.
My max budget is 15.5K

please help me people

6950.

i was in the exact same confusion a few weeks back for my friend (except that the 6950 was a sapphire 2gb reference card). ended buying the 6950 after a lot of discussions. no regrets

HD 6950 2GB.

Or wait for HD 7850 2GB.

6950 2gb.

Better wait for the HD 7850. If you can wait a bit longer, see what the Kepler has to offer in that range.

Then the wait is not going to be over quickly.

Where are you getting a 6950 TF3 at 13.5k? Is it the 1gb model?

wait for HD7850 or kepler.
even 6950 is ok but still atleast wait for 7850.

million dollar question!

PLEASE CAN ANY ONE TELL ME WHEN ARE THOSE 7000 SERIES CARDS RELEASING.
AND the msi 6950 is actually available at 15000 :razz:

He told 15.5k right? 13.5k is for the Zotac Amp I guess.

If for 3D modeling/viewing, then 560ti, otherwise 6950.

@Rigod: He has corrected now. I should have quoted.

@OP: If you don't want to wait, get the 6950. It is a very good card for its price. You can go for the Sapphire dual fan model to try your luck in unlocking.

Whats your PSU and Cabinet.

6950 is a BIG card.

Not the present custom PCB-based models. Its as long as yours mobo's width, you just have to take care for clearance behind the card, ie, no HDDs behind the card if there's a space constraint in the cabinet.

I vote for Msi 6950 as i am using it i am proud of this card!

wait for kepler's 660/650 or amd's 7870/50 . If u can't wait go for 6950.

If 3D modelling/viewing, then also HD 6950.

I remember correcting you and others on multiple occasions.

@rahulmax
Thanks a lot for your advice but i have a doubt whether MSI GTX560ti twin frozr OC can handle the Softwares like Autodesk MAYA 2012 and 3DS Max for Modeliing and Rendering or not beside Gaming?

Time for the ugly truth. lol.

Answer is NO.

[H]ard|Forum - View Single Post - Desktop versus Workstation GPU's? - Here you see this guy complaining about how his GTX 470 half as fast as 8800 GTX.

PS: Latest Maya has tried to address this issue. Viewport 2.0 in Maya 2012 has improved performance on "gaming" Fermi cards.

Get a workstation card. Or get AMD HD 6950 2GB - for gaming and modeling.

One more link you'd like to follow - *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/1607682-post18.html

Agreed.

Closing this thread.

PC vs Console is a matter of personal choice.
