This is the card : http://www.xfxforce.com/web/product/...urationId=9215
Should I go for 6600gt 128mb DDR3 or 6600gt 256mb DDR? If anyone could give price for both, then it would be helpful.
Or if u could suggest an ATI AGP CARD of same category. Budget 14k - 16K.
My pc config:
P4 PRESCOTT 3.0GHz
INTEL 865GBF
512mb ddr 400MHz Ram
400 watt Powersafe SMPS. |
The XFX 256MB DDR 6600GT will be a bottleneck as it has 128-bit interface. For proper utilization of the 128-bit inferface, the 128MB card is sufficient. The 256MB version does not give a huge boost in performance over the 128MB DDR3 version. So I think the extra money is a waste. That can be invested in say, buying some more RAM.
I see that you are from Kolkata. 8) I am also from Kolkata. You can visit Saboo or Lalani Computers in Chandi Chowk and they can give you a good deal. Infact Saboo had qouted a price of Rs.10200 for the 128MB version around 3 months back.
By the way, do you intend to visit Compass 2005, the biggest IT exhibition in eastern india? It is currently going on at Netaji Indoor Stadium from 21st to 24th october. I think buying from Compass will give you a fair deal. I intend to visit it tomorrow. 8)
