XFX 7600GT AGP or Leadtek 7600GT AGP

[g_goyal2000]

Hi Guys.
I'm planning to buy a new AGP card in place of my old nVidia 5200 AGP.
I have decided on a nVidia 7600 GT based AGP card cos it's better then 7800GS, cheap & available. And also cheaper than an ATI x1950 which I would die for. XFX & Leadtek are the only ones who make 7600 GT based AGP cards.
So, which one should I buy?
An XFX 7600GT or a Leadtek 7600GT?
What's their warranty terms in India? Any authorized service centre in New Delhi?

Are you telling that according to the company's reputation or the product?

More like brand and performance... me too recommend the XFX one ..

[yogi_7272]

i have seen quite a few reviews of leadtek 7600 gt agp online .. all of those recommended it .. faster than 7800 gs ..

not seen any review of xfx one ..

in case of xfx..after sale support will be better .. but i would i go for a card which is cheaper.. :)
what are the prices quoted ?

If no more Info is given, Leadtek usually makes better cards, I'd go with it. Most probably u are looking at the most basic versions of those cards, in any case, I'd go with Leadtek

One more vote for Leadtek.

[vivek404]

are XFX 7600GT AGP or Leadtek 7600GT AGP available in India(Mumbai preferably)?, if yes, where & at what prices?

[g_goyal2000]

What are the after-sales support options on both the cards?
Well, in Nehru Place, Delhi, I was told nvidia 7600 for about 8000-8500.
What I don't know is that whether it's GT or GS.
Also, don't what company he was offering cos the card wasn't on display & he said that he'll get me one.
Will be going tomorrow to Nehru Place again. Will clarify the details then.

@ g_goyal2000

7600GT agp were not available in mumbai some 2 mnths ago(last time i checked). hope u do find them in delhi. the GT cards are have a huge improvement over thier GS siblings. i too am interested in buying one 7600GT agp.

[g_goyal2000]

If I get a GS, then I would buy 7800GS.
If I get a GT, then I would buy 7600GT cos 7600GT is better than 7800GS. 7600GT delivers better performance than 7800GS.

^^is the 7600GTagp is as good as the pcie? I know pice is better but what i mean is is the xfx company good in agp cards? Yes XFX branded products are very good even in AGP version cards.

XFX is good, they are cheap cos they don't bundle software

[caleb]

XFX is good, they are cheap cos they don't bundle software I agree

and how exactly does that make it better than the other card, u use the card does not mean it's the best

[caleb]

and how exactly does that make it better than the other card, u use the card does not mean it's the best Me using the card does not make it better but I vouch for the performance of 7600GT instead of 7800GS...my nephew uses 7800GS, after comparing the two is how I decided to go with 7600GT . Also pls note that I did not claim that me using 7600GT makes it the "best"...the word "best" or "better" was not used in my post you are referring to...pls read the post carefully.

XFX is known for the stability nd quality memory. U can see XFX cards oc better than most.

@g_goyal2000, so did u manage to find any AGP GTs?

[g_goyal2000]

@g_goyal2000, so did u manage to find any AGP GTs?Sorry abt that. I didn't get a chance to go.
Actually, my hard disk had developed a snag & I had given it the service centre for replacement last week. The service centre is also in Nehru Place.
I was supposed to get my HDD today but they said that "there's no stock".
They asked me to check next week.
So, when I'll get the hard disk, I'll check for the card as well as all other details.

[g_goyal2000]

Ok guys.
Here's an update.
I'm getting a XFX 7600GS for Rs. 6400/-.
Also, he's selling XFX 6800XT (yup, a 6800XT) for Rs. 6800/-.
He doesn't have a 7800GS.
The guy there hasn't even heard of AGP variant of 7600GT.
He tells it all according to a pamphlet issued by nVidia which doesn't even mention chipsets like 6800, 7600GT (AGP), etc.
Sorry if I raised u'r hopes regarding the 7600GT.
If anyone lives in Delhi, then check at "Cost To Cost" in Nehru Place. It's a new shop.
And post more details.

XFX performs well I think
