7790 it is, provided it is available :)


Grab it. The only thing which lowers the price IMO is the small 1GB memory :(

is it worth forgoing Physx?(i really want to play Bor2,B:AC,P2 with Physx turned on)

one more thing,is TresssFX AMD exclusive?

PhysX has been opened for development and is being modified to make it efficient on CPU. Games in future may utilize the optimized PhysX.

PhysX is a gimmick lol..
Even when I had my previous nvidia card, i used to turn it off because it was too distracting..
Only thing nvidia has in it's favour is Txaa but it isnt really much of a difference though

7790 is slightly faster than 650-ti and is the card to buy between the two.
But nvidia has launched another 650-ti boost that is priced similarly with 7790.

Its has more no. of Rops than regular 650-ti ( 24 in the boost as opposed to 16 in normal) and comes with a 192 bit bus.
Comes in both 1gb and 2gb flavors.

In performance, its 30% faster than 7790 and 5% faster than 7850. Wait a bit long and it will launch here at 11-12k.

Check tomshardware recommended list:

Best PCIe Card : $110 To $180 : April 2013

both 7790 and 7850 aren't recommended at their pricepoints anymore.

TressFx isn't exclusive to amd. Its a dx11 based method that uses direct-compute.

The only problem is that GTX 650 Ti Boost isn't available in India.

I believe every 7790 comes with a copy of Bioshock:Infinite

Never Settle Gaming Bundle is available in India but most of the shop keepers are not providing it as most of the people aren't aware of it. While making your purchase, ask specifically for the game bundle.
