Advice Needed On Upgrade!

[AlphaX]

I think its time to buy a graphics card as my Intel hd graphics cant handle anymore

so I`m thinking to buy one but I`m confused between the HD 7750 (is around 151$) , GTX 550 Ti (172$)

and the newly released GTX 650 which is still not available but i can wait though,

and i have problem also with the psu so i need a power efficient that it should not require

any external power , as 550 ti requires one but due to performance i can suffice that

please advice which has the best performance and power efficiency

What's your resolution and budget? Also, what kind of performance are you expecting? (E.g a 45FPS average at Crysis 2 Textures pack in High settings or something like that)

Based on what you have posted the GTX 650 is a solid choice.

Presently, I'm in India, and I know some situation over there. So, I would suggest you two options. Either you can buy HD7770, or wait for the release of GTX650.

Oh yeah India So i wanted to do max 1600x900 lower will suffice and i just want the game to be played i dont concern about the performance I like to buy with longevity like it play the games till the time and once i buy it will be not sooner before 2-3 years i get the new one

I'd say the 650 probably offer the best performance out of the 3. With it, any games should be playable at medium - low settings (at 1600x900 res).

How's the used market for parts, you maybe be able to get a stronger last gen card perhaps?

Uh-huh. In India, the used part selling scenario is totally different.

You're telling me he'd pay more for an equivalent or stronger card that's older used??

[AlphaX]

Actually he is right , there's very less market for gaming in here and if you got any last gen card like hd6xxx or 5xx expect it will have any problem that's why its being sold because people here only want the games to be played and are not concerned with the performance or quality

 

 

and so if you're talking about please tell if is 550 ti performance is greater

Yes!! (Although I don't have much idea about it)

 

and so if you're talking about please tell if is 550 ti performance is greater

 

Don't buy 550ti. Its power consumption is high.

Wait for GTX650, and then decide which one to buy.

then its done either 7750 or 650

and what about the performance of 7770 its a bit costly now but I'm considering to but the 7750 double dissipation I think its cool
