*Rise from your grave ...*

 

Good day sa inyo.
Update lang sa aking plan upgrade which until now hindi pa rin nangyayari. But fortunately, graduated na mga kapatid ko.
anyway, enough of my story.
for the topic...

I'm still planning to upgrade the GPU.
Same specs pa rin ng MoBo, PSU at CPU.

Currently, I'm eyeing for HD6870.
ang tanong ko lang, if ever mag-upgrade ako ng whole rig by next year, you guys think this one worth it? especially sa mga current games. or should I save more for some higher cards like Radeon 7000 series?
I'm not aiming for those Ultra video settings in 1080p resolutions. Full HD lang siguro, okay na.

ang plano ko kasi, mag-upgrade talaga ng whole rig. pero dahil mahirap mag-ipon, unahin ko GPU para ma-install na sa current rig ko.

so yun. any opinions, recommendations, or anything words are welcome. 

Salamat.

Nagpost pala ko dito hehe.

anyway from 5770, last year nagswitch ako to 6870 and graphics-wise, it could still play most games @ max or high settings @ 1080p resolution. Pwera na lang siguro Far Cry 3 na talagang medium lang ako nakakakuha ng decent framerates. Still at medium settings, that has to be one of the best graphics na nalaro ko.. Anyway, i paired it with an i3 na lga1156 OCd to 4.2ghz

because of an upgrade itch, binenta ko siya exactly one year later last june. Currently planning to get a 660ti or 7870 but i'm holding back kasi gusto ko makita kung may pagbabago paglabas ng next gen consoles.

Re: Witcher 2, i'd say between medium to high ang decent framerates niya with a 6870.

If you're worried about bottlenecks, halos di na rin ganun ka-ramdam ang performance loss sa cpu-intensive games.. for now. I think with your current overall setup, 6870 is a viable choice. But if you're aiming for an immediate future mass upgrade then dun na ako - switch to a quad core proc and at least a 7870 kasi nga from there onwards ang basehan ng next gen games.

kung gusto mo ng tipid sa kuryente, mag AMD ka. i prefer NVIDIA though. malakas lang sa kuryente LOL

[IWM]

pare, good luck! post ka kagad sa fb pati sample gameplay ng bago mong games hehe

eheheh. bigla ko lang binuhay itong thread since ayoko na gumawa ulit ng bago.
anyway, yun nga po iniisip ko. I've seen reviews and videos about 6870. ang problema, may konting kalumaan na siya. kaya baka hindi na pumantay kung makapag-upgrade ako ng whole rig.
I might save for a HD7000 na lang. medyo mabigat nga lang para sa akin. ehehhe.
salamat po sa advice. ^_^

pare, good luck! post ka kagad sa fb pati sample gameplay ng bago mong games hehe

ahahah. oo. sa mga napapanuod ko kasing tech tips, napaglumaan na talaga ang rig ko base sa standard ngayon.
ang dami din game dito na hindi namin nalalaro dahil hindi kaya.
matuloy lang ang GPU, naku...wiwi na lang ang pahinga ko. 

kung gusto mo ng tipid sa kuryente, mag AMD ka. i prefer NVIDIA though. malakas lang sa kuryente LOL

may ganung factor pala on both cards. 
ang alam ko lang, yung 3D ng Nvidia at yung Eyefinity ng AMD eh. ehehe.
salamat din sa tip.

[Pierro7]

sabi ng pinsan ko...
power color hd7770 1gb DDR pcie 128bit
PhP 5,250 sa PCX.

okay na kaya 'yan.
power color kasi eh. ahahha

[IWM]

sabi ng pinsan ko...

yes. i have a power color HD7770. very good performance

[Pierro7]

yes. i have a power color HD7770. very good performance

so, okay lang siya if ever mag-update ako ng buong rig?
kumbaga, hindi siya mapag-iiwanan? 

[Pierro7]

yes. i have a power color HD7770. very good performance

di po ba, kayo nagpost nung Medal of Honor with that video card?
pwede na nga. 

tanong ko lang po sa nakakaalam...

ano po yung GHz at DC sa mga GPU na ito at yung 128bit?
Asus HD7770 DC 1gb ddr5 128bit
PowerColor HD7770 GHz Edition 1GB GDDR5

dami kong tanong about GPU. 

[Smitty Werben Man Jensen]

Ghz edition is the same as the OC edition na naming scheme ng card manufacturers = Overclocked at factory default. Higher core and memory clock speeds than the regular ones.

Honestly, the 7770 is still slower than a 6870 overall. But at least makakabili ka ng brand new. 6870 kasi phased out na. If you're comfortable in purchasing used units then go for a 6870. Mas malakas lang siya sa kuryente compared to a 7770.

DC.. hmm eto yung asus? DC alam ko direct contact sa gpu yung heatpipes ng HSF niya.

Bit rate = think of it as a bridge linking the GPU and the video memory, higher bit rate mas mabilis ang flow so yes, higher bitrate is better.. and more expensive.

Kung mag-mass upgrade ka at either dun sa 2 card na yun gamit mo, di naman yan gagapang sa performance. Pero siyempre di mo lang ma-max out yung graphics quality ng future games. Kung matotolerate mo naman na ganun, pwede na yang cards na yan.

salamat, sir.
plano ko na rin kunin yung 7770.
mura lang kasi sa PC Express eh. 
pwede ako magpakuha sa pinsan ko.

at hindi rin naman ako hard core gamer na Ultra ang settings.
I'm content with High settings and a higher framerate.

[Pierro7]

mga ka-espiya,

ano ang opinion niyo sa dalawang ito?

MSI HD7770 OC 1GB ddr5 128bit
http://pcx.com.ph/msi-hd7770-oc-1gb-ddr5-128bit.html

or

MSI GTX N650 OC 1GB ddr5 128bit
http://pcx.com.ph/msi-n650gtx-pe-1gd5-oc-128bit.html

[Smitty Werben Man Jensen]

Since both OC ed, i'd still go for the 7770 unless it's a gtx 650ti.

nagbasa pa ako about Ti. 
I might go with HD7770 nga kung ganun ang kaso.
salamat po. 

[Pierro7]

mga ka-espiya.
salamat sa pagtulong.
Already got a Power Color HD7770.
wala kasing MSI sa MOA Branch ng PC Express.

hanap lang ako ng game recorder at ishe-share ko dito ang mga preview ng mga game under high or ultra settings. 

eto pala yung mga in-install ko kahapon:

Tomb Raider
Skyrim
Call of Juarez
Blades of Time
Dota 2
League of Legends Ph
DmC
Kingdoms of Amalur
Krater

and many more. 

salamat ulit sa mga nagpayo. ^_^
isang natupad na pangarap ito.
manigyak-ngiyak kami ng kapatid ko habang tinetest yung mga laro ... in High or Ultra Settings.
tears of joy ...

[Smitty Werben Man Jensen]

that satisfying feeling of playing games in high quality settings for the first time.. familiar haha

naalala ko tuloy yung first decent card namin ng brother ko, a geforce4 ti4600. Ganyan din kami nung una gamitin lol

restart na nga lang ngayon ang pahinga ng pc namin. 
nagkataon na malapit na bumigay ang isang HDD ko. almost 5 years na rin kasi.
at ... ang hirap makahanap ng maayos na video recording tool. 

[bodieph]

video recording tool? like fraps?

[Pierro7]

video recording tool? like fraps?

yes sir. naghahanap ako ng free.
so far, mga nakita ko, low quality ang na-create na video.
or maybe hindi lang talaga kaya ng rig ko. 

[IWM]

ok naman ang fraps kaso di kaya ng internet ko iupload yung raw recording ^_^
try mo

[Smitty Werben Man Jensen]

after 2 months of IGP and no pc gaming, got myself a 7870 instead of a 660ti. back to gaming na rin!

[bodieph]

ok naman ang fraps kaso di kaya ng internet ko iupload yung raw recording ^_^
try mo

inconvert kasi muna ang video, sobrang laki ng mga videos ng fraps, a 3min video mga GB na filesize nyan, uploading that will take a long time and besides pag upload nyan, youtube will just convert it again

yup that's what i did. there was a significant loss in quality, di ma appreciate yung mismong pinapakita mo sa performance nya.
