Info about the gfx card

hi i am purchasing a gfx card first time. my system specs are-:

1. Gigabyte motherboard g31 chipset
2. Intel pentium d 3.0GHz proccessor
3. 1.5GB of ram having speed of 667MHz
4. corsair vx450w psu
5. Lg 18.5" Lcd screen

My budget is upto 6K max. and i want atleast 1gb card, but i can choose 512MB card if good option is available in this range.

sell pentium d , get E5300 investing 2k , get 4670 for 4k total 6k , pentium d is crap for gaming .

but at this time i only want a good graphics card after sometime i will upgrade my proccy

Totally agree with Roboghost. Pentium D will bottleneck the HD4670, Please shift to the Supreme VFM Cpu: E5300
(45nm, Gr8 performance, highly OCable, low power consumption, low cost, no need to upgrade soon)

If you want to stick to your decision no matter what, then buy Zotac 9800GT 512MB @ 5.4k = Best VFM G.Card in the market currently and Enough for gaming on an 18.5inch LCD. BUT, your Pentium D will highly hinder its performance.

ok if i upgrade my proccy then suggest me the card in nvidia geforce

Zotac 9800GT is actually Nvidia Geforce 9800GT manufactured by Zotac. Its a good company with nice A.s.s. and VFM pricing. Go for it.

bump..............

...replied.

ok but what are the choices in 6k budget in which i upgraded my proccy from this budget. Give suggestions for nvidia based card

Thats your only choice in 5k-6k bracket
6k-7k: Powercolor Ati HD4850 HDMI @ Rs. 6600
In nvidia, higher options are: Nvidia Geforce GTS 250, GTX 260 Core 216, GTX 275, and so on.. Though none of these is required for 18.5inch LCD.

ok thanx but answer one more query of me. I am unable to post in market section, can you tell me the reason.

You're welcome
You need 25/35 posts atleast to make it to the market section.

ohhhhh thanx

This is more or less the perfect recommendation for the TS.

Hello,
I would suggest you give this a read:-

You're asking for suggestions, that's what you are getting. Try not to set parameters/limiters when you ask questions. Since you decided to post here, accept the judgement of the people replying to your query.

1)Your Pentium D will horribly bottleneck any ~6k card. If you are going to "upgrade later", why not upgrade the GPU later as well? You'll possibly get a better product cheaper.

2)The HD4670 will max. out most games on a 19 inch display when paired with an E5xxx class processor.

3)The upgrades suggested above fit your budget. I see no reason to not go ahead with it.

4)The Nvidia equivalent to the 4670, the 9600GT costs a bit more, uses more power and offers very little performance gain over the HD 4670 to get a recommendation.

If you have any other queries or some other upgrade plans in the near future, please do post about them.

PS: If you must purchase a more expensive card, go with the Zotac(Nvidia) 9800GT, or a 4850 if you can raise your budget a bit as suggested above by sato1986.

As usual, the great presentation and great advice
But, please note: HD4670 will NOT max games released in 2009. By that i mean 50+ FPS wont be achieved on most 2009 games when set at Max graphics. Hence Geforce 9800GT is much better/optimal for 19" (also noting that you like nvidia more than ati). Rest of the info is totally agreed upon.
