If its the 2gb version, then its a good deal.

[smltngs]

Any price cuts for graphic cards in india in the coming months.

[d3p]

no my budget is limited to mainly 6k and i will go for a 7k one if its really worth paying extra 1k...
the reason why i asked for psu, is that i don't want another gpu to get dead in less than 2yrs...

i will go for a new psu with higher wattage, only if its needed....

The PSU "Coolmasters RS-350" is a complete CRAP.....Yes, you heard the correct thing.

Now just for running a PC without any GPU on it, that PSU will be more than Sufficient, but not for the way you have abused.

Do as i & Megamind has Suggested. Its the cheapest way of expenditure for you now.

Rest is all upto you.

[kapilove77]

Yes its 2 gb version . I am having 1 problem with hdmi i can't see full desktop. Its cutting from edges for like 2-3 inch but with dvi i m getting full what's the problem ? i updated to 11.11 driver already!

[mouthearnose]

Hi everybody,

First, specs of my computer:
nVidia GeForce 9600 GT Graphic Card
3GB RAM
Intel Core-2-Duo Processor
Cooler Master 500W S.M.P.S

Now, My problem is that, when i start my computer, it all works fine, but when i run a game, many Blue/Red Dots appear on my screen and my computer suddenly becomes unresponsive and i have to restart my computer manually. It all started a week ago when i started to play a game which i played often.

I am not able to run any game or an HD video. I searched it on the internet and found this information:
> It can be due to high temperature inside the CPU. So i installed a software which tells the inside temperature. I noted that the temperature remains around 60 Degree Celsius.
> Someone told me that it can be an indication that my graphic card is going to die. I bought it in April 2009. And it is still in warranty.
> It can be due to dust and dirt inside the CPU. So i cleaned all the dust but all in vain.
> I scanned my PC but nothing came out.

This is all i found. Now you are my last hope, please help me and tell me whats the problem and a possible solution. Do i have to buy a new graphic card?

Please help me..
Thank You

[LegendKiller]

@kapilove77, congrats..



Higher wattage is not the need.. But build quality n efficiency...

My suggestion would be the same,

ok, thanks, do suggest me a good gpu in that price range.......

[Skud]

90% chance is the one i marked.

Cause of problem:
1. overheating due to dust.
2. overheating due to faulty fan or loose HSF.
3. GPU not receiving enough power from that crap PSU.
4. you stretched the GPU by benchmarking it a lot.

This is all i found. Now you are my last hope, please help me and tell me whats the problem and a possible solution. Do i have to buy a new graphic card?

send it for RMA but before that try to test it in another PC. clean the PCIe slot & try. install latest drivers. try other games. light games or try the one thats giving problem at lowest settings. test the temperature. if nothing works, its RMA time.

BTW which brand?

This card, good for HTPC???

Sapphire HD6670 Low Profile Graphics Card Review - Introduction

if you game, then the small fan may need to spin a lot/fast & that "may" create an audible sound. also these low profile cards are hard to find & usually cost more than the normal version. else look for some other lowend cards.

[Skud]

Yeah, the fan doesn't look good. But the noise can be listened to in the review.

[smltngs]

Is "Point of View(PoV)" a good brand for graphic cards. How is there service in india.

[Skud]

Not so good, and no so easily available in India afaik.

[smltngs]

I bought a GTX 560(non-Ti) PoV(yes i understand it is hardly a good brand but since i bought it, cant do anything now). Problem is my card has 2 PCIe(6-pin) ports but my PSU (corsair vx450) only has one PCIe connector. I think i should use molex to PCIe converter but I may not be able to find one in my little town. Please suggest anyplace online where i can buy one or any other options for my problem.

[MegaMind]

^^Wasn't that supplied with ur GPU?
4 Pin Power Molex to 6 Pin PCI Express Graphics Card

But 400 bucks for this is too much IMO..

[smltngs]

No it is not supplied with my GPU. I have seen that ebay link. They take too much delivery time(Indian Postal Delivery).Any other options?

[hidrag]

1st My PC specs:
Processor: Intel Core2Duo 2.66 GHz E7300
Motherboard: NVIDIA GeForce 7150/NVIDIA nForce 630i MCP
RAM: 2 GB 800 MHz x 1
HDD: 2 x 500 GB Seagate
PSU: 450 W(local made)
Monitor:AOC 18.5" LCD

Now my questions.
1. I want to buy a low-end graphics card, budget 3k. please suggest me one with price in kolkata. I am a casual gamer.

2. I also want to buy another 2 GB 800 MHz RAM. please tell me this price in kolkata

I will be gratefull if I get a quick reply. I have faith on you guys.

[Cilus]

The price of 2GB 800 MHz DDR2 ram is around 1.25K to 1.3K.

For graphics card, try to find out HD 4670 512 MB GDDR3 version. Price will be slightly higher than 3K. Otherwise GT 520 1GB GDDR3 from brands like Zotac, MSI or Asus; should be within 3K.

But my recommendation is increase your budget by 1K and get the Sapphire HD 5670 512MB GDDR5 card around 4.2K

Is ati radeon hd 5450 a good card for gaming?

or what about ati radeon hd 5570

[sam]

^^ go with HD5670 512Mb & forget ram upgrade for now. later add 2Gb stick.

HD5450 is a lowend card & not at all worth the investment. even if you use it for casual gaming. HD5570 is a good option but if possible go for HD5670.

[smltngs]
