Hello Guys, I Want to Purchase a New Graphic Card and My Budget if Rs 8000 and i can stretch 1.5k more if there is a great improvement. So, Here are the Details :-

1. Which Power Supply do you have? (Be EXACT while naming the company and model)
A. Corsair GS600

2. What is your budget?
A. Max. 8k + 1.5k(if there is a great improvement, and not more than that)

3. Which resolution will you game at?
A. Currently i will play at 1600x900, will play at 1080p in future(in a year or two).

4. What are your current computer specifications?
A. Intel Core i5 2400, Intel DH67CL B3, 8 GB RAM,Cooler Master Elite 310.

So, please suggest a card in this budget. Also, as I am studying in a Hostel , I will come home only during Vacations and play in that time. I am living in Chennai, so i wont buy from online sites other than FK, Amazon and theitdepot .

Increase the budget close to 10.5-11k and get R7 265.

11k is bit higher in current scenario. If you could suggest a card less than 9.5k , it would be good.

R7 265 worth the extra money over R7 260 ?

Try to find a second hand R7 265 / GTX 750 Ti then or else if you want a new one then R7 260x is your only option.

If you want to play at 1080p resolution increase the budget and get GTX 960 else get GTX 750 Ti.

Getting where ?

I have similar specs as of yours, i5 760, 2 x 4 GB RAM ( Have 1 4 GB, will buy one today )

Need to play GTA V, am getting around 15-35 fps on my PC, really bothering me, if RAM increase doesn't help, maybe think of geting the R7 260.

ALthough most people mentioned the 750 TI here, other forums have mentioned against 750 TI as it is near the end of its product life ( ???? ) , anyone any comments on that ??

Will the R7 260 / 750 Ti run on Corsair CX400 ?

// Sorry for little bit thread hijacking but I have similar req.

For Zotac you need to register in their website for additional 3 years warranty.So Zotac offers 2+3 years warranty which is best. Go with Zotac GTX 750Ti 2GB -11114 where with 7% discount comes at 10336.

ZOTAC graphics cards qualify for the ZOTAC Extended Warranty Programme with product registration. Please ensure you are viewing your regional webpage for the correct warranty information.

ZOTAC graphics cards in this region carry a standard 2-year warranty. Users seeking warranty service within the first 2 years must contact the original reseller.

The ZOTAC Extended Warranty Programme adds an additional 3-year warranty for a total of 5-years with product registration for the original owner. Owners seeking warranty service beyond the standard 2 year warranty may contact ZOTAC directly for warranty service.

5 year replacement warranty? Original reseller, who's that?

Got the 750 Ti yesterday.

Had chosen the 750 Ti over higher cards so that i wouldn't have to upgrade PSU. Unfortunately now that GTA V has detected a decent GPU it is trying to load much more textures and details, and 4 GB is falling short of requirements. I am getting 25 fps at 720p High :( RAM available is falling as low as 30 MB ( out of 4096 )

Have to invest in a 2x4GB kit now :(

Changed a few settings in GTA V and was able to play at 720p smoothly, setting VSync to half made GTA V cap framerate at 30 fps ( which I wanted anyway, the Frame Rate option couldnt be changed in my settings for sme reason )

Still got 2x4GB HyperXFury, now I can play at 1600x900 at 30 fps, but it lags at 1080p normal/high settings, 18-20 fps.
