Fps drop down

[raja10]

ihave amd fx8120, asus m5a97 r2.0 mobo , trans cend ddr3 4 gb 1333Mhz ram, cooler master Gx 650W SMPS, and nvidia geforce 8400gs graphics, . i have experiencing sudden frame rate drop from 55-60 fps to 7 -10 fps while playing assassins creed 3 and battle field 3 and crysis 2. iam gonna buy gtx 660 or 660 ti . suggest me good one to go for ti one or non ti one . is my cpu is bottle neck?

That is a very old card and I'm surprised that it can even run the game. Low resolution I suppose. GTX 660TI is better is kinda the overclocked version of 660. Also you can get HD7870 GHz at a much lower price with almost same speed.

 

[xroe]

First off, what are you looking to spend? Also as for the cpu being a bottle neck, not a chance.

 

[bigshootr8]

With that card no it wouldn't bottleneck I would imagine with the higher end current gen cards it would give the bulldozer chip a lot of trouble. 7850, and 660's shouldn't give it any trouble.

 

[mycutefairy]

If you are on a tight budget, you can get the HD 7770 but basing on the options you gave us.. GTX 660 Ti is best

 

[raja10]

my budjet is about 16000 rs of indian currency or 300usd

If you can afford the extra 2500 go with this it is definitely worth it

The prices of graphics card's are really high in India so either you can go with this card or wait until amd 8000 or GTX 700 series come out, which will make the prices current neration processor go down.

Ill recommend you check the prices in shops of Kolkata and bengaluru.

 

[raja10]

what about this

http://www.flipkart.com/msi-nvidia-n660-tf-2gd5-oc-2-gb-gddr5-graphics-card/p/itmdeh4w3nugtu8s?pid=GRCDEH4WN9NA5NRN&ref=b678901f-2a66-45bd-bd59-0e3320144f0f&srno=t_1&otracker=from-search&query=msi%20nvidia%20n660%20tf%202gd5oc%202%20gb%20gddr5%20graphics%20card

 

[Xttony]

I prefer gigabyte over MSI also the ard you specified is out of stock and I am pretty sure that they will not restock it because the demand for graphics card is very low here. This is also the reason for the prices to be high.

 

[raja10]

iam not gona buy it online . i will buy them in ctc in secundrabad, where prices are lower than online about 2000 to 3500 , they ll have all the stock of all companies. evga,

what about evga ftw signature 2 2gb ddr5

 

[Xttony]

Ctc in Secunderabad? My geography is not good at all? If you are getting it cheap go for it. Get the cheapest variant of the card you are buying and you'll be fine.
Can you do me a favor and check the price of Thermaltake Level 10GT?

 

[raja10]

Gigabyte has better cooling

Will you please check the price of thermaltake level 10gt?

 

[raja10]

(thermal take it 10gt snow)

 

[raja10]

can i go for gtx650 ti oc sli

 

[Xttony]

can i go for gtx650 ti oc sli

Do you mean You want to SLI two GTX 650 TI?
The GTX 660 is faster than GTX 650TI also costlier
Benchmarks http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/680?vs=660
It is better not to SLI two cards also SLI capable motherboards which do not share the pcie bandwidth are very expensive.
Get a 660 and overclock it yourself.

 

[bigshootr8]

You can't Sli any of the 650 cards that includes the ti versions as well.

 

[raja10]

what about evga 2gb ddr5 ftw signature 2 or zotac 2gb 660

 

[bigshootr8]

A 660 can be sli'd I would suggest a EVGA signature 2 card if you do get a EVGA card and if you go with a GTX660 you will be far happier with the 660 then the 650Ti.

 

[Xttony]

I don't think that the EVGA cards are available here. You can go with gigabyte or palit. Both make great cards. I have used palit and the build quality is pretty good.

 

[bigshootr8]

Available where? I'm pretty sure you can get EVGA cards anywhere they are the 1 supplier of Nvidia cards.

 

[Xttony]

Available where? I'm pretty sure you can get EVGA cards anywhere they are the 1 supplier of Nvidia cards.

In India, I checked with online shops and one of the big markets of computer hardware.
If EVGA was available I would have suggested him to get that too.

 

[bigshootr8]

OH okay gotcha. Support in India could be different since you are more experienced with that I would defer to you I believe ash on the forums as well is big with knowing the in and outs of India.
