Zeroing in on GPU- ASUS vs ZOTAC vs Gainward

Sunny Unni · Aug 23, 2013

Hi All,

Im done with the system upgrade with Core i7 4770, Intel DH87RL Motherboard and Kingston 16GB 1600Mhz HyperX Ram.

The last part remains for the GPU I have narrowed it down to the Nvidia GTX650 1GB DDR5 series. Not sure which one to go for ASUS, ZOTAC or Gainward.

Please Advise.

Thanks

Sunny

What are you using this pc for? Personally the Asus would be more of the trusted brand here.

95% For Home video editing, video encoding etc. Almost no gaming!!

Get better V-RAM then. 1GB might feel sluggish. If you got at least the 2GB VRAM 650 then I would say you migh be better off.

Im also on a budget. How about if I get a card with 4GB DDR3 Ram. Would that be better than 1 GB DDR5 Ram? theres a Zotac card GT630 SYnergy edition with 4GB DDR3 Ram. Its cheaper too.

I would go with ASUS but the other brands aren't bad either. ASUS is definitely the top of those three. If you can afford the ASUS GTX 650 Ti Boost 2GB http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C2KVRG2/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00C2KVRG2&linkCode=as2&tag=b0b929-20 this card is definitely the best performer for the money. Otherwise, go with the regular ASUS GTX 650 Ti 2GB http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BKFYJB0/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00BKFYJB0&linkCode=as2&tag=b0b929-20 and lastly the ASUS GTX 650 2GB http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AZGEHVM/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00AZGEHVM&linkCode=as2&tag=b0b929-20 Don't look at lower models of GPU's such as the GT630 just for more VRAM. You're better off with a 2GB 650 of any kind or even just a 1GB.

Agreed I recommended the higher VRAM also it would help with his purpose of the PC!

Yes, you're on a budget because you blew all that money on the 4770K. Since you're not gaming, it really doesn't matter. The 1GB is better because the GTX 650 is too weak to use more than that.
