using x20 led budget around 7 k for used card
a second hand HD4870 512MB would be the ideal choice
It can be found for 8k Rs

If u cannot get a hold of it then GTS250 is the second option

Best ATi card in 7k is 512mb 4870 (Best in 7k) or His 512mb 4850 Iceq4 for 6k.
In 8k you can easily find a 1GB 4870..(The best choice if you can stretch ur budget to 8k)
Best Nvidia card in 7k is 1GB GTS 250

well if it were me i would never prefer an old used gpu with so much failure chances. if it gets kaput it means u have thrown ur 7k for junk. I would rather buy a new card like 6570 for 7500/-

the only new card that is even worth considering in this price range is HIS HD5670 ICEQ DDR5 for Rs8800 and quite specifically the DDR5 Version

Anything less than that doesnt have the power to run anything -.-

Completely agree with hasanJ HD5670 ddr3 version is same as HD 5570 with increase clock only so in 7k buying used hd4870 or gts250 is the best option for Thread opener.

In July 2008 Nvidia released a refresh of the 9800 GTX: 9800 GTX+ (55 nm manufacturing process). It has faster core (738 MHz) and shader (1836 MHz) clocks. Since March 2009 this design is manufactured as GeForce GTS 250.
link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeForce_9_Series

so
gts250 = 9800gtx+ > 9800gt

and according to this
http://www.gpureview.com/show_cards.php?card1=606&card2=566
gts250 is better in (Memory bandwidth, Pixel Fill Rate & Texture Fill Rate) than HD 4850

gts250 is good for you dear IMO.

@OP: the gts250 competes with ati4850.
the ati4870 is bout 30 ~ 40 % better and faster than both the gts250 and ati4850.

if you understand the risks of used stuff, then buy a 4870, you'll be happy with your purchase .
else if you want a new card, then go with (as hasanJ has suggested) HIS HD5670 ICEQ DDR5.

previously used hd4670 GDDR4 512MB and used to play fifa 11 only
my specs are e6500 dual core, 2GB DDR2 XMS2, 500W Extreme Power, HP X20 LED now want to buy another card which will perform better.
budget around 5-6k as i m not a hardcore gamer just wana play FIFA 12 and sometimes NFS, Videos and Browsing.
What about 9800 GT available on iamextreme around 7.5k new is it a good upgrade and in used how much it will cost.

    BTW, i started Ghost of Tsushima, and it got me hooked within the first couple of minutes. I already know It's gonna be a memorable experience. This is how you make a proper Samurai game. Not that SJW game Ubisoft is making.

    That's still higher than it's total play length. A 5 hour campaign for a $50 game is downright scammy.

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.
    The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lol

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    Both PS and Xbox have been a flop this gen as they can barely maintain 30 fps in a lot of AAA games th.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
