ZOTAC GTX TITAN selling around Rs 68,000

i am from india according to this going for sapphire card is best ,what are the better after market coolers both water cooling options the convectional cooling
specs are
i 5 3570k
P8Z77-V
PSU corsair 600W bronze certified (is this power supply enough for the graphic card)

for your area, the amd r9-290 will be your best performing card for your money. also sapphire is pretty good for their cooling solutions.

so my recommendation is the 290, for the price

the 780ti is the fastest by quite a bit across the board though, and the standard cooler on it is actually pretty good. so if you want the best, go with teh 780ti.

if you are on a budget, the 290 is your best deal

If you are looking for the best gpu out of those, definately go with the gtx 780ti

Avoid the R9 290 if it uses the stock AMD cooler. It sorely needs a better cooler because it runs very hot. Especially in India where it's mostly warm climate.

The Titan is overpriced and made obsolete by the 780 Ti for just gaming.

Brantyn Gerik · Jan 21, 2014

The temps on that card aren't great. I would suggest finding a card with a different cooler on it

huilun02 :

Brantyn Gerik :

yes but the price is almost double when compared to a R9 290 and moreover i got only that option because i can't find other cards and the aftermarket cards are not yet available here

Brantyn Gerik · Jan 21, 2014

The accelero hybrid cooler you listed is actually one of the best coolers i've ever used. the install is a little tedious, but it will fit on almost any gpu, and comes with enough heatsincs for even the 290x. one thing i do recommend if you get the accelero hybrid, buy a seperate thermal paste and thermal glue solution and mix the thermal paste with thermal glue when attaching heatsincs to different parts of the card. It comes with thermal glue, but mine was all dried out and unuseable, and mixing thermal paste with thermal glue give good thermal performance, but also allows you to remove the heatsincs if you really need to.

Matejar1997 :

in india (just converting it to dollar)
r9 290 is around $580
780ti is around $950

Brantyn Gerik · Jan 21, 2014

price

erformance, the 290 is the best bet for you. try to find an aftermarket one if you can, like sapphire or toxic. just anything that does not have the stock amd cooler will do

huilun02 · Jan 21, 2014

If you're willing to spend more $$ to get an aftermarket cooler like that arctic accelero, might as well get the 780 Ti instead.

As usual stuff in India are stupid overpriced.

i actually want to play on single monitor at 1980*1080 is this overkill or that will be fine for future gaming requirements or will you suggest any other card depending on cost/performance basis refer this site as base

Brantyn Gerik · Jan 21, 2014

yes it is overkill, but at the same time, it's nice to have the performance for the extra eye candy, as well as the 'futureproofing'

huilun02 :

yes you are right ,well accelero are pretty rare after i find one of those i will compare prices of r9 290 with after market cooler and 780ti so what price will you suggest to buy one of these if
r9 290+accelero =rs 48000 (can you suggest any aftermarket cooler with less price to get the job done?)
gtx 780 ti=rs 58000

Uzwal · Jan 21, 2014

Brantyn Gerik :

consider this
r9 290+accelero =rs 48000 (can you suggest any aftermarket cooler with less price to get the job done?)
gtx 780 ti=rs 58000

Brantyn Gerik · Jan 21, 2014

The accelero hybrid costs roughly $140 canadian, so here it would make it more expensive than the 780ti. If the price of the r9 is less than the 780ti by quite a bit, i would highly suggest that, as the accelero hybrid does an AWESOME job of keeping cards cool, and even does a great job of cooling all the other components in the card.

it kept my gtx 780 under 55 degrees under full load after an hour of stress testing. I would expect temps in the low 70's with the 290 or 290x, which is a big improvement over the 95 degrees with the stock cooler
