Need a good GPU for 15K~18K

I need a good GPU for 15K~18K that should have more than 1GB memory and if possible should be 3d. Can i exactly make use of 3d graphics? If no, then should i buy the MSI R6950 Twin frozr III/OC?

For enabling 3D, you also need a 3D display or 3D LCD TV. Currently all the 3D Monitor available in India support nvidia 3D and starting price is around 20K. Are you ready to pay 20K for the display? if yes then we can start suggesting.

Post your complete Config details mainly monitor, PSU & cabinet.

Just get MSI R6950 Twin frozr III/OC and be done with it.

We'll talk about 3D after two years or more.

and yea, do post your config.

^^ IMO if 3D is the main priority then get GTX560ti or 570 or even 580.

Nvidia is much matured in 3D compared to AMD.

Agree with ico. 3D isnt exactly "in" yet.

Go for MSI R6950 Twin frozr III/OC @ 15.8K

+1 for MSI 6950 TFIII

3D monitors are avail.
Nvidia 3D glasses are avail.
All games, being released are 3D compatible, all we need is a good GPU..

I agree with d3p5kor about the nvidia part on 3D...

Strain is also available for your eyes after an hour or so.

No one really games with glasses on. I personally find all these 3D TVs, monitors and movies as gimmicks. Movies are fine sometimes though but really strains.

^^ even for movies, you put those glasses for more than 1.5hr - 2hrs.

Games are in different league, where you are involving yourself.

Agree with the strain part, but in each video game's read me documents its clearly mentioned take short break & don't play for long time at a shot.

You called up SMC & checked the stock or just gone through the SMC's homepage.

Anyway i got the link from SMC only "Click Here"

i asked for complete desktop config through mail and they replied that its not possible to be made available..and website doesn't seem to be updated very often..can you suggest substitute for it..

The strain levels depends on monitors.. But its true prolonged exposure is not good..

You have to buy these components separately from different shop then.

Where are you located BTW ???

J

Mumbai..

^^ Get everything from Lamington Road.

Thanks Guys. I'll take the MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III/OC. I'll use a 3D LED TV as my monitor if I have to use the 3D feature.

My System Configuration:
Processor : Intel core i5 2500k
Motherboard : MSI Z68MA-ED55(B3)
RAM : G.Skill RipjawsX F3-12800CL9D-4GBXL(2 X 4GB)
HDD : Seagate 1TB barracuda 7200.12
PSU : Cooler Master GX-550W
Case : Cooler Master Elite 430

^ but i already enquired in2-3 shops..but still try..thanx..

if you insist on 3D then drop ATI & Get Nvidia. But personally I would go with ico and jump on 3D wagon after a couple of years.

560 TI Hawk will be a nice option & I guess this is easily available in Mumbai if budget permits then go for GTX570 or 580.

J

well my cousin is coming from US next month i'll ask if he can get me MSI N570GTX Twin Frozr III PE/OC for 370$ from Newegg or may be less by then...else may be stick to 560Ti..what do you say..

well, if you are using your 3D TV then ATi/AMD is fine. Not on monitor though.

EVGA GTX 560 Ti

Price: 14800.00

Its wise to pick MSI N560TI Twin Frozer III @ that price...

MSI N560TI HAWK@14k is better than EVGA@14.8k one.And don't consider cm gx550 instead choose Corsair GS600@3.8k.

First of all if you want to use a 3D TV as Monitor, make sure that it has dual Link DVI connector or Display port. Current connection standard HDMI 1.4a does not providte enough bandwidth to provide more than 24 fps in 1920X1080 or full hd resolution...it is true for both AMD and nVidia.

2ndly, a single GT 560 Ti is not enough for Full HD in 3d display. At least opt for either GTX 570 or HD 6790 2 gb

^^Cilus thats 6970 2GB.. right?

I think you are right, but i would be buying a GPU in October. So, maybe i should look forward to the AMD Radeon 7000 series or nVidia GTX 600 series. More likely for the AMD GPUs as i have herd that they are better when you are using a 3D TV as your monitor.

Also, can anyone tell me are there any shops which sell EVGA or Palit GPUs in Delhi.

3D just sounds good until you get to use it. You will enjoy it for the first week, and then you will get pissed off with it.

Even though it sounds extremely fun to watch your m4 carbine come in front of your face and bullets fly past your face. It lasts for a minimal amount of time, plus you need to have an EXTREMELY powerful rig to be able to handle 3D and high quality graphics.

Trust me, i got a 55 inch 3D tv with a ps3 and 5 3d games. I almost never play them in 3d xD but...movies are a whole new thing

So, yeah Nvidia gtx580 all the way!!

M.D. Computers. But Better option is to go with MSI.
