Please help me in choosing the graphic card.

[Divyanshu Sah]

Hi
I am building my new gaming pc. Here is the rig:
fx 6300
msi-g46
CM thunder 600w
4X2 gb ddr3 ram clocked at 1330 mhz
I am confused between graphics card. At first i was planning to buy hd 7770. But in one of my thread i got to know that it wasn,t much powerful. So i have a choice between these. please select one:
1.gainward gtx 650ti 2gb

6. msi gtx 660 2gb oc

All are gddr5 .Cannot go above that price range. Most of you would say a hd 7850 or gtx 660 . But then i think my cpu would create a bottleneck. But then i am gonna overclock my cpu to 4.5 Ghz and its 6 cores. Thanks in advance.

 

[sam_p_lay]

Actually a GTX660 will go very nicely with that, especially with the overclock you should get some quality performance.

Thamks for answer but lets see what other people say

 

[Divyanshu Sah]

I forgot to mention that i will overclock the card to get better performance . And does all the cards i mentioned need a 6 pin power connection or 8 pin.

 

[Divyanshu Sah]

Is 560 ti better than gtx 660

 

[sam_p_lay]

Nope. 660 is around 30% faster.

 

[harshbhati15987gmailcom]

the nvidia gtx660 would be the best option you can get from these all ....after cpu overclocking ,it won't have any bottlenecking issues.you'll get a better performance from all of them if you buy a 660..and yes ,buy a zotac one and just don't go with brands like pny ,msi , gainward etc. if you live in india cause zotac has a good after sales service (via aditya infotech) in india .go with gtx660 (oc if you need ) and enjoy gaming

Hey zotac is very expensive. The only reason i thought of buying a gtx 660 was beacause msi was offering it at a very low price . I would go for a 7870 rather than buyingf any zotac . And i dont consider msi and gainward to be bad brands . They are also very good. And if you say about product quality than better consider evga.
Well leave it . how much performance drop would i see from gtx 660 to hd 7850 and how much in hd 7790 (in fps).
At 1600 X 900 and ultra settings in bf3, skyrim and upcoming games like gta 5 and watch dogs

 

[sam_p_lay]

Upcoming games don't have benchmarks yet because they're upcoming. You'll probably also have a hard time finding benchmarks for games at ultra and 1600x900. Ultra is usually benchmarked at 1920x1080, 1920x1200, 2560x1440, 2560x1600 or 5760x1080. The GTX660 will be consistently faster across everything though, current games and upcoming. And you're right - MSI are excellent quality. My friend's parents have my old MSI MX460 from 2003 and it's still running.

 

[harshbhati15987gmailcom]

msi gtx660 oc outperforms all cards except an hd 7870 which is quite faster card .and i'm not saying that msi is a bad brand .i just suggested zotac considering after sales service ..i also have an msi motherboard and its a good brand ..well back to graphic card ,i think if you have some extra money to spend than the hd 7870 will give you fluency in fps with very high settings at 1080p and will be worth considering ...if not then the msi gtx660 2gb oc is also a good card

 

[harshbhati15987gmailcom]

don't buy an hd 7850..buy a gtx660 instead and if you want ultra at 1600*900 in modern and upcoming games my suggestion still would be a sapphire radeon hd 7870 1gb ddr5 ..its worth considering .

 

[Divyanshu Sah]

Some questions are in my mind. Answer them and remember not to give any suggestion about other crad:
1. Is gts 650ti boost better than 7850.
2. Is 7790 better than 650ti boost.
3. Is gtx 560 better than 650 ti boost.
4. Is hd 6950 better than 7850.
5. Is hd 6950 better than gtx 660.
6. Is gtx 560ti better than gtx 660(non ti)
7. Is hd 6870 better than hd 7850.

Answer all of them point wise.Dont consider the features and dont tell that some are dead. Tell which is better in terms of performance only.

 

[sam_p_lay]

1. Equal
2. No - 7790 is slower.
3. No - GTX560 is slower.
4. No - 6950 is slower.
5. Same as 4.
6. No - GTX560 Ti is slower.
7. No - 6870 is slower.

For your reference, GTX650 Ti Boost and 7850 are comparable to GTX570 or 6970.

What is amp edition as i see amp edition written with gtx 650 ti cards . Is it better than boost edition

 

[sam_p_lay]

Zotac's factory-overclocked brand. No different to EVGA FTW editions or anything else.

 

[harshbhati15987gmailcom]

no ,the 660ti boost is faster than 650ti amp edition

 

[Divyanshu Sah]

How much difference between gtx 650 ti boost 1 gb and boost 2 gb . And i found that amp version is better than boost version . Watch here :

I also found that saphire hd 7850 1 gb is better than both of them.

what about gsx 560 ti. Is it better than simple gtx 650ti

I'm not sure how you're deciding which card is better. Are you simply saying the more expensive card must be better? I think you're lacking understanding here.

http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/NVIDIA/GeForce_GTX_650_Ti_Boost/25.html

And as you can see here, GTX560 Ti is indeed better than GTX650 Ti, but not as good as GTX650 Ti Boost.

 

[Divyanshu Sah]

But would 7850 2 gb oc would be better . As it is oc.

 

[Divyanshu Sah]

http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showthread.php?t=181758

Read this one. They say that hd 7850 is generally clocked low and we can overclock it about 40 %. Whereas 650ti boost can only be overclocked upto 15%. Then this means 7850 oc is better than gtx 650ti oc.

 

[sam_p_lay]

All cards overclock (and the amount of RAM doesn't affect that). How much of an overclock you get from the card is always a gamble. There's no guarantee your's will overclock the same as the reviewer's. It varies by what part of the silicon wafer the die was cut from after fabrication. You'll certainly be able to get at least a little extra from either card, but no guarantees how much. Keep in mind also overclocking will void warranty.

will amd fx-6300 clocked at 3.5 Ghz bottleneck gtx 650ti boost. I was going to overclock it to 4.5 Ghz. But now i fear to overclock it as you said overclocking voids the warranty. is there any risk in overclocking amd fx 6300 to 4.5 Ghz. I am going to use a cpu cooler.

 

[sam_p_lay]

Even at stock the FX6300 should have ample performance for your GTX650 Ti Boost.

 

[Divyanshu Sah]

will the warranty still be void if i would overclock it with softwares like msi afterburner. I am not going to overclock it by changing bios settings.

 

[sam_p_lay]

Haha yes it will be void. It doesn't matter what software you use - the result is the same. If you increase clock frequencies, you've overclocked it.
