:roll: hi guys, i am a casual gamer. iwould like to buy a video card but have ltd. budget(around 2500).
moreover i have no idea whatsoever abt the diff. cards on offer in the market at the desired price range.

:? i was planning to go in for a geforce 5200 128 mb card but the posters at techtree.com forum have said that the xfx 5200 card is unable to run nfs hp2 at full settings, leave alone play doom 3. i am in a fix :? . many suggest all kinds of cards of the geforce series, geforce 440, geforce ti, etc.etc.

i feel helpless, i would love playing games like nfs underground and due to release crikcet 2005 on my new vid card.

:?: please help!!!!

Abhishek, ever heard the saying that you get what you pay for. This saying is true to a great extent in graphics card arena. At this budget the 5200 is the best available right now. But...at this cost you can't expect to have all the eye candy turned-on could you. Its like you pay for a Maruti 800 and want the looks and the performance of a Skoda or a Lancer. Thats the irony. The 5200 is a decent card for entry budget level gaming. It will let you play most of the games, some at low settings, some at medium, and some old ones at full settings. So it is the higher you pay the better the eye candy. You just have to find the card which will give you the maximum bang for the buck. So I say get the 5200, and start gaming. Forget the rest!!!
Peace......

Hey allwyn
Can you tell me why 6200 is cheaper than 5700, Is it better than it or not. I want to buy a PCI based card . My budget is around 8000. Which should i go for.

I think the 6200 (Non-Turbo Cache) will do for you if the budget is fixed at 8k,but i say the best buy would be a 6600GT For a safe enough gaming :D

Also the 5700 is slightly better in peformance compared to 6200.The Pricing is mainly because the 6200 is an entry level budget card of Nvidia,Kinda like the FX5200 story in the AGP segment.

Btw i suppose the 6600 plain version is somewhat available for the same budget which forms a decent card....Just enquire about it as well....:D

@abhishek.....The FX5200 wont be able to handle the High settings of most recent games.Say if you turn on the AA and AF on this card and play a game it will barely post playable frame rates.So if you are a very hardcore gamer meaning if you like to play the games at highest possible resolutions and details then this aint the card you are looking for but if you barely adjust the game's Video settings then this card will be quite sufficient for your current needs.As far as cricket 2005 is concerned i think it can handle it as well.

Moral of the Story:
High Game Settings Needs High Graphic Card & High Graphic Card Need High Green Bills :wink:

Hi people,

I have an 2.4 Ghz 512 Kb L2 cache intel processor. 512 MB ddr 266 Mhz RAM. And an Intel 845GBV motherboard with AGP 4x.

I wanna buy an graphic card. I asked a local dealer he said i ca get Geforce something for 128 Mb at 2100 Rs. and 256 MB at 4000 Rs. I dont know any great detail abt graphic cards. But i know cards from nvidia and ATI are good. Which card should I buy.

My needs : Wanna play latest games ( if possible with candy effects ON). I wanna play games like DOOM 3, Prince of persia, HL2, NFS 1 & 2. The games should run smoothly. Can I have a resolution of 1280 x 1024 resolution. I have an 17 inch monitor samsung 753s Syncmaster.

My budget : 4000 Rs. max

My need is basic

geek_rohit

29-04-2005, 09:40 AM

@jay4u. I suggest go for the nVidia FX5200, it is a pretty decent card for the budget range. Though playing at 1280 x 1024 is not possible at budget cards. Not even on mid range cards. But the FX 5200 is gonna be easy on the pocket and let you play all the games at playable framerates, with some of the eye candy turned on. Depending on the game. Like DOOM 3 you will have to be happy with low resolution.

Ankit

29-04-2005, 04:39 PM

like jay4u mentioned...is it worth paying almost double 2100 to 4000 for extra memory...i think the delaer is cheating him...

Ethan_Hunt

29-04-2005, 08:24 PM

@jay4u....Well the One you are probably talking about will be the XFX Geforce Fx5200 obviously which is a decent card but Raising the resolution of the game with all eye candy is just like asking for a PIV Performance with your Celeron :lol: but rather on a more serious note this card isnt built in a much complex way to handle most high resolutions and Leave alone the Eye Candy option.Doom 3 barely posts playable frame rates on 800x600 resolution on this card,So dun be much surprised if u experinece a snail Crawling (Or even Slower) if you turn up the Video settings for this game.The rest lot of Games like UT2k4,POP:WW,HL2,CS:Source,Cricket 2004,Fifa Series,Mafia etc. looks pretty decent on Normal Resolutions.

My Bid would be the Fx5200 with 128MB VRAM will do perfectly if you are a casual gamer :D Ohhh Btw Do also remember this is a 8X Agp Card and With ur 4x Mobo u wont be able to utilise the full capacity of this card.(Just a Freindly reminder)

@ankit.....Nope In case of a Fx5200 the 128MB is almost the same in performance compared to its 256MB counterpart.So If u tend to fall short on the budget you can definetly opt for the 128MB Version without any hitch as it will do away pretty well :D

Hi,

i wanna buy a graphic card which has a built in TV tuner to watch TV channels and recording functionality and is made for DirectX 9 b. I mean DirectX 9 b games must run smoothly not that too many features should be turn on, The gameplay must not get affected, that's it.

I want the cheapest available card from reputed brand. I am willing to compromise on my budget for a good brand. But the graphic card must be AGP 4X compatible.

Features needed :
TV Tuner
DirectX 9b support
128 bit interface
min 256 mb onboard
adequate clock speed
Integrated hardware MPEG-2 decoder
TV out card if available

Games wanna play
All latest games
Farcry, Battlefield, DOOM 3, POP, etc.

Please quote card name, price and other alternatives.

Ethan_Hunt

01-05-2005, 02:03 PM

Well the Cheapest possible card available and from a reputed brand and that too at 4x speed,not to mention with TV-Tuner capabilities :o :shock:

Man Dun wanna sound like a total nOOb on this one but i hardly know any card with such capabilities or a 4x card with so much capabilities to be more precise.The Cheapest Possible Card=Fx5200 with DX9 Supporting Option Below that would all fall in the 4 Series like Ti4600,4200 and so on.Each of these card lack some or the other features that u have mentioned.Like the FX5200 can Handle Dx9 Based games,Pixel Shaders,Tv and DVI-Out (Optional),128-Bit Interface,256MB VRAM and also handled your mentioned games at normal res but Lacks the TV-tuner Option,Also no 4x version is available for this card.Other Alternatives Mean Club3d Ati Radeon 9200Pro and SE models in both 4x and 8x variations but still lack in some of your features.

So My Final verdict for your Cheapest card search would be Geforce Fx5200 with 256MB Vram @Rs.4.3k

@mukherjee....Well The Geforce Fx5200 will serve well for you too but even you seem to have a 4X Mobo i guess,So expect the card running at 4x default speed.The 256MB 128-bit Version of this card must Fit your 5k Bill.Also I assume you mean the Graphic cards 64-bit and 128-bit Variation issues.Well in that case,the basic difference is that the more the Memory the More the Bandwidth or the Data Transfer rates.The 64-bit performs almost say 30/40% less as compared to the 128-bit versions.

@ allwyndlima

I confirm that my nforce 2 mobo is agp 8x conmpatible. In that case, should I go for Fx 5200 or FX 5700 LE? :?: Also, should I go for 128 MB or 256 MB? :?: Price band knowledge will be helpful to me. My PC has atleast 1.5 years left in it. :D

i need help,
i have a 128mb ram and a 64mb geforce 4mx420 ,i recently played hitman contracts,it works fine but once in a while it gets hanged and when i restart xp gives me a mmsg saying that the video card driver could not complete a loop or something of that sort,, i had played gta vice city on my comp and it worked well, but after this hitman problem came up i reinstalled gta vice city and man.......it doesnt work properly even on the lowest settings..
plz tell me what i can do abt it.. i have the latest drivers for my card.(my card has been made by mercury)....

Ethan_Hunt

02-05-2005, 04:38 PM

@mukherjee....hmmmm So you have the 8X Version of Nforce 2 well in that case i suggest a Fx5200 128MB Vram 128-Bit version Must do for you which will be around 2.3k atleast (XFX Brand).The 256MB Vram one is almost the same in performance as compared to the 128MB one and Don't even think of considering the LE version of 5700,a Non-Ultra version will perhaps do but not the LE version as its performance is dam slow for most recent games.Also if your Pc has 1.5 yrs of lifeline still pumping then am sorry to bust this news to you but i think you'll definetly need a better graphic card as the Fx5200 wont last for that long.

@sandeep.....I Suppose the Graphic card drivers are definetly the culprit for this issue.Better Re-Install you drivers also try ending most of XP's background services and Unwanted tasks.

Ati Cards Like 9550,9600Pro And Xt are some of em which fall in almost the same league as of the 5700Ultra.

As for your A8N Mobo the best bet is the 6600GT PCI-E Version costing around 12k.....Make em 2 6600Gt's in case ur budget is dam high and Wanna Make full ultility of ur SLI Mobo.

dude u cant compare a 6800gt with a x850pt . x850 is better than even 6800ultra , though the ultra catches up in games like doom3 . x850 would b priced atleast Rs 15k more than the highest spec 6800gt ( gainward 6800 gt GLH ' Goes Like Hell ' , with a 1.6 ns latency ) .

even my current 5200 pci ( gonna buy a new rig in a months time :wink: ) card has a tv-out . 6600gt surely must b having , but it then depends on the manufacturer .

What on earth are you talking about dude??? :shock: :shock:
The 6200 Retails only in 128MB and 256MB Vram 128-bit version.The One you are talking about is probably is the Turbo Cache a.k.a TC version of 6200 which utterly sucks big time.Plus any specific reason why you only need 512MB ram to run it("It" as in the 6200 that you are talking about.....ehhh).

hi guys,

potsing my query in detail here ( hopefully for the final time before actually buying the real thing)

my config.
* Intel 850GB mobo with 512KB L2 cache AGP4X 256RDRAM
* WIN98SE and WINXP PRO_SP2
(don't want to change this config, my pc just lacking a good video card, everything else is just SWEET)

my budget.
* around 10k min. - 20k max.
(looking for a good card for 3 months - and got the budget upto 20k now, not gonna raise it anymore)

my needs.
* want to buy 256MB card or 512 if in price range ? (if im putting 20k in this, then why not go for 256MB or 512MB if available? never heard of 512MB graphic card yet though)
* play latest games for the next 4-5 yrs atleast - with full resolutions, textures and details.
* watch dvd movies from my pc's dvd-rom on my SONY WEGA 29'' flat TV with help of s-video or whatever.

questions.
* can my pc config. handle the x8** series of ATI RADEON ? i got an extra power supply cord left on the mobo.
* is geforce6800 really that good compare to ATI as i have found in many other forum posts ? i asked this questions - since im still confuse about what to go for - ATI or GEFORCE
* what is dual GPU and stuffs ? I got noooo idea !!
* dunno about pipelines and other stuffs either. and overclocking ? i don't wanna get into that at all. I heard it dangerous for novice users. I just don't wanna get stuck with a wrong card after spending 20k. I don't think u guys will love to be in that position either right ?

suggestion
Going to lamingtom road in mumbai in 4 days.
HELP ME OUT HERE !!

and yes, im a mad guy, putting 20k on a graphic card, i would had rather spend it on a week trip to goa and have lots of fun ;)
Anyway - please suggest the right stuff for me and my PC.

cheers

* want to buy 256MB card or 512 if in price range ? (if im putting 20k in this, then why not go for 256MB or 512MB if available? never heard of 512MB graphic card yet though)

You will have to go for a 256 MB card. 512 MB is released by Ati for the X850XT but will cost about 40k upwards. Read the article here. (http://anishsood.weblogs.us/archives/19)

can my pc config. handle the x8** series of ATI RADEON ? i got an extra power supply cord left on the mobo.
* is geforce6800 really that good compare to ATI as i have found in many other forum posts ? i asked this questions - since im still confuse about what to go for - ATI or GEFORCE
* what is dual GPU and stuffs ? I got noooo idea !

I think your PC config should be able to handle the x8** and 6*** series but as your AGP port is 4x, you will get only half the performance of the card. If you still want to invest in a card worth that much go for the 6800 GT blindly. You should be able to find to on Lamington road for less than 20k

Dual GPU's can only be fitted on motherboards that support SLI (Scalable Link Interface) so you cannot install them.

My suggestion

Buy the XFX 6600 GT 256 MB ( Which I will buy in a few days !) for about 14k and spend the rest of your money on upgrading your system RAM to 512 MB. Its no use having such a good GPU without a decent amount of RAM to complement it.

i would had rather spend it on a week trip to goa and have lots of fun ;)
You are always welcome to Goa with your PC for a LAN party :lol:

thanks for your suggestions

I am planning to get new mobo Intel D915GAV 1MB L2 Cache with pentium 3E Ghz with HT and 512 X 2 DDRRAM 400 MHz after few months. That will cost me ard 25-30k.

But for now I want to get a card which will work with my present PC config. But later should work to its full limits cause the new mobo will have 8X AGP then.

So should I go for ATI X8** series or whatever ? I really want to buy a top notch card - 1st and last time. Well I like the ATI brand just cause the logo looks cool :D

going to mumbai on 12th, so everyone/anyone who can get me some good suggestions are invited.

@mohit
Yaar can u tell me how much the powercolor radeon X800XL card will cost ard ? and how much MB and bits ?

LeadTek is a famous brand/company. try searching in google.co.in or yahoo - u will be surprised - how many search results u will get. :D
I don't know about the specific graphic card u posted here, should be ok if its from LeadTek, but besure to always check/test the hardware before u buy it.

Ah, you are always welcome. The system above will support your card properly. But, that system will have an option for PCI-e as well. That means it only makes sense to invest in a PCI-e card if you are going to buy that system !

Doesn't that confuse you ? :roll:

Well my suggestion is that when you buy a PC go for AMD, as that will support AGP cards and buy an AGP card right now.

Dude, forget the logo and go for the 6800 Ultra or GT whatever fits in your budget. the 6800 thrashes the x800 hollow.

If you feel Ati it is then go for the Powercolor Radeon X800XL 256 MB for 21k available at Mediatech.

I have some vary basic questions. I want to view cable TV channels on my PC monitor. For that exactly which feature I need in my graphics card. Is it TV Tuner or TV-out or VIVO ?? Currently I'm having P IV 1.8 GHz, Intel D845GEBV2 mobo which supports AGP 4X and a Riva TNT2 16MB Graphics Card. I'm on a limited budget and can spend around 3K. I have read in the forum GeForce FX 5200 based are the cards for me. However I would like to know the exact makes/models that meets my requirement(viewing cable TV channels on my PC monitors). I'm a casual gamer and dont mind playing games at low resolutions.

anishcool

10-05-2005, 10:10 PM

Oops I made a mistake. It is not Zebronics but a Leadtek.

The correct card model is Leadtek 6800LE.

Find the specs here. (http://www.leadtek.com.tw/eng/3d_graphic/specification.asp?pronameid=149&lineid=1&act=2)

Now this card for 14k with POP:SOT and Splinter Cell is not a bad deal.

Moreover, what convinces me to buy this card is the 3-year warranty.

It comes with 8 pixel pipelines which can be unlocked to 12.5.

It has 128MB 256-bit memory. What better for 14k ?

I want to view cable TV channels on my PC monitor. For that exactly which feature I need in my graphics card. Is it TV Tuner or TV-out or VIVO ??

To view TV channels you will need a TV Tuner card. Nothing else will do.

I'm a casual gamer and dont mind playing games at low resolutions.

For decent casual gaming I recommend nVidia FX5200 based cards. Now this card is not a TV Tuner card but a plain graphics card. To meet all your requirements, you will need to buy :

1. TV Tuner Card - 1.7k
2.GFX Card - 2.8k

Both cards are perfectly compatible with your system.

Hope I could solve your problem,

Cheers !

hey buddy i think the Powercolor X800XL should cost around 18k-20k as the price mentioned in the magazine is the mrp and it is given around 20k but the actual prices are always less than the mrp. and it is a 256 mb card with 256 bit of gddr3 memory making it a real powerful card. in the review they say its equivalent to the geforce 6800 ultra in perfomance .....i am waiting for this card man and i just hope the prices fall down ........

Well if such a card exists then it makes sense to buy that only if the price of it is less than ( 1.8 + 2.7=) 4.5 K.

Now, cant I get a card which has both, I mean a GeForce FX5200 with TV-Tuner rather than buying two different card ??
Well if such a card exists then it makes sense to buy that only if the price of it is less than ( 1.8 + 2.7=) 4.5 K.

Yes you can get Graphic cards with a built in TV-Tuner, but those will definately not be below 4k.

Ati's All-in-wonder cards have all the features you are looking for, but to my knowledge even the Radeon 9000 Pro all-in-wonder retails for somewhere around 8-9k

Though I am not sure at all on the prices. I recommend you check out the prices from a dealer or post a thread asking for prices.

If I get the prices I will PM you.

Cheers !

does anyone know which version of directx does the geforce 4 mx 420 support????i'm having heck a lot of problems..i recently installed "mohpa" but when i start the game it just gives a message that " u need a DX8.1 compactable card".but the readme file says that the game has been tested with a geforce3,4,4ti etc. so how come it doesn't work for me??

You might need to update you drivers. And install the latest version of DirectX

@sam2211 you can install a PCI-E card only if your computer is based on the new intel 915 or 925 chipset.

akshayt

14-05-2005, 07:16 PM

amd 64 too have support for pci-e

also,some games aren't supported by geforce 4mx

also,pci-e is newer over agp,in mid range cards atleast cost a bit cheaper and won't you prefer it over agp

but you can wait some time to make biger upgrade.

sam2211

14-05-2005, 11:56 PM

i think ill stick to an agp card for now, thanks for the help ill check prices for the 6600gt in my area. till then i wanted to switch to the intel extreme graphics chip that i have, how do i switch from my agp to the intel xtreme?

thanks in advance :)

akshayt

15-05-2005, 11:26 AM

don't get rs 480,get something better ,nforce 4 preferably nforce 4 ultra or higher

also,6600gt is a decent card

check this link for performance in diff games.

but with a good system you may for instance say,
deux invisible war: @ 1024*768,highest settings you may not even get 30fps,but you can ask others whther lower fps is fine or not
if you want 30>= then you will need to invest in 6800gt or x800pro atleast,,maybe higher for lower system

hl2 you shd be able to play @ 1024*768,highest settings

both of them don't include aa and af though

doom3 you might be able to play @1280*1024,highest and no ADDITIONAL aa and af on.

these are probably ingame settings,refer to link to ee how they are tested.

Hi Guys,

Just returned from Mumbai last night.
Got the graphic card i was looking for. Or rather - got the costly one available there :P

XFX GeForce 6800 Ultra
256MB DDR3
256Bit
AGP8X
DUAL DVI/S-Video OUT
3 yrs warranty from Big Byte Corp.
running on win98se and winxp_sp2
Bundled Package:
2 X DVI-SERIAL port socket
1 S-Video Cable
1 NVIDIA Driver's CD
1 X MOTOGP2
1 X X2-THE THREAT (2 CD)
1 X COMMANDOS - DESTINATION BERLIN (3 CD)

Cost = Rs. 32100 /- from Prime ABGB
Got 550W power supply for Rs. 5750 (before i had 300w)

Installed latest drivers for win9x and winxp from nvidia.com last nite.

So well - the cost went real UP with all this - i wasn't expecting - BUT it all well when it ends well. Looking good now though.

Question:
Bought a s-video to 3 rca cable
can see the desktop and the folders - had set the card on dual display
But when i open window media player and power dvd - can't see the movie. please help me out. Can't hear any sound either when i play any mp3 with media player and winamp.

This is the only problem i got for now. Rest seems working properly. Don't wanna overclock the card - since im just a novice with this. Don't wanna end up loosing everything.

Kindly try to help me out with the TV diaplay and sound problem please.

thanks

nice indeed!!! I didn't wanted 2 buuuy b'coz I will buy my new PC when I go 2 MIT so I thought it might help u ppl

The biggest thing in that card is that the core at stock clocks 410Mhz instead of 400 Mhz (that's what oc means)
It gives 1yr comprehensive warranty and has good bundled goodies

thank u vry much

akshayt

18-05-2005, 04:01 PM

Just tell your motherboard.

Also,6800gt pci-e shod be starting at abt 24k.
THough x800xl you shd get around 20k.

Also,if somebody has 1.7ghz , he shd upgrade if not now then within few months as that is a bottlenekc also now since pci-e is out it is safer to stick with wit or atleast 8x.

THough ask others abt 4x.

just upgrade 1.7ghz

akshayt

19-05-2005, 05:05 PM

Radeon an geforce are the major and only graphic chipsets FOR GAMING that normally ppl take and are popular for gaming.
try to avoid ati as they have many driver etc probs,but if they give better bang for buck you MIGHT try them if their aren' that many probs.

cards are then made by companies like asus,ati etc using these chipsets i think.
For todays generatin card,asus shd be fine .
leadtek shd be fine
xfx is ok in india ,availbale many places

pci-e graphic card,
suggested buy
6600gt 128mb xfx i bought for 10.3
consider leadtek,though it has only 1 yr warranty and it is safe to go for 3yrs
consult others
otherbuy:
6600,for 7.5-8k and up

else geforce 6200 128mb or higher ,if 256mb then take ,

Hi pals.

I have Athlon XP 2600+ Barton @ 1.92G, nforce 2 mobo with 8x AGP + 512 MB DDR 333.

I want to buy a new dx9 based card. Budget-5.5-7k.

I researched a bit and found: :?

1)XFX Geforce FX 5200-256 mb/128 bit---> 2.9k
2)XFX Geforce FX 5700LE-256 mb/128 bit---> 5.7k
3)XFX Geforce 6200 Agp 8X-256 mb/128 bit---> 5.8k

What card should I go for. Please reply ASAP as it is an urgent upgrade :?:

your first 2 options , don't go with them

you may consider your third option
better still look for 6600 128mb agp 128bit

or if not possible radeon 9600pro or higher 128mb
,is 9500pro available thogh it probably isn't dx 9

Check www.techmirchi.com for prices online.............They have leadtek and xfx.
Yes gddr memory is there and on the newer more expensive 6600Gt you get gddr3 memory. Yes these are 128bit.

akshayt

20-05-2005, 04:24 PM

actually you shd spend as much as possible on 3d card and there is no comparison betwenn 6600 and 6600gt

go for min:
6600gt
x800,provided it has no probs,seem to read something abt X800s
6800,sometimes it does loose to 6600gt

go for pci-e
recommended:
6800gt 256mb or higher or wait for next gen if you have decent card
X800pro/xl
X850pro or higher

thegame_rulez

22-05-2005, 11:06 AM

i think geforce 6200 agp by xfx shud be the next best bet for casual gamers..who are thinking of gng for the geforce 5200/5700/radeon 9600..i think its got more features than its pci-e counterpart..and it has all the features of the new-gen cards..though u wont be able to put the eye candy on...however at a price of 5600 only..wat more can u xpect..!!!
so according to me this is the best vfm card in the entry level segment.

akshayt

23-05-2005, 12:19 PM

You will need to find one though for 3.5k you may not get something too good.

pci interface is old for graphic card and used to be expensive and you may not find a wide range so easily.

Just tell us which motherboard do you have so that you can be recommended a new one with oboard graphics or new agp card etc.

HEy i think go in for a cheap chard now the save up and when ati and nVidia introduce their latest chipsets the rates of the present cards will fall then u will have a bigger range to choose from !!!!

CHEERS !!!

Never buy an le version of any cards they are always under-preformes and always are made using the worst batch of chips.......

sagsall4u

23-05-2005, 01:48 PM

also,geforce fx 5200 might not be better than geforce 3 ti ,ask others though.

good news is u have a agp slot on ur board

bad news is well...its a old proccy, so i guess u shld match it with something low power like fx5700 non ultra or LE or if u really wanna go low budget then the fx5200

just blindly upgrade to the max supported ram tho

pimpom

25-05-2005, 12:47 AM

There is really no "ideal" match for a particular config. It depends on your budget, your needs and expectations. You can use just about any recent AGP card whether 4x or 8x (not PCI-E cards of course).

In the nVidia range, all video cards in the FX5000 series and 6000 series are DX9 compliant. In the ATI lineup DX9 compliance starts from the Radeon 9500 and X300 upwards.

Prices start from a little over 2k to over 20k. Your CPU is slow by today's standards, so even if you can afford to buy the high-end cards, their power will be largely wasted unless you plan to upgrade the rest of your system in the near future.

Suggestion : go for a low to mid-range card. We'll be able to make more specific suggestions if you state your approximate budget.

Plz tell why you want 2 cards.

also,check specs(speed,memory interface etc),games,bundle,warranty,genuinity of shop etc before buying

i bought xfx 6600gt 128mb pci-e for 10300

asus/xfx 6600gt 256mb pci-e was offered to me for 14k

i read that leadtek gives for 9k and thier bundle also may be better,amy be giving chaos theory,doom 3 etc

for abt 10k
go for 6600gt 128mb/256mb pci-e

for abt 18-20k go for x800xl
though in doom3 it may ot be that good,sometimes may be equal to 6600gt in doom3

Here are the Pricing i got after a couple of phone calls ( All PCI-e Cards )

XFX 6600 NON-GT 128 MB : Rs. 6,500
XFX 6600 NON-GT 256 MB : Rs. 6,950
XFX 6600GT 128 MB : Rs. 11,500
XFX 6600GT 256 MB : Rs. 12,700
XFX 6800GT : Rs. 23,500
XFX 6800 Ultra : Rs. 33,000

GIGBYTE 6600GT 128 MB : Rs. 9,850

GAINWARD 6600 NON-GT 256MB DDR3 : Rs. 7250 approx

So what u ppl suggest

1) For under 10K Category
2) For under 17K Category

I could not find gaiward 6600gt golden sample.. XFX Floods Mumbai Market...
The gainward 6600GT golden sample was available with mediatech last time afaik for 11.5+VAT. Among these cards you could go for the gigabyte 6600GT, gr8 card, quality components ! The 6600 aint worth it since the price difference is too low between the GT and nongt.

and can some tell me the phone number of lami shop sellling gainward golden sample.. mediatech is saying they dont have 6600GT

blade_runner

29-05-2005, 09:01 PM

was it 256 MB or 128 MB ???

I called up mediatech and they r stupid.. they said PCIe dosent have GT series.. :P

I am thinking to go for Geforce 6600GT 256 MB.. After a lot of review reading X700 ATI was a close call.. but Geforce beats it..

Please tell me which company

XFX / Gainward / Club 3D etc...

and pricing plz if anyone has it..
No point in getting the 256Mb version, it doesnt benefit afaik on the 6600GT. Settle for the 128Mb version. Get the gigabyte or gainward or leadtek, cost arnd 11-13k for the respective brands. Get XFX as the last option. Recently they have been having some troubles with the AGP 6600GT

hello ppl..
wats the cheapest available geforce 6600gt?(agp)
i want a card in the range 9000-10000..
also how much power supply does it require?
i have a combo drive,2 fans and 120 gb hdd. and am running on a 300 watts psu..oh and i also have a geforce 5200.
and is there a considerable difference between geforce 6600 non gt(agp) and 6600 gt(agp)?
The best card in that range is the 6600GT without doubt ! The 6600GT is arnd 40-50% faster than the nongt so i wud go for the GT. Also you might have 2 invest in a true rated 400W psu once you get a 6600GT. The cheapest ones are the leadtek and XFX which are in the 10.5-11k region.

hi i was going through this forum nice to see that there are such a lot of helpfull people out hereare some suggestion which will help one in making choice one needs to be clear of 2 things 1)purpose
2) budget
purpose- weither one wants for gaming or one wants for using it for video editng or cg ,3d purpose
2)budget i dont think so i need to tell u any thing regarding this
if one is taking a card for causal gaming one should go for a card like nvidia 6600 which will be coming soon any thing with 128 mb ram and ya find out about thepipe lines never go for the top most card go for one below the top most
if one is taking a card for hardcore gaming there is no better card then 6800 gt right now please dont go for ati card the drivers are not so good also this card can be used for programs like 3d studio max maya but the ati card is bad in this dept as it is known to have a lot of problems with maya
6800 gt works ok
but if you are going for use of application like maya 3d studio max please go for a proffesional card like a qudro tho its not so great with games its card drivers are specifically written for 3d application ther is a way of making a 6800 gt card into quadro you can go to www.cgtalk .com go to hard ware forum were the procidure is given but one this procidure is carried out u can say good bye to games but its worth as a qudro is quiet expensive i am not sure weither a qudro is avilable in india it should be just find out and be sure what card u buy because they loose their value fast bye

heyppl, i was reading a comparism between cards wen i came across this:
GeForce 6600 GT
500 MHz : core speed
4000 MTexels/s: Fill rate
128-bits : Memory bus bandwidth
GDDR3 : Memory type
500 MHz : Memory speed
16.00 GB/s : Memory bandwidth

GeForce 6800 GT
350 MHz
5600 MTexels/s
256-bits
GDDR3
500 MHz
32.00 GB/s

is the core spped of the 6600gt really more? but the 6800gt is mch better at everything else so does the core speed matter tat much?
i got the stats from www.rojakpot.com under article database, graphics card comparism v8.0

hmm,that is intresting , never heard of a 6600gt with a 1000mhz core, i dont think their is any card with that core speed i think a radeon tops the list with 750mhz, any way back to my previoius question how important is the core speed, and is the 600gt,s more than that of the 6800 gt????

Sam, whr do u find "core speed 1000 Mhz"..... the memory clock was mentioned to be at 1000 MHz and thts tru 4 6800GT series coz they hv 500MHz GDDR3 RAM chips....(i.e. 500x2)....no GPU till now has reached core speed of 1000 Mhz.....

godzi_85

05-06-2005, 01:27 PM

the core speed is 500 mhz. and the memory clock speed is 1000 mhz.. that`s what the nivida panel says..

06-06-2005, 10:15 AM

@sam2211: The 6800GT is a much faster card than the 6600GT more than twice as fast !

also a game has come/will come that won't support geforce 4 (that probably won't support geofrce 4 ti or atleast not even at minimum)

Geforce

06-06-2005, 12:42 PM

I would like to point out a small detail that was missed out :

PIXEL PIPELINES

Geforce 6600 GT = 8 pixel pipelines
Geforce 6800 GT = 16 pixel pipelines

It makes huge performance difference.

But 6600GT beats Geforce 6800 non-GT
which has 12 pixel pipelines hands down
merely on the basis of higher clock speed.

rockthegod

06-06-2005, 08:11 PM

yup 16 pixel pipelines does give a tremendous boost in performance but u can see it only at higher resolutions(>1024x768) with FSAA and AF enabled. At lower res. the 6600GT shows much better performance than 6800GT..but as soon the res. is increased and all effects are turned on 6800GT takes up the lead... also heard tht ATi latest GPU R520 comes with 32 Pixel pipelines and whopping 512 MB GDDR3....with 750 Mhz core clock...ummmm, dreaming to possess one of such siblings when nVidia releases a similar GPU (7800 series may be)

@chirayu garg : go for an XFX GeForce 6600GT 128MB ddr3 Extreme Gamer's Edition ... higher clocks at stock i think at 550/1050... should come with 1.6ns ram ... so with good cooling u can look at speed of 600/1200 easily ..
http://www.xfxforce.com/web/product/listConfigurations.jspa?seriesId=42
browse to find that card ... compare it with normal 6600GT's ..

the 6600GT doesn't beat the 6800nu easily ... its a tight race at high resolutions with aa,af .. and an oc'ed 6800nu can easily beat an oc'ed 6600GT ..mainly due to the additional 4 pipelines and the 256bit memory interface .....

in many game 6800 is ahead of 6600gt but sometimes it looses.

http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/video/display/2004-27gpu2.html

you want graphic card

an idea is take a card for abt 10k and save another 5k-7k and take another card for abt 10-12k after abt a yr.

but if you can afford a new card then,then consider leadtek 6600gt box oced one for nearly 12k
also,consider 256mb 6600gt asus / xfx for 14k

also,X800XL for abt 19-20k might be found lower somewhere now
also,try to find X800

It shud be better than the 9800 no pro and the 5900, but for 8k its too costly. Considering that adding 2.5 more u can get the 6600GT which is farc better card than the 6600.

My Computer is pretty old, bought it way back in 1998 or something.. Its a PIII 733Mhz. :( My problem is that, my MB, a Mercury MXVLA Chipset has no AGP slot. I was considering a graphic card upgrade for my system, now thats out of the question, can anybody suggest how i can get a graphic card for my system, sidestepping this obstacle?

Both are AGP, which is fine coz i'm going for AMD anyway. No PCIx till abt 2yrs! So any advice guys. I need a AGP card which is one step below the best...

17-06-2005, 11:39 PM

X800xl is a better deal in terms of price.. you can save almost 4-5k on the card as the performance difference isn`t much in most games. though the 6800 gt does outperform the x800xl in some games but that diff is much to write about either..

@john the ultimate - ya 400 watts powersupply would be good enough for the card(if you overclock then you might wanna consider 450)

@anil thomas - gainward is the best(followed by gigabyte and xfx)...:P

Would it possible to add a PCI-Express graphics card over a Intel GMA900 Controller. My mobo is the 915g which says it has a PCI express bus... Does it mean there is a PCIx slot or just that the mobo supports PCIx?

If there is PCIx slot then, I would definitely want to get a good PCIx Graphics card for around 5k. Any suggestions? I was thinking of the FX5700LE...

in which brands is the x800 available in india?
i found a review of the HIS x800 on guru3d.com and found its cooling technology the best.it sucks air from the cabinet and blows the hot air out through the back.any other card implemented that as of yet?
Gigabyte X800 pro is the most powerful X800pro GPU in the market. Therefore go for it it's the best. HIS is also pretty good it runs cooler than any other X800 card.

Gigabyte is available. HIS should be available i am not sure. Which one have you decided? Go for Gigabyte. Do you overclock your graphic card?

Then simply go for Gigabyte X800pro. It's the best. It runs cool as well. Tempeartures isn't a problem with this card. I think it will cost you around 15-16 k in new delhi not exactly sure.

why cant i see my signature that i just added?
well forget that, could u direct me to a review of the gigabit x800 pro?
fine the card dosent have problems with heat, but if its spewing hot air inside my cabinet, the other components might have difficulty working to their best potential....thats what i feel and was opting for the ice q cooling technology on the his cards

i'm looking for an 8X AGP card with 256MB memory. whats the best performing cards? if the answer can be put in price ranges would be great. not too fond of Ati but open to suggestions. currently on a 5600XT with 128 MB memory and is a bottleneck in overall system performace. not looking at PCI express ones as will need to get new mobo and proc as well.
current config:

AMD 3000+
ASUS K8S-MX
512 RAM @ 333Mhz
128 MB RAM nVidia 5600XT
120 GB SATA Seagate HDD
Creative Live! 5.1

6800nu from BIG is between 13-14 K. Better deal is the 6800GT which has come down to 18K in Mumbai. Whats ur budget ? Also the 6600GT is available for 10.5K. Mate you dont need a 256 MB card. Trust me the price to performance betwen the 128 MB and the 256 MB cards are negligible.

sidvarman

02-07-2005, 12:43 AM

no real budget as such. just looking for a card that will make the system workable for at least a year (being optimistic). saw real time how fast a 64MB top Nvidia card was out for being a BAD BOY to a wimpy. 6800 series and the 6600 ones you mentioned are the AGP slot ones right? here in b'lore, even in some of the "renowned" stores, dopes dont know what a PCI express and a AGP card look like and simply say "give us a model and we'll look for it". end of day.... same deal again.
have seen 6800 series in PCI format as well in DIGIT mag a couple of times so was not too sure.
the current one i got gives real low scores on any pc performace stats. the system tops almost all units in the AMD 3000+ series but falls flat in every single 2D and 3D graphics tests by more than 100 or in some 300 points! and the GPU is overclocked to add a bit of performance and all background apps are shutoff as well.
so there....
games used are KOTOR 2, Republic Commando, DOOM 3, NFS UNDG 2 and D3 requires me to shut down all the background apps to even get min res to run or risk seein the bullet hit the Ghouls in real time slo-mo matrix style. KOTOR 2 runs only if card is overclocked and i run it only for an hour before heat becomes issue as well

lol...I dont know who your dealers are but I too am in Bangalore and I trust me PCI-E cards are very much available here. Anyways the cards I was talking of is available in both AGP and PCI-E. The prices I mentioned were for the AGP. My suggestion on the higher side if you can get the 6800GT else on the lower side the 6600GT. All are extremely capable cards which will give u good performance. And will play most games for the next 2 years.

I got this info from techmirchi.com :

XFX Geforce 6600GT-128DDR AGP 8X Graphic Card

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Price: Rs 13700
Free Shipping
Shipping Time:3 Days
Product code:173
Warranty:3 Years
In Stock
Manufacturer : XFX
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What do you think of this card and the price?? I think the price is a bit high. Whats the price elsewhere?? I searched on e-bay. They dont have a 6600 or 6800 card. In fact they dont have any high end cards. Where else can I buy a decent graphics card online??

No ways are you gonna get the prices on newegg in India. Prices are always higher here. Much higher!!

cybershastri:

The price of a 6600GT is aroun 11k. However the techmirchi price is also inclusive of shipping which is quite useful for people living in areas without access to this card.

Hey! here in Mysore I inquired the dealer said 12.5k for Zebronics 6600GT 128MB AGP card. I inquired elsewhere as well. All the dealers quoted around same price. And you people say it around 9.5k and 10k, it is really cheating. Why is so much of difference?

i bought zebronics leadtek 6600GT Extreme Edition for 12.5K .. a month ago.. dont know the price now

see if urs is extreme edition ( pre-over clocked ) .. or i guess u can contact zebronics and they can courier it to u for 100 bucks extra...

I dont think that the card offered to me is an Extreme Edition. But still I will check out.

If I can get the card couriered to my place for just 100 bucks extra then it is good. But I did not find any link on the zebronics site for ordering the card. I have mailed them yesterday inquiring about the gfx card but have not replied yet.

Finally I got a reply from Zebronics. They said the Extreme version of the card comes only in pci-ex card and not in AGP (Frankly, I didnt know this.). They have offered the 6600 GT 128bit 128MB card for 11.5k including all taxes and free shipping. :) which I think is in par with the prices in rest of the country.

If I buy locally then I will have to pay 12.5k and if I order directly through zebronics then I will be saving 1k. So, I am going ahead and buying this.

Thanks khandu for your suggesion to contact zebronics.

As I was about to send a reply to zebronics people for the 6600 gt, I got a mail from BIG (I had requested them also for the price of the 6600gt card). They offered me their graphics card for Rs. 9750+4% +Rs. 200 courier charges which totals to Rs. 10340. Now I am confused whether to buy the zebronics card or the BIG card. Which card is better? Money is not the issue here as I was ready to buy zebronics card. Frankly speaking I had never heard of this company - BIG. I could'nt find their website also. How are their products? Should I buy the trusted zebronics card or should I go for the BIG card?
Please help me.

Shastri.

---EDIT--- Also I missed a point..zebronics card has 2 yrs waranty and the BIG card has 3 yrs warantty. ----EDIT--

Plz suggest the best among these. Also if there are any other cards from other companies within my budget then plz suggest. Is the plain 6800 / 6800 LE better than the 6600GT ?

thanx in advance.

khandu

06-07-2005, 07:17 PM

go for 1st option.. its overclocked and as good as the 6800 , but if u have lots of money then maybe PX6800..

keep the LE as last option.. i guess.. :P

Hey shastri, go for BIG, I was also going to buy one but the dealer (BBC) at Delhi was out of stock. So returned empty handed back to VNS. He said the new lot would be arriving soon, its delayed bocz of rain and all.

To my best knowledge, its actually a BFG 6600 GT card which BBC is selling in India as BIG.

see this link:

and its performance at overclocked levels:

wait for 6800 prices to drop a little bit.
Hey Blade finally i'm going to buy 6600 GT (BIG) today. Thanks for all the information u have given me in buying a gfx card right from 9600 to 6600. :) :D
Congrats mate ! :)

@mohit: go for the 6600GT extreme version or if u wanna try your luck @ unlocking extra pipes then go for the normal 6800 however theperformance increase on unlocking the extra pipes is not too significant. Still if u fancy having the 6800 series then get it.

1. Yes you are right. They dont have the stocks right now. They said they will have the cards only after July 16th.

2. Your knowledge is very good. BIG sells BFG 6600GT.

3. I did not contact directly to any dealer. I e-mailed them that I wanted to buy a card and asked them what they were offering.

I think I will go with the BIG card as most of the people have recommended and its cheaper also.
