devil_angel Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 I've had ASUS cards all along.. mostly Nvidia except a 9800 Pro.. but not one of them has given up on me. All the systems with them still going strong. Right from a Riva 128 to the 8800GTX I currently use. And yes I've OC'd my Geforce 3 Ti once or so and my 8800GTX plenty. You could give ASUS a look. I thought ASUS cards weren't available in India! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solitaire Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 I thought ASUS cards weren't available in India! As far as I know, they are. The Riva and Geforce 3 were bought in India. I don't know whether I got it through the grey market or an import or something. However, my 8800GTX and a previous 9800 Pro (ATI) were bought in Singapore.

AtheK Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Yes ASUS cards are available in India.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftrunner Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Yeah I have seen tons of Asus cards here. Aside from MSI, Asus is the most common one around in Nehru place. MSI aint bad. I have had their cards crap out on me but the service was acceptable. Although having said that I probably wouldnt buy MSI again unless the price difference was worth it.

dullu Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 I do understand the 6 monthly cycle; but then again, this is why i am gonna upgrade close to the crysis 2 release Also, i do not look to game at very high resolutions with almost every feature on, so i believe this card should do... Also, expect a slew of cards being released close to crysis 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devil_angel Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Is crysis 2 gonna require higher hardware than crysis 1......I doubt it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ΨΨ babloos ΨΨ Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Hate to break it to you bro but by the time Crysis 2 is out you'd have faster cards. The video card biz works on 6 month cycles. Though if I had to buy one today I'd go with the 1GB variant. I remember back in the day the 8800GT 320MB were plenty fast at launch and then 2-3 months later Crysis pwnd it bad. So yes the additional memory and bandwidth do make a difference even though the current benches show them to be close. I'll prolly do an upgrade around Crysis 2. Right now my rig is more than enough for most games. nah current gen cards can handle maximum settings without AA for atleast 2 years.4870/260 can handle almost every game with maximum settings and AA on aprt from crysis/metro 2033/jaust cause u can turn off AA for better performance.btw this are for 1920x1080 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ΨΨ babloos ΨΨ Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 So why are you after the 5850/460 ? nah iam after 5870 or above two with sli/crossfire.i want every game with AA full eye candy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akS ! Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 An ATi HD5850 is for 500 bucks more. Don't see the point of going for a 460 in India. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dullu Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 12.3k i would say the price isn't bad at all!!! unless an importer gets this for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devil_angel Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 An ATi HD5850 is for 500 bucks more. Don't see the point of going for a 460 in India. Jus 500 Rs. more? And it's allegedly cooler than the 460 right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtheK Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 5850 sells for around 16k , and 460 is cooler then 5850, though other 4XX series sux donkey balls... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akS ! Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Jus 500 Rs. more? And it's allegedly cooler than the 460 right? Both have relatively same temps. Unless 3C equals world of a difference for someone. Power consumption at idle is less but at load is more compared to that of 5850. http://www.theitwares.com/powercolor-ax5850-1gbd5mdh-hd5850-gddd5-express-graphic-card-p-320.html - 15.5k Give it few more weeks and it will be down to 460's levels. Price cut is inevitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtheK Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 yup price cut is inevitable, but again it will boil down to personal preferences, at the resolutions we play 460 is a better bang for the money to begin with it cost around 1.5k less and then it gives you that extra eye candy of tesselation, better driver support and ofcourse PHYSX. I can live with around 2-7 fps less, until it hits 30+ fps i am fine, anything above that is anyway a luxury. in the end it depends where your loyalities are, for me its a NV anyday, but for other it would be AMD. But all in all its a great thing that this battle is happening, we as in the consumers are benefitting the most out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtheK Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 also other thing if anyone is looking to buy the card, Zotac is the worst performer, preference should be Asus > EVgA > Zotac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
