Is this video card worth the money?
I am looking to upgrade the video card in my computer however I do not have a lot of money. I was thinking of picking up a EVGA GTS450 video card from my local Fry's Electronics for $100 however I am not sure if this card is worth it.|||Yes that is a good card at a good price, & better than the suggested 9800GT.|||Check the specs at nvidia .com or evga .com guarantee it's worth the price|||Its a good one but GeForce 9800 GT is also a good option, I think.
NVIDIA® GeForce GTS450 for gaming?
How is this card for gaming use? On what kind of settings could it play games such as Dragon Age 2, Portal 2, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, etc?

Thanks!|||first the choice of graphic card depends on the processor you use if intel you go on with NVIDIA and if AMD you need to use ATI RADEON because it AMD-ATI RADEON combination gives more superior performance than AMD-NVIDIA combination
NVIDIA GeForce GTS450 is a good one to play all the games that have released yet and even you can play the battlefield 3(BF 3) in high quality
****but this graphic card will get outdated soon might be within a year or two
so my suggestion is to go on with a higher version
i would suggest you to get either ASUS NVIDIA GTX560 or GTX460 for intel processor and
RADEON HD 6870 or RADEON HD 6850 whose cost is in and around 200$
using the graphic card specified by me you can play easily in 1080 quality !!!!!!:):):):)|||if you want a good one then I recommend The Sapphire Radeon HD 5970. The Sapphire Radeon HD 5970 2GB is perhaps one of the best single video cards out at the moment. This extremely powerful video card has two GPUs on-board and a whopping 2GB of on-board memory. is perhaps one of the best single video cards out at the moment.

I got one too and I highly recommend it|||Its a pretty good card. Great for gaming. High or medium settings for most of the games listed.|||Not bad, i'd grab a GTX 460 though if you can afford it, or a 6850.|||I would go with nvidia. Plus it is one sick a** looking video card :P.
It would do Assassin's Creed Brotherhood on full graphics easy.

Which GPU should i buy GTS450 or GTX 550 Ti?
please dont add other GPU cause this is only available good GPU to my place and i can't order outside so here are those GPU
GTS 450 128bit/DDR5
or
GTX 550 Ti 128bit/DDR3
anyone?|||The GTX550Ti is more up market compared to the GTS450, so that's the one I'd go for, also if you go for EVGA then you should be able to get a superclocked version for alittle extra kick.|||GTX 550 Ti by a long shot, or the much better GTX 560 Ti for a few dollars more|||550 Ti for sure.
GTS 450 128bit/DDR5

Is the hd5770 a good graphics card? I heard it crashes a lot?
I want a good gaming card, I was thinking of the GTS450 or the HD5770 and since the HD5770 is a little bit better I was heading towards that direction. Except I heard it has a driver crash problem and it wasn't very stable? Is it true?
Should I get it or should I get the GTS450 which might not crash?|||The HD 5770 is better than the GTS 450. The driver problems were during the early days (last year and the year before). I remember that my screen went grey once on the 4th day I had this card. But this problem was fixed with new driver updates.
Only downside would be using it on 1920x1080 resolution. It kinda struggles a little. I get screen tearing. A lot of people did complain about this.
Other downside is that it can only achieve up to 60fps. It can't go any higher than that. But I think this is an issue with my computer. I'm not too sure about this one.
If you still think reliability is an issue with the HD 5770 then, wait for the GTS 550 which might be faster than the HD 5770.|||I have three of these graphics card. I have two of them set up in crossfire for a gaming computer and one in an HTPC to play mostly movies.
I have never had a problem with them, even with the older drivers. They have refined the driver 10 or 11 times and I believe you are very safe getting the card.
Enjoy it.|||Own an XFX 5770. Do not game. Couple little issues with it. With the VGA the CPU Clock is about 160MHz. My room sometimes gets real cold. If the GPU temp goes down to about 34C I get a driver display error. Find it kinda of amusing that running too cool would cause this. With a DVI or HDMI the GPU Clock speed is about 400MHz. So even when the room is really cold the GPU temp will not go lower then 37C and not give me any problems. I have run the Furmark Test and have seen the GPU temp go to 96C. Not a problem. Test ran fine. They come out with new drivers about once a month. I always update, not right away and really do not know why I bother, but my computer started restarting. Opened up the dump file and come to find out it was my ATI driver. At the time I was using 10.12's. So uninstalled them and installed 10.10's and the problem went away. Do not get me wrong I like the 5770. Have been told it will run Crysis on higher settings. Hear it is a really GPU intensive game. For all I know the driver problem could have been the result of a bad download and/or install. All I can do is tell you my experiences with it. Hope this helps. Good Luck.|||The HD 5770 is a card folks like to over-clock because the 5770,s are good at it, anything that gets over-clocked is going to crash or hang when it reaches its limit, all of the 5 series cards are stable in my experience when run at or close to stock speeds, I ran my 5 series VGA for a year and never had a single crash that originated from the GPU or the AMD drivers, good luck..|||you shouldn't have issues, if the driver is crashing constantly, that could be a bad card, i have had it happen before (was an nvidia for the record). Just pick what you think is the right card performance wise, they are all fairly reliable.

Please can anyone tell me the price of ati 5770 , 5830 , GTS450 in INR.
Please dont just convert the $ into Rs. cause there is a huge diff in them.|||Radeon HD 5770 costs around Rs.8000-10000 depends on the manufacturer and versions.some OC Models cost bit high.check this link.
http://www.smcinternational.in/index.php…
as for GTS 450,cost around RS.6800 minimum.
http://www.smcinternational.in/index.php…
I would say avoid the HD 5830.it does not worth its price.you can get better cards like GTX 460 or even better Radeon HD 6870 by slightly more cost.
currently,Radeon HD 6850 is better buy than all of this cards,costs around RS.11000 and have much better tessellation power than any HD 5xxx series cards.it can be overclocked good as well to match the performance of Radeon HD 6870.will handle all games on 1920x1080 and maximum graphical settings.its performance is equivalent to Geforce GTX 460 1 GB version from nvidia.
http://www.smcinternational.in/index.php…|||yes , above prices r rt
i will recommend
MSI R6850 PM2D1GD5 Graphics Card @ 10800 Rs
http://www.smcinternational.in/index.php…
if u r on budget , then
MSI R5770 Hawk Graphics Card @ 8200 Rs
http://www.smcinternational.in/index.php…
avoid 5830 , when u can get 6850 HD at lower price performing close to 5850
also don't compare GTS 450 with these cards , GTS 450 is equivalent to HD 5750 performancewise
if u want to compare above graphic cards performance wise then here is a chart for u

Will my system support GIGABYTE Geforce GTS450?
I'm using Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 3.17 Ghz|||hi kris
as long as your motherboard has a pci-express x16 bus (slot ) and you have a 450w or better power supply ( with 26A or more on the +12v rails ) you will be able to use the GIGABYTE Geforce GTS450 in your pc
in regards to your processor the Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 is still a capable processor.... and will work well with the GTS450...... however do remember you need 2gb of ram or more to get the best out of this card.... its not essential,you can actually run this card with just 1gb of ram..however games will run better with 2gb or more of ram
finally you should also ensure you pc has adequate cooling as all decent graphic cards especially nvidia based cards get pretty warm when gaming.... however a side mounted fan and a exhaust fan at the back of your pc should be enough to remove hot air from the case
however the more cooling the better.... and some cases such as the Coolermaster HAF 912 ( http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Component… ) .. the HAF stands for high air flow and this range of cases are popular among pc enthusiasts as it has some of the best cooling set ups in the business..... this case is the entry level HAF ... however you can get bigger versions with even better cooling
so as long as you meet the requirements as mentioned above you will be able to safely run the GIGABYTE Geforce GTS450 in your system
i hope this helps kris,any questions let me know
good luck mate !|||Yep, as long as you have a power supply with a 6-pin pci-e adapter.|||yes no problem.

Is nVidia GTS450 1GB Graphics Card Good?
I would say it is the minimum for today games. Plus you could eventually upgrade and use it as a physx card.
The ati 5750 is the competitor model. Unlike other crossfire combination the 5750 like the 5770 tend to shine.|||Yeah that's pretty good.
