Graphics Card for 1920*1080

[bajaj151]

Resolution : 1920*1080

Should RUN games (Full Settings) : COD, NFS , FIFA etc.

Budget : 12K (Can extend, if worth spending more)


Is 6850 or 6870 sufficient OR Should I wait for prices to fall ? ?

[ico]

HD 7850 2GB @ 15K. <== get this.

[bajaj151]

How is MSI N560GTX-Ti Twin Frozr II 2GD5/OC compared to 7850 (same price) ?

[ico]

HD 7850 is faster. Consumes less power. Current generation. Overclocks more - if you care. You get 2 GB of memory by default.

[bajaj151]

Will there be any price fall in 1-2 months ?

[Sujeet]

7850 is more or less rightly priced ATM.
Dont bother much about the price downfall in next 2-3 months.
It wont be any thing like drastic!

In india its really hard to predict or even anticipate price drops. US price changes also reflect here but after a while. Currently 7850 has no competition and 560-ti is last gen as pointed by ico and isn't recommended now considering its higher power requirements and relative lower performance.

660-ti and 660 from nvidia are the real competitors of 7870 and 7850 respectively but those cards are a couple of months away or even more. Until these show up in indian soil, i don't think 7850 will undergo any price drop anytime soon.

So 15k is a fair price considering lack of competition so its a no brainer to grab a 7850. Its far more efficient and offers better performance per watt than 560-ti.

Ok...MSI or Sapphire or Gigabyte ?

[vickybat]

^^ Get the one which is cheapest and comes factory clocked.

[saikiasunny]

The gigabyte is the fastest considering the clocks, but has some fan related issues. The best would be sapphire dual fan edition, but its not factory overclocked. Though you can always manually overclock it if you have such a nice cooler

Going with 7850



Confused between : Gigabyte or Sapphire ??

[saikiasunny]

Sapphire for sure. Get it, overclock it, enjoy it . Heard that gigabyte one had some noise problems, but I m not sure...

[bajaj151]

Not available with SMC...

[the_conqueror]

Try searching local market and few more online shops like Theitdepot - India's First IT Online Shopping Store and hardwire.in

[bajaj151]

In Gigabyte card...there is noise problem with fans..
Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GV-R785OC-2GD Radeon HD 7850 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card

There is solution as well
1) The vibration comes from a flimsy piece of plastic under the fan closest to the video ports. If you loosen the three screws that hold that fan in, lift up the fan and push on the plastic, you will feel how loose and flimsy it is and that it doesn't quite touch the aluminum tightly enough. If you shim a piece of electrical tape that's been doubled a few times under this piece of plastic, the vibration ceases!

I never bought anything from stores other than SMC...But they don't have Sapphire 7850 (as per their site)...Should I go with Gigabyte or ask them to arrange Sapphire 7850 ?

[d6bmg]

660-ti and 660 from nvidia are the real competitors of 7870 and 7850 respectively but those cards are a couple of months away or even more.

There won't be any 660ti like the existing 560ti.
670ti would release in Q3,2012.

@ bajaj151 - build quality of Sapphire HD7850 looks solid.

[kartikoli]

how about
HIS HD 7850 2GB GDDR5 H785F2G2M 256-bit HD7850 Radeon PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Graphic Card

[SunE]

^^ Sapphire one has a really great cooler whereas the cooler on the HIS is not that great. In our Indian weather conditions it's always wise to get the coolest card you can, whether you wanna OC or not. And of course for OCing a good cooler is required thus the Sapphire is the obvious choice. Even I'm getting one personally today or tomorrow
