One of my friend wants to buy a gfx card for now ( for temporary use )
He will upgrade to a better gfx card later. ( ATI 4850X2 )

But at the moment he has only Rs.2500-3000 to spend on gfx card. So he wants
to know which one these card is the best :
( note 8600GT cards are difficult to find @ Rs. 3000 in here - so leave that alone )

MSI RX3450-256MB - DDR2 RX3450 256MB DDR2
MSI RX2400PRO-TD256E DDR2 2400PRO 256MB DDR2
MSI R4350 D 512H DDR2 HD4350 512MB DDR2

Palit 8400GS 256MB DDR2 1825
Palit 8500GT 512MB DDR2 PCI 2700
MSI NX 8400GS TD512 EH 8400GS 512 MB DDR2
MSI N 9400GT MD 512H 9400GT 512 MB DDR2
Palit 9400GT Super 512MB DDR2 - Super

Another friend of mine wants to buy a mobo & cpu combo for Rs. 5500-6000
He wants to do some basic gaming on it. So which combo is best for him :
( also he will not upgrade the proc in the future )

Motherboard based on ATI 690G/V + AMD Atlon X2 5000+
Motherboard based on Nvidia 6150 or 7050 or 7100 + AMD Atlon X2 5000+
Intel G945 or G31 + Intel e2180

Guys how is intel e2180s performance in gaming compared to AMD Atlon X2 5000+
since they are both in same price range

anyways, I think ur display output port is corrupt, try shiting the monitor cable to the second one (I hope ur card has two outputs at the rear)... this things happened to me too and changing the port helped.

BTW, u got a Q6600 and a card like 7900gs ? Get a HD4850 for a super gaming experience with that powerful CPU of yours....

Its compatible and i thinku need to change ur PSU,but not sure....
coz KPower said that he OCed his 8800GT with a VIP 400W PSU..:rolleyes:

The diff b/w PCIe 1.0 v 2.0, is the performance and that too not a far..Just a lil bit...

We're not FRAPS to tell u the exact frames u get in a game...Better try it urself, but Crysis "Medium" @ 1024x768 may give some playable FPS.... and dunno abt BiA:HH and FarCry "High" @ 1024x768 gives above 60+ FPS.... I assure that....

Coz my 7600GS itself gave above 40+ FPS at all Very High

Your question was answer somewhere previously. And ya, please and I mean, please ease on that dumb smileys. Gosh, they are irritating.

Anyways,if you can increase your budget, you can swing a sweet deal for a Palit HD4670 for around 5.7-5.8k. If you can't, your best bet would be either a 9500GT or an old card like the 8600GT. I think 450W would be enough coz I used to run my 8800GT OC'd with a E4500 OC'd and 2GB RAM before getting my 500W PSU. The performance difference ranges from 5-10% at the most.

Thanks buddy for your suggestions.

The only 8600GT card my friend could find in here is zebronics, Sparkle & palit 8600GT

whats the performance diff. b/w the ddr 2 667 and ddr 2 1066 MHZ
HOW MUCH XTRA FRAMES I WILL GET IN THE GAMES.....
I HAVE 2 GB ddr 2 667......:(
BUYING 2 GB OF DDR 2 667 is a good choice??????:rolleyes:

AND WHAT ABOUT THE ATI RADEON 58XX SERIES....
I THinK IT IS COMING VERY SOON
in 3-4 MONTHS AND THESE CARDS supports DX 11 and will perform .5X - 2.3X depending on the card in 58xx series where X refrers to 4870 1gb version

No idea.

currently have 2 GB ddr 2 667 mhz(kingston)..

My budget for a graphic card is around 5 k and PSU - the VFM(whichever is the best). Appreciate your help a lot as i'm planning to get the system by today or max tomorrow.

u asked for ddr-3 not for ddr2.let comes to ur question again there is not huge difference between DDR-2 667 and DDR2-1066 in games sorry to say there is no extra frames u get buy good GPU for frames and flame the game :D.

yes buying 2GB DDR-2 667 is a good choice when u overclock ur CPU the frequency of RAM will increase also which fulfill the CPU FSB requirement.If u think ur DDR-667 is not available to fulfill the FSB requirement so u go for DDR2-800 but i don't think u needed DDR2-800.

58 series is not coming soon so if u can control ur gaming worms so wait otherwise go for 48 series its value for money man

You didn't mention your exact budget. :-)
Anyway, here's a cheap one.
Intel C2D E7200
Kingston 2 GB DDR2 800 Mhz
If you could extend your budget, then get a 9600GT based card. (EVGA is cheaper than PALIT's offering). If you can't extend your budget, then a 4670 based card is your best choice.
Monitor- Dell E228WFP (I don't have much knowledge about monitors. This monitor is a good one. I don't know much about the others.)
PSU- Corsair HX520
Cheaper PSUs are available, but they don't have efficiency as good as this one.

Get E7200 w/o any second thought...

For Mobo, get MSI P35 Neo F - 4.6k.... or Palit P35A - 4.2k...

ViewSonic 22" 2226W - 11k or ViewSonic 2245WM - 15.8k
Get Dell if u have enuff money to spare...

Get Kingston 2GB 800MHz RAM for 1.7k...
Graphics Card for 5k..!!!
I suggest you to get a HD4670 for 5.5/5.8k max.... coz this is the best VFM card u buy at this price..
And for PSU,get PowerSafe Silver 500W SMPS - 1.7k and if u can afford, then get CoolerMaster EP500W - 2.3k..
But, you wont able to spend much money on PSU, then get Zebronics 500W SATA II PSU for around 1k...:D

Thanks buddy for your suggestions.

The only 8600GT card my friend could find in here is zebronics, Sparkle & palit 8600GT
but hey are ddr2 based - should he go for 8600GT ddr2 based cards.

Guys do you have any links that proves intelg31+2180 is better in gaming than amd 5000+ ?


Well, then one last alternative

Get a 9500GT 512mb DDR3, which is 1k more, at 4k

It's cooler and faster and better than 8600GT

And worth the extra 1k too!

[bassam904]

^^
9500GT will be best choice if the budget is 4k

[Psychosocial]

Calibre has a nice 9500GT if you want to buy one. 512MB GDDR3 for 4.5k.

[comp@ddict]

Zotac is nice

Calibre yes

Zotac is 4k tht's the basic difference

Must be calibre has better cooling

But it's okay, cuz it's a low end card anyway

[Psychosocial]

^True.

BTW, Zotac has two offerings in the 9500GT segment. One is normal and one is OC'd. Calibre has factory OC'd with a different cooler and awesome looks :D.

[comp@ddict]

Was unaware of that^

Well, calibre better option then I guess

[Psychosocial]

Well, it does not matter whichever he buys.... I dont think he will be able to play upcoming games at high detail on high resolutions. Anyways, its a 32 SP card with a 128 Bit memory :|.

[comp@ddict]

^lol yes

minimum or that for medium settings is 9800GT or 9600GT OCed

[Psychosocial]

^^Dude my 8800GT plays everything on max except Crysis and Warhead @1440x900. Even new games like Fallout 3 and FC2. So, 9800GT is an overkill for a med range system. But 9600GT fits the budget gamer scene nicely. EVGA 9600GT KO is a nice card and will handle med range gaming easily :D.

Is it worth for him to spend 1K more where he will get a 4850X2 when it launches in here.

Guys what about intel G31+2180 vs. AMD 690+AMD AM2 5000+ ( or 2500+ )
WHich one is better in gaming.
Can you guys provide any Links

[Anurg]

Hey guys I am new to this forum.I have an 8600gt XXX edition and my pc runs for about 12 hours a day though the graphics card has true work only for about 3 hours that is when I play games. I use windows XP SP3. I think that this way my card will not last for long. ""Any good suggestions for increasing its life"". and my system does not crash and I dont think it overheats

[desiibond]

Simple advice: Just use it and don't think about card's life.

[arun thulasidharan]

@ rajkumar_pb & beta testing - thanks for your suggestion guys.. :)

And rajkumar sorry abt the name -that was a typo error ;)

ok.. am sorry but am a bit new to your computer slang.. so if you dont mind can you clarify me - E2700 is the processor you suggest.. and mobo means motherboard -MSI P35 NeoF (or) Palit P35A is what you suggest? (am sorry if the question is tooo dumb :( )

And guys i wanted to check back immediately yesterday for your suggestions, but my system went dead on me :(

Hope you guys are online to help me now as i planned to buy them today. And to get a better help from you guys - i have a MAX budget of 19 k - 20 k for the processor, RAM, motherboard and graphic card, PSU, Cabinet and UPS (for which i will need your suggestion)..

Can you guys help pls. btw, i have decided on 22'' viewsonic as you guys suggested for 11k, 500 gB seagate HDD - 3250 &Microsoft cordless M/M kit - 1350 :)

[rajkumar_pb]

E7200 - 5.9k
Palit P35 A - 4.2k or MSI P35 Neo F - 4.9k
2GB DDR2 - 1.7k
ASUS 8600GT - 3k
Zebronics Cabinet - 1.3k
CoolerMaster EP500W - 2.3k or PowerSafe Silver 500W - 1.75k
APC UPC - 2.2k

If u choose PowerSafe PSU,then the budget comes around 20k, and for CM EP500W it exceeds by few extra bucks....

[arun thulasidharan]

@ rajkumar_pb & beta tesing - I checked with the available shops here and found out that I can get the following config, :-(
Kindly check on whether I can go with this config, :confused:
Intel C2D 7300 (semms it is the latest – as he says) and should I go for 2.53 Ghz or 2.66 Ghz?
Transcend 2 GB 800 mhz DDR2 Ram – I couldn’t get Kingston here – is transcend ok?
or can you recommend any shops in chennai where i can get the config you guys suggested? i checked with IT Depot, & challenger computers.(the biggies here):)

[rajkumar_pb]

Look at my prev post dude...
Why dont u roam around ritchie street to get all these...(Look at my location..:D)

[arun thulasidharan]

@rajkumar_pb - Thank GOD you are here online :) and thanks for the suggestion :)

but i was reading your discussions on graphic cards and understood that i need go ahead with 9600 GT or Palit HD4670 , but you have suggested me ASUS 8600 GT!! Are they kinda equal? Coz i dont want to stick with a low performing graphic card at the end :(. I can rather shell out a few Ks more for a better one :) kindly advice and do tell me on what brands are available on the 9600 GT and HD4670? and also tell me what other equivalents i can try out within that cost range and performance?

hey cool. i didn't notice you were from chennai too :) hey rajkumar am from velachery and my workplace is navallur. and since challenger computers is one of the biggies here and they have a branch in velachery i thought i can get it from here.. what say? :) actually i dont mind scanning ritchie street, but one more complication for me is that i need to get everything from the same shop (and thats a MANDATE as my dad pays for it ;)) any suggestions on which shops i can check??

[rajkumar_pb]

I prefer Palit HD4670, if u choose HD4670..and again EVGA 9600GT KO Edition if u choose 9600GT.... HD4670 costs abt 5.8k and 9600GT one is 7k..

The 8600GT is a low end card..Y i suggest that for u is simple..Coz ur budget..U want everything within 20k, which is impossible...So i suggest that..If u able to shell out few more Ks then go for 9600GT or HD4670, whatever u wish or available here...

i will go for either go for Palit HD4670 or EVGA 9600GT. i think i will go for Palit HD4670 as its a bit cheaper. BUt performance wise is there a difference between the 2?

[rajkumar_pb]

Ofcourse not...The HD4670 was released to compete with 9600GT..(Correct me if i am wrong)..So juz go for HD4670 w/o any second thought....

@ comp@addict - hi! thanks for the clarification :)

@ rajkumar_bp - sure thanks buddy. i'll go for the HD4670 only :)

ok fine. I think i'll settle for the following config then... kindly check if this config will go well :confused:

Intel Core 2 Duo 2.53 Ghz
Transcend 2 GB DDR2 800 Mhz RAM
Palit P35A motherboard
Palit HD4670 Card
Cooler Master EP 500W
Zebronics cabinet
APC 500 VA UPS
Viewsonic 22' Monitor
Microsoft M/M keyboard

And will i be able to play most of the latest games with this config? :confused:

[comp@ddict]

Well, u still hav an option:

5.5k HD4670
6k 9600GT

In my opinion, 9600GT does much much betetr in performance, and u have CM500W PSU, so no problem in 9600GT.
+ 9600GT is super Overclockable if u know how to do it(Performance comparable to 9800GTX and 8800GTX)

^+1

9600GT is much better than HD4670 for a minimal price increment like 500bucks or 1k. I vote for EVGA 9600GT KO or Xpert Vision 9600GT.

[comp@ddict]

Yeah, XpertVision is 6k
EVGA is 6.5k, I guess, but AFAIK factory OCed

[Psychosocial]

^Yup.

But both EVGA 9600GT KO or Xpert Vision 9600GT will go good with my config rite (given above)

Hi guys, this is my first post. I need some advice regarding buying a graphic card.
earlier i was planning to buy 4670, but now i see that 512mb gddr3 9800gt(palit,zotac) is available for 8k(lynx).
how much is the performance difference between the two?
also, my friends who are CUDA programmers say that cuda is gonna be the next big thing in a few months.i m a little confused.should i go with 9800gt?

[NIGHTMARE]

cuda is a big but there is time for that put 1000 bucks more and buy palit 4850

[topgear]

If you don't wanna spend 1-1.5 K more then go with 9800GT. you won't regreat it.

But it's recomended to go with palit 4850 as nightmare said. It's better than 9800gt, 9800Gtx & as of now it's the best VFM card on the market.

I don't think that I will need that much firepower as I'm gonna game @1440*900 only.
besides, at my place 4850 will cost no less than 10k and i'll also hv to spend on psu.one thing that i wanna know is, how much is the performance difference between 4670 and 9800gt and also between 9800gt and 4850.
one more thing, I have a 450w psu(some local company).It gives 18A on 12V rail,I don't know its efficiency though.Will it suffice if i go with 9800gt or 4670?

And 1 more thing.. why on earth is 8800gt costlier than 9800gt?is 8800gt better?

Ex-
4670-100

9800gt-150to 160 more or less

4850-200
can't anymore simple than this

4650-100


all 8800gt were made on 65nm while some 9800 were made on 65nm while later ones are made on 55nm.but all 9800 have hybrid sli support whether 55 or 65nm.8800GT also came in factory overclocked version while 9800 are coming higher oced version.

But thee is no difference in speed and performance in the stock version of 8800gt and 9800GT because core and memory speed is same.only difference is hybrid sli.And that feature will only be used if u have an nvidia chipset with onboard graphics

I am thinking of going for a laptop rite now. With so much up in store for the desktop market i better hold back before buying a gaming desktop rite now. Whatever i buy rite now is going to get outdated within 6 months. :(
So, i am getting a laptop for now(i'll need it anyways).
Any idea how good is a 9600M GT graphics card? qill i be able to play all games rite now? Nothing might max out but still... will i be able to play everything in good graphics or not? Anything higher is too costly to get in India :(

If you want PS3/Xbox360 like performance, you need these:

1) Intel Core2duo E8400 or higher processor
2) HD4850X2 or HD4850 or higher graphics.
3) 2Gig/4Gig ram

I know it pisses you off but lolumad ? HD4850 or even an 8800GT meets and exceeds the graphical power of PS3. Sure its Cell Processor out-performs lower end Core 2 Duos and Quads but Nehalem and upper end Quads beat it. PS3 runs on 256MB GDDR3 VRAM based on NVIDIA 7 series :P.

thank you for your advice,i liked the graphics card u suggested

Ur mobo does not need to support DDR3, only it shud have PCI Express x16 slot tht's all

You can't get a 4850(Palit) below 9.5k anywhere in India, 4670 still around 6k. I just checked them(in Kolkata).


4850 is 9.7k , not less

[comp@ddict]

Xpert Vision is 9.4-9.5k

@comp@ddict:so with this card i can play all the PS3s PC edition games till PS4 console is released
Multi-platformers are tweaked for each system they are developed for so there is no relation between the performance between different platforms.Anyway PC games come out to be way better than console counterparts AFA mid to high end HW is concerned.
IMO try get a card with 512 MB ram.

Hello Friends, Nvidia has released 180 series(Big Bang II) drivers for its graphics card, but so far they have added support only for the 9 series and 200 series graphics cards(8800 is exception), why they have not added support for cards like 8600gt and 8600gts???:mad::mad:. We already know that even 9300 or 9400 are newer cards they cannot reach the performance of 8600 series... But why Nvidia is not adding support for these(8600) cards?????????

hey, i currently have a hp desktop pavillion a1310in (Proc: Pentium 4 2.93GHZ, Mobo: Asterope, GFX Card: Integrated ATI Radeon XPress 200, RAM: Transcend 2GB 667mhz), I recently replaced it's stock 250W PSU to an Intex 450W PSU, and also installed 2 gigs of RAM. (previously had 768MB RAM)

However, when I try to install an XFX 8600GT 256mb DDR3, the system doesn't boot. What could be the problem?

Dear Guys,
I bought a new system after your suggestions..
Pentium C2D 8500
Corsair 2 GB RAM
MSI P45 Mobo
Palit 4850 Sonic Graphics card
22' monitor
Coolermaster EP 500w
Coolermaster Elite Cabinet

But when i start the sys, i get lots of red lines and dots all over the monitor. I checked with other PCs and confirmed that there is no issues with the monitor. And when i play a game.. the monitor justs goes blank when the game tries to autochange the resolution needed for the game... :(

Anyone experienced this? hope this is a graphic card issue.. kindly advice on how to proceed..:confused:

My cousin recently purchased a Intel G33 based system. He now wants to buy a graphics card for his gaming needs. However he needs it under 3k budget. Is their any GFX card better than the onboard G33 that will fit the budget? He has 2GB DDR2 800MHz RAM.
Your suggestions needed.

[Psychosocial]

blueshift, tell him to extend his budget coz you can get a ASUS PCIe 8600GT 256MB GDDR3 for 3.5k which is a good and VFM card for that budget. Otherwise, take a look at the 9400GT and 8400GS (not recommanded at all for gaming).

[NIGHTMARE]

go XFX or Asus 8600GT at least

are u insane palit hd4850 sonic needs more than 500 watts power , its 3 phase power system uses more power than normal hd4850 , sonic is 8 pin power supply so go for corsair hx620 //

[uchiha_madara]

@arun thulasidharan:If PSU has high efficiency 500W is enough.Stupid question but have you connected the 8-pin connector to the card.
I have read on the net that Palit is having some issues with their SONIC edition GFX cards something to do with driver and something.

You could put an E7200 and do something like them.

[ToxinX]

Hey guys I'd appreciate some help here.
I have just come into posession of a Sapphire HD 4850 512MB; its the version with the dual slot heat sink.

Now my rig is/was a standard Lenovo 3000 H100 series. It had 512 MB RAM and a 450W SMPS. I had asked to not play with the OEM PSU as they suck big time but apparently the smartass decided to install it without adding additional RAM or using a good PSU. My dad tried it out in his office but it worked there; but when i plugged it in at home; the system just won't start up.

He took it there again and apparently the system works without the GPU. He tried the GPU on in another computer and then that stopped booting.

BUT it did work that one first time when it was first plugged in.

The assemblers here have hardly ever seen a dx 10 card; let alone install one. The fact that he was all gung-ho over installing it without enough memory and on an OEM PSU shows that he probably handled a 6xxx last.

NOW, what i need to know is:

Q1. Should I go for a cooler master extreme power 500W PSU? Will that help fix the issue?

Q2. Did something damage my GPU? (Please say no!)

[beta testing]

It's obvious here that the PC isn't booting due to the additional power required by the gfx card. There's no damage to the gfx card IMO. And yes, better change the PSU. The one you've suggested is a good buy.

AFAIK, your GPU is not damaged. But I can be wrong. I suggest you go for a Cosair VX450W PSU (it delivers upto 520W of power) and 2GB of RAM because 512MB of RAM will be a serious bottleneck for a HD4850.

pl help!!Dude you got a nice rig there and I too think you would be better off with a better PSU but you might want to check in on your temps for processor mainly but might as well for graphics card.
@ToxinX:Assumingfrom above post you have system 512MB RAM ,you need 1GB min system ram to run the card as per the recommendation of ATi/AMD on their site.
Use temp monitoring utility like core temp and gpu-z for cpu and gpu resp.Use intel test burn to stress cpu and check temps to find whether proc is shutting down to prevent damage.
Also if your card has internal power connector is it properly attached.If all things check out then you have gotta buy a new PSU.

No, then your PC will crash, or automatically restart in less severe cases. This will eventually lead to component failures starting with HDD and then the GFx Card after some time.

sorry i have no great knowledge abt latest cards...i dont know the difference between gs,gt,gtx etc...also dont know abt ddr2 ddr3 cards...
i am having doubts abt 8600gt 256 mb ddr3
will it support my board...? (intel d101ggc) dont know whether pci e is 1.1 or 2.0...
also any conflicts with my ram...? bcos it is ddr 1
can i play games which requires 512 mb graphic memory(as it is 256)....?

[tanmoy_Siliguri]

see if compare 512MB DDR2 vs 256MB DDR3....obviously DDR3 is the best..quantity is not the factor..the factor is abt in how speed it can works....so u should go for DDR3 bandwidth rather than DDR2...8600GT is one year old chipset from NVIDIA still rocking & HD4350 is very latest chipset from ATI hope will rock as entry level..both r DDR3 bandwidth...go for these link...read reviews........
http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3444&p=2
http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=2975

I personally think MSIHD4350 would be better as it is latest..also have 512mb ddr3..price is just 3350/-
u dont need to think abt gtx or gt....it is above that........
And be cool ur intel d101ggc will definitely support it...PCI Express 2.0 is completely backward compatible with v1.0 & 1.1...& ur ddr ram will also cause no problem..
u can play all latest games in 1024*768 in medium setting..

i need to play latest games smoothly in 1024*768 and can be played in future too

got some suggestions
8600GT
9500GT etc
what is their performance with latest games and will it support games in future...?
If i am looking for a card which performs in future 2years,what amt should i invest?
Most games requres 512 mb graphic memory if i buy 256 mb ddr3 version will it support 512 reqd games...?
I am totally confused...

First of all, you want everything but dont want to give anything. Second, no grafix card survives to play games @max for 2yrs... still if you want it, try getting a new 790i mobo, Q9450 proccy and 3xGTX280 grafix cards... all will cost around 1.2lacs or more :|.

Your best bet would be a 9500GT or HD4650.

@ ajai5777

Dude,particularly for ur budget HD4350 would be the best...but as Psychosocial said no card will live for 2 years @max..u have to change it,if u want max performance..if u want more then u have to give more...thats the policy.....but if u take 9600gt or HD4670,that will cost around 6k-6.5k..then it can take at least 1.5years,but gradually decreasing its performance

Choose EVGA 9600GT super clocked (or)

Palit HD 4670

HD 4670 is latest and cheaper than 9600GT

9800GT is available for 7.2k/- which is better than both

or
sapphire 4830 @8.5k

[Psychosocial]

^Get the Palit 9800GT... BTW, if you can increase your budget, get the HD4850 which is around 25-30% faster than 9800GT and costs 9.2k :).

[sekhar_xxx]

I am planning to buy the palit hd4850 sonic which costs a little more than 11k.(source- theitwares.com) It has an 8 pin power connector.can i connect this card with my coolermaster 600w psu? Or is there any changes that i need to make?

[Psychosocial]

^^AFAIK, there wont be any problems.

I want to buy the graphic card+psu and my budget is limited to 10-10.5k.suggest the cheapest psu for 9800gt.
BTW is there any performance difference between 9800gt and 4830?i've read somewhere that 4830 can easily be overclocked to match the performance of 4850.in that case won't 4830 make a better choice?

As u can overclock also ,HD4850 is diff in performing in such case u can go for 9800gt its good or look for EVGA 8800GT , but 9800GT & 8800GT are same chipset ***

go for 9800GT + 500watts cooler master EXT power

HD4850 sonic is very good choice bro , then cooler master EXT power 600 watts is also cool ............ :p no probs happy gaming

HD4830 is a lil hot and OCing will make it more hotter :). The cheapest PSU would be a CM-EP500W for around 2.5-2.8k.

[comp@ddict]

U can wait for a week more, and save up, HD4850's worth it, so I strongly suggest that.

Else as Psychosocial has sugegsted

I have intel DG33FB motherboard and xfx 8400gs. Now I want to upgrade my graphics card. my budget is only 6000 to 8000 not anymore. Suggest me a good XFX graphics card. How about 9600gt or 8800gt ??? is my motherboard compatible ?? (only XFX is available in my village)

if u want to overclock ur GPU so buy 4830 non-reference model cooler model so there is not big issue of heat and cooler master PSU r ok but i suggest u to increase ur budget nd go for corsair 450 this PSU is more efficient than CM-650

Can anyone tell me where i can buy the palit hd4850 sonic in mumbai? Also,ive read that this card has a dual slot cooler.what does that mean & how am i going to instal it on my asus p5kc m/b?please reply as ive never assembled hardware before!

You can get it at Lamington Road... many shops have it there. Dual Slot cooler means the cooler is big so it will block the PCI or PCIe slot next to the PCIe x16... in short, one grafix card will take up space of two kept side to side but it will run a lot cooler. The normal Palit HD4850 doznt have dual slot only the SONIC has dual slot cooler. You can install it simply by inserting it in the PCI-e x16 slot :D.

[sekhar_xxx]

Thanx a lot.

is 10450 for toxic edition? palit sonic edition doesn't have heatsinks on RAM and power modules whereas sapphire and HIS both have realy good coolers.

is Arctic-Cooling Accelero Twin Turbo or Thermalright HR-03 available here? What is its price?

There should be a small LED at the back of the card beside the cooler exhaust ports, if the card is properly powered it should light up, its very faint though, turn off room light to see it.(Its there in my EVGA 9800GTX+, may be you also have one somewhere).

remove one ram stick. set pcie to top priority in display selection in the bios. . remove all OC settings and get everything back to stock .. fit the card in ( make sure u've connected the pcie power connector ) and give it a whirl .. if it still doesnt work , try it on some other pc.

quick question guys....how good is the 8800?i mean when in its time.

[comp@ddict]

in it's time, it rocked. now it's useless(nxt to actually)

Especially when 9600GT is like a slowed down 8800GT and HD4850 is an 8800ULTRA king

Useless ? Really ? I am not teling this bcoz I own one but IMO 8800GT rox. I dont advice to buy it now but it plays any game @Max on PC except that Crysis. But still, today, if you want VFM, get the HD4850.

[mib2_007]

how much does that one cost? toxic edition is also shown on thier india site

[damngoodman999]

8800GT is not bad but comparing the price its useless , when it comes to 6-7k means 8800GT will be VLM

In terms of performance,is there any major difference between palit hd4850 standard edition & palit hd4850 sonic? Will these cards support upcoming games like gta 4 & gears of war 2? Is the standard palit hd4850 better than the zotac 9800gt & gtx?
