my budget s within 400 dollars. and i ll be buying from USA
it s around 350 dollars
but flipkart offers 40k

but main thing s my necessity. pl look into that guys.. with quadrofx 512 mb i was doing very smooth animation and till assassins creed brotherhood it supported well.

^^ you wont get any warranty in india. Can you still take the risk? if no, get amd r9 280x as it is essentially an hd 7970 but with less cost.

i prefer not extreme cards . i don wanna waste power since i ll be satisfied playing game not at high detail,
less power consumption and heat always a concern..

wats the difference between R9 290 and R9 290x ? wat s this x? overclocking?
also am not gonna overclock the Gpu..

290 /290x is a very power hungry card for its performance. how much resolution your monitor has?

This is enough for you but if you can spend another 3.5k then you can go for R9 280X for 23.5k

if you dont upgrade your monitor later (to full hd or so), get gtx 650 ti boost. In this way you can save electricity.If you upgrade later, ge tsomething better like 760 or 280x

270X is overkill for 1280x720. Even 650ti can max games at that resolution.

Zotac GTX650Ti Boost 2GB @ 12000 is best for your resolution.
