Suggest a good PC graphics card [Computing] [Times of India](Times of India Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) I am an avid gamer, and would like to buy a new graphics card. Could you please suggest a few options worth considering? --Brenton Sequeira, Pavan Makhija, Ritesh R Since you haven't specified a budget, we will list some cards that stand out under different price points... Under Rs 10,000 For gamers on a budget, we suggest the AMD HD 7770 (1GB), which sells for around Rs 8,500. This card can handle most games at FullHD resolution, though with offerings like Crysis 3 you may have to sacrifice graphics effects for smoother game play. Between Rs 10,000 and Rs 15,000 The AMD HD 7790 (2GB) with a price of around Rs 11,000 gets our vote here. Between Rs 15,000 and Rs 20,000 The Nvidia GTX 760 (2GB) offers fantastic 'value for money' at Rs 20,000. It supports all contemporary games with maximum graphics settings, and has enough horsepower to stay relevant for the next couple of years. Between Rs 20,000 to Rs 30,000 None. No card in this price bracket offers any advantage over the GTX 760. Above Rs 30,000 If you intend to play a game on a 30-inch or 27-inch FullHD monitor, consider the AMD HD 7970 GHz Edition (3GB). Also, the additional RAM in this card could help in future games that might have such memory requirements. (c) 2013 Bennett, Coleman & Company Limited |
