Thanks for the information..

[arun_cool]

hi....guys

i m getting Leadtech 7900GTX 512 MB for 7k....the card is 6 months old
The card is also FActory overclocked...

Shall i go for it ...or Shall i go for The XFX 8600GT for 6k...

[Harvik780]

^^No.8600GT is not a good card for playing games at high settings.

[arun_cool]

So shall i go for that card ..... can i play games at 1024*768 and @ High settings in 7900GTX card

[keith_j_snyder2]

Dude! This card is gonna rock the hell!!!

6 K is really kick A$$$ all the way!

Get it before the guy change his mind!

[Harvik780]

So shall i go for that card ..... can i play games at 1024*768 and @ High settings in 7900GTX card
Pretty much yeah at "High" but not "Very High" or "Ultra".
Go for 7900GTX.

[arun_cool]

The GUY Changed THE mind he is asking 7.5k dude.....

So shall i go for the card??

[keith_j_snyder2]

What?
U can play at Very high settings on that resolution!
Infact Ultra high at that resolution....easily BATTLEFIELD 2, NFS Most Wanted etc.

People says that 7900 GS is better than 8600 GT but this card is much much better than 7900 GS!!!

[arun_cool]

Thx dude .....i ll surely go for that card

Thx for all of ur Replies....

One thing i want to make sure is tht 7.5k is High or k for that card...

[xbonez]

^^dude, if its a 7900GTX OC'ed edition, its a steal. go for it before he decides to raise the price any more.....and as for performance, at 1024x768 u'll be able to play all games at ultra high or atleast high.

[arun_cool]

thx guys he agreed for tht price

[arun_chennai]

thx guys he agreed for tht price

hey u are lucky to have such a deal...

[arun_cool]

:grin: :grin:

[keith_j_snyder2]

yeah i still remember when i bought my 6800 GS the 7800 GTX was like 46000/-

[xbonez]

@arun....if he has anymore gfx cards to sell at those prices, lemme know :D

[arun_cool]

k

[arun_chennai]

If possible get one for me too...:D

[Shloeb]

whats the current price of 7900GTX?

[New]

How to check whether the mother board supports 4x,16x AGP card?

[dOm1naTOr]

@arun_cool
even 7900GS beats 8600GTS. Then 7900GTX will be lot better than 8600GT.
As for nvidia, 7900GTX is the next best GPU after 8800. 7900GTX is neck to neck with 7950GT. But 7900GTX oced will easily beat 7950GT.

[arun_cool]

guys he is also selling Zebronics Diamond 600W.....for 2k....can i buy that too..........

and how much power is need for 7900GTX and amd 5200+......

[ricky_pradeep]

@both_aruns_on _digit: :D

Guys I'm trying to get hold of a Cooler Master 500W for my 8800GT burdened (:P) system. Delta quotes a price of 4600 for the 600W PSU which retails for less than 3600 in other cities... Know any other retailer? Do lemme know if you get better prices anywhere.. thanks :D

[Harvik780]

^^Buy from the itwares.

[Harvik780]

^^I don't think there's a Zebroncis Diamond 600Watt.

Look here-

http://www.zebronics.net/Diamond_Powersupply.asp

[arun_cool]

7900GTX 512Mb ... overclocked and Extreme Edition...

[xbonez]

^^i guess so...6-8months definitely..maybe even an yr

[dOm1naTOr]

@arun_cool
As of now that config is enuf to play 1280*960 max. It can even handle crysis at high @ 1280*960, if not very high.

[arun_cool]

Can some one tell me where I can get the - GeForce 7950 GX2 in bangalore and how much????

I need to know it's specs and if it's SLI based cos
I'm investing in ASUS P5N 32 ESLI mobo and Intel Core 2 duo E6850 with 4GB DDR2 Ram. budget is 60- 70k. any better suggestions?

[arun_cool]

ya both of them r working and that guy is near to my house only....

The card is With 1.5yrs Warranty more....

First He asked 11 k for the card i managed to drop the price to 7.5k...:D

[BULLZI]

hi guyz
i wanna sell my 7900 GT 256 MB from XFX and posted in the "BAZAAR" section.
bt now qbt a week gone, my post is still absent.
wht needs to be done now??
i m desperate to get 8800GT/GTS nyone of them bt i cant sell my old card:(.

[xbonez]

^^PM the admins... ask them why ur thread hasn't come yet

btw, how much u selling it for?

[rahulrajen]

hi ppl..
am havin a NVIDIA geforce 8600m gt
the problem is that when am using open suse 10.3 the config shows that the graphics card
doesnt support 3d.. thereby am not able to use the compiz fusion in suse.. does my gpu really does support 3d??

[Harvik780]

Ask ur query in the open source section and it will surely be answered.

[dOm1naTOr]

@jasonphilip45
7950GX2 is just waste of money. Its only gud at producing heat nd consuming while lot power.
U can get yourself an 8800GT 512 XFX for 13k and itll be hell better than 7950GX2.
8800GT is far better than even 8800GTS 640MB.

If u strictly want a GF7 card, then itrs 7950GT which is a single GPU one and the fastest nvidia DX9 GPU.

@BULLZI
how much u are selling da 7900GT for?

[The_Devil_Himself]

^^I pmed him,he quoted a price of nothing less than 7.5k.Lets wait for his bazaar section thread approval by mods.

[keith_j_snyder2]

@jasonphilip45

aravind_n20 is right!
Besides this , 7950 GX2 also draws more power than any other card on the block! For this u have to buy a bigger PSU too like 600W!
And also it generates hell of a heat as aravind already mentioned!

Go for 8800 GT 512MB. This card is a killing almost every single card as in the market!
Also its 512 MB is dominating 7950GX2 1GB memory!

[arun_cool]

Hi guys check out this,,,

toms hardware have updated their Vga charts.....

http://www23.tomshardware.com/graphics_2007.html?modelx=33&model1=1061&model2=709&chart=318

I cant understand why Ati's 3850 is placed under 7900GTX....in overall fps....:o :o

i saw many review saying that 3850 can be compared to 8800GTS 320 MB...

[jasonphilip45]

@aravind_n20
&
@keith_j_snyder2

thanks guys. didn't know 7950 was a real heater.

I hear the 8800GT wen SLI'ed, the bottom card becomes a vacuum cleaner and gets blown. Myth??

Is a dual 8800GT XFX in SLI really worth it? and what PSU will i need to couple with it?? 640W or 600W for 8800 in dual SLI? which brand PSU will be best to produce the power requirements??

THanks
Jason

[Tech_Wiz]

As I read somewhere ATi CrossFire gives more performance boost than nVidia Sli

[xbonez]

@jason : as of now, a single 8800GT 512MB is more than adequate to play all the latest games at high setings...if u're ready to spend more, u can go for the new GeForce 8800GTS 512 MB (i don't think its available yet, but its performance is supposed to be quite gud)

[BULLZI]

@aravind

I decided to sell the card for 7.5 K
Bt now reducing 500 bucks.
Only for 7 K.

[ricky_pradeep]

Is the DVI to Analog adaptor bundled with the XFX 8800GT sufficient to connect my Samsung 920NW LCD-TFT to my system?
Still haven't got delivery of my 8800GT so was wondering..
How pathetic a noob :D :p

[BULLZI]

@ricky

u shud hv checked before u ordered :D.

[Tech_Wiz]

Online Buy ATi 3800 Series look attractive. If I purchase one how much it will additionally cost me for Duties and all?

for e.g. say $100 is original price

[The_Devil_Himself]

^^get as a 'gift' if you got some friend in US of A,ask them to discard the packing and use ample duct tape.I think you don't have to pay custom duties for items less than 10k,I am not sure though.BTW it can be hard persuading them that it doesn't cost more than 10k or whatever price you're claiming it to be.

[Sunny1211993]

is ATI radeon HD3870 available in india and what price??
any other new ATI cardz??

[keith_j_snyder2]

^^^ So far it's not!

But its also not the best card on the block since the price will also be different from the price u see on WEB than the actual price in here!

Consider the 8800 GT as it is the best value for money!

[earlyman21]

wats the cheapest price 4 8800gt any make, any brand ? r the priceas yet to come down within this month?

[keith_j_snyder2]

Theitwares is selling 3850 and 3870 from Ge-cube but that is one heck of a price . U can get a better performing 8800 GT for the lesser price!

[BBThumbHealer]

can a graphics card be repaired ? or once it goes wrongs , it can't be repaired ?

my 8600GT is lying as such and 'm lookin for a good GPU repair shop in new delhi , can anyone plz advise wat to do !

[dOm1naTOr]

@BlackBerry7100g
does it haf warranty?

[keith_j_snyder2]

What brand is it?

Doesn't matter what brand it is, it will be repaired but it gonna cost ya....something!
Only thing matter is the warranty and u should have the invoice of purchase!

[BBThumbHealer]

i m having warranty but i can't avail it coz my dad purchased it for me from Canada ! the manufacturer is Biostar ! n no authorized service center is here in delhi !

the problem is that whenever i plug the card onto my mobo , the PC doesn't powers on itself , and as soon as i remove it , it powers on quite easily ...there is no issue of SMPS coz power supply is enuf .

Tried placing the card in another mobo too but that PC too didn't start ! earlier the card used to work fine !

i have no problems in spending money but i want my GPU to be perfect ! so any reliable shop in Nehru Place dealing with repairment of GPU's ?

After my card gets alrite , i m gonna sell it and get the 8800GT or the HD 3870 !

but rite now , i want my card to be repaired ! :(

[keith_j_snyder2]

Well i can't give u the specific name but u have to hunt down in Nehru Place. Try asking Computer Empire,104, Meghdoot Building. That guy knows atleaslt where to get the card repaired...if not try Rashi Peripherals of XFX.

wats the cheapest price 4 8800gt any make, any brand ? r the priceas yet to come down within this month?


Normally MSI is the brand which gives cheapest cards but i haven't seen any of the 8800 GT from them...selling price!

[Harvik780]

I am a bit doubtful whether u'll get your card repaired.The GPU or to be precise the Graphics Processing Unit cannot be repaired.On the other hand it'll be tough finding an IC if its damaged on the board of the GPU.The capacitors might get repaired but i don't expect you to find experts in India who can repair GPU.
The engineers at Rashi will not take claim for any other video card that they haven't sold.Also the engineers there are not smart enough.They just know the regular flashing bios and stability testing.

[dOm1naTOr]

GPU can't be repaire under ny circumstaces. It contains some 200~300 million transistors nd ull need an electron microscope for dat.

Also even if such ICs can be replaced from PCB, u won't get the GPU alone nywhere.

ll have to somehow claim warranty from US itself.

I saw MSI 8800GT at www.yantraonline.in. They are asking 16,800/- but bargaing might bring it lower. theitwares.com too is qouting for this card at 14,750/- + shipping + tax. Or else try few more shops at Nehru Place.

[Arun the Gr8]

my comp config is:

AMD Athlon 64 3000+
MSI RS482M2-IL Motherboard
512 MB DDR 400 MHz RAM
80 GB SATA 7200 RPM HDD

I want 2 upgrade my pc so that i can run windows vista and the new directx 10 based games.

I have decided to go for an additional 1 GB of RAM and a graphics card based on the upcoming nVidid 9500 DX 10.1 card from nVidia. i have time till feb 2008.

wht my query is that will my CPU & RAM bottleneck my GPU; bcoz they r 2 yrs old. should i buy a lower end card to get d best. it is now a days written in Digit dat now a days all d graphics work is routed 2 d GPU n d CPU has lttle work 2 do. is it true???

[zyberboy]

^^it depends on the resolution u r playing, in reso 1280x1024 and above ur cpu will not be a bottleneck, most of the work are done by gpu.
Which monitor are u using?

[keith_j_snyder2]

Now days u can see that the games are more graphics intense rather than processing intense because games game developers are using the raw power of GPU rather than CPU. Even now days if u see the benchmarkings, ther's hardy a difference in the performance between Extreme C2duo and simple C2duo. Though ur system config. is almost obsolete, so as mine but not completely. Though u need to upgrade ur system. U need a 2 GB RAM for more future proofing. and a moderate C2Duo can work like E6550.
U should wait for 45nm penryn processors which will be available in mid-January.

there's no such sign of any part being damaged at the GPU board !

@ keith_j_synder2 , i know the people of computer empire very well and they r only interested in selling the hardware , no repairs for any kind , they sell hardware worth lacs in one day and even have one security guard to stop customers from entering the store when there's quite rush , which is quite common at that shop ! :rolleyes:

any other shop which deals in repairing ? :confused:

[keith_j_snyder2]

^^^
Well u can ask the guard for the direction of their main office i.e Shop no 201, where all of the replacements are done and billing section. U can ask them atleast forward u to the place where all those repairs are done. Their shop no. 102 is rushed with buyers.

Or if u can go to SMC International...they will also help u.

[Harvik780]

The damage to GPU or Graphics Processing Unit is not visible to the naked eye.

i actually want it jhut 4 d while so wht i m askin is dat if i buy an ati 3850 will it work with my cpu without being bottlenecked

i also wanted 2 know dat since my processor is amd based, my mobo chipset is amd/ati based... so wil it give me any performance gain 2 buy an ati gpu??

[Harvik780]

Guys can anyone confirm if XFX 8800GT 256 MB is available from rashi.

[fun2sh]

can any1 suggest a gud gfx n 2k range?

my cousine is plannin to buy asus P5N-E SLI mobo. but it doesnt hav inbuilt gfx so comp wont work. but he dont want to buy an expensive gfx now. he just want to buy an average gfx havin DVI port(for connectin to TFTs). can any1 sugest ant gfx in price range of 2k.

also since that mobo has SLI so can he later add a GOOD GFX along with this
older1 without any problem??

[Tech_Wiz]

Get a 8400 but it wont come in 2 K range. You havge shell out a bit more

[dOm1naTOr]

8400GS is bout 2.2k

[fun2sh]

wil it support SLI feature

[The_Devil_Himself]

^^who would want to sli 8400gs.lmao.

[Sunny1211993]

^^who would want to sli 8400gs.lmao.
yaar,8400 GS is not that bad:):)

[fun2sh]

^^who would want to sli 8400gs.lmao.
are he doesnt want to buy an expensive gfx now. so i was askin than if this gfx support sli then later he can buy a gud gfx n use both together!!

[summit.nayak]

hello, i am new to this thread.
I am thinking about buying a new gfx card. Its ATI Radeon HD2600 pro 512 mb AGP8x.
i am confused about if that card would be compatible with my mother board i.e. K8S MX which has AGP8x Slot but supports DDR memory only as the ram.
My query is that if i buy the ATI card, mentioned above, which has a GDDR 3 memory, will it be compatibel with my motherboard

[entrana]

ya . see the video card memory is gddr3 and not ddr3. see.. it makes a diff. just plug it in and make sure u have a 400watt smps

[summit.nayak]

ya . see the video card memory is gddr3 and not ddr3. see.. it makes a diff. just plug it in and make sure u have a 400watt smps
in other words, the graphics card should work

[morgoth]

I am about to buy Galaxy 8600GT OC DDR 3 at about 6.2K Is it a OK card??? Anyone using this card, please reply???
If not this card then what???? :sad::sad::sad:

[entrana]

its fine

[Sunny1211993]

I am about to buy Galaxy 8600GT OC DDR 3 at about 6.2K Is it a OK card??? Anyone using this card, please reply???
If not this card then what???? :sad::sad::sad:
no,i would personally sugg 2 go 4 8600 GTS.
i OCed my 8600GT and got very less performace boost.
i personally dont see anything good in 8600 GT 256 MB.

[keith_j_snyder2]

i actually want it jhut 4 d while so wht i m askin is dat if i buy an ati 3850 will it work with my cpu without being bottlenecked

i also wanted 2 know dat since my processor is amd based, my mobo chipset is amd/ati based... so wil it give me any performance gain 2 buy an ati gpu??

Well u can see a performance difference between Dual core and a single core but 3850 will not "bottleneck" ur system that much...i mean if there is a difference, its gonna be a couple of frame rates!

Dude the 8600 GTS is a useless card. Since it wont fall in low end and also mid- high end but its price is also makes it less VFM. If that card casts 7-8 K then its better value for money.
Buy the 8600 GT or step into next level of 8800 GT!

[RexRazr]

hey guys,
i'm gettin' a new xfx 8600gt fatal1ty in less than 5.2 k...with full bundle n the game 'company of heros'
is the price ok?
:)

[dOm1naTOr]

@RexRazr
more than OK. But how? for 5.2k? FATAL1TY edition?
Even normal XFX UDD3 costs bout 6k.

Is it second? If then check if it has warranty.

[The_Devil_Himself]

@rexrazor:sure its a good deal buddy but how on earth is that possible?is it second hand?

[RexRazr]

it's not 2nd hand man...i'll get 3 years of warranty as well...even checked the seal myself
i think that it's one of the cards from the first delevery to that dealer...and as he couldn't sell all of them for a long time...so he's gettin' it out for that price
it's surely the fatal1ty edition by the way.. :)

[dOm1naTOr]

I seriously doubt somethin about that dealer[or the product].
Make sure its has warranty/3yr warranty from rashi sticker on box.

[RexRazr]

will do ^^

[[A]LT.F4]

Can smeone advice me which motherboard will be best to use with XFX 8600GT??

[The_Devil_Himself]

^^any with pci-e slot.

@RexRazr:which city mate?I would too like to have it if its that cheap.

[keith_j_snyder2]

Also depends on ur budget. But since u are buying a card also then buy something that doesn't have onboard display!

XFX650i Ultra should be the option!

[fun2sh]

hows xfx 8500gt 512mb ram??? my cousin bought yesterday in 4.5k

[entrana]

8500gt sucks. shudnt have gone .. shudve invested a LITTLE more to get 8600gt

[Ultra_Bloodshed]

I just bought the BIG(Galaxy) 8600 GT 256mb gfx card for 5.2k. The packaging looks odd. Its like the pack was mass produced with the BIG logo and geforce series printed on it. Then it looks like they pasted a printed stamp saying its 8600GT ddr2 256 mb 128 bit n stuff and 3 years warranty...

I got the card from a genuine Galaxy wholesaler so not much doubt on its genuinety. Trouble is I visited BIG's site and found out that 8600GT is factory OCed and comes with GDDR3 memory??!! The card looks exactly the same as given in the site.

Here's what I got from riva tuner's diagnostic.
Core clock domain 0 : 540.000MHz
Core clock domain 1 : 1188.000MHz
Memory clock : 399.600MHz (799.200MHz effective)
Reference clock : 27.000MHz

Did I pay more for this old card? or is this an obsolete version??

[The_Devil_Himself]

^^its ddr2 boy-----it sux!,you should have gone for the ddr3 versions.

[Ultra_Bloodshed]

^^ oh no... :( is it no good at all?? is it overpriced too?? Need to find a way to exchange it then :(

[RexRazr]

^^any with pci-e slot.

@RexRazr:which city mate?I would too like to have it if its that cheap.

i'm from kolkata m8.
bought that card this morn. goin great so far. :)
i've checked everythin' n got the warranty. even regd it in xfx's site with it's serial no. no probs.

[The_Devil_Himself]

^^oh man,I wanted this too.Looks like I am out of luck recently.dammit.Anyways enjoy your fatal1ty.I wish it is that cheaper in delhi too.

[dOm1naTOr]

@RexRazr
Is there more 8600GT fatl1ty stock with dat dealer?:rolleyes:

[The_Devil_Himself]

^^yea lol even I may be interested.

[RexRazr]

hey guys..i received a mail from yantraonline.in guys a few days back wherein they mentioned about discounted prices of 8 series based nvidia gfx cards being offered by them for a limited time..but i want to know if it makes sense to invest in gtx/ultra series cards now with so many new cards coming?

anybody using this psu or card?

[paragkalra]

Hello all,

I planning to buy a new 8 MB PCI VGA which should be compatiable with ASUS A8N-E motherboard.

Actually my PCI express slot is not working so I am looking an alternative with simple PCI

Can you all suggest which brand should I go for?

[jack_the_ripper]

hi guys,

can i know which graphics card i can get with a budget of 4k.. I have a MSI RS480 mobo(PCI-X) slot...

**** Cooler Master... goto their site and peek into the forum section.. more problems than compliments!

Personal experience : Defective 500W PSU! And only after opening the box and on the PSU, under the spec table, its mentioned that the 'Power delivered by the PSU in combination ( meaning the 3.3V 5V and 12V rails) will not exceed 430 W. So 500W is simply the peak power..

I recommed you buy either Seventeam ( vouched for by darklord) or uber cool Corsair.

Did you check if there are double rails? Check if the manual says 12V1 and 12V2... double rails on 16A should be more than enuf..

u can have my 7600gt ofcoures not for 4k....will b less..
but after smetime(weeks)

else add sme bucks n get 8600gt for 5k-5.4k and get ddr3 version only.

[dOm1naTOr]

@jack_the_ripper
MSI RS 480 worx with onl ATI cards nd has many issues with nvidia cards. A bios update cud make it detect some nvidia cards, but its not a guaretee. So better get an ATI card.
At budget of 4k, u canget a 1650 Pro which performs similar than 8500GT, but its a DX 9.0 card.
If u want a DX 10 card, then get HD 2400 series, but ll be hard to find.

[jack_the_ripper]

^ thanks aravind! i need a decent performing card for 4k. And will i be able to play DX10 games wid the DX9 card u suggested ??

[Tech_Wiz]

ATi cards so rare and expensive as to nVidia counterparts.....

I dotn know why they sell it so high if they can get all the gfx line down by 2k nvidia will have a very hard time

[keith_j_snyder2]

ATi 2600XT is cheaper than 8600GT in New Delhi!

@jack_the_ripper

Dude u should go for an ATi card, dude i suffered this problem for almost 18 months and finally found that the mobo was the problem.

MSI 2600 XT 256MB DDR3 would cost almost 4.8K!!!

[dOm1naTOr]

Its not like that....actually ATI is damn cheaper than nvidia counterparts, but its costs is high only in India. Maybe due to availability or somethin.
U see the HD 3850 is bot 170$ which is 6300/-Rs. Its better than 8800 GTS 320 which is almost 9300/-Rs.
But when it comes to India, 3850's price shoots upto 14k:shock:
HD 2600XT for 4.8k is a steal.

[The_Devil_Himself]

guys just one question:

My PC:
c2d e6300,
intel 946gzis
2x1gb ddr2 667mhz
8600gt(will buy soon)
1x80gb sata
1x250gb sata

Now I am planning to buy a powersafe 400watt gold PSU which has 20A on+12V rail.Is it good enough?

I have already dropped CM 380watt extreme cos it has only 16A on +12v rail.

[keith_j_snyder2]

Yeah 400W is enough to run the rig but keep in mind that if u want to overclock ur system then u gonna need a good PSU depending upon the level of overclocking!

[Dishant]

hello tech geeks, i wana ask u guys that shud i buy a four months used XFX 8600GT 256 MB ddr3 version at 5000 bucks? other thing is i can have the 512 MB ver. of that card manf. by Asus at 7300 bucks..pls sugggest me......thx

[xbonez]

^^i think u're getting the XFX 8600GT 256MB DDR3 at Rs. 5k a little expensive. www.theitwares.com lists the cost for the same card Rs. 5.3k for a brand new one of course....

[mastermunj]

Yeah 400W is enough to run the rig but keep in mind that if u want to overclock ur system then u gonna need a good PSU depending upon the level of overclocking!

hi,

if i say, i have intel c2q + xfx 650i + xfx 8600gt... which will be a good PSU to stand with a good amount of overclocking??

[Dishant]

but xbonez i live in rajasthan so if i purchase the card from theitwares.com, how wud i replace it if anythng goes wrong in future?...aslo is theitwares.com a good place to make the deal? r u from mumbai?....

[The_Devil_Himself]

^^yea,contact theitwares,com hear rahul through email or call,he will take care of shipping and all+you get normal warranty boy just like buying from a shop.in this case your 3 year warranty on card will be honoured by Rashi peripherals(xfx's official dealer here).

[Dishant]

i mean if something goes wrong with the card then i can replace it here at RPTECH na?........ kahin aisa na ho ki yahan reguse kardein?

[xbonez]

nahin, they won't refuse...even if u do go to theitwares in case of a defect, chances are they'll redirect u to RP

[The_Devil_Himself]

[The_Devil_Himself]

7200gs\7100gs something.retails at around 1.6-2k,but 8400gs is preferred anyday.

[Jags]

I feel so weird saying this..

I dont care how outdated it is..it shud just be compatible with my board and shud be able to play some movies and stuff.
I wud have went for an onboard graphix mobo..but cudnt find a gud one.

[hash!!]

i dunno if this is the wrong thread, but anyway, here goes, i just bought a 19" dell widescreen... it has a max res of 1440x900, which is kinda big, im used to workin on small screens... i used to work @ 1152x864 on my 15" monitor, and 1440x900 is kinda huge... when i tried changing the resolution on the 19" to 1680x1050, it made made my desktop scroll, as in, the entire desktop didnt fit on the screen, i had to move my mouse to the corners to scroll to the view the parts that were outta the screen... i hope you get what i mean...
i basically need to tweak this... probably make my desktop res 1680x1050 and make it lock on the screen...
any ideas?

[codename_romeo]

can neone tell me is sparkle 8400GS worth buying??????? gettin it at 3k

[xbonez]

8400GS is alright for vista as well as movie watching....defintely not for gaming though....can't say anything about sparkle

First tell me the max. resoulution your LCD support. I guess like most of the 19" supports 1440X900. Always use the maximum resolution for best possible view. The above mentioned 1680X1050 is higher resolution than ur LCD sports so its obvious it will not show the entire screen. Check your display properties>settings tab>check max. resolution.
Should work for u!

from lower 2000 to upper 6000/=
thanks..

Consider 8600 GT if it is only and only for gaming. If u are into designing stuff and gaming, then go for ATi.

Buy a used 5200FX, possibly will get it for 500-800/-

Little more bang for ur buck, should be around 2.6-2.8K for this card.

[hash!!]

ummm... i already mentioned the max res... its 1440x900... my crt had a max res of 1024x768, but i managed to fit 1152x864 on it... i wanna do likewise on my 19"ws.... 1440x900 is kinda small... i like my desktop with lotsa space lolz....
i've tried everything available in the display settings, like disable the "hide modes that my monitor cannot display", etc etc etc... its just that when i switch to 1680x1050, my desktop starts panning, like i have to scroll to the parts by taking the cursor to the corners of the screen...
i wanna fit 1680x1050, or whatever the next in line proportional resolution to 1440x900 is...

Hello, I just upgraded my system from a Intel 915GLVG + 1GB DDR RAM to Gigabyte 945GCMX-S2 Rev. 6.6 + 2GB DDR2 RAM.

I installed Windows Vista Ultimate on it as the "Vista Upgrade Advisor" did not complaint of anything. Now, the problem is that it is very slooooooooow.

Now, I just want to run Windows Vista Ultimate on this system so I have to buy a graphics card. Please tell me which cheapest graphics card can run Windows Vista Ultimate in its full glory? Please help me :(

[BULLZI]

^
Get 8400 GS within 3 K all inclusive. Thats enuff to run Windows Vista.

[vista__n00b]

Thanks a lot for your reply :)

Can you tell me your views about 7100GS and 7300LE as well? Please tell me how these three cards fair against each other? I don't play many games so 8400GS supporting DX10 doesn't mean much for me. I just want great functioning of Vista Ultimate, Windows Media Center and play lots of AVIs.

[xbonez]

no reason at all for u to go for the 7100 or 7300....not only will the 8400 perform better, it's also better for vista

dont go by any chance for 7100GS / 7300 LE. Go for 8400 GS if budget low. Otherwise 8600 GT 256 mb GDDR3 ( not the 512 mb GDDR2 one ). It will be abt 6 K all inclusive.

Dont know abt 7100 but 7300 LE is a poor performer. It also has shared video memory upto 512 mb. Means it will share your ram memory.

For Vista Ultimate at its "full glory", u gonna requirea good graphics card like the min. should be 8600 GT not less than that. Vista require dedicated graphics to run all 3-D effects on and everything maxed and u gonna require 4GB RAM to enjoy the best of Ultimate with maxed out settings!

My suggestion is to get 8800 GT to use all the cool stuff u wanna run but 8600 GT will do the thing!

ALso u didn't mentioned the processor u have, i guess a C2duo? or atleast a E2140 overcloked to 2 GHz min.

[lnkrishnan]

Dude - is your new monitor an LCD one? If so, you cannot display it at anything other than the native resolution of the new LCD monitor? Anything resolution other than the native-resolution will make your display look like crap, or will force the display to pan, or both. Widescreen resolution displays typically cant be forced to display resolutions outside of the widescreen format (means, you can't get a display 1440x900 to display 1024x768 or 1680x1050).

ummm... i already mentioned the max res... its 1440x900... my crt had a max res of 1024x768, but i managed to fit 1152x864 on it... i wanna do likewise on my 19"ws.... 1440x900 is kinda small... i like my desktop with lotsa space lolz....

Yeah well in monitor u can adjust the screen size like u did in ur monitor but messing up with LCD will end up like nothing like lnkrishnan had already mentioned u can't!
The best is to have the max. supported resolution supported 1440X900 for ur LCD!

From your list, 8600 GT is the choice.

ASUS EN 8600 GT will do everything u mentioned and it can run COD4 @ higest settings on 1024*960 without AA :p but dont expect to run crysis on highest settings on 1024*768 but it will look decent

If possible, get ASUS EN 8600 GT in SLi

[lnkrishnan]

Ahem - when I mentioned that the LCD display will look like crap, I meant that the fonts will look all wrong and wierd - the LCD can only display fonts properly at its native resolution - anything outside, and it will not look proper.

Are u sure about it? I guess not because if u give bigger resolution parameters to the LCD the screen will not show the entire screen with nothing go wrong with the font. The LCD will always show things better at its native resolution but lower resolution will show semi-blurred screen.

Go for Asus EN 8600GT.I have XFX 8600GT and it has some severe heating issues.XFX messed up some where with their 8600(s).
The EN version is also factory overclocked which means better performance and overclocking due to better Vcore.

[Shloeb]

Is it safe to buy a graphics card from itwares? And there the price of xfx 8600gt is 5300. But i think its a defected piece which has severe overheating issues. Is that so? How do i find out if its that version or not. Because the model is not specified there. Do itwares sell asus en8600gt also?

but cant i tweak it to a higher widescreen resolution? like old crts had 640x480, 800x600 and so on, so dont widescreens have a higher adjustable resolution?

Don't buy any XFX 8600(s) many have heating issues and overclocking takes a hit when u try it because of already overheating GPU.Also XFX 8600(s) have problems setting fan duty cycle even through Riva Tuner.I have also confirmed these problems with another XFX 8600 user.

Dude.. you still haven't replied to my query - is yours an LCD? Is so, nothing can be done - you're stuck with 1440x900 unless you're happy with panning / crappy-looking-blocky-fonts - that is how LCDs are designed.

Wht is da cost of xpert vision nvidia 7200 gt 512 mb

[dOm1naTOr]

@JohnephSi
why that card? its pathetic in performance...get at least an 8400GS for some 2.4k from XFX. Other brands might be cheaper. It can compete with 7300GT.

[codename_romeo]

Is 8400GS = 7300GT?????

[hash!!]

Dude.. you still haven't replied to my query - is yours an LCD? Is so, nothing can be done - you're stuck with 1440x900 unless you're happy with panning / crappy-looking-blocky-fonts - that is how LCDs are designed.
yeaah man... i have an lcd... i tried a zillion things, but no avail... ugh... as my last resort, i've reduced the icon font sizes...
so after all this, lcds do have this drawback... sigh... i was wishing someone would know how to tweak this...

[sagargv]

@sagargv
was that a UDF7? the new UDD3 dun haf that issue whereas the first UDF7 has heating issue like one mentioned above.
XFX has stopped UDF7 nd now producing only UDD3.

thanks . ya , i had a UDF7 . i hope i dont get a UDF7 again ..

Folks - one bigtime nooob question - suppose I buy a 8600 GTS gfx card now, and have a SPI capable mobo, can I SLI pair another 8600GTS gfx at a later point in time? Meaning, do 8600GTS gfx cards lend themselves to be SLI'ed ???

If your MB supports it (SLI / Crossfire) yes u can have more than one graphics card, and if you have two DUAL SLI CONNECTOR cards (like the 8600gts), you can actually run two cards in SLI.

If the cards are different, you can run multiple monitors (I'm running 2 montiors, one 19" on the HD2600XT DDR3 and two 17" on the HD2400Pro).

SPEC: AMD 6000+, 4GB(800 FSB) RAM , HD2600XT/HD2499Pro Graphics Card,500GB HDD, 19' Samsung LCD,ASUS M2N SLI MotherBoard,800w SMPS,52x ASUS SATA DVD Writer.

7900GS 256MB 10900
7900GT 256MB 13000

7600GT 256MB 6000

all of em from xfx . . .y dont u just see theitwares.com

anyway , its better to go for 8800GT instead of 7900GT . and 8600GT than 7600GT .

[elator]

i have a zebronics lc-b400atx power supply..
will it b enuf to run a 7600gt graphic card.??

[dOm1naTOr]

@elator
yup

[elator]

hmmm...
its a 20 pin...rather than being 24 pin..
i was wonderin if tat causes a prob...

[dOm1naTOr]

20 pin then ull have to change it, coz the additional 4pin is to power PCIE slot nd 7600GT draws power from slot, so ull have to get a new PSU with 24pin nd atleast 400W.
Get a Zebronics normal 400W for 400/-

[JohnephSi]

@sagargv .is 8 series available in agp. Xfx is da cheapest brand or wht.

[keith_j_snyder2]

.???

U have a double post and u can also use the edit button before quote!

And the 8800 series is not avaialle in AGP because they supports PCI-E 2.0!
U have to settle down for 7 series or 6 series for AGP or ATi X1K series!

[sagargv]

for 8 seires u dont get agp models .. u cud try radeon hd 2600

hello guys, i wanna buy a graphics card based on nvidia 8600gt......shud i go with asus 8600gt or xfx 8600gt?....also buying from theitwares is ok or not?

[Harvik780]

Go for Asus 8600 GT.Don't buy the cheap XFX ones because its pain to find the UDD3 which doesn't overheat.Go asus if you don't want any heating issues.

[JohnephSi]

Wht is da price of ati hd 2400 xt agp with 256 mb memory?

[Dishant]

buying graphic card from theitwares is ok or not?

[Harvik780]

I have bought one PSU(cooler master Extreme Power 600W)from theitwares and i had no issues with them.
However do ask for a bill from them otherwise they just won't send a bill.

[JohnephSi]

[keith_j_snyder2]

The 2600 XT costs almost 4800/- so 2400 XT should be around 3500/-

[JohnephSi]

[JohnephSi]

[sagargv]

i think its pcie . agp is costlier these days ...dont spend more than 5-6k on a agp card. u'll be better off spending a lil more for mobo+proccy+card. . .

r u sure 2x8600GTS > 8800GT . coz 8800GT comes close to the GTX and 2 8600gts's wont come near it. . .so arun's suggestion of selling ur 8600GTS and going for 8800GT is better . plus u wont have SLI related issues and u reduce the power requirement.

[entrana]

not even a fool would say 2 8600gt > 8800gt. in fact not even 3 would be greated than ANY 8800.

NVIDIA 8800GS

Just when you thought NVIDIA's GeForce 8800 product family was crowded enough, up pops another SKU (albeit one primarily targeted at OEMs and system builders), the GeForce 8800 GS. So, just what does this part bring to the table?

According to NVIDIA, G92 core 8800GS just aims to the OEM market. But it is said that the AICs have their own plans. GeForce 8800GS 384MB will be $149-179 and it will replace GeForce 8600GTS. GeForce 8800GS built in 6 groups and 96 Streaming Processors in total, each group has 8 Texture Filtering Unit and 8 Texture Addressing Unit, the stepping reduced to 12 from 16. It matched 192bit memory controller and 384MB memory, so its HDR and FSAA will not as good as GeForce 8800GT.

Try Tirupati Enterprises and itwares!
And please stop double posting!

[ankushkool]

is it true that 8600 n 8800 will not be good enough 2 handle high end DX10 games. is it good 4 high end DX9 games??? or is it better 2 buy a high end nvidia 7xxx series card?

hav a budget of 10000/- (+/- 1000) what do u suggest i sud go 4???

[entrana]

8600 and 8800 are very much capable of handlin dx10 games and they are even better at dx9. the 7 is nothing even in dx9 so even if u WONT get dx10 the 8600 and 8800 series are still a better option. you should extend your budget or wait for the 8800gt 256mb release

Hi
my first post here...
i am a noob in computer hardware..
2 days back i got myself a pc reading about the latest config here n there...

i got myself E6750 and dg33FBC,2X1GB HDD,250GB SATA..
how is this configuration??

also i saw there was a graphics card which was on demand ..
GEForce 7200GS .. it wasnt much money so i bought it too but then i came to know that it was very old ..

i wanted to ask if adding it on my board will help improve the performance or the integrated graphic technology on my board is better..
having bought it, is it of any worth or shud i try to fwd it on to someone else??? plss reply soon as i think i can return it still ... thnxx

[zyberboy]

^^7200gs is a weak card u may not see any difference in performance.

[kayos]
