Answer
Either for gaming or the programs you want to use, you're not going to make it with either of those cards because they are too weak.

You should be looking at an ATI 6970 or NVidia GTX560ti core 448, at least.

In fact, for the use of your editing stuff, you'd be better off with a Quadro card, but they're bloody expensive ($2000 to $7000) and not fit for gaming...

The rest of your system is okay, except you'd want to go for at least 8GB of RAM for the rendering/editing stuff...

Please Suggest Me A Good Graphic card?

Jitin

My investment is around 3000 Rs. to 4000 Rs. (55 dollars- 72 dollars)

Previous Graphic card - GeForce 9400GT DDR2

I Want better Graphic Card than 9400GT to play games like Max payne , COD black ops 2 etc(upcoming 2013 games) and work in 3d max 2012 without lag!

Pc Specs are :
Intel Core i5-3450 CPU ~ 3.5Ghz
8 Gb ram
Monitor size is 22 inches and 18 inches
OS- window 7

Kindly Suggest me best one in this range :)

Answer
With that range i would wait and raise more money.
For Several Reasons ;
1. There is an Upcoming Graphics card generation on our doorstep , so your card will be outdated before you know it.
2. Running a game smoothly with a card in that range would be hard and it would require you to sacrifice game's graphics in favor of performance.
3. If your monitor is Full HD it is going to be harder than you would think. You would be forced out of your monitor's native resolution in favor of performance. (Be mindful that LCD monitors do not perform well outside of their native resolution.)

Other than that , you have two options ;
Get a HD6670
Alternative option ;
It may be just slightly out of your range but Nvidia GT640 would outperform HD6670.

Second option ;
Get one Hd6670 then raise money to get another then use crossfire to link them and you will get a good graphics performance that would be not far from hd6950's performance which is a high-end card.
Of course if your motherboard supports crossfire by having and additional PCI-E x16 Slot.

Hope i helped.

Cheers!
