There are three option

MSI HD5670 1GB GDDR5 @ 6.3k
Sapphire HD5670 512MB GDDR5 Artic Cooling @ 5.5k
Sapphire HD5670 512MB GDDR5 @ 5.2k


My suggestion will be the 512 MB version, as the 1 GB version will not deliver high performance boost. Only in some higher resolution, it will have a little advantage.

And one question, do you have a good PSU or generic one? just let is know before buying the card. Because a good PSU is also very important to run a good card.
I think that all Sapphire HD5670 512MB are coming with Arctic Cooling Heatsink only and it is now retailing for Rs. 4.9k and not 5.5k. Check here: Sapphire HD5670
