Which GPU is the best ?

[Hemanth Immanuel]

Hi, These are my current specs.

i5 2400
8GB DDR3 RAM
XFX HD 6850

I'm not satisfied with the performance of my GPU. I have a 550 Watt PSU, and i don't want to change my PSU. I want to know which Graphics card is the best among the ones that i can run. thank you

hd 7870 would be good

 

[Gennaios]

if you do not want to spend a lot of money go for the 7770!it would be helpful to know in what resolution you run your games!
but to see the real difference compared to your 6850 go for the 7850 or 7870 but again i need to know in what resolution you run games so i can help you more!

GTX 670 is the best choice and should run fine, as long as your PSU is not a Diablotek or Sunbeam. What's your budget?

 

[ubercake]

I agree with jessterman21.

 

[L Helps]

depends on the budget.
I suggest a hd 7870 XT.

Budget is around 20000 INR, which is around 350 USD

Cooler Master PSU, budget 20000INR ~ 350 USD

This hierarchy chart is old and outdated.With newer drivers the 660 ti performs on par with the 7950 boost and can run on the same power supplies that are suitable for the 660.

just chill bro after some days amd will update drivres and hope hd 7950 will get ahead of gtx 660ti

This is such an irrelevant statement you just made.Its as if amd are the only ones working on releasing drivers in the coming days.Since these cards were released both the camps have released respective drivers to boost performance and are continuing their work in parallel. Amd had an early start,nvidia joined from November last year and is on their way to release another driver when march ends.There's nothing partial in what i mentioned.
Its just that the situation has changed and it has been like this since December last year.Hence its justifiable to say the 660 ti is on par with the 7950 boost since this scenario has been consistent for four months now.

 

[ASHISH65]

it is just a fight between amd and nvidia

ha lol

Get a 7950 man =)I just bought one today, Its a really great card, running crisis 3 max settings 1080p msaa x2. Or if you want nvidia, gtx 660ti or 670 =D. You know what, fk it just go for the Nvidia titan =p

Haha seriously though, i did get a 7950, its an amazing card and overclocks like a crazy mofo, 800mhz stock, running 1100mhz engine clock on 1095 mV, its really great, and as mentioned above, after the new driver updates its surpassed the 660ti (for now). Its pretty awesome card, im really happy with it. That being said 660ti is great as well, i dont know how well they oc though, my 560ti does alright on my other computer.

 

[Anik8]

xactly,and they've never been this close since a long time.

 

[Hemanth Immanuel]

I've decided to go for the GTX 660 Ti, and I'm going to get a new PSU as well, please suggest some good PSUs from Antec and Corsair (500 - 600), I need a few options for the PSU, because I don't think every model will be available. Thank you.

 

[ubercake]

Corsair CX500 or CX600 for a good value-level supply. A Corsair TX650 V2 if you don't mind spending a little more for something manufactured by Seasonic.

Whichever is available to you.

 

[Hemanth Immanuel]

One more thing, I have a cooler master CM 310 Case and a DH67BL motherboard Will the GTX 660 Ti (or) the HD 7870 (my second option) fit in the case ?

 

[ASHISH65]

yes it will fit easily.

 

[dknightxs]

[L Helps]
