No mate, definitely a big no... You have a nice set of CPU and you'll get to kill it with an 64bit GPU like this.. Better save up for something better! at least one 128bit gpu!
Well i seem to have found a relatively cheap version on a Indian site, but the reviews say that they use "Cheap plastic"
"I did not order this product from flipkart but i would like to clear some points so it will be easy for others to make the purchase.
1) The image they have displayed is of another model. There are TWO models with the same name "SAPPHIRE HD 7770 GHz Edition 1GB GDDR5" even on the manufacturers website. You will be getting the second model which is smaller and not the one which is shown in the image. If possible website manager should replace this image with the other one to clear the confusion.
2) Your Catalyst Control Center will detect this as 7700 Series GPU. See carefully its 7700 SERIES which means your GPU belongs to 7700 series. For actual model, you can use other apps like GPU-Z.
3) They have used cheap plastic... like seriously. I am comparing this to my old cards. Both cover and the circuit board plastic seems cheap so i advise you to use Sapphire TRIXX utility and use custom fan control to keep the temperatures at bay. Example : 0-40dc temp : 30% fanspeed, 40-70dc temp : 30%-100% fanspeed, 70-100dc temp : 100% fanspeed. Yes this will reduce fans life but i would gladly trade my fans life for chips life anytime. Its easy to replace the fan than the burnt chip.
Other than that, its a decent model."
Other reviews also state that the version isn't the one they ordered, but other than that everybody does seem to love the card. I think i may be able to squeeze for it, should i?
