This article is incomplete and infact the GPU sellers like Forsa and sparkle are low grade
You haven’s mentioned about ATI HD5670 which is still a good buy
And one more point i would like to add is “GBs” will never make you card anything better :/
I never expected such dull article from this cool site 🙁
Thumbs down
Hi Amaan,
We will consider your request to add ATI HD 5670 into the list. But as per market price, it costs Rs: 6300 now 🙂 Our article was under Rs:5000 🙂 Thank you.
Hello Amaan , as i mentioned earlier in the post these gpus were chosen keeping casual pc users in mind i have an upcoming article on better gpus also the 5670 costing around 5-6 k for the dd3 version i just chose the gpus that kept the price level as close to 5k as possible .. i had already planned 5670 for my next article on better cards as the dd3 version of 5670 is older and ati has now ddr5 versions out for 5670 which is a little costlier so the price range varies . And you need to bother about these cards if you are not interested as these are for the ppl who are buying a pc and have an additional 3-4 k where in they can slip in a gpu. Wait for the post that has Hard Core gpus in it .. it will be up in a day or 2…
Also 5450 is an option for the ppl only who have an extra 3k in hand and not more than that..
Also amaan i knw that it dosnt matter i just m making a post for memory as usually ppl who have to GAME WONT go for SUCH CHEAP cards memory is for the PEOPLE WHO USE RENDERING SOFTWARES like CINEMA 4D and After Effects where in an EXTRA MEMORY will add an extra chip for BETTER previewing :S ive gone thru rendering failures due to low memory on gpus when im rendering a 15-20 minute MONTAGE having around 10k frames :/ U Know CUDA by nvidia? why do softwares use that? for additional acceleration in performance and additional memory helps the rendering…
please tell. which is best for gaming? nvidia or Radeon?
There are couple of DDR5 memory GPUs available in market under and about 5k INR.It would have been better if you would have discussed about it too..
