.3 GHZ CPU speed and 950 MHz Core Clock and 1100 MHz memory clock setting in my stock HD 6870 @ Crysis 2 at Full HD (1920X1080) resolution in Hardcore setting at DirectX 10 mode.

Stock 560 is only 14.3k.

MSI Twin Forzer II is 15.5k.

Yes. and the Twin Frozr II version is factory oc'd as well. Performs as good as a 570 (which is at 20k BTW).

^^ yup twin frozr II all the way.

God, I am sure the OP's head will be spinning now

^^ya you right

YesSSsssss My head is spinning

I like to go for HD 6870

so only nned to deceided to go for stock/Toxic

I will update u soon abt my purchase

^^ Go for the stock 6870 as its cheaper. Toxic's price isn't justifiable because you are entering 6950 and gtx 560/oc pricing territory.

Go for the stock 6870. But if you are really willing to spend 15K then 6950 1gb/560 Ti are definitely better options.

manoprabhu look for 6870 with an aftermarket cooler. you will be tension free when you oc.

^^agree

Let me Summarize our discussion:

IF (you want the best value for money and your budget <= 13K) Then
'very good performance @ 1080P, can be overclocked to higher
'Degree even with the Stock Cooler
Graphics card = Sapphire HD 6870 @ 12.6K
Elseif (Budget <= 15K) AndAlso (Not in very much Overclocking) Then
'Performs slightly better than GTX 560 in Stock speed
Graphics Card = Sapphire HD 6950 1 GB @ 14,5K
Elseif (Budget => 15K and Budget <=16K) And (Overclocking = True)
'When Oced performance increases dramatically.
Graphics Card = MSI Twin Frozr II @15.5k
Elseif (MaxMudget < = 14K )
'factory Overclocked and more room for Overclocking
'Very silent and efficient Cooler
Graphics Card = Sapphire HD 6870 Vapor X @ 13.5K
End if

lol

Nicely summed up Cilus. And yes, OP should stay away from Toxic.

Practically VaporX=(Toxic-OC). So it should be one of these four.

@ cilus

Buddy i think you mixed up the comments about 6870 and 6950. You were trying to say overclocking the 6870 increases performance dramatically right?

yup its that way

I think he was talking about the GTX560.

^^ Nope , piyush got it right. I was talking about the overclocking potential of a 6870 vs 6950. Vliw5 architecture responds better to higher clock increments. Cilus wanted to say that.
