[cybershastri]

Hey bendre, Buy a 6600GT 128 MB. It is a very good card which fits your budget.

[wizrulz]

When u have a 10K budget for graphics card do not thnk go for 6600Gt w/o doubt its the best card for that kinda budget :lol:

[wizrulz]

....btw....now where is nvidia experince centre now???
Hey buddy never heard of the nvidia experience center that to even in lamington road...... also could locate any of it when i visited lamy many times during my pc upgradation process :lol: :wink:

[deathvirus_me]

[direct_2d]

Is 6600GT 128 better than 6600 256?
Why?

[deathvirus_me]

hell yeah .. a 6600 gives about 1/3 performance of a 6600GT ...

compare this :

6600 nonGT : stocked at 300/500 , 128bit ddr mem (2.8ns/3.0ns) .. 7.8 GBps memorybandwith
6600GT : stocked at 500/1000 , 128bit ddr3 mem. (1.6ns/2.0ns) .. 15.63 GBps memory bandwidth

the higher memory bandwidth means better performance at higher res. with aa,af ...

[akshayt]

6600gt may atmost go abt 80-90% of up or lower to 6600 vanilla

I'm sick of seeing so many graphics cards related threads. Now I have made a new thread. Now post all your GFX card related questions and queries in here. Whether it is price, whether it is which card to buy and whether it is nVidia or ATi, anything which includes graphics cards. And mods please make this thread this sticky. So that it stays on the top for everyone to see. This will make it easier to find the thread for graphics cards and also it will make it more neat. hi geek_rohit I have bought recently XFX 5700LE 256MB graphics card for Rs.3500/-. I have seen replies that it sucks, is it true if it is then tell me what to do? After one month it has started giving problem that driver failed to draw and system is gets restart again & again. Is there any solution???

Well the 5700LE is an entry level card so don't expect much performance from it. Now as for your problem, how the trouble started, was it sudden or after u installed some software or tinkered with ur hardware. Since ur system keeps on rebooting I doubt it is a GFX card prob. Some thing else is wrong. Now if after powering on nothing is diaplyed that mean the GFX card isn't working. If the POST messages are displayed that means some other hardware problem is there, and the card is OK. Check all the cables and see for some loose connections. See if it gives some beeps.

[rajendra99]

Hi,

I have AMD Athlon 2800+ CPU and 1 GB RAM with a 21" monitor.

I want a new graphics card that will let me play GTA San Andreas at 1600X1200 with antialiasing and anisotropic filtering. My motherboard has AGP slot. My current card GeForce 5700 LE can play only at 1024X768 and without antialiasing.

What card do you suggest at lowest possible price? And where to get it in Mumbai (phone no. will be appreciated, I don't live in Mumbai).

please help...

[deathvirus_me]

@rajendra99 : atleast a 6800GT or a X800XT ........

@QwertyManiac : ha! ha! i wish u had the luck that i had when i sold that card .... i sold the one i had for 4k's ... that too only 6 months ago ....

[rajendra99]

thanx deathvirus,

but 6800GT is very expensive (over 23K). Won't a 6600GT do? It is available around 10K. And I need VGA out, not DVI.

Any ATI card compareble with 6600GT? Who stocks ATI cards in Mumbai?

[Ringwraith]

1600*1200 plus AA/FSAA will be too much for the 6600 GT...however i guess u can run it without the eye candy at this resolution at a playable framerate.

ps.@ rajendra wat 21" monitor do u have? how much did it cost?

Well thnx buddy, there was really a driver problem. I installed sp1 and updates using autopatcher then i re-installed my graphics driver again and my problem was solved. This problem was actually started after month .I checked everything, card is alright, well there is also no latest driver for this card available after v56.55. Latest driver provided by nvidia v77.00 something does not support this card.

Well i want to ask that is the price 3500/- is ok or not or i have been looted.

[rajendra99]

Ringwraith, I have Samsung Syncmaster 1200NF. It cost me 50K about 18 months back.

[deathvirus_me]

@Ringwraith : hey i own a 6600GT .. i am able to play all the current games 1280x1024 , 2x/4x aa , 8x/16x af at maxed out settings ...... and so i really dont care about playing games at 1600x1200 .... and if u want proof then u can visit the following link to see some screenshots i've taken during gameplay ....
http://s4.invisionfree.com/friendzforlife/index.php?showtopic=254

the only radeon card comparable to the 6600GT is the x800 (not x800pro/xt) ......

Important : A friend of mine just got a GeForce 6200 128mb 64bit mem. agp8x card for just 3800 bucks .... so i think even the low end fx card will be out of the market soon .... (like the fx5700le) ......

@rajendra99 : ok .. but dont get anything less than a 6800 (nonGT/nonU) ... it shouldn't cost much more than a 6600GT ....

[Ringwraith]

yeah dude me getting the leadtek 6600GT extreme on monday too :) , btw rajendran was asking abt 1600*1200 res...ofcourse the 6600GT can handle almost every new game @ 1280*1024 at decent framerates

[deathvirus_me]

@ Ringwraith : I've got the XFX 6600GT Gamer's Edition ... i consider myself the lucky one as they have ceased manufacturing this card for the agp8x anymore ....... comes with 1.6ns ram modules ... very good at oc'ing .. i managed 595/1225 with the stock heatsink .....

Hey i get 60.5 fps in CS : Stress Test at 1280x1024 , 4x aa , 16x af , maxed quality , vsync off ......

[sesi5674u]

Hey asus one's are pretty good ....

[deathvirus_me]

Anyone knows how to get a BFG card in India ???

[Ringwraith]

dont think ne1 retailer keeps BFG cards here in india...thr was discussion on BIG cards which are probably frm the same fab factory as BFG's cards...so maybe u cud try that thread....

[magnet]

guys i dont hav xperience on graphic cards...but i know on 1600*1200 6600gt doesnt work......got this frm xbitlabs.com.......

[deathvirus_me]

hey .. my friend recently brought a big card ... hell i think my xfx performs better than that at stock ...

Actually the 6600GT is a bit bottlenecked by its 128bit mem. interface at 1600x1200 .... i've seen people playing games at 1600x1200 with a 6600GT but they prefer 1280x1024 with 2x aa more ....

check this link...i decided frm here..may b i m wrong...

[nishantv2003]

hi guyes,
when i went to buy me a graphic card(128MB,8X,AGP) i only had 2 options because of my budget (2k-2.2k),
so my options were-
1.XFX 5200 (nvida) -2.2k (with video out but w/o DVI port)
2.ATI 9250 (Mora Board) -2.2k (with video out and DVI port)
so i asked the shopkeeper which one should i choose(i didnt needed DVI port),
so he suggested me ATI 9250 and i bought it.
Now you guyes tell me did i made a mistake or was it a good buy?

P.S. i got 789 3d marks from 3d mark 03 and my config is Amd 64 athlon 3000+, msi k8mm-ilsr, 512 mb 400 fsb ram and 80 gb sata.

regards,
nishant

[Ringwraith]

789's too less! i used to get 1100 3dmarks with my fx5200, and a much less powerful system (with regards mobo+cpu+ram)

[nishantv2003]

thanx Ringwraith for your reply.
for how much and when did u bought fx5200.
and what can i do now??
should i sell it or keep it.

[deathvirus_me]

dont go by ur 3dmark score .... the fx5200 might score better than the 9250 in benchmarks coz the former support sm2.0 while the later only sm1.1 ... but in-game the story will be a bit different ...

[Choto Cheeta]

http://users.erols.com/chare/video.htm

here is a link... cheak it out... all the cards compaired here..

humm dont know whether any one has posted it or not....

[dragonball]

ok, unfortunately, i have to choose between these 2 only- GF526 or "Intel Extreme Graphics 2". So i wanna know which is better compartively in Game-Performance(FPS at max 800*600)?
i usually play NFSU2, Quake3, etc.

Thanks.

[Ringwraith]

thanx Ringwraith for your reply.
for how much and when did u bought fx5200.
and what can i do now??
should i sell it or keep it.
i guess its a 64-bit memory interface version of 9250 which explains the low scores! if u ve already bought it...dont think thr's really anything which u can do now..can u?! anyways i think u shud ve bought atleast a geforce 6200!

[deathvirus_me]

yeah ... the 6200 128mb 64bit ver. cost around 3800 bucks now-a-days ..........

[nishantv2003]

thanx for your replys guyes, much areciated.
and i think i will stick to it b,coz the amount of money i spent can get me this only.
well iam not a hardcore gamer(only play nfs u/g 2) so it suits me.

[godsownman]

I have got a friends staying in the USA .

He has recently come to India. He wants to buy the EA sports Cricket 2005 game CD.Now he is facing a problem . He read on the box that the game requires a ,

Smile "32MB accelerated graphics card."

Now he is wondering what he should do as he has got an ,

Smile "Integrated GeForce 2 GPU ( Graphics processor unit card ) already in his system.

Will the requirement about the graphics card be satisfied with what he already has installed in his system.

If not then which card should he purchase for the system and about how much will it cost him.

Should he buy it here or there.

Also, what is the difference between Geforce 1, 2, 3

Please help me so that I can pass on the message to him.

If you need any more details or if anybody is using this Game please do help.

Thanks a lot for your time and patience.

[godsownman]

[akshayt]

look in graphic card thread
don't take mx 4000
don't take any geforce 4 now

also,geforce 2 will barely play any game,only some that too may not be highest and full smooth
but gameslike fifa and cricket,just try and tell

[prathap_lab]

hi,
which one is better?

1) geforce fx5200 (256MB)

2)Radeon 9250 (256MB)


please reply.

thank you.

[deathvirus_me]

I'd recommend none as the GeForce 6200 128mb agp8x card cost around 3800 now-a-days .. which is ,,, in fact,,, less than a FX5200 256mb ...

[JOHN]

HEY I WANT TO BUY A GRAPHICS CARD AT
ROUND ABOUT Rs10K .I'M INTERESTED ONLY IN NVIDIA . WILL IT BE GOOD TO HAVE 6600,OR SOMEOTHER?

[deathvirus_me]

u should be able to get a 6600GT for just over 10k's .... get it .. its far better than a 6600 and will last a bit longer .....

[Aparajith]

Hi,

I am interested in the 6600 and 600GT versions. Can someone tell me the brand and the model name to go far ? I had narrowed down on the MSI non-Video in versions of the cards of 6600 and 600GT. Also is it better to go for an 128MB 6600GT or a 256MB 6600 ?

Model numbers respectively are :
NX6600GT-TD128E
NX6600-TD128E
NX6600-TD256E

Kindly suggest me the best card of these or any other better card too. Am looking at a price range of 10000 rupees.

Aparajith. S

[deathvirus_me]

a 128mb 6600GT is better than a 256mb 6600 .. mainly because the former uses ddr3 mem. clocked at 1000MHz and the later uses ddr mem. clocked at 500MHz .....

Also i'd sugget u to go for a 6600GT from XFX .. i dont know what others think about it .. but i'm really impressed with mine .. i reached a max. oc of 595/1225 with the stock heatsink .....

[rockthegod]

Just learnt that the prices of 6600 GT series is coming down !!!!

I currently hv 300 W PSU... do I need to get a 350 W one if I upgrade to a new Gfx card !!!!

[deathvirus_me]

Thanks Team.

[asdf1223]

after a long time time i finally decided to dump my fx5200 and go for a zebtronic 6800gt(AGP) this week end (I live in chennai,can directly walk int spencer plaza
make sure u get the leadtek card and not zebronics's own card.

[deathvirus_me]

@imagineer_aman : like i previously said .. get a 6200 ... it costs around 3800 and will last more than any other card ...

[Keith Sebastian]

Can anyone here help me find a Radeon 9800 Pro. I've had it with 6600GT and the omnipresent shimmering (in FS9). Ebay has a few listings for Rs22K. LOL. 22K for a card that performs below par as opposed to 6600GT. No online stores in India have it. I don't know anyone in my neighbourhood who has it, else I'd have gladly swapped. :lol:

Keith

[icecoolz]

Keith...I know the card is available in Bangalore but the reason why it is so expensive is cos its the platinum series which is available at the mo. The 9800 Pro's are hard to come by and even more so cos of the 6600GT's.

[abhilash]

Anybody who can help me take a decision....???

I wanted to play games like HL2,Doom3,Farcry,ColdFear, & others that needs Pixel/Vertex shader...
The preferred resolution is 800 x 600. with unwanted eye candies like.. aa etc off(i can live without AA )

shud i go for geforce Fx 5950 or 6200 non Gt..

Fx series or 6 series..

Really confused.. Please help. ^_^

[allwyndlima]

@keith:I remember the Powercolor Radeon 9800Pro was around 13k.Now prolly it must have reduced for sure.Where are you from?
If in Mumbai i suppose Lamington road is the one-stop-shop.

@abhilash:On the Agp front i would definetly ask you to go in for the 5950 or the 5950Ultra.This card can handle games at fairly high resolutions and guess what you can have those eye candy added to a certain extent too.

[deathvirus_me]

@abhilash : go for the FX5950 .. if u can then make sure u get the FX5950XT ... it'll whoop the gaming a** of a 6200 at any given time ....

[arunbj]

Which is the best graphics card for 2000-2500 Rs? Which is the best model in GEFORCE 4 series and how much it costs?

[infra_red_dude]

hey man you'll get a no-frills GFX 5200 card in that range. spend a bit more and get a 64-bit mem. interface GFX 6200.

[imagineer_aman]

umm..whats the cost of fx5950?

[deathvirus_me]

get a XFX GeForce 6200 128mb 64bit mem. agp8x card .. its priced around 3800 bucks .. and will whoop the gaming a** of any other card in this budget ....

[allwyndlima]

Which is the best graphics card for 2000-2500 Rs?
Since Fx 5200 was then only choice back then now its a different option as you can get the Geforce 6200 (Non-Tc) 128MB Vram AGP 8X card.Low-End model for the Geforce 6 series but a great buy compared to the FX5200.Plus it also Supports SM 3.0 which might prove useful in future games though this card wont run them at high resolutions.

Which is the best model in GEFORCE 4 series and how much it costs?
The best is Geforce 4 Ti4600 i suppose and the cost was somewhat around 4.4k sometime back not entirely sure though.

[QwertyManiac]

for 2-2.5 k u can get a high mbed geforce mx ot ti card...

[allwyndlima]

for 2-2.5 k u can get a high mbed geforce mx ot ti card...
Lol.MX series are a joke for purchase @ such budget right now.Their whole core is now outdated.Plus Ti4600 is somewhat better than an FX5200 but no way is it better than an Geforce 6200.

Hey Guys bought a Geforce 6800GT from Leadtech, graphics are amazing, though I play games only at 1024, anything more my monitor refresh rate goes down :cry: :cry: ,Currently playing SWAT4 and Men Of Valor ( after a series of patches of course)

[Aparajith]

Hi guys,

Just enquired the rates. I wanted to go for quite a good graphics card. I have three queries :

1 . Should I go for LEADTEK or XFX 'cos my dealer says LEADTEK is better.

2. Should I go for a 128 MB 6600GT or 256 MB 6600 ? By the way what is the difference between the two. I use my system for lots of A/V encoding and graphics renderings. How much of an improvement will I achieve ? Will the extra cast between a 6600GT and 6600 be worth the money [ A diff. of around 4000 bucks ].

Thank u guys,

Aparajith .S

[deathvirus_me]

Should I go for LEADTEK or XFX 'cos my dealer says LEADTEK is better.

i'd prefer xfx .. i'm using a 6600GT GE from xfx currently and am really very impressed ..

Should I go for a 128 MB 6600GT or 256 MB 6600 ? By the way what is the difference between the two. I use my system for lots of A/V encoding and graphics renderings. How much of an improvement will I achieve ? Will the extra cast between a 6600GT and 6600 be worth the money [ A diff. of around 4000 bucks ].

this also depends onthe rest of the system .... coz if ur processor bottlenecks the 6600GT the ur better off saving money by buying the 6600 ...

here is a bit of a comparison chart :

6600
memory type : ddr
memory interface : 128 bit
core clock : 300
memory clock : 500

6600GT
memory type : ddr3
memory interface : 128 bit
core clock : 500
memory clock : 1000

so unless ur into gaming .. get a 6600 128mb ver. and save all the money for ram maybe ...

Hi guys,

I myself would prefer Leadtech since you can directly drop in to zebtronics shop at spencer or Delta buy yourself a winfast at extremely competitive prices ( Since you are at chennai) and the Leadtech overclocks extremely well also.
XFX is also decent , though it might be a bit more costly, but if you want xfx drop in directly at rashi peripherals in egmore.
Stay away from the plain 6600 if you can , extra cash for the GT would be worth it.

[ghost24]

hi guys, im a liitle short on cash n can afford only geforce 6600 256mb pcie right now, which one should i go for??? i have been quoted 6500 for the xfx version and 5650 + tax for BIG, from big byte corporation.

bought a Geforce 6800GT from Leadtech, graphics are amazing, though I play games only at 1024

WTF ?? i got a 6600GT and i play games at 1280x1024 , maxed settings .. u should consider geting a new monitor dude ...

Anything more than 1024 the refersh rate drops below >85hz in my Lg monitor (normal vesion not pure flat) maybe a 19 inch monitor can help out , but not in a position to buy one, at least till the month end ( so that i can get my sal :wink: )
but seeing the way I spent the last two months sal, my parents might kill me :lol: :lol: :lol: .

enable vsync on higher res. if the monitor doesn't support higher refresh rates at that res. .... i'm playing most of the games at 1280x768 ... monitor refresh rate tweaked to 90Hz .... coz my monitor supports 1280x1024 at 65Hz ....

[aceman]

how did U tweak your monitor to get 90Hz refresh?

hey guys i wanted to about which to go for between 6600gt and 6800.And also pls give the price for these two and also the price of 6800gt...tnx

[rockthegod]

Hi guys,

Just enquired the rates. I wanted to go for quite a good graphics card. I have three queries :

1 . Should I go for LEADTEK or XFX 'cos my dealer says LEADTEK is better.



I myself would prefer Leadtech since you can directly drop in to zebtronics shop at spencer or Delta buy yourself a winfast at extremely competitive prices ( Since you are at chennai) and the Leadtech overclocks extremely well also.
XFX is also decent , though it might be a bit more costly, but if you want xfx drop in directly at rashi peripherals in egmore.
Stay away from the plain 6600 if you can , extra cash for the GT would be worth it.


Yup.. if u r at chennai then its better 2 go 4 a LeadTek 6600GT (if ur opting solely for 6600GT and under not ne 6600/6600Gt dilemma) becoz the leadtek is factory overclocked (550/1120) and has better heat sink so u can get better performance than a XFX 6600GT 128 MB (500/1000) in normal non-overclocked mode. For rest of India, I think XFX 6600GT will rock !!! The one from leadtek will cost 11,500 bucks from Zebronics in Chennai.

[neoalies]

I own a Gigabyte 7VKMP-P Mobo. though it already got an Inbuilt display support but I am planning to buying a new graphic card. The mobo only supports 4x interface slot. please suggest me a good graphic card which got the 4x interface support.


Thanks !

[deathvirus_me]

@neoalies : get a 6200 ..

[raj14]

So anybody knows the price of XFX GeForce 6800Ultra? i saw a BFG 6800Ultra seeling at 20k!(super bargain) at ebay.in(bazee.com) :D

[nishantv2003]

for tweekin your monitor use ReForce but use it on your own risk.

Thanks ! an 8x AGP Card will automaticly scale down to work witha 4xAGP slot, you have quite a bunch of choices, mainly a GeForce 5200 if you're budget is low, you can get a XFX GF 5200 for Rs.2550/- wghich has 128MBsof Ram and offers Decent value. you can also go for an MSI VTD Series of FX5200s not only do have lots of free games, but their performance is also, quite good. though, i strogly recommend you go for a GeForce 6600GT AGP from LeadTek, it costs 11.5k, and with it, you cna play any game at high resolutiosn for isntance you can play Doom3 at 1024x768 with 2xAA and eye candy turned on and get a smooth Frame Rate! if you're budget ius slightly lower youc an go for a GeForce FX5700 or ATI 9600Pro, the 9600Pro offers high VFM< since priced only at 6k it can go head to head with sub 15k cards! FX5700 on the other hand isn't a Power house, but gets the job done; a Greta choice would be 9600XT from ATI a tasty performer it can play HL2 at High resolution with AA and AF, i don't know the latest price so :) if you're budget is High End, go for a 9800XT, you can also choose to go with ilks of 6800 or X800 but beware that these cards perform btter on PCI-E platform, and shall you choose to buy a AGP varient they will bea Overkill :shock: not to mention they are terribly expensive :!:

[deathvirus_me]

hey guys i wanted to about which to go for between 6600gt and 6800

the 6800 performs just better than the 6600GT at stock ... and i wouldn't waste a few thousand bucks just for 2-3 fps ...

[shaffysid]

hello ppl,
help me out here,
which one of the two is a beter deal
nvidia 6200 with turbo cache
nvidia 6600 picex
will 6200 do gud with 512 mb ddr ram for games?

[deathvirus_me]

the 6600 ofcourse ... and the 512 mb 6200 will not make much difefrence ...

[Sambit]

Hi guys ,

I want an AGP card for my system that will let me play all the latest games in medium settings. My budget is around 4-5K( Even 2nd hand cards will do as this just a temporary upgrade till I can upgrade my whole system).
I dont want to go for those crappy FX 5200 cards(until and unless i have to). What other options do I have in that price range ?? How good will be radeon 9600 or 9550 ? Any other optins in Ati or nVidia ?
By the way I have a AGP 4X slot on my motherboard that accepts only 1.5V video cards. Now, I know that all 8x cards are downward compatible as far as speed is concerned ,but it may be the voltage that may give some incompatibility issue as 8X cards work on 0.8V.
So kindly suggest me card that will work on my mobo.

Thanks in advance
Sambit

again an XFX GeForce 6200 agp8x 128mb 64bit mem. card ... priced around 3500 bucks ...

[abhilash]

OK guys ... I finally gave my Xfx 6200 256 mb Card back & took a Leadtek...a6600td 256mb GCard... feeling good now...(at least the box is much decent than the xfx i had... :-) )i got 2 Game DVD rom's free.

Played all the games in max setting & didn't see any performance drop.
Happy with leadtek..... Still confused...Is it leadtech or leadtek?? am on a ride...checked the leadtek website ...saw the same box that i bought....What a relief...Phew !!! ..

Playing Cold Fear now.

Hi all,

I'd appreciate it if any of you gave a list of Bangalore retailers for gfx cards. I'm looking to buy a Radeon 9800Pro as my current (and all GeForce 6 series) cards have a shimmering issue with FS9.

I'm looking for a R9800Pro below INR 10,000 (which is reasonable given they retail for <$140)

again an XFX GeForce 6200 agp8x 128mb 64bit mem. card ... priced around 3500 bucks ...

thanks a lot virus......but is it a good idea to buy a 64 bit version ??
and can you tell me few contacts( since ur also from kolkata) where i can get the AGP and non-TC version of 6200 ?

which is better radeon 9600 or nVidia 6200 ? I'll be playing mostly directx based games.

[deathvirus_me]

well its the best card with the 64bit mem. most of the card in this range have 64bit mem. .... and the ones with 128bit mem. have less powerfull gpu ..... with this 6200 us hsould be able to play Doom 3 at 1024x768 , medium , 2x aa ..... which i think is better than the other cards in this budget range .....

personally i'd suggest u to wait some more time .. get some more bucks and get a 6600 .... that will be a good choice at this moment ...

U can contact "Eastern Logica" or "Sabu Peripherals" ... they will give u a very reasonable prices for the card ..... both are near chandni ....

Hi Virus, since you are from Kolkata and I am from Kolkata as well, I was wondering if you could provide me any contact who sell Leadtek cards in Kolkata. I enquired around Chandni, and I found no dealer who sell Leadtek. Some of them haven't heard of it also. They only stock Asus and XFX brand of cards. I am looking for a Leadtek 6600GT PCI-ex. Since I will be going for an upgrade in the near future (as discussed in a separate thread), this is very important. Saboo don't sell Leadtek cards.

BTW, which card do you use at present?

make is XFX......and model is PV-T43L-UA
it doesnt have a TV out
u can get 6200 cards with TV out as well but there is an issue
XFX..cards which hv TV out are 64 bit( model no PV-T44-WA and PV-T44-WA)
there is no card which has 128 bit mem interfaced as well as TV out....
so if TV out is must then u hv to settle for a 64 bit card......(which may cost u less than mine

I am looking for a Leadtek 6600GT PCI-ex.

sorry dude .. but u wont find any Leadtek retailers in Kolkatta ... u can try Eastern Logical .. they can ship it over from Mumbai ... a few extra bucks may be charged too .... but my curiosity bites .. why not XFX ???

[digitized]

@Virus: You must be knowing that the standard clock speed of XFX is 1GHz (standard for 6600GT) whereas for Leadtek it is somewhat higher (1120Mhz) and hence leads in a lot of benchmarks. I have used the following webpage as reference:

http://graphics.tomshardware.com/graphic/20050404/geforce_6600-30.html

Leadtek, I think, is priced around 11.5k. So if I get a solid performer for a thousand more, I will take it.

Anyway, I will try Eastern Logical. Can you give me their contacts?

Thanks

[deathvirus_me]

You must be knowing that the standard clock speed of XFX is 1GHz

there is a factory oc'ed XFX 6600GT card too .. it comes at 550/1140 ....

Guys I need a bit of help this time. I am going to assemble a midrange computer for my brother and the alloted budget for graphics card is rs 3k-3.5k. So I have only three choices in this price range.
1.XFX Fx 5700 128 MB 128 bit agp 8x
2.XFX 6200 128 MB 128 bit. agp 8x
3.Asus Rdeon 9600 128bit 128 MB.
But I cant decide between this two.So help me choosing.

As far I know the specs of these cards are as follows........
Fx 5700 Core clock 425 Mhz
Memory Clock 600 mhz.
Memory Bandwidth 9.6 gb/s
Pixel/clock 4
Direct x Support 9.0
...
Nvidia 6200.. Core clock 300 Mhz
Memory Clock 552 mhz
Memory Bandwidth 8.83 gb/s
Pixel/clock 4
Direct x support 9.0c
ATI Radeon 9600
Core clock 325 Mhz.
Memory Clock 400 Mhz
Memory Bandwidth 9.2gb/s
Pixel /clock 4
Direct x support 9.0


Price : Fx 5700 = Rs 3100
6200 = Rs.3200.
ATi 9600 = Rs.3600

But the problem is this 6200 seems to be more feature rich than 5700 which is I think relaively powerful card. 6200 supports pixel shader 3.0 as opposed to v2.0 in 5700.. Also there will be hardware support for the upcoming windows vista UI in 6200 where fx 5700 will only give software support.6200 is also less power hungry.
On the other hand Fx 5700 is a more powerful card and a bit cheaper too.(I've seen a 5700 running NFS 2 UG @ 1024*768 with 2x AA nd 4x AF where 6200 cant even manage 800*600 with AA nd AF turned on)
I personally dont like ATi because their's driver is not as good as Nvidia nd sometimes creates problem...
So what should I choose? Plz suggest.
Plz dont post things like "increase ur budget nd get 6600" coz I cant expand my budget anymore.
Thnx in advance..

[zombie]

If he's not heavily into games, then go for 6200. Think about future when you try to use Vista. But if he can shell out some more later on then 5700 is the way to go.

[deathvirus_me]

I've seen a 5700 running NFS 2 UG @ 1024*768 with 2x AA nd 4x AF where 6200 cant even manage 800*600 with AA nd AF turned on

this is not true unless its a 6200TC ... plz dont mix up the TC and the nonTC ver. ... the 6200 easily manages NFSU2 at 1024*768 with 2x aa ....

Go for the 6200 ...

Buddy that was a non tc version running on a p4 2.8 ht with 865 gbf nd 512 mb ddr 400 in dual channel.YTry running nfs 2 ug with both 2x aa nd 4 x af( Which I mostly use) nd u will feel jerking. U can paly the game but the smoothness is no more.

DVD rom drive( i have spare cd writer)
(no ups,printer--- budget problem)

so is this configuration fine....?
i need help on motherboard.... many said that a gigabyte nforce 4 one is fine, cos in my city(lucknow n jodhpur) dealers generally keep gigabyte n Asus and don't keep things like winfast etc...
so............? i personally don think asus gives that good a performance,,?

Look ...first of all its not necessary that you go for the 4x AGP card. All 8x AGP cards are backward compatible that is they fit and work on you 4x AGP card.

Regarding the range you said you can get a 6600 NON-GT. I am not sure it this card comes in AGP mode too ( i m bit novice at this)

xfx 6200a agp 128 mb is around 4k. Core 350mhz, memory 400 mhz 64 bit. In 3dmark 2k5 pixel shader test, it gives bout 50 - 55 fps in 640x480 whereas the 5900xt gives about 35 -40. Stay away from the 5700, all the GF 5 series cards suck at rendering shader models 2 and up. I have tried out everything from the 5200 to the 6600GT on my comp, currently using a 5900xt. My config is athlon 64 2800, msi k8mmv, 512 mb hynix d43, 18gb cheetah on a buslogic scsi card. Also in 3dmark 2k3 the card gets bout 33% higher 3dmarks

Just so that you know the Fx5200 is available both in 128MB(128-Bit) and 256MB(256-bit) Vram versions.
Check this out for a lil update on your knowledge department
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/FX5200_Series.html
Next time just get your facts straight before your post.

@samanvya_ad:Its not necessary that you have to only opt for a Nforce 4 based mobo to run the 6600GT.You can very well go in for the MSI RS480M2 Based Mobo which supports all Socket 939 based AMD 64-bit CPU's as well as features a PCI-E X16 slot for a PCI-E based graphics card.It must be around 5k atleast.

AFAIK there are no 256 bit memory versions of the 5200fx ( available are 128 bit and 64 bit)

My config is athlon 64 2800, msi k8mmv, 512 mb hynix d43, 18gb cheetah on a buslogic scsi card. Also in 3dmark 2k3 the card gets bout 33% higher 3dmarks
u r damn right abt this man....
Thats wherre radeon is better.. but I stll prefer nvidia
So tomorrow I m going to buy xfx 128 mb 128 bit 6200
Thx everybody

Hey Guys My Budget is 4k
Pls Suggest me a good graphic card ATI or Gforce

[shwetanshu]

in d budget of 4K i think u can get NVIDIA 5200 retailing for less than 2.5K or ATI radeon 9550 (as told by my frnd) if u add little more money is retailing for around 4.7K

[ankitvarshneya]

But yaar less than 2.5k will b a card without its own ram, it will share memory..........???? :roll:

[funkymonkey]

Nope. 5200 has its own memory but if you have budget of 4K then you can get 6200 both in AGP and PCI express format depending on the motherboard you choose.

[deathvirus_me]

Hey Guys My Budget is 4k

XFX Geforce 6200 128MB DDR AGP8X 64bit mem. ...... should cost you around 3500 .... the best budget card right now i think ....

[supersaiyan]

i am planning to buy a new gfx card for my comp mainly for gaming and little bit video editing. but i am confused. i wanted to buy the gainward 6600gt golden sample but then i saw the powercolor x800xl. but the confusion is that the 6600gt supports dx9.0c whereas x800xl supports dx9.0b. so does that mean that the x800 xl will not run games based on dx9.0c or it will run the games but will use dx9.0b for gfx purpose. i really want to buy the x800xl cause it is almost at par with the 6800gt(read the benchmarks somewhere. i think tomshardware). i will be buying the pci-ex version of the gfx card. so which one should i buy. 6600gt or x800xl? pls help and fast

[asdf1223]

if u can afford a x800xl then go ahead its a monster 16pipeline card.otherwise a gainward/leadtek 6600gt should suffice.

[supersaiyan]

i can afford a x800xl. but the thing is that i read that it is dx9.0b compatible. that loses out on future proofing. but my question is whether the x800xl would be able to run dx9.0c games even though it is dx9.0b.

[deathvirus_me]

but my question is whether the x800xl would be able to run dx9.0c games even though it is dx9.0b.

yes ... the X800XL should run all dx9.0c games esily .... being a dx9.0b compliant card it features only upto sm2.0 support ..... this means that u'll not get to use things related to sm3.0 ... specially HDR .... now on the other hand the 6600GT is sm3.0 and dx9.0c compliant .. it can use HDR but the performance of a 6600GT with HDR is very poor ... only the 6800GT and above can do well with HDR enabled .... so i'd vote the X800XL .....

hi every one,
i just jot my self 'BIG GeForce 6200 256mb 64bit' AGP card for R.s.4250 from nehru place Delhi.
now please tell me is it a good buy or wasthere an other alternate at this very price.
p.s. i have not installed it yet that is y iam asking u for comments.
tahanks.

[sidewinder]

Go ahead.U wont find a Dx 9.0c card at this price.The price is also right.

[rachitboom2]

]hey!! my vendor has got a CLUB 3D XGI VOLARI V8 ULTRA DUO (which he got from sumbody) and is selling it for Rs.2500/-. is it a good buy at this price????
it has got 256mb DDRII (clocked 950mhz) and 2 GPUs on a single board (each clocked 475 Mhz) with a 128-bit memory controller.

Seems to me like a good deal

[nishantv2003]

thanx for your reply sidewinder.
i also think this was a good deal but please tell me something about 'BIG' the gpu bord manufactures.
i never heard about them.
thanx again

[sidewinder]

Well BIG means best in graphics...atleast they claim so.But its very similar to XFX Brand.Standerd budget solution.All cards are made with N vidia reference design so u wont find tweaks done by MSI nd Asus nd so in it

The packeging is also very basic.Only a driver cd,Quick installation guide and cables.Thats it..most probably u wont get any bundled full version game with it
The service is ok nd so the performance.If u are looking for a good budget solution then BIG or XFX are the answers.
U can go 4 it.Its not bad

I agree that it is not a bad deal but you can just not compare BIG with XFX as in many cases XFX can even outperform ASUS or gigabyte cards !!!

So no comparsion bwt BIG and XFX Cards !!!

which is better
nvidia 6200 256mb 64 bit AGP
or
nvidia 6200 128mb 128 bit AGP

i wanted to know this because, i was searching for nvidia 6200 128mb 128 bit AGP in nehru place but coudnt find one.
so, i bought nvidia 6200 256mb 64 bit AGP and i just wanted to know did i make any mistake :?:

[Ringwraith]

yeah nishant..u prolly did make a mistake! 256 mb offers no benifit over 128mbs with a low-end/64 bit interface card like urs

[lahratla]

I've recently bought a PC with the following configurations:
1. AMD Athlon 64 (939) 3200+ Processor
2. MSI RS480 (IGP) Motherboard
3. Digi-Giga 256x2 400 MHz DDR (Dual Channel)
4. Seagate Barrucuda 80 GB SATA 7200 rpm HDD
5. LiteON Combo Drive
6. Samsung SyncMaster 793 MB 17" FFST CRT Monitor
7. APC BackUps 500 Ups

Now I intend to buy a PCX Graphics Card under Rs 8K. Which one to choose, Radeon or GeForce? I've seen many reviews praising the GeForce 6 series but since the mobo chipset is based on ATI Radeon, will using a GeForce card affects the graphics performance? Will using the Radeon card yield best graphic performace instead of the GeFroce ones considering my budget.
Also, when is a graphic card card supporting DX 10(?) likely to be introduced, in the near future? If so, should I wait for it?

[hafees]

I bought an XFX Geforce FX 5200 graphics card for a price of 2200 Rs. Is the price ok?

[drvarunmehta]

If you stretch your budget just a little bit you can get a 6600GT. There won't be any issues using a nVidia card on a ATI mobo.

[vinayasurya]

I want a budget graphics around 2000-3000. Which is better ATi or Geforce? Also plz mention approx. prices

[mohit]

u can get the BIG Geforce 6600gt 128 mb for 9250/- .. its a very good card and people claim it is the same as BFG. it costs a thousand bucks more than your budget but its recommended.

The only way to increase the gpu performance is by oc'ing it .... or play the game at low res.

my frnd went to purchase 6600 grafix card but he found many variants like
gainward 6600 gt, MSI 6600, XFX 6600 and two three more.

what is the difference betwwen all the above cards, do the performance of the above cards differ? If yes why so , cause all these cards have same graphic procc.?

thnx 4 reply.

[deathvirus_me]

my 9250 se gives 3645 3d marks.may be a tc one.

what is a TC

TC -> Turbo Cache ..... it is a tech. by which the gpu is able to share system ram via the pcix architecture when its video memory runs short ....

And the 9250se is a Radeon card ... no way it can support TC ... only the newer low-end pci16x cards like the X300 from Ati can use a similar method termed Hyper-Memory for the Radeon series ....

and i got 3066 3dmarks(03) by running the test on 800x600 mode.

only bench ur rig at default settings ....

Here's a bit of info on the 6600 variants :

6600
no. of pixel pipelines : 8
core clock : 350 MHz
mem. clock : 500 MHz
video mem. : 128/256 MB
mem. type : ddr
mem. interface : 128 bit

6600GT
no. of pixel pipelines : 8
core clock : 500 MHz
mem. clock : 1000 MHz
video mem. : 128/256 MB
mem. type : ddr3
mem. interface : 128 bit

So a 6600GT is better than the 6600 in actual performance ..... different companies sell similar cards ... i.e. similar cores ... with their own tweaks if any ....

a 6200 you say..
hmm..
that'd be a 128mb/128 bit ddr card?
Also sholud it be a leadtek,XFX,gigabyte or something else..

Good enough?
Also I gave my comp specs abv beacuse i was worried that a kind of high-end card that fits in the 3k-4k budget may overexert my PC..
Is this something to be careful about with these specs?

The onboard video will auto disable itself when u insert that agp card but u may still have to disable shared memory in bios settings.
As far as card goes I would rather tell u to invest 1 thousand more nd get xfx 6600.

i want to buy a midrange gfx card for myself.
right now i am stuck on x800xl. but then i read abt the x800gto which is retailing for 14000. and i also read somewhere in this forum that the 6800gt is for 16k. now
which one should i buy from the following list-
x800xl
x800gto
6600gt
6800gt
pls help

[deathvirus_me]

x800xl
x800gto
6600gt
6800gt

For agp ??? then go for the 6800GT .. but i think only a vanillae pci16x ver. is priced at 17k's ... the agp one's cost much more .......

[supersaiyan]

i am going for pci-ex version. shouldn't i buy the x800xl cause its perfomance is almost equivalent to a 6800gt.

[Ringwraith]

get the one which is lower priced out of x800xl and 6800gt...altho i m biased towards teh x800xl since it can be overclocked to XT almost on the fly

however researched around a bit and found that it sort of maxes out arnd 440/1120 ..that is not to say that is a bad o/c ... arnd 10 perc o/c is pretty decent...a review's here

get the one which is lower priced out of x800xl and 6800gt...altho i m biased towards teh x800xl since it can be overclocked to XT almost on the fly

And the 6800GT can also be easily oc'ed to 6800U speeds .... and then the X800XL would be nowhere near .....

hii guyz i m plannin to buy a gpu soon so plz temme which pcie card is betta powercolor X800XT or Leadtek/XFX 6800GT?by the way wats the price of these 2 cards including taxes?

[mohit]

@Aniruddh
Leadtek/XFX 6800GT is a much better choice than a Powercolor X800XL. Reasons ,

1. X800 XL does not support shader model 3.0
2. No Cross fire support.
3. Cost is higher than a Leadtek 6800GT.

Leadtek 6800 gt is for 18,000+taxes while Powercolor X800XL is for around 20,000/-

I suggest going for a 6800 ULTRA though.

@panzer 6600gt with 256MB is far far betta then dat of X300 there is no comparison between the 2.and if u r planning to go for a 6600gt gpu chip then go for leadtek 6600gt bcoz its cheaper and betta performance wise then dat of XFX6600gt.for ati card powercolor is the best and its easily available.X300 256MB wil come around 5k and leadtek 6600gt 256 will come around 11.5k.6600gt 128MB wil come around 10k.

Hi, I received the following email from the Zebronics people in Chennai, the official distributors of Leadtek cards in India in response to my email query.

hi,

thanks for your interest in leadtek product.we do not have reseller in
kolkatta but i can arrange to ship from here directly it will cost you 10300+10% tax. You will receive the card within 2-3 days after the payment.

Price is OK I think. I had enquired about the extreme 128MB PCI-express edition.

[Ringwraith]

that is the best 6600GT ever....if its 6600gt u want this is the one to get ;)
i own one and get 4000 3Dmarks05 ...which is kinda the highest u can go with an o/c on the 6600GT!

:arrow: if u can find gainward then go for that it will come around 10k 128MB.Leadtek is very good even that will come around 10k.BIG is good and will be cheaper then other brand but performance wise its not as good as other company.BIG 128MB version will come around 8-9k.

:arrow: XFX is 3rd best and will be easily available and will come around 11k.

i have herd that XFX having heatsink problems

and also where can i buy the gainward from i am from hyderabad

[mohit]

@theg33k

go for BIG .. their 6600gt pcie is same as BFG .. and we know BFG is d best !! BIG 6600GT 128 mb will cost u around 9250/- .. but u want an agp version , that will definitely cost more. for gainward , check www.mediatechindia.com

@Aniruddh
he wants an AGP version not PCI-E .. all the prices u have given are for pci-e. AGP will be expensive.

[TheG33k]

thank you Aniruddh and thaks to mohit

but can any 1 of u tell me which manufacturers card will give me best performance.
@Aniruddh
u told that BIG cards are not giving good performance.

@mohit
what manufacturer would u suggest me to go for if i want a performance 6600 GT(AGP 8x) card. thanks for the link of mediateh,

[mohit]

AGP 8X 6600gt's are hard to find especially in India. Try looking for Leadtek , XFX , Gainward , BIG. BIG offers the most value for money and their perfomance is good too. i selected a BIG model for u ,

http://www.big-tek.com/geforce6600AGPgt128.htm

try getting this one. i hope it will be priced reasonably.

the fx5950 ultras phased out.only entry lvl fx series gpus
exist.but u can an 8x version of almost all 6 series card except 6200tc(and be glad u cant).the 6600gt costs 8k-11k depending on location and brand.

Without oc'ing eehh ??? If yess then may i know ur system config plz ????

And if u reached 4k's with oc then ur so wrong in thinking thats the highest .... i personally have reached 4.3k's+ with a very high oc'ing ... around 595/1225 ... and i've friends who have gone further ....

the leadtek card that ringwraith is talking about comes factory overclocked ...i dont think he overclocked it personally. so its d best for people who dont wanna overclock themselves.

240W power supply is a NO NO NO ... u will have to buy a min 350 / 400W power supply and that too from a reputed brand like Antec. and regarding cooling i dont think any additional cooling will be required for the 6600gt 8x gpu. just scroll to some posts above and see that somebody has just purchased a xfx 6600gt agp 8x gpu , ask him for further details regarding cooling n all.

[edgetec]

how much will it cost?

[mohit]

how much will it cost?

Antec Smart Power 2.0 400W - 3500/-
Powersafe 400/450W Gold Plated - 1800/-

and if u were asking about the cost of the XFX 6600GT 128 MB DDR3 AGP then its around 10,000/-

[TheG33k]

to be precise i got it for Rs. 9950(in hyderabad)

[cypher]

Plz suggest an good agp carg with 256 mb ddr memory, good clock speeds and which is worth the money(a budget card)
:D

[edgetec]

GeForce FX 5950 Ultra in better than 6600. If u r looking for a high end card go for GeForce 6600 GT

[TheG33k]

yea.
a DDR3 cardis far more better than 256 DDR card. if possible go in for a 6600 GT.

[rockthegod]

Hi, i am in a dilemma. I wanna buy a Gfx card (preferably from Kolkata). My budget is around Rs 15000. Shud I go for a 6600GT 256 MB GDDR3 or a 6800 NU 128 MB ?????

[TheG33k]

is it an AGP or PCI-E that you want to buy :?:

[Ankit]

a 6200 you say..
hmm..
that'd be a 128mb/128 bit ddr card?
Also sholud it be a leadtek,XFX,gigabyte or something else..

Found this somewhere:

LEADTEK A6200TD GEFORCE 6200 128MB 128BIT DDR AGP VGA DVI HDTV-OUT VIDEO CARD

[supersaiyan]

in this month's digit's a list they have specipfied the xfx6600gt 256mb version as the best in the midrange category. does a 6600gt 256 mb version(pci-ex) even exist?

Well it does .. it's priced around 14k's ....

But its no use getting a 256MB card with 128bit mem. interface .... the extra mem. will be bottlenecked by the memory width itself ....

[roccstar2]

I am considering buying a XFX 6200 GPU my comp has a 240 volt psu.. would this card run on this much power or would it need more???

And for the money I am paying for the 6200 (Rs 3500) is it a good eal? Or can I get something better within Rs 4000 for playing recent games like HL2?

thanks ...

thanks ...
all PSUs u get in india will be rated 220-240V ;) coz the bijli here is rated 220v/50hz
If u meant 240Watts, then u shud buy a new PSU now!

[roccstar2]

Right sorry about that... :oops:

So Ringwraith you are saying i won't be able to run a XFX 6200 GPU with my 240 watt PSU?

So whats my best option for a new PSU and how many Watts should it be..?

And is a GeForce 6200 for Rs 3500 a good deal?

[cvvikram]

In lower level, which is better Geforce XFX 5200 or Radeon 9200se.

[deathvirus_me]

In lower level, which is better Geforce XFX 5200 or Radeon 9200se.

None .... coz the 6200 128 MB ver. costs more or less like these .....

*PS* stay away from the "SE" cards from Radeon ....

wats the rest of ur config?
its always better to buy >400W of PSU power, and preferably frm a good company like antec,coolermaster,thermaltake,enermax...
im not so sure abt current prices of 6200..but its seems like u are getting an okay price for it

My current config is as follows:

Athlon XP 2000+ (1.6 GHZ)
FIC AM35
VIA VT8375
736 mb DDR Ram

Well what do you think? Can My current congif handle and run the 6200 AGP version?

Thanks for any replies..

[Ringwraith]

aye ur current config will run 6200agp very well!
since u are adding another component in ur computer 240W is no longer sufficient, I suggest u go in for around 350W of power.
shud serve u well

[roccstar2]

K thanks a lot dude... I can't wait to get my 6200... :)

And also a 350 or more watt PSU..

Please specify a decent Graphic card in the range 3-4K

Is BIG a good brand and are they're products reliable?

According to Last months review a 6600 from BIG should be around the 6000 mark.. and I have just gotten some more money.. so I can afford this 6600..

Do you think it would work well with my comp? And is it worth it?

Comp confing:
Athlon XP 2000+ (1.6 GHZ)
FIC AM35
VIA VT8375
