Radeon R7 260X vs GTX 750 Ti on a Zebronics 450w PSU

[bharathbigb]

Hi All,I may buy a GPU by Next year January.I just need to know which among these GPUs: ASUS AMD Radeon R7 260X 2 GB OC Direct CUII or the Zotac GTX 750 Ti 2 GB.I am more slanted to the Radeon as it sounds cool !! I live in India so both the prices are Higher than USA and UK and people here have very little knowledge.I was Given a Geforce 210 with an i5 2500K and with "It's Geforce 210,It can play Battlefield 3 Maxed out with 60 FPS".But That time,I didn't know anything about PCs but when I studied about these,I felt really Cheated.So This Time,I convinced him to buy me either one of these.I won't be playing everything Maxed Out,I play BF4,Crysis 3,NFS Most Wanted 2012.etc and I want atleast 35 FPS in High Graphic Quality Setting.The Biggest problem is,I have an Intel DH67CL board with a Zebronics 450W PSU Will either both of these work ? My maximum Budget is Rs.15K and I want to do an Upgrade here.Do I really need to Upgrade my PSU ? Answer is not Urgent but please help me out here.Thank you

Both are good cards, but I would get the 750 Ti, it's slightly faster while running quieter and needing less power. The Zotac is okay, but the best 750 Ti's are:
- Gigabyte Windforce
- MSI Twin Frozr
- Asus OC
- EVGA SC

With these you'll play Battlefield 4 on high settings with 60 fps, if you turn off anti-aliasing.

And yeah 450W is enough for both cards. I don't know that PSU brand though, make sure it's reliable.

OK,Guys,I need to know what is a PCI-e Power Connecters.Can you tell either cards with what type of PCI-e Connectors are ? Which uses more power ? I can't find them in my Rig.Thank you

This is a (6-pin) PCI-E power connector:

You should have one coming out of your power supply, and you connect it to the card. All the R7 260x models require one 6-pin connector, while only some of the 750 Ti's require one. You need to look up the specs for each card to see if they require a 6-pin or not.
If you can't find any 6-pin connector to your power supply (which would be weird) then just get a card which doesn't require it (i believe the gigabye and msi i listed don't require it, not 100% sure tho).

Hey Guys,I got a deal for a Sapphire HD 7850 2 GB Ghz OC Edition and he is asking Rs.10,000 and after bargaining It's Rs.9000.He says it will be perfect for a 450w PSU.Is it better than these 2 Cards (GTX 750 Ti and the R7 260X) ? Does it use more Power(Watts) And another Update : I can see 2 MOLEX Pins and he also gives 2 Molex to PCI-e 6 Pin Convertor so it will work.Thank you

Don't use any of those cards on a zebronic PSU its totally a cheap and crappy one and cost about 10$ plus the wattage mentioned as 450 is actually 270 or 300 watt .

hd 7850 is actually better than the r7 260x and gtx 750 ti hd 7850 is an old version of today's r9 270 but still its not good to use with that PSU you will be risking other parts too you should check the ampere on 12+ volt rail the HD 7850 requires a minimum of 21 amps on 12+ volt rail and i dont think the PSU can deliver that .

Its better safe that sorry.

You really need a new PSU, the Zebronics apparently is one of the worst PSU brands, certainly not reliable enough. With a decent 450W PSU you will be able to run that 7850 yeah. Google "PSU tier list" to see which are reliable PSUs, preferably get one of Tier Three or better.
The 7850 OC has similar performace as the 750 Ti, maybe slightly faster, but in some games the 750 Ti will be faster. So it's about equal, so get the cheapest one or the one you like most. You could maybe get a Gigabyte 750 Ti WF which has a blue PCB, as it matches your motherboard haha.
And yes you can connect the 6-pin pci-e cable to a molex converter.

What can I say Mr.Prit,I even don't know what is a 12+ Volt Rail and even more basically,I don't know anything about PSU.So,Can I run the GTX 750 Ti without any Power connectors and that same Crappy Zebronics PSU ? Or Can I go for either the HD 7850 OR the R7 260X and with a better PSU ?

I really need your suggestions for a good 450-500w PSU that we can get in India.

Thank you

If you are in a tight budget then get a corsair vs 450 or 550 they are the cheapest tier 3 PSU you will get in India.

[prit87]
