Hello,
I'm not a big time gamer, but I'd love to play fifa 12 and other popular games on my PC. I have a 2gb ram, dual core processor (2.5ghz), 20inch LCD and windows xp on my PC.
My budget is INR5000 i.e approx $100

Thank u in advance

Make sure you have PCIE 2.0 compatible motherboard, decent 350W+ PSU with one 6 pins connector I think it should work.

Not really. You didn't give us almost any info about your system, like PSU or motherboard models.

i hav MSI G31TM-P21 motherboard.
Slots
• 1 x PCI Express x16 slot (PCI Express Bus SPEC V1.0a compliant)
• 2 x PCI slots (support 3.3V/ 5V PCI bus Interface)

How much PSU is gud enough ?

That means 2.1 PCI-E cards are not compatible. Including 6770.

A good PSU is decent branded 400W+ PSU for you who want $100 GPU.

hmm, its backward compatible bu you will be fine.

so i can breath free now, coz i was worried if my G31 motherboard's pcie x 16 v 1.0 wud work well with v 2.0 cards or not.
I don't need to change my mainboard right?
And how much psu is required fr a 6670?

 

[xtreme5]

yes, my friend don't worry about that many peoples are using 2.0 card on 1.0.
approximately 450w.

 

[mdad]

[swifty_morgan]

get 6670..

 

[mdad]

i do wanna hav 4gb ram, but right now i m on a tight budget of $100. So those another 2gigs will have to wait.
I've heard 5670 consumes a lot of power. Is it better than 6670?

[swifty_morgan]

it's the same re-branded card and a different bios to make it say it's a new card.

ok i think i'll buy 6670. Which company is gud? i like XFX.
and wats d difference between the GDDR3 and GDDR5 models?

 

[refillable]

Simply, The difference between GDDR3 and GDDR5 Is the VRAM (Video Random Access Memory). GDDR5 Is a faster type of memory.

XFX is fine brand, but I heard they have high temperatures. They come at decent price. I have never try any XFX products. Try them out anyway. Temperature should be fine as long as it doesn't reach anywhere above 90 degrees C.

if you can find out the SAPPHIRE version it's better than XFX cause XFX gpu's getting hot.
Well gDDR5 has very high data bandwidth compared to the gDDR3

ohh OK i was going fr xfx cos someone told me thy have better heat sinks. anyways i actually went to market and i found dt sapphire is cheaper and much easily available.

And one more thing. as u kno my G31 motherboard is PCI Ex16 1.0 and is a DDR2 supporting board. Will it support a GDDR3 or GDDR5 card?
