Suggest graphics crad

[sohraab]

hello,
i am planning to buy a new pc..
core i5-2500k 3.3ghz
8gb ram..
which graphics card should i take..
i am thinking of buying hd 6770 or hd6670
is it good??
or else suggest a good nvidia graphics card at same cost..
i need to play games like mw3, crysis2,battlefield3 at max settings..
monitor 21"
and it should be able to play for next 3 years..

6770 is better than 6670. If you can 6790 or 6850 is better options.

a 6770 is very far from maxing out battlefield 3 on your monitor at max resolution.

you should consider at least a gtx 560ti or amd 6950.

I suggest you wait for the 7000 series of amd cards if you want it to last for the next 3 years. Rumors are the new series have a good performance boost compared to the 6000 series.

If its a gaming PC then get a much better graphics card even if it means getting an i3 instead of i5.

I am ok even if it plays smoothly at medium settings

My budget can extend upto zotac gtx550 ti 1gb ddr5

Budget - Can extend upto gtx 550ti .... what kinda answer is that ??
Where are you based ?
Mention your budget in figures either in $ or your own currency
I'm led to believe that you are from South Asia , but i've been wrong before ...

Sorry my budget is 9000 indian rupees

Dude lucky you , i'm from India too ....
Which state are you from ? What PSU have you decided on ?

With 9000INR the best you could get is an AMD HD6790 ,but no way you will be able to play BF3 at 1080p ( assumption) but if you list the full specs guys can tell you where to cut costs to fit in a more powerful GPU .

I wouldn't settle for any less than HD6870/HD6950/GTX 560 Ti if i were you ...
