Default Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

hi techies... i want to buy a gfx card (pci-e) for my pc. i hav budget of 15000. wot bst can i get??? the choices are 6800gs,6800gt,7600gs,7600gt from nvidia n x800xl,x800xt,x1600,x1800 from ati. i wanted to know the price n wanted to know that wot is a all in wonder card... is it costlier n wot features does it has.

Recently I hav heard some new terms in graphics card. I m teling my experience abt it

a. SLI n CROSSFIRE
I hav hrd this term sli from nvidia in which we can put two graphics card on a motherboard. But sine in sli we hav to put two exactly same card so its useless. In crossfire we can put two cards of different model ( but only of ati as I hav heard …is that true???). so this makes some sense. So does a crossfire motherboard cost too much???? Which r the models n cost???

b. PPU
This is sumthing that I hav heard in latest edition of digit. It’s a physics processing unit. It controls the laws of physics in a gameplay. I wanted to know that is it sum kind of other card that is to b placed on mobo or is a feature in graphics card??? If it’s a different card that which slot it uses n wot is the cost of this card.??? I hav also heard that we can force this ppu to a simple graphics card only. So that makes a sence of buying a crossfire compatible mobo so that when I buy a new gpx card … I’ll force the ppu calculations to older graphics card. Moreover can ne 1 give me list of gpx cards that can do pu calculations.


plz reply me guyz...@digitized
