[pell380]

i have core i5 2500k now i am looking for a gpu that cost around gtx 460 or 6850 and more in same price

dont tell me the cards of price like gtx560 bcz they are out of my range i have to buy a psu also

 

[Memnarchon]

MSI GTX460 Hawk edition which is almost equal to GTX560 (HAWK=780Mhz 560=810Mhz) and it costs only 129$!!! after rebate. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127518
edit: Also a cheap but great for its money psu is corsair cx500 v2 for 39$ after rebate: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139027

 

[pell380]

what about the evga 1gb gtx 460 it will be good for 1900*1080 resolution and 600watt psu???

 

[spentshells]

I would get the hawk for the dual fans, some of the evga single fan cards have mem problems after a while, unless you have really good case cooling.

The Hawk at Newegg is $160. The rebate "card" (not a check) won't help you pay for it - especially 8-12 weeks down the road. OP, you need to give us a maximum price.

How many PCI-E connectors do you have if 1 you can't get the 460 that needs 2 connectors. the 6850 only needs 1

the 6850 is a little bit faster(5%) then the 460. But the 6850's power consumption is much better!.

 

[pell380]

my psu will be

or

http://www.coolermaster.com/product.php?product_id=6641

which one is good and supports gtx 460,gtx 560ti and in ati 6850,6870,6950

I would recommend avoiding Cooler Master entirely. They are not a very good brand and the power supply is the last component you would want to go cheap on. Stick with quality manufacturers like Antec, Corsair, Seasonic, etc.

will they be enough for these cards i tell

 

[jyjjy]

That Thermaltake is not good at all but the Antec unit is high quality and can handle any of the cards you have mentioned.

I also put a vote toward the GTX460 HAWK OC. Personally, I just bought this for myself. Should arrive today! A reasonable step up from my 5770 for my budget build. Now I'm putting my old 5770 in my son's new build!

I was going to provide a link to the deal I got, but its over now. I picked mine up for $115 after rebate! Can't wait to overclock this thing. All the reviews I've read can overclock this to within a few FPS of a 560TI!

6850 will give more than gtx 460?

 

[jyjjy]

The HD6850 and GTX 460 are basically equal in performance at reference speeds. At the prices you linked I would only bother with the GTX 460 if you plan on giving it a high overclock.

 

[we1shcake]

here in the uk a 6870 is only about £10 more than the 6850 if its the same in america id go for a 6870 if not the msi 460 hawk is probably your bbest bet

i will not overclock i am talking about the performance at stock clocks

and how is 6790 good enough it will save my money

comparing 6790 to gtx460 abd 6850

all in power requirements and in performance

and suggest me psu that can support all these above cards
these are available now i am looking a psu from 5000rs to 6000rs or may be 500rs more

[we1shcake]

the 6790 is a bit anaemic, to be honest. get the 6850 or the 460 otherwise you might end up regretting it

 

[GreenDutchAlien]

6790 is a bit slower than the 460 but not that much. http://tweakers.net/reviews/2086/6/hd-6790-aanval-op-de-mainstreammarkt-alien-vs-punt-predator.html
http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/HD_6790/22.html

I would go for the Antec 500W if you never gonne sli or crossfire or having a gtx590 or something, it's enough. ANTEC BP500U 500WATTS CONTINUOUS POWER PSU or if you wanne save some electricity the ANTEC EA500D GREEN 500WATTS CONTINUOUS POWER

 

[jyjjy]

What resolution will you be using? At 1080p I would stick with an HD6850 or GTX 460. If you resolution is lower then tell us and we will recommend appropriate cards.
As for the PSU on the pages you linked I'd probably get the Antec BP500U or the FSP Blue Storm 500w.

 

[spentshells]

6970 is not as powerfull as the the other two cards and it wouldn't be worth skimping.

The 500 watt antec PSU from galaxy would work or

TR2 RX 550W-MODULAR (W0134RE) on the same website.

You could go without modular but its kinda a pain in the ass

 

[pell380]

my resolution will be 1080p not less i am buying a new lcd also

 

[pell380]

i found this

cooler master gx 550
http://support.amd.com/us/certified/power-supplies/Pages/details.aspx?item=499


amd certified psu's

http://support.amd.com/us/certified/power-supplies/Pages/listing.aspx

cant find that antec psu in the list

 

[GreenDutchAlien]

Cooler Master ain't great, specially with the lower end models. Antec is good quality, so is Corsair, XFX and they all work with amd, certified or not.
Otherwise take the 600W version or something.

 

[pell380]

so you are saying that if i go with cooler master i should go for 600watt or more and woth antec 500watt will be good?
