[RETIRED] WHAT TO BUY ? : Need buying advice, ask here!

[gow3]

I'm honking of making an extreme pc this time. But should I sli it with two gtx560's or 6870 6890's?

 

[sunny945]

don't even think about 68xx get a 560 or 560ti

 

[gow3]

Which one is better. 560ti or 560? I want ultra hd graphics on my new computer so like resolutions of 2560x1600. Would that be possible with this card?

GTX 560 Ti is better, if you're going for multiple GPU config run HD 6870 in crossfire they're just awesome.

 

[gow3]

Will that give me better resolutions if I crossfire 6870?

Found this comparison for you:

These cards (the sapphire HD 6870) seem great value and will give you supurb performance if you can afford 2:

Metro 2033 - Gamer - Medium Settings (1680x1050, AAA, 4xAF)


2 x HD 6870 in crossfire = 121.5 fps : (total cost Rs.39000)
Single GTX 580 AMP! = 109 fps : (total cost Rs.104000)


2 x HD6870 = much better and far cheaper than single GTX580

Metro 2033 - Enthusiast - Very High Settings (1920x1080, 4xMSAA, 16xAF)


2 x HD 6870 in crossfire = 48 fps : (total cost Rs.39000)
Single GTX 580 AMP! = 38.50 fps : (total cost Rs.104000)


2 x HD6870 = much better and far cheaper than single GTX580

i m on e7500 wid asus p5g41t mlx nd evga 9800gt
i m going to upgrade i m not a fan of overclocking
all i need is games should run smoothly in high graphics
whether i3 2100 or i5 2400 though there is about 7k price diff in both...
and if i upgrade to i3 or i5 i still need gpu ??
nd i am also price concious....​

stock hsf would work fine wid i3 2100 or i5 2400

Guys! am looking for a soundcard which supports win 7 and can support front panel audio ports, should be PCI

 

[Beelzebub]

which one is better?

Sb0790 or Creative Audigy 2 ZS Platinum

Getting both in almost similar price

 

[Baghi]

Will that give me better resolutions if I crossfire 6870?

Of course, HD 6870 is AMD/ATi's best price/performance GPU of this generation so far. It also scales better than anything in crossfire and costs less. It can compete to GTX 580 and HD 5970 which are far more expensive than 2 x HD 6870s.

Grab it if you can afford it else a single GPU will be good in case you're limited on budget. Which motherboard do you have?

bro what you need is a good graphics card not a processor
i am using e7400 with a good graphic card and there isnt a game i couldnt run in medium settings till now that is . So investinG a a good gpu is advisable as for now n then upgrade in 3months time when the current line of processors in much cheaper .

Salam,

Actually m going to purchase a card but i m confused b/w two:

MSI GTX 560-Ti Twin Frozr II/OC 880Mhz
MSI GTX 560-Ti Hawk Twin Frozr III/OC 950Mhz

Both have same specs but prices difference is about 6000-PKR

The difference is only their core clocked, cheaper one is clocked upto 880Mhz and expensive one clocked upto 950Mhz

But due to prices diff, if i purchase then due to less budget m unable to buy Kingston hyperX DDR3 1600Mhz RAM (

But if i buy 880Mhz version, i can buy RAm in that budget, so plz gamers help meeeeee :'(

 

[AbbY]

Get Twin Frozr and overclock it.

Secondly, why are you going for HyperX 1600Mhz?

I see no use of them if you're going to use a Sandy Bridge processor.

Even the Value RAM will work perfectly fine for you in real time performance. Get it only if you're a benchmarking junkie.

 

[taimoorali007]

Hmm!!

Its its like saved about 3000-PKR yippee Thnx.
and now m going for Twin Frozr 880mhz vrsn! Cheaper than hawk better than my previous gt 220 DDR2

And yea i hv sandy bridge Core i5 2400 so i should go for simple Kingston DDR3 which is available at Galaxy Computers i thinks cost about 3700-PKR for 4Gx2.

Now i can save money and can buy Razer Deathadder by adding some more money!!

Thnx Bro for helping me! Now i can get more in lil!

Thanks Again!

Ask Spyder about it. He bought it recently.
And it's a much much better board man. Miles ahead of Intel.
