Title: Graphic card on budget !
Post by: JoeKkerr on July 09, 2012, 06:08:34 AM
hey guys..after a long time

i am actually here because i am confused between some graphic cards

i am a brand loyal man..so i always choose Nvidia
my basic purpose is

1] Counter Strike Global offensive (when it comes out)
2] Nvidia 3d Vision

These are my choices :-

a] Nvidia GTX550 ti 1gb
    I've researched enough to understand that Gb's in GPU mean nothing and just for marketing purpose
    this is a card that is totally for budget gamers..i have seen some videos about this cards and its
    benchmarks...it can run most of games at high and ultra settings

b] Nvidia GTX560 [NON-Ti]
    Yes, because ti version is out of my budget...i've read somewhere that buy this card if you're gonna
    game at high resoultions or else get a GTX550 ti...it obviously outperforms 550ti but i wanna save
    some money here.

This is the HWCOMPARE.com (http://www.hwcompare.com/10975/geforce-gtx-550-ti-vs-geforce-gtx-560/) link that i saw for reference..i know these results are just theoritical

c] Suggest if any

My second query is of Nvidia 3d Vision
as i am looking forward to it i wanted to know its requirements ..as far as i know..
1] 120HZ monitor (I have ...its a CRT monitor  ;D)
2] nvidia 3d Vision (I dont have)
3] 3d Supported Graphic card (I am gonna buy)

pls let me know if u guys know any more

PS: NO I dont want any AMD card...so no posts about AMD\ATI

Why limit yourself to nVidia ? Seriously?

ATI cards outperform nVidia cards on a lower budget.

A $200 ATI Radeon will probably be faster than a $200 nVidia card.

(Before people have a go, I know there are exceptions to this.)

Quite a few as a matter of fact.

Because Nvidia 3D vision is not supported by ATI cards

No, but ATI offer their own 3D cards.. why limit yourself with nVidia? I don't find nVidia's 3D particularly good, personally. And 3D is hardly used and severely overated.
