Finally with help of all here on Tom's
I got my rig (half).thanks to everyone here on Tom's.great guides.

I5 3570k
Z77 asrock pro 4
Corsair 8gb 1600 mhz
Corsair 300r
Corsair 600w gaming series power supply

Only thing I want is graphic card

I have shortlisted 6850 6870 7850

I will be playing at 1024 768 only

But I want to play smoothly at ultra settings
Bf3 ,crysis 2 3, NFS mw2,run,arkham city,mw3,ac3,ac revelations
Budget is tight around these
Please suggest one of these or any other alternative


 
Solution
Buy a 7770. A 6850 is fine too, but the 7770 is more efficient. Also, on a 768p monitor, it would handle everything fantastically. Why pay more?


Sometimes answering a question will suffice. You have a 3570k, so you might overclock (need to buy a CM Evo)..true. But for now, shop for deals. All the GPUs you listed will be excellent with a 1024x768 monitor. You can max out the games you like and you'll be happy. If you keep that monitor then a 6870 ($150) is best or 6850. Buying a 7850 would be overkill on your monitor. You pay more and don't use it. If you want to upgrade the monitor to 1080p, then you'll need a 7850 ($200) but you won't be able to "max" out the settings well.

Some graphics designer stick with old CRT monitor because of color precision..

i agree with aftermarket heatsink..
buying k series means you'll overclock it..if not today, then maybe tommorrow..

But gaming..?
Come on..this is 2012.. (I just remembered playing prince of persia - warrior within at 2004 with that resolution..)

if you intend to do some graphics or 3d work, then buy quadro card..not gaming card..

but if you wanna play games..then switch to larger resolution..how could you see the beauty of shader and other eyes candy in such a low resolution?

pick 6850, then for rest of money left, buy used 19 inch lcd at least 1440x900 or 1600x900..
it maybe will cost you less than $60 for the lcd

what?
$230 just for 6850...? :ouch:

You can get at least 7850 with that money..or even 7870 with some term and condition..:D

Okay..
did mr. aditya_27 live in india too..?

i think he is indonesian...:D
 


A lot of usernames seem random so I didn't notice that. Also, his english was pretty good. It might make sense now why he wants to stick with the old monitor.

So irrelevant...

Don't worry, your comments weren't offensive and comments should stay on topic. The op wants a good GPU for his monitor only. People please read before going off topic.

If you don't know where op is from no worries. Background doesn't matter. OP may be from India but not all people from India live there. Right?

I think OP should buy a 7770 and save money for future upgrade.

okay..
question..

You monitor is 720p that's mean 1280×720..
why you want to play with 1024x768 resolution..?

almost all of game provide 720p resolution..

Back to the card..
Dont't waste your money..even your lowest option (6850 ) is too strong for 720p res..

I suggest you to buy 7770..less power, but with neversettle driver, it's blow 6850 out of the water..
