hey guys i am in a jiffy. I had posted earlier that my sparkle 8600gt had stopped working, so i went for the Asus Radeon 5750 formula for my system. Now i want to repair the 8600gt and sell it off.

Since the card is out of warranty, is there a way to somehow diagnose the problem and repair it ? My mobo was giving a triple beep error signal when the old card was installed in my system.
So guys is there a way out?

Wat is it going 2 be its price in kolkata ?

Wat brand of gtx 460 is preferred ?

[ssb1551]

Do u want to buy only from Kolkatta?coz I think primeABGB hv the card listed on their site so u can order from there...
"preferred" depends on u!!Buy any brand Zotac,MSI n so on but avoid Palit!!

1st of all let us know if 10K is the budget of Graphics card + PSU or the Graphics card itself.
If (Graphics Card + PSU = 10K) Then
{ 10K is the total budget, then get MSI HD 5750 @ 7.5K + Gigabyte 80 Plus Active PFC 460W @ 2.2k.
}
ELSE
{ MSI 5770 PMD 1GB GDDR5 @ 8.9K + Gigabyte 80 Plus Active PFC 460W @ 2.2k.
}

[topgear]

^^ nice logical arguments.

@ ashikns - what PSu do you have ? Brand name/ Model Name and what's the wattage rating ?

BTW, If you have good psu from a reputaed brand then I would say to hold your horses a little bit more anbd increase your budget by 1.5k and get HD6850 which is better than even HD5830/GTX460.

o topgear da, when will 6850 come to md computers or vedant

[Cilus]

o topgear da,

please don't call me topgear da or Topgear vai ( we already have piyush or sam baba though )

I'm just your buddy & I liked to be called topgear.

if any of my my word hurts you guys in any way I'm sorry for that.

Now regarding your query :

I think HD6850 will be available on Dec in our city.

A note of caution - avoid XFX gfx cards distributed by Rashi Peripherals - the local service center just sucks big time.

Do check this out to know why :

Agree better than 460. Expected for 11K.
He can even go for 6870 @ 14000.

[Piyush]

^^totally agreed

[ssb1551]

^^ with 6850.But u sure abt possible pricin of 6870?coz if it retails for 14k then it'll be a very good deal as there'll b a difference of 250 bucks only between it n GTX460!!

[mohiuddin]

question to d bosses of gpus
1.from hd5770 to hd6870-will it be a good upgrade or wait a bit for next generation(let me guess hd 7900 or kepler)?

2.where can i get latest catalyst10.10hotfix

3.is morphological A.A. in hd6000series worthy features(in some sites,saying it has problems with low resolution & text)

4.is the gtx580 going to evaluate its name-15%faster only from gtx480(rumor),no major even minor structural upgrade-stream processors from 480 to 512-is it a big power,performance,temperature upgrade>couldn't they name it gtx485 or 481 or gtx480.2 or gtx480.512.they couldn't even establish their first fermi line up and they hurring for next series>isn't it for making early cash?

Hello,
I have a desktop with the following BASIC configuration.
ASUS Mobo M2N68-AM Plus
AMD Athlon II X2 250, 3GHz
Frontech 450W SMPS (PSU)
Corsair 2GB DDR2 x 2
1TB + 500GB SATA 7200RPM
Zotac 9500GT 128bit DDR2 1GB
ViewSonic VX1945wm (1440x900)

I would like to change my current entry level graphics card to something more powerful to play games under Full HD with a HDMI port and also for the use of some CAD/CAM and simulation softwares. Please suggest me a good graphics card for my budget of around 7k.

-> Can I get a HD5770 or 9800GT or (the a GTX model) for my budget? If between the first two, which would be the best and would my current SMPS suffice?
-> Or should i get a HD5750/5670 if the former isn't available for around 7k. And any other models close to that which would come that price tag? Also which brand/manufacturer for the same.

I would also like to buy a new 22' monitor (Full HD) with HDMI port along with a good built-in speaker system for a budget of within 10k. I have shortlisted on the model View Sonic VX2260wm. Is it a good choice? Please do suggest other good models available.

Thank you

1.No, since HD6870 is here to replace HD5850 its not an worthy upgrade to HD5770, the performance gain is not worth the price premium.

2.Can't hurt to google right? Google search for 'catalyst 10.10a hotfix" brings this up: AMD Catalyst? 10.10a Performance Optimization Hotfix

3.Morphological aa is a cheaper way to implement aa, performance hit is low but quality is is bad, not worth spending 12k.

4.GTX580 is here to compete with HD6970, while GTX480 takes on HD6950 and GTX460 to take on HD6870/6850 parts etc.

About an worthy upgrade......., amd is doing the same, the HD6800 series is just a minor tweak of rv870 architecture, no major changes in tessellator(just a minor freq bump, only advantage is at lower tessellation levels), the morphological aa is actually run as a direct compute shader(in other words as a program, can run on HD5xxx easily, amd won't allow this to make sure HD68xx series sales are not butchered), so HD68xx=HD58xx=rv870, yet they also jumped a generation, basically both gpu companies bring one new generation every year, if a major architecture change is not possible then a re-brand and minor tweaks, since consoles are stuck at DX9 codes and every games are made with consoles in mind, you are fine with a HD5770 for now(unless you game at 1080p or more)

I was thinking about 6870 but the apathy towards linux drivers is appalling on AMD's part.

Further I plan to go for SLI in future.

Agree better than 460. Expected for 11K.
He can even go for 6870 @ 14000.

For the above reasons. I will eye for 69xx series when current set retires.

Frontech 450W SMPS (PSU)
Corsair 2GB DDR2 x 2
1TB + 500GB SATA 7200RPM

Thank you

The HD5770 is priced at 9000. The 5750 can be found for 7000 if you bargain/look around. Otherwise 5670.

BTW don't split budgets like that.
A Benq G2220HD @ 7500 and MSI HD5770 HAWK @ 9500 will be better in that budget.

AND I don't think that your PSU can take HD5770. ALSO I think that your CPU will bottleneck the graphic card.


@Mohiuddin
Not worth the upgrade mate. Wait and see how the 69XX turns out.

^^ with 6850.But u sure abt possible pricin of 6870?coz if it retails for 14k then it'll be a very good deal as there'll b a difference of 250 bucks only between it n GTX460!!

Someone said in the Tech news thread that his dealer is quoting 14.8K. Lets see what happens.

So HD5750 or 5670 would work fine with my PSU? (Which make/brand would be preferable) Is it a low power consumption card, basically i'd want it to run with the lowest noise, as my current card is soundless in that regard! Also is 9800GT any better than the two ATI models in terms of the requirements mentioned?

[Tathaga]

1 athlon II x4 635
2 Gigabyte GA-MA74GMT-S2
OR
MSI 785GM-E51
3 Kingston 2GB DDR3 1333MHz C9 VALUE (2x)
4 seagate 7200.12 500gb
5 cooler master Elite 430
6 corsair 450vx


ITS ok toh ?

Frontech is a "SASTA" walla PSU. Don't recommend getting a graphic card for that. Get a new PSU.

Get
Monitor - Benq G2220HD @ 7500
Graphic - MSI HD 5670 @ 5800
PSU - Corsair VX450W @ 3500

TOTAL 16800

1 athlon II x4 635
2 Gigabyte GA-MA74GMT-S2

Looks good
Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H @ 4500
GSkill or Corsair RAM - Rs 400 difference.
