ALPHA17 Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Hello Leo, that card is not worth the money you are about to spend on it. Better get a AMD HD6670 or AMD HD5770 (1GB V-RAM) and you will have similar performance and a brand new card. Where are you based and what is your budget for a graphic card, also please tell us the rest of your PC configuration (including OS). Finally your SMPS is not so good and by that I mean it is a bad piece of hardware and I cannot recommend you to put any expensive components on it. Welcome to iVG, hope this answers your query, Cheerio! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anubhav992 Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 if he reduces the price...then it should be fine... The GFx card is realllyyy old....but was a pretty good one at its time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPHA17 Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 The GFx card is realllyyy old....but was a pretty good one at its time.... To be precise almost a five year old card. At its current price it is useless to invest in it, the performance to power draw is pathetic. No point buying it now. I doubt the price would go below ~4000/- bucks and even after a price drop not worth it, might as well pony up some extra and get a newer generation card.

ALPHA17 Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 You are purchasing the components in India, right, suggest that you go for the following -- nVidia GTX650 or Sapphire AMD HD7750 (900MHz) ~8000/- Corsair CX v2 430W ~2700/- Your PC components (processor, motherboard and RAM) are old and thereby they will hold back your experience substantially. So suggest that you plan a comprehensive upgrade instead of just the graphic card for now. Hope this helps, Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varundbest Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 considering his 4k budget, isnt 10.7k too much increment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPHA17 Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 ^^ Varun he PM'ed me his details, that is why I have put this up and advised him about a comprehensive overhaul rather than a piecemeal increment that may or may not benefit him in the long run.
