Bulldozer "Would" Probably come out in the 2nd week of October . So, you should probably wait and let the news come.

[Cilus]

rajatGod512, Asus M5A78LT-M LX supports CPU upto 95W whereas 965 BE is a 125W CPU. So change the motherboard with something eles, with a 8XX based one.

[aman.verma]

[rajatGod512]

@Cilus Oops!! I forgot to see that, my bad.

[aman.verma]

ne suggestions/?
im getting 6850 for 7k. is it worth?

[rajatGod512]

Are you sure its HD 6850 and not HD 6750. If yes then,

HD 6850 @ 7k which brand ... From where??? But yes it is definitely worth actually it's more than worth it ... I think it's a steal!

[Cilus]

^^ Agreed, HD 6850 at 7K is a ultra superb deal. But make sure it is only HD 6850, not HD 6770 or HD 6790.

[aman.verma]

yes
and its
Gigabyte HD 6850 Oced To 820 mhz ( i guess its Factry OCed )
dual fans
friend got it from US. Its sealed. he got a mac book pro so he doesnt need the GFX.
so he said i can have it for 7k or so....
Whats the Current cost of 6850 HD of Gigabyte
some says its 12.5k
some says its 10k
some says 8.9k
im confused :S

also how is
AMD A8-3850 Quad Core Gaming Processor ??
and
AMD A6-3650 is quad core processor

[rajatGod512]

Looks like a brilliant deal to me . Go for that card. I dont know the exact price of it but it would be around 10k. But IDK.

But what I do know is that AMD'S A8 and A6 are not in the same league as Phenom or the Intel core series .
As these A8 , A6 are APU -(An accelerated processing unit (APU) is a processing system that includes additional processing capability designed to accelerate one or more types of computations outside of a CPU. This may include a graphics processing unit (GPU), a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), or similar specialized processing system.)

This is called as AMD Fusion but to say simply - It is not as powerfull as other processor mentioned.

BTW , back to the card , it also looks Cool

[Cilus]

The Gigabye HD 6850 OC is a superb card and @ 7K, it is a steal. But keep in mind two things:-
1. The availability of Gigabyte Gfx card is very limited in India.
2. As it is purchased from US, you won't get any warranty support in India unless it has global warranty. AFAIK, the Graphics cards don't come with global warranty.

[aman.verma]

@rajat : card looks awesome.!
im going for it
@cilius :- friend said it has 3 years warranty but sadly only in STATES
he said if the card gives problem in future it'll take @least 4-5 months for him to get it replaced or whateva
but im for the the card newaz
hope it works for @ 2+ years widout problems
