With New year approaching here is a list of graphics cards you can purchase for your new Gaming Rig in 2015 / 2016. We have listed both AMD and Nvidia graphics cards which are best value for money and offer excellent performance in latest gaming titles like Far Cry 4 , Assassin’s Creed, Battlefield 4 and Crysis 3 etc. It is great time to buy new graphics cards with prices getting dropped in the Indian market & elsewhere. After the launch of GTX 980 and GTX 970 we have seen some price correction happening in the high end graphic cards.
AMD has also slashed prices of 290X and 280X to match the aggressive pricing of GTX 970.
We will focus in this article only on the start and low mid range graphics cards upto Rs.10,000 or $ 150. At the low end there are several choices like GT 730 and Gt 740 and AMD R7 – 250. The list here is created based on the online prices, retail prices may vary for these cards in local markets and depending upon the country and region.
One more note of caution to the buyers in this range you don’t need more than 2 GB of graphics card if you are gaming for a resolution at 1366*768 or 1600*900. In fact the 4GB version of a GT 630 or GT 640 is a marketing gimmick and will not offer better performance compared to a 2 GB version of GT 630 or GT 640. You can read this article to understand how much VRAM is required.
Also while recommending we have chosen some of the brands which are available for a discounted price online. You can buy the same model as we have recommended or any other brand based on your preference.
Our views are neutral and purely based on the performance or price of graphics cards. As we step up from Nvidia GT 730 the gaming performance will increase by 5-10 FPS or more. Regarding different brand cards in this range, most of the reference coolers are sufficient for managing heat. The cooling issue is more prominent with graphics cards like HD 7970 or HD 7950 or AMD R9 290X or similar high end cards where it makes more sense to buy a graphics card with better cooler or brand.

Naveed bro ,
U can go for Nvidia Gtx 750 Ti cause it will give u around 50-55 fps at high settings in GTA 5 plus 25-35 fps in crisis 3.For the monitor if u want best and crisp display under 5k go for the LG 16 Inch LED Monitor priced at Rs-4989.

Try the option of restore windows to an earlier time it may fix this issue
I got an error message that my PC ercnunteoed problems and would be shut down. Would I like to send a report to Microsoft. Sine then, I am having start menu problems. The start menu items appears to have lost association with file paths. The only start item I still have an association with is for the desktop. Everything on the desktop seems to work fine. How do I repair the start menu.
you can go for the Nvidia 750 Ti or the AMD R9 370 in this price range …

can look at the 750 ti or the AMD R7 260 or 260X which fits in your budget, you can buy AMD FX 6300 or the Core i3 intel depending upon the motherbaord you have 🙂
HEY BRO Kanuj….i just wana know somethig about my pc i will upgrade it… to higher level ..i want to buy a gpu that is best for new titels ….mad max ,fifa 16, batman arkam knight etc …with resolation of 1336×768 …setting-high FPS-60…must…buget -honestly no idea about buget i think it will be under rs 10000 because resolation is not very high…so ……reply fast need to upgrade …i have …8 gb ram…and also suggest a good quad core or hexa core under rs 8000..i have 8gb ram
chances are 50-50 in your case – your cpu is weak you can try it with the 750 Ti once if it works you need not upgrade else u will have to buy mobo, ram and processor. wait some more and upgrade all together will be best advise.
