Whats the lowest price of a new 6600GT (AGP version) in india, of any make (xfx/bfg/other).

[harsh bajpai]

ok..

and what counterpart does ATI have in market?? and i think leadtek also has good support and better than XFX

Why the hell would you want to get ATi when Nvidia is still around?????
Nvidia rules buddy!!! get any Nvidia and it will most prolly beat it's equipriced ATi counterpart easily. you said you have 25K and you'll get some selling your 6600 then i say you should go fot the GTX. IT is the best, I'm using one for the last 3 months and have no complaints whatsoever infact i'm very happy with it's performance. I play all games at full settings smooothly.. :)

I also second that, although the X800XL is not a bad performer at all. So mid-range recommendations would be 6800GS and X800XL and for high end, there is the 7800 series (both GT and GTX), but I would prefer the 7800GT simply because of it's price to performance ratio and also the GTX is way too high priced here.

Not to forget...the latest high-end offering from ATI, the X1900 series (XT and XTX), but I doubt it will be available in India soon.

[cvvikram]

@digitized, right said dude.....even ATI products are equally good..

[comrade]

so 7800GT&GTX for high end gamers, 6800 series for midrange gamers...then wat about 6600GT users...?low end gamers? :shock:

[khandu]

hmm..

i was walkin lamington rd.. i was shocked to see 90% of shops did not keep 7800GT..

ATI does not have a good counterpart in market right now..

then i stumbled upon the leadtek distributor.. i dont like XFX any ways and i think BIG also sucks BIG time..

yeah my mind was fixed on Leadtek 7800GT..

only now i have to get rid of my 6600GT .. :(

[digitized]

so 7800GT&GTX for high end gamers, 6800 series for midrange gamers...then wat about 6600GT users...?low end gamers? :shock:

6600GT was the mid range card of choice six months back.

6600GT is going to struggle in future games, friend. Six months back, it was the hardware of choice among people worldwide as it was at a sweet point between price and performance. Now that place has been taken over by 6800GS. Signs are already there, have you tried the timeshift demo, or FEAR, for that matter in somewhat high settings? 6600GT is struggling to keep up. I tried it at a friend's place who has a 6600GT at resolutions over 1024X768 and...better not say it...

Read in some reviews that a 6800GS SLI setup matches the performance of the GTX 256MB in some respects and the combined cost of two 6800GS is less than that of the 7800GTX 256MB. But if you are particular about HDR and SM3.0 and the like TOGETHER, then might as well get the 7800 series.

[hotdogXP]

Good news for all ya ppl having only AGP based mobos, you can get in with the big league cards cuz nVidia has launched the AGP Version of the 7800series.

The GeForce 7800GS is the AGP variant of the PCIE 7800 model. It offers a G70 core equipped with the same 302-million transistors that all of the other parts in the series have. The core has six vertex shaders, 16 pixel shaders, and eight raster operation pipelines (with their double Z pipelines for 16 operations per clock).

Ya, I have also seen that news in some hardware review sites, but I don't remember exactly the speeds. Is it clocked at 7800GT/GTX speeds? Then it will be indeed good news for people with AGP based boards. Also is the performance comparable? And what about availability and price in India?

[hotdogXP]

The 7800GS reference card's core clock is 375Mhz and memory clock of 1Ghz 256MB GDDR3. In terms of performance I dont think it will match the power of the 7800GT PCIe card but its a close battle. gotta check the performance of the card when XFX, BIG, leadtek and others bring out the factory overclocked versions. It should probably be priced around 20-24K in India.

Hello people

Presently I have the following system config:
P4 2.66
512 MB (400 Mhz) RAM
64bit XP (Sp1)
ECS 915M5-GL board ( PCI-E Lite slot)
XFX 6200TC (onboard 64 MB shared 128 MB)
Clock speed 350 MHz and 500 Mhz for GPU and memory
Overclocked to 429 and 668 Mhz resp.
I just want to know about a better card than this one.
is there any other card below Rs 5000 that can give better performance than that. And also be available easily..
One of my friends has the same card but with 128MB onboard. (256 MB shared)..but memory is clocked at 400MHz and cant be overclocked much. I have not tested it...but its performance is only marginally better.
What do you suggest??

6200 128-bit is your best bet under 5000. The next option is 6600 but that costs around Rs.5700. One latest option is XFX 7300GS but that is having 64-bit memory (not sure) but you will be getting a Geforce 7 series card. The cost is around Rs.4900. Read some reviews on the net before you take your final decision.

All suck

Those all have 64-bit memory interface.

There is no PV-T43L-UA model at rptech.

Already invisible has suggested the best 6200 model.

If u can find it , then its ok.

U can search for it in Rptech site www.rptechindia.com which is the distributor of XFX cards in India.

[anilthomas26]

hey .....first let me give my system config.

AMD 64bit 2800+
ASUS K8N motherboard ( only AGP 8X slots :( )
512mb RAM
XFX geforce fx5200 graphics card

my budget is around 20k......i asked my dealer and he said that a geforce 6800gt wud cost around 20k

i am from kerala.....someone plzzzz tell me the best card i can get with this budget.......and i wud be thankful if someone cud tell me the prices of the cards in kerala........

[the mihir]

anilthomas26

in your budget u can get a 6800gt (256 mb) from leadtek...i think the xfx costs a bit more.....also think about the x850 from radeon.it costs around 22.

i think the 6800gt is still one of the best cards out there and u will be able to play all games with full aa af and hdr on at very high resolutions.

also check out the cooling before buying...if one card has a copper heat sink...prefer to buy that over those with aluminium heat sinks...

i have heard that agp 8x variants of the 7800gt are now available as well...but the cost will be high now...

go for the 6800gt and happy gaming

hey wats the ideal(stable) gpu core temp. for xfx 6600gt 256 mb.

im running it with p4 3.2, 945 gnt classic series mobo, 1 gb dual channel ram,
in a navtech cabinet with a big fan on the left side. im using a 450 watt power supply. there are a total of 4 fans : smps, processor, gfx and cabinet.

when i check the temp. of gpu core using card drivers after about 1/2 - 3/4 hours of playing bloodrayne 2, it shows a temp. of around 60 deg. and temp. threshhold of 145 deg.

Is it normal at this time of year in delhi or i need more cooling

Please tell me some good 4X AGP cards available now. My mobo manual says it supports AGP 4X.

[the mihir]

Please tell me some good 4X AGP cards available now. My mobo manual says it supports AGP 4X.

AGP 8x cards are backward compatible with agp4x buy any agp 8x card according to your needs and budget

entry level: nvidea 6200
better entry level: nvidea 6600
mid: nvidea 6600gt or 6800gs
high end: i think 7800gt is available in agp version

but u will not get the real performance as the cards will be scaled down.

can ne1 suggest ne 3rd or which is better out of the 2...

[ashnik]

i wanna know the which config will perform better

1> Asus A8n-vm with AMD 3000+ with onboard 6100/128shared ram
2> ne other mobo with AGP slot with FX 5200/128 MB

consider other components same for both

[MysticHalo]

Any1 knows where I can find nVidia and ATi retailers in Gujarat(or india)?
actually, I've got an oldie PC HP Pavilion and it can only get a PCI (not PCIe) card. so i wanna buy either an ATi radeon 9250 256MB PCI (Powercolor) or nvidia GeForce FX 5500 or 5200 PCI 256 MB( either BFg or XFX)PCI card.
I tried searching on the net and found ebay.in offering nvidia card for 4000+ Rs., whereas it was priced at around 60$ on sites such as Pricewatch.com
So i want to but the card directly from the dealer. Can any1 post the dealers e-mail link as well.
Thanks,
~Halo~

PS:And which card is better, Ati9250 or Nvidia5500

One of my friends bought a A8N-VM with a 3000+ and the performance is great. I would suggest this configuration simply because performance wise it is greater and you will get a Geforce6 series on-board GPU.

i can play doom3 at lowest settings with AMD 1800+ procie with 5200/128mb Agp 8x card...
is it possible on ASUS A8N-VM with 3000+ mobo.. can u test plz

coz the tests on some websites show that even if they used 3800+ and higher cpu a8n-vm could get 22fps in Doom3..

No. leadtek isn't bad. I have been using leadtek winfast 6600gt 128mb for 2 months now and it gives excellent performance. The fan provided doesn't look as graceful as XFX's but does a good job of keeping the temp. down.
But as u said GAINWARD is the best of the lot.
But opinion differ on user experience. :D
For example one of my friend bought the XFX 6600gt 128mb PCI-E which started giving problem such as corrupt display, so he had to get a replacement which after all worked fine. This doesn't mean that XFX is bad but that particular product was faulty.
And now he is using LEADTEK 7800 GTX Extreme, which gives excellent performance as a series 7 should give.
As for me just waiting for the 7800's price to come down. :wink:

Hi, you can buy XFX 6600 256MB DDR2 PCI-ex (assuming that you have a PCI-express slot in your board). 6600GT 128MB is priced around a 1000 rupees more.

by the way can i get a 6800gs for 14000 bucks....what other choice do i have in the price limit of 15000?

Ati X1600 Pro

No way, 6800GS is the best in that price range. Please buy it if your budget is 15000 bucks.

Hey guys,

Why is the price of 6800Ultra higher than the 7800 series of cards, is the ultra version of 6800 a higher performer than 7800 series???

Leadtek 6800 ULTRA 256MB = Rs.33,400/-
Leadtek 7800GT 256MB = Rs.24,400/-
Leadtek 7800GTX 256MB = Rs.29,400/-
Leadtek 6800 ULTRA 512MB = Rs.45,250/-
Leadtek 7800GTX 512MB = Rs.38,400/-

Foreign hardware and gaming review websites have also noted this fact. Perhaps the 6800Ultra series of cards are rarely available and also very expensive. On the other hand, the prices of 7800GT series of cards are steadily falling. That means that you are getting a higher performing card with less the price. This is a well known fact that 7800GT is obviously a higher performer that 6800Ultra series, simply because of higher clock speeds and 20 pixel pipelines per clock compared to 16 pipes of the 6800 ultra. Plus you are getting HDR and Shader Model 3.0 support and perhaps it can play the future direct X 10 games, which will make it's appearance later this year.

No one understands this absurd pricing by Nvidia, I strongly suggest you get the Leadtek/XFX 7800GT, if you have the money instead of 6800 ultra.

Well .... the 6800U and 6800GT's are no longer manufactured ...... so if u stumble upon one .. make sure u check the manufacturing date ..... these are now replaced by the 6800GS's ..... then comes the 7 series ..

[digitized]

Hello, can anyone tell me the safe working temperatures of 6800 series cards? My recently bought 6800GS is 45 deg on normal operation and goes over 61-62 deg on full load, i.e. playing Farcry, Doom3, Halo and other FPS. Is this safe?

[john_the_ultimate]

I think the temperatures are normal and u must also remember that temp. in kolkata is also rising (summer season is close).

[supersaiyan]

is an x1300 better or a 6200?? performance wise

[MysticHalo]

is an x1300 better or a 6200?? performance wise
Should be, according to the stats on the ASUS website and else where also (newegg and td). But i wonder if it is available in India.....and at what price(above10-12k will make no sense)

http://www.ati.com/products/RadeonX1300/specs.html http://www.nvidia.com/page/geforce_6200.html

Check out what u like.
PS: Both the cards r available in AGP versions.....r u looking for AGP or PCI-e

[supersaiyan]

i was just wondering not looking forward to buying the cards.

[sahil_blues]

i am really a rookie in all this....will an Intel 865G be able to support DDR3 memory??....also can anyone from dehi here give me a price update on nvidia 6600's and 6800's??...most probably i would goto nehru place to purchase the card....

Slightly off topic question, but where to post 3d mark scores, and how to post screenshots in any thread?

[kaustav_geek]

Hey digitized! what's your 3d mark'06 score??

[kaustav_geek]

To sahil blue:

Intel 865G doesn't even support DDR2 leave alone DDR3! I don't think your mobo has a PCIE interface.As for price for GFX cards:
6600 GT 128- Rs 7700/-
6800 GS- Rs 12000/-
These are for PCIE.I dont know for AGP interface.

[sahil_blues]

Intel 865G doesn't even support DDR2 leave alone DDR3!
what are you saying dude?? graphics card memory has nothing to do with motherboard memory as far as i have learnt recently.....

[digitized]

Hey digitized! what's your 3d mark'06 score??

Sorry Kaustav, I have not yet managed to download and install 3d mark 05 and 06. I have only the 03 version in which I got 11931 3d marks. Pretty good, huh? All credit goes to 6800GS...

[kaustav_geek]

To sahil blue:
I'm sorry for that goof-up. Yes, your mobo will support a GFX card with DDR3 memory,provided you have PCIE.Though these card also have AGP variants but the AGP interface doesn't offer a good bandwidth for heavy duty gaming. But i dont think your mobo supports DDR2 RAM ((FOR YOUR SYSTEM MEMORY))

To digitized:
You can get 3dMark '06 form this month's issue of DIGIT or CHIP.

[yogi7272]

HI TO ALL ,

i hve ASUS P4P800 E DELUXE MOBO WITH AGP 8X SLOT - 865 PE CHIPSET , 3.2 GHZ SOCKET 478 PRESCOTT , 1 GB TRANSCEND RAM ...

CURRENTLY USING FX 5200 ... :cry:
I AM LOOKING FOR 6600 GT AGP .. :lol:
XFX , BIG , GAINWARD OR LEADTEK .. WHICH IS THE BEST OF THESE .also pls mention thier prices .. i got the price of 10 k for 128 mb xfx which i think is tooo much .. :x budget is upto 9 k :D

[sahil_blues]

dude i am going for the same card...XFX Geforce 6600GT 128MB DDR3 AGP version....its for Rs 8100 here in delhi....so i guess u r being charged too much!!

actually i also wanna know which manufacturer amongst the ones u mentioned is the best....

[kaustav_geek]

Among the current GFx vendors XFX and Gainward are the best.Leadtek comes a close second.Do not opt for BIG or BFG in GFx card, though they are cheap. Go for Gainward with golden sample if you are into overclocking, because their components are high quality and run cooler and remain stable.
-Kaustav

[KHUBBU]

U can even go for the cheapest 6600 GT ie BIG, coz the 6600 GT will get outdated in one yr & u probably dont want to spend extra money on a thing which u r not going to keep for more than 1 yr, so plz dont go for gainward gloden sample ( i doubt its availabilty and that too AGP)

vendors: Gainward ~Leadtek>XFX>BIG

One more thing: As it has previously been mentioned in the thread BIG & BFG are totally different brands. BFG are high performance factory o/c cards not sold anywhere in India.
BIG is what XFX was few yrs ago, I mean its VFM card sold here.
Its just a coincidence that BFG & BIG cards look similar (6600 GT AGP to be precise). The performance difference between them is substantial.

@Kaustav: Any specific reason for not opting for BIG.

[yogi7272]

thanks khubbu , r u completely sure that BIG 6600 GT AGP IS NOT BGF CARD .. as they both look same ... also if its not bgf then .. which company card r they selling ? also i want this card for say 8-10 months only as i will upgrade to evga 7800 gs .. :lol:

so is BIG COMPLETELY SAFE COMPANY ...?

[kaustav_geek]

I suggest to go for an XFX any day.Reason is simple- XFX's availability,after sales support, quality, and overclockability. I agree with KHUBBU.Undoubtedly Gainward offers superlative performance,but certainly not BIG.

XFX wasn't actually BIG, it marketed its products under the BIG banner a couple of years age. Now, coming back,BIG cards don't offer many features, and overclockability.6600 GT chipset is quite powerful and won't be obsolete for 2 years.It WILL be able to play all future games albeit at a low resolution and medium quality setiings.

As for Gainward golden sample's availibity,its AGP variant is perhaps not available. Please dont go for BIG though an XFX costs few bucks more. One of my friends has a BIG 6600GT,it doesn't deliver good performance in FEAR.Another friend has the same card from XFX,but FEAR works better on his PC.They have identical config. If you want to save good buck,then go for a non GT XFX or Gainward 6600. It will last you a couple of yrs. Costs abt 6.5k

Hey guys,
My screen suddenly went black and after 5 minutes i got a blue screen saying that nv_4disp.dll has entered a infinite loop. There may be a problem with either the hardware or the driver.

I run xp and have a BIG 6600 card. Please help me!

[KHUBBU]

Most of the brands source their card from OEMs & do not manufacture their own. So it maybe possible that for 6600 series BIG also sourced from the same OEM as BFG and so the similarity exist. However it can also be said that most probably BFG wud hav got the cards that topped quality standards whereas BIG got not so high quality stuff.

When I said: "BIG is what XFX was few yrs ago", I meant that now BIG has replaced XFX as the VFM card in India. Earlier XFX was also criticized as the cheapo and bad quality card until BIG came along.

XFX never marketed their card under BIG banner. Actually Big Byte Corp (BBC) earlier marketed XFX & now they are marketing BIG cards. XFX was & is also available through Rashi Peripherals.

As Kaustav suggested u can go for XFX if its only 100-200 more dearer.

F.E.A.R. bring every 6600 GT down to its knees, some ppl get better fps by using latest drivers but not all - I cant go above 71.89, none of the video files play when I install any updated driver 76.xx or 81.xx!

One more thing: The above info r also secondary data I got from reading at other forums. If u want to know more about the similarity and overclockabilty, pm directly to Blade Runner ( He knows evrything about gfx cards).
BIG cards can be overclocked and they already come at higher clock speeds than stock.

[kaustav_geek]

To KHUBBU:
O/c'ability of a GFx card mostly depends on its build quality-this includes its core components and its cooling setup.Since you too agree that BIG cards are not having good build quality,in fact they have poorest quality among the current card vendors.BIG cards tend to show unstability after O/c and tend to run hotter.Also their performance boost after o/c'ing is not very significant.As for XFX,even a passively cooloed 6600 non GT from XFX overclocks like a dream and runs cool and rock stable.
As FEAR includes heavy in-scene lighting effects,it stress all 6600s,which are not clocked high enough.But overclocking helps a lot! I do not suggest BFG because of their non-availibility.So, if you get hold of one donot get it because,NO SUPPORT vailable for 'em.

Thanks in advance

[Incinerator]

@Sankalp : If you don't mind going for used cards, there's nothing like a 9800 pro. It should cost you under 5k and will give you best bang for your bucks. Finding a used one would be difficult but its worth the effort :)

Also please make sure you have a decent PSU to support ur new AGP card.

Ya, I also went through the site, it has many choices. But just make sure that it has 128-bit memory interface and does not have turbocache memory. Turbocacche means that it sheres memory from the system RAM. You will then have fewer choices with 256MB DDR/DDR2 memory. Remaining choice is in your budget.

but then i thought, isn,t it sensible to buy frm online store , absolutely latest top of the line ATI X1900 512 MB card which is much better than 256 MB 7800 and also it is cheap ( 599 dollars)

From which online store do you want to buy? FYI, newegg and amazon (or any other) don't ship computer parts to India. I am assuming you stay somewhere in India. I suggest you buy from your local dealer. But the price quoted is a bit high. Rashi told me Rs.29500 plus tax for XFX 7800GTX 256MB.

@paul_007,

i would suggest u go for an NVIDIA 7900GT/GTX. these are not available in india yet. these cards are comparable to ATI 1900XT/XTX but are less costly than ATI. 7900GT is available at newegg for $299. GTX should cost u max $500. saved u some dollars, didn't i? :wink: what makes these cards stand out from ATI 1900XT/XTX is that these are lighter, less power hungry and much cooler than ATI cards. these cards are inserted in a PCIE X16 slot(usually brown or black colored) of ur mobo. the PCI slots are the ones which are usually white in color. also the length of PCIX16 slot is more than the length of a PCI slot. BTW which mobo do u own?

where in india do u stay paul. i too wanted an AGP 4x/8x ATI X1600 pro card but this is rarely available here. can u purchase this card for me from the US. i will of course pay the price. but before that i have to know what it will cost me in rupees. i checked newegg and found out this link

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102665

cool card at a cool price its approx $120 + $5(shipping). my budget is max Rs 6000/- and i think this one fits in perfectly. also tell me if u could buy this card for me my email address is manishnair123@yahoo.co.in
plz help me and reply either at my mail address or here only.

well i am looking for 6600 gt agp 128 mb . card ?

now which brand to go for ? xfx , gainward , or any other ?

look main criteria is, it should perform well and should not cost much ..
last time i asked for it and the dealer quoted 10 k :shock:

common xfx 6600 gt agp is like 150 dollars in us .. and its so overpriced here in india .. i dont want to spend much on gpu .. this is like one time investment .. i mean no other agp card after this .. my next rig will be dual core with pci-e gpu ... hence so pls people advise me on this matter ..

well i am totall n00b when comin to graphics cards can u suggest me good 3d card of abt 256mb budget below some 6k or somethin

[john_the_ultimate]

@yogi7272
You could go for LEADTEK or XFX, low cost and great performance. Cost around 7-8K. Check with local vendor. One of my friend bought a leadtek 6600gt 128mb AGP for 8K.
The golden edition from GAINWARD are the best but would cost much more than others I mentioned.
By the way what's ur budget?
If gaming is not very essential, u could go for 6600 non gt.

@deadmanrulz
You could go for 6600 non gt of any brand as long as it comes within ur budget or if u could increase ur budget then buy 6600gt.

[yogi7272]

hey john_the_ultimate , thank you .. well i can shell 9.5 k for this agp card .. r u sure that leadtek 6600 gt agp is for 8 k ..man that's great ..

i was quoted like 9.8 k for xfx 6600 gt agp .. i from mumbai .. is there any chance of me getting that price here in mumbai? leadtek is great too ..

ohh i am looking for 6600gt 128 mb only .. no 256 mb for me ..

[john_the_ultimate]

Well yogi7272 my friend got the card from Bangalore, his elder brother works there. Don't know the price in Mumbai.
Me also got the leadtek 6600gt 128mb PCI-E card from Bangalore in December 2005 for 8900/-. But as I said check with ur local vendors.

[TechGuru#1]

uptill when will the 6800GS remain in the market as a Viable Graphics card? <Max period till which it makes sense 2 play on it?

[deathvirus_me]

uptill when will the 6800GS remain in the market as a Viable Graphics card? <Max period till which it makes sense 2 play on it?

Well ... it'll definitely remain for some time .... but is easily outshined by the 7600GT ....

[yogi7272]

i think then the price of 9.5-9.8 k is right for 6600 gt agp xfx version .. as pci e version is abt 8.8 k ... also it is native pci e chip and u need a pci e to agp bridge chip to produce it in agp version .. lets see what are the prices here in mumbai right now ? :?:

abt 6800 gs .. it will be a good option for agp users along with 6600 gt and the new 7800 gs .. but for pci express newer 7600 gt performs equally good with 128 bit memory interface due to its high clock speeds ..

it upto users to decide ..both are excellent choices .. :)

as for my 6600 gt agp .. people pls advice which is the absolute best in performance .. in 128 mb version .. .budget is now 10 k.
.

[john_the_ultimate]

You are right yogi7272, checked at my place and the price for xfx 6600gt 128mb AGP was qouted around 9.5K. The pci-e being at around 8.5K(leadtek).

I think u should go for xfx since it is widely available and they have a better after sale service.

But as far as performance is concerned, the GAINWARD beats all.

[makarand]

what does the x1600 from ATi cost. Is it a better performer than the corresponding 6800

Calling all graphics guru.......
Suggest be the best Graphics card 256MB RAM, for a PCI slot (not PCI-e)
I only have PCI slots on my mobo.
Don't suggest me to change my mobo.
It should support Pixel shaders and things like that.
It should be directx 9.0c compatible.
My budget is not much more than 7k.
I know it won't be a good performer than on AGP & PCI-e but still i want it.
I hav heard of $170 NVIDIA GeForce 6600 256MB 128-bit,
shader model 3

[supersaiyan]

ok 2 questions-
1)is the 7600gt out??
2) is an x1800xt better than a 7800gtx?

[ashfame]

Members here don't seem to respond,
it seems that this thread has been started for sake of nothing,
so many posts are waiting for them to be answered.
We can't wait the whole month just looking for a help in graphics card.
Either the thread is being ignored or no one is a graphics guru here.
Is that so??????????? :o

Yes .. it is ..

And no ... the X1800XT will lose to the 7800GTX by a small margin .....

[ashfame]

Which one is better?
nVidia Geforce FX 5200 PCI or ATI 9200 PCI.
I aim to play directx9 games @ 1280 * 1024 resolution.
It should give 60+fps.
What it has to do of refresh rate?
What its optimum level?
Sort of Very Urgent!!
Pl Suggest.
And Kindly let me know their prices, here in Delhi.

[teknoPhobia]

At the resolutions you want to play, the cards you hame mentioned will give sumthing like 1 or 2 fps... refresh rate has nothing to do wih FPS

[ritwickgupta]

hi techies... i want to buy a gfx card (pci-e) for my pc. i hav budget of 15000. wot bst can i get??? the choices are 6800gs,6800gt,7600gs,7600gt from nvidia n x800xl,x800xt,x1600,x1800 from ati. i wanted to know the price n wanted to know that wot is a all in wonder card... is it costlier n wot features does it has.

Recently I hav heard some new terms in graphics card. I m teling my experience abt it

a. SLI n CROSSFIRE
I hav hrd this term sli from nvidia in which we can put two graphics card on a motherboard. But sine in sli we hav to put two exactly same card so its useless. In crossfire we can put two cards of different model ( but only of ati as I hav heard …is that true???). so this makes some sense. So does a crossfire motherboard cost too much???? Which r the models n cost???

b. PPU
This is sumthing that I hav heard in latest edition of digit. It’s a physics processing unit. It controls the laws of physics in a gameplay. I wanted to know that is it sum kind of other card that is to b placed on mobo or is a feature in graphics card??? If it’s a different card that which slot it uses n wot is the cost of this card.??? I hav also heard that we can force this ppu to a simple graphics card only. So that makes a sence of buying a crossfire compatible mobo so that when I buy a new gpx card … I’ll force the ppu calculations to older graphics card. Moreover can ne 1 give me list of gpx cards that can do pu calculations.

[Raiden Bee]

Whats the cost of a new 6600GT in Mumbai?

[royal]

calling all Kolkata guys (digitized , john_the_ultimate ... others pls dont mind as I dont remember all ur names :oops: )

I would like to buy a PCI-E graphics card ... budget around 12000/-

My choice is 6800GS/7600GT

Which one should I go for ? Will they fit in my budget :?:

I would like to go for XFX but they r pricey :-x ... so Leadtek will also do :

please quote shop name and prices ... that would be a BIG help :)

BTW...are there any models from ATI that I can go for with this budget ?
how will they perform compared to NVIDIA ???

[digitized]

@royal: Are you sure it is PCI and not PCI-express, as all the cards that you have mentioned (6800GS/7600GT), are available here in PCI-express, although 6800GS AGP has been manufactured, but not sure if it is available in Kolkata or anywhere in India, as a matter of fact.

You can try for Leadtek 6800GS extreme edition or 7600GT. There is one MSI/Leadtek distributor behind Indian Airlines building. The details are:

Tirupati Enterprises:

11, Robert Street, 1st Floor,
Kolkata-700012.
Ph: 22251192/93

I am not sure whether you would get 7600GT for Rs.12000., though....

[MysticHalo]

AFAIK, physics depends more on the game-code for physics than ur GPU.
anyways, if i were u, i wud try to get X1900 XTX (the best card out there).But thats nowhere in 15k. For the money limit, either 7600 gt or x850XT would be the best. But buy the of a good manufacturer, like powercolor for ATi and XFX for NVIDIA

[drvarunmehta]

Don't get the PPU anytime soon. Very few games, if any make use of it and both nVidia and ATi are planning to implement physics calculations on the graphics card itself.

[crikanthr]

hi, NEED FOR HELP
i want to buy a new pci-e graphics card in the range of 12-15k(max) . could any one suggest the best card at this price?
i have read lots of reviews on the web and im stuck b/w the geforce 6800gs and the newly released 7600 gt..
7600gt is 128-bit,6800gs is 256 bit memory interface...
is the 7600gt available in india .. at what price?

[MysticHalo]

Don't get the PPU anytime soon. Very few games, if any make use of it and both nVidia and ATi are planning to implement physics calculations on the graphics card itself.
Thats gonna make the situation even worse, imagine online play, where ppl with different hardware play the same game...and each one moves differently coz of different physics :lol
I beilieve it wont be easy to achieve uniformity :rolleyes:

Your choices within 12k for ATI might be Sapphire X800GTO. Not sure about it's availability, though.

Also to all people who want a graphics card within 15k: Buy a XFX 7600GT. You will not be disappointed. I am saying this although I have a 6800GS with 256-bit memory interface, and 7600GT has 128-bit memory. But reviews on the net say that 7600GT is better (mostly because of higher clock speeds and geforce 7 series features).

[royal]

now that I know u have a 6800GS, how much did it cost u?
Did u buy it from Tirupati ???

and how does it perform while playing FEAR,DOOM III ... :confused:

Royal: The XFX 6800GS XXX edition is not bad at all. Let me give you some examples. On stock speeds, I got over 11900 in 3dmark03 and 5500 in 3d mark05. Check my sig for my machine config now. Now the score has moved upto 12600 and 5800 (approx) respectively. Have not tested in 3d mark 06 though.

Also now, Doom3 posted ~ 85 fps with ultra (yes, ULTRA quality, enabling it in settings gives you a warning that the system needs at least 512MB in textures) quality 2X AA/2X AF and 72 fps with 4X AA/4X AF. This is the result of the default timedemo. In FEAR, with all settings turned to medium I also got around 80fps on average, maximum being 170fps. FEAR's default benchmarking tool gives option of seeing the minimum and maximum fps, as you might be knowing. Also I had 0% under 20fps. If you own FEAR, you will know what I mean. BTW, all benchmark tests were taken at 1024 X 768. I have also used the latest nforce4 ultra drivers from Asus and Nvidia forceware 84.21. Half life-2 posted 99fps in canals test with all settings turned up (I have used the custom benchmarking tool provided by guru3d.com). I did not have the opportunity also to test Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. I have heard that it stresses the system like FEAR, maybe more. Maybe deathvirus_me may give some opinions regarding this.

But most websites have stated that 7600GT is better than 6800GS. So if you get it, you will get better results than me, otherwise you can get 6800GS. I got it from Savera Marketing Agency (distributors of Rashi Peripherals) last february for Rs.14100 plus VAT. Address is 1, Ganesh Chandra Avenue.

Let us know your final decision.:)

[ritwickgupta]

hi techies....
i wanted to know wot does gs n gt suffix mean . n also which one is better gt or gs???? thx in advance

[ritwickgupta]

@ digitized....
U r telling that 7600gt is a better card than 6800gs inspite of bieng 128 mb interface. i hope u must hav heard that havok fx with collabration with nvidia is going to put load of ppu on the gpu itself. in that case wont it b better to go for a gpu with 256 mb memory interface as it may b able to take the load easily as compared to that of a 128 mb card....

n 2nd thing i want to ask is when is direct x 10 goin to b released...presently is there ne card which is direct x compatible...if my card is not compatible with dx10 n i play a game which requires a dx10 game on my card then wot will happen to the game play???/
plz reply soon

[arnab_21111987]

Go for geforce 6600 non gt pcie 256 card, it rocks! try to get xfx brand. the agp card will cost around 7k, pcie is cheaper- 6.5k. for more info, visit www.deltapage.com and click on link to graphic cards. in bombay i would suggest lamington road for the best bargains.
cheers! :)

[digitized]

@ritwickgupta: I suggest you go through this article.

http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=2717&p=1

7600GT is better than 6800GS. It was not available that time in february, otherwise I would have bought it.

As of now, there are no DX 10 cards around. You have to wait until the Geforce 8 series/x2xxx series cards come out.

[royal]

I called Tirupati yesterday ... they DO NOT have Leadtek cards :evil:

XFX 6800GS is beyond my reach :-|

where can I get Leadtek cards in Kolkata ... can anybody tell me that ???

[deathvirus_me]

U should rather go for XFX cards in Kolkata .. as after sales services are atleast available. ...

@digitized : Do u really think the 7600GT performs that great ???? Have u ever seen a review that potrays the latest releases to be bad .... the funny part is that in the Anandtech review they've stated that the 7600GT manages 46.8 fps in BF2 while the 6800GS manages 39 fps at 1280*1024 , 4x aa .. simply put .. i've played BF2 at 1280*1024 , 4x aa ,,... my fps barely went below 65 ...!!!! Don't believe those reviews blindly .... upon close interaction with many gruru3d members .... i've found out that the normal 7600GT is quite performing below a 6800GS .. only the oc'ed one's do good .... like the XXX edition .... thats where the actual battle starts out .... u can literally put a 7600GT XXX edition head to head with a 6800GS XXX edition .. the crown literally changing hand quite often ... the 7600GT leading in all synthetic benchmarks .. while the 6800GS pretty much the same in almost all cases .. better in many ...

[john_the_ultimate]

I would say that other than the minimal performance difference, the 7600gt comsumes less power and runs cooler than 6800gs. Correct me if I am wrong.
It's a newer card so must support the SM3.0 and purevideo better than 6800gs. But as deathvirus_me said the real competition begins with the XXX edition.

One of my friends in Bangalore bought Leadtek 7600gt 256mb DDR3 for 14.5K. Don't know the price in Kolkata.

[siddharth_dare]

I thought of creating a new thread but found it

i want the reply today itself so please post today itself by 5pm latest
my dad is going to bombay and so we have decided to get a graphics card from lamington road but i dont know to buy which one. suggest one. here are my specifications

direct X 9.0 compatible
256 MB memory

budget---6k

please reply immediatley
if possible quote prices from lamington rd go 4 the pcie 6600gt its good in performance

[siddharth_dare]

i m using the xfx 256mb 5200 ultra it gives gr8 performance

[siddharth_dare]

when if now(march 2006) its ok

[kaustav_geek]

Guys you really think that 6800GS is a better performer??

Swallow the fact that it doesn't support OpenGL 2.0!!

So upcoming OpenGL2.0 based games will give it a sound thrashing.Even I was planning to get my hands on a6800GS but the release of the 7600GT has made me reconsider.

Can any one post the specs of the 7600GT? Please!!

Gracias

[deathvirus_me]

Hmm ... if Rivatuner states correctly then even my 6600GT supported OGL2.0 instruction set ... and the 6800GS does it well ...

7600GT : 128 bit mem. interface , 525/1400 stock ....
7600GT XXX Edition : 128 bit mem. interface , 590/1600 ....

But truly .. if a game runs poorly on the 6800 series .. the 7600 wouldn't do much better either ...

And remember Chronicles of the Riddick ??? The very widely faced problem on OpenGL2.0 supporting cards ???

Its cool price but cannot judge the quality .... Brand forsa they tell .... I went to forsa website and had a look around ...seems a popular brand in some of the countries ...europe, usa and canada .... u can see there link for their distribution must be doing well ...
http://www.geniman.com.hk/contact.htm

U could certainly use the xfx, leadtek or any brand 6600gt 128MB AGP 8X. But remember that the AGP version need a seperate molex power connector for the card to perform efficiently.
So I would suggest that u get a minimum 400W good branded SMPS.
I know that nvidia has specified minimum 350W PSU for 6600gt but still would suggest for a 400W SMPS.

1)So i want to buy a new AGP card from XFX of 256 mb DDR and 256 -bit graphics core..
my budget is pretty low around 3.5-4 k

i have heard of theXFX 5200 and 5700 if not mistaken one of them is for 3.5k
plzz (if possible plzz quote the latest prices for both)tell me which graphics card will do according to my budget and also it shud be a 256 mb ddr with 256 bit graphics core.. ..


2)also tell me current price of the MX 4000 i own so that i can sell it half rate ....
#please note the prices should be acoording to the latest lamington road prices,mumbai!!

thanx in advance...

Here goes my PC's config. => AMD Athlon 2400+, Asus mobo, 256MB + 256MB DDR 333 RAM's, a 120 GB 7200 RPM based HDD and ASUS 5200 GFX card, my ques is that will I be able to run POP WW, POP T2T, NFS MW, DOOM 3, Half Life 2, F.E.A.R and other games with such high details if I upgrade my GFX card to XFX 6200 512MB or XFX 6600 256MB, Well I am shure about 6600GT but not abt the above 2, so Pls. tell me !!!

And Thnx in advance !!!

dude the 6200 is just not good enuff for todays games( like the ones u have mentioned). I think the 6600 256mb will b a much better choice and if u dont have ne budget constraints the 6600GT is ur best option. Also u may consider the x1600 pro. If u have ne relatives in the us, tell them to buy u one of these for u. I am buying a x1600 pro frm there.
talking of x1600pro, will a 300W power supply suffice? If not, is there neway to equip it with another separate power cord?

[rachitboom2]

Hey, thanks anandrules,

but I also wanted to know the price of XFX 6600GT 128MB, XFX 6600 256MB and XFX 6200 512MB !!!

And is XFX 6600 256 MB enough to play the games that I have mentioned at full detail level at 1024*768 Res. ???

Well dude both of these can easily outperform your current XFX MX 4000 128MB and as far as 5200 is concerned it will not be able to play any of the latest games at more than 800*600 Res. with GFX details set at low, well 5700 might be able to play them at medium GFX details but not more that that !!!

And also that these GFX cards wont be future proof, and u wont be able to play even some current games like F.E.A.R !!!

Dude ... all the card have 256 bit core now ... the one thing that matter a lot is the mem. interface ... 128 bit should be the least to go for ..

Also .. don't get any FX card now .. those ae pretty much bottlenecked at the time of purchase itself ... get a 6600 128 MB ...

dude dont even think about 6200 512mb( as it cant use more than 128 mb of its memory due to its low power)....not even the an oced XFX 6600 will b able to play ALL the games u mentioned, mayb sm of them but not oblivion, FEAR. U may have to keep ur resolution down in that case. neways tell me ur budget. U can also look at sm ATI cards.

[rachitboom2]

7-8K is my budget (but I can inc. it about a 1 or 2K more if needed)

Well anandrules if there is any better option than 6600 256MB or 6600GT 128MB at less cost than Pls. let me know !!!

and I again have the same ques => What is the price of XFX 6600GT 128MB, XFX 6600 256MB and XFX 6200 512MB ???

Again, Thnx in advance !!!

@anandrules: why have you copied the master hardware contact list created by quad master in the other sticky thread of master hardware contact list?

Reporting...

This is not your contact list. This is quad master's contact list. Also if you want to post some latest contacts of hardware contacts, post in that thread.

hi techies......
i was sufing the net for prices of gpu n came arond these two pages.....

http://www.theitdepot.com/products.asp?prod=11753

http://www.theitdepot.com/products.asp?prod=13664

this says that 7800gt has clockrate of 450 mhz n memory clock of 1.05 ghz

where as 7600 gt has clock rate of 560 mhz n memory clock of 1.4 ghz.

does that mean 7600gt is better card that 7800gt????? if not then wot do these specs mean???? plz help me
thx a lot

[digitized]

Performance of graphics cards are not only about clock speeds. It also depends on the number of pixel pipelines/vertex per clock. It also depends on the memory interface.

A 7600GT is not anyway better than 7800GT. 7600GT contains 12 pixel pipes, whereas a 7800GT contains 20. Also the former has 128-bit memory interface whereas the latter has 256-bit interface. These are basic reasons why 7800GT is better.

[deathvirus_me]

Well ... guess what ... core clock and mem. clocls are not the only things that result in performance .... mem. interface , pixel pipelines etc. play a major part too ..

this says that 7800gt has clockrate of 450 mhz n memory clock of 1.05 ghz

where as 7600 gt has clock rate of 560 mhz n memory clock of 1.4 ghz.

Hope this chart help a bit ..

[thrash_metal]

Guys i'm a lil new to this Graphics world ... so pls help me in choosing a right card :

requirments : Good enough performance for today and tomorrows games !

Config : P4 3.2 , 512mb 400 DDR , Intel 915G , 19" LG LCD

Budget max 10k

Right now i have a PCI 5300 on it but the performance is not that good . Also ive heard abt over-clocking , what is it and if i do it to my existing card can i save on my money ?

[drvarunmehta]

Geforce 6600GT or Radeon X800GTO

[deathvirus_me]

10k's tend to a 7600GS .. i won't recommend anything else ...

[thrash_metal]

u mean this

http://peripherals.about.com/od/videographicscards/fr/xfx7600gs.htm

?????

And whats the difference between GT & GS ???

[drvarunmehta]

GT is slightly faster than GS.

[thrash_metal]

Now i'm having a option of the company ::

xfx or Leadtek ..... both are at the same price . Has any1 tried Leadtek ? Comments ?

[deathvirus_me]

Yupp ... the basic diff. between the 7600GT and the 7600GS is that the former has 1.2ns ddr3 ram while the later has 1.8ns ddr mem. .. Some companies have intoduced 7600GS's with 1.2ns ddr2 ram but those won't be available in india anythime soon ...

[kapal83]

Today you'll get XFX GF 6600GT 256MB in less than 9K
----------------------------------------------------------------

frankly speaking dont buy a graphic card if u wanna go for 5700 LE

u wont achieve anything with it to be frank

else wait and get a 6600GT @ 11.5k ... best deal

[aryayush]

If I add another graphics card to my existing 6600 GT in SLi mode, will I get significantly better performance? Or should I install 6800XT or 7600 GT. In other words, which out of these three configs will give the best performance:
XFX GeForce 6600 GT 256MB DDR3 x2 (SLi)
XFX GeForce 6800 XTreme 256MB DDR3 XXX edition (what is the price?)
XFX GeForce 7600GT 256MB DDR3 XXX Edition (the price is Rs. 14,000, right?)
