All Graphics Cards related queries here.

[geek_rohit]

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.

[vysakh]

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
best performance
budget---6k

please reply immediatley
if possible quote prices from lamington rd

[geek_rohit]

For the budget aroung 6k the FX 5700 would be the best bet. It should be around 6-6.5k.

[vysakh]

which brand?
i mean gigabyte, asus, gainward, xfx, etc
plz specify

[Sourabh]

XFX 5700 LE 256 mb 64 bit costs 6500 Rs

its the worst of card coz it has 64 bit memory

search the forum or ask any one abt the 5700LE card

it sucks and stay away from it

[geek_rohit]

All these brands are good. But I would suggest please don't go for the ASUS brand as these cards aren't such a great performer they used to be moreoever they are costly as compared to other brands. Instead for nVidia choose Gainward and XFX, for ATi choose Powercolor and Gigabyte, whichever suits you in terms of price, software. bundles, etc.
EDITED:
But don't go for the LE version. For Radeon go for the 9600.

[vysakh]

one guy is asking me to get the 5700 and other one not to get it
cmon guys
plz hurry
any brands from Radeon???

[Sourabh]

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

[Sourabh]

nice work this thread is Sticky now :wink:

[borg]

Hey cmon Sourabh. He want a card for 6k & u recommend him a card which costs 11.5k!!!. This is not fair man. He clearly posted his budget. Not everyone wants those fancy cards which cost the earth. Not if u are a casual gamer.

For 6k, I would say Asus A9550 (costs around 5.5k). Or a 9600 non pro. Most brands like Club 3d, gigabyte, gainward are good. Just ask ur dad to look for a good deal. Also be aware that the card should have 128 bit memory & stay away from the cards with 64 bit ones. Thats it.

hey i saw a dealer selling hercules X800XT PE for 37000 and Gainward 6800 Ultra for 35K (both are PCI-e). as my friend is thinkin of buying a SLI mobo (infact whole new pc that wud last good 3-yrs)
preferably ASUS A8N-SLI. which one is a better deal hercules or Gainward?? A MSI 6800 Ultra was quoted Rs.35.5K, so i select 6800 ultra which one is good Gainward or MSI. MSI has a definite advantage of DOT.

[[flAsh]]

how can i enable low-level overclocking for nvidia fx 5700 ultra card in riva tuner???

From those definitely the Gainward 6800Ultra ! The Golden Samples are guaraanteed to Oc so i think i'd stick with the gainward.

[mamba]

heard gainward was bought or somethin , for $1 million n has shifted base frm Taipei , Taiwan to Munich Germany
n wot was that , they r gud OCers !!!

no. they were overclocked out of the factory, which meant that the amount of 'free' overclocking u got was less because they were already pushing that much harder.
basically, u pay for their pre-overclocking the board, and overclocking is good value because it's supposed to be free

they had weird names

n i read a hexus review of 1 of there silly 6800 Ultra with watercooling for $800
IT OVERCLOCKED 25mhz ON CORE N MEMORY

[Sourabh]

lol

just 25 mhz

u gotta be kiddin !!

arent u ??



:?

[mamba]

m kidin nobody
c 4 urself
m not frm xfx or somethin , that would campaign against gainward
tis vot i read n thought bout sharin with the guys on the forum . thats it , nothin more , nothin less

[bunny01in]

Hey man which card should i buy ? XFX 5200 (256MB) or XFX 5700LE (128 MB) Plz reply soon

[krisjr]

Hey man which card should i buy ? XFX 5200 (256MB) or XFX 5700LE (128 MB) Plz reply soon

dont go for XFX...go for gainward

[geek_rohit]

Hey man which card should i buy ? XFX 5200 (256MB) or XFX 5700LE (128 MB) Plz reply soon
Neither. Instead go for the 5700 Ultra, atleast. Don't even think of the 5700LE. Its a flop. Also the 5200 is poor in performance. But if you are willing to wait I would suggest to wait for sometime, save the bucks, and then go for the 6600GT. Hopefully the prices should come down.

[mamba]

as i said before take a look at http://graphics.tomshardware.com/graphic/20041004/vga_charts-02.html , 4 ALL UR PERFORMANCE RELATED QUERIES , the comparo ROX

5700 (128) spanks 5200(256) ne time , not much adv due 2 the extra 128 mb in the 5200 , riftz still there . n 4 the prices its the best deal u get locally , no use comparin nehru place (Delhi ) prices with those somevere south . have often heard people complain bout the higher prices there

Well I have it in my hands right now for trial only. it runs the games nicely with the new version of reactor driver (without any sacrifice in image quality as was the case with earlier drivers). FSAA has increased from 4x to 8x (AF supported is now 16x). gives nice FPS in all games except it makes a lot of noise.

if my memoriez rite , i replied 2 ur querry in the 'price' sticky n told u how the 6600gt F**KED 9800 n X600XT a*sez ,leave out the9600 ( remember the 3dmark 03 scorez , yup thatz vot m talkin bout )

just joined this forum.... Great thing i did... :D :D

i am looking for a graphix card under 15 k having best performance.. Can somebody suggest please...

[geek_rohit]

The nVidia 6600 should be just that. Try for the GT version.

[sid311]

THANKS ROHIT..... HOW MUCH DOES A GT VER. COST IN DELHI........ AND WHICH COMPANY SHOULD I PREFER......

[geek_rohit]

Try getting one from Gainward or MSI. Although XFX are also cheap. It should lighten your wallet by say 12k.

[supersaiyan]

mediatech which sells gainward do not have it in stock right now. they willget it by 4 days. xfx 6600gt is for 12500

[sid311]

what abt MSI is it available ?......

[hunttherock]

anyone know where i acan contact Mediatech here in Bangalore??

[borg]

I emailed those losers for any contact info for their Bangalore branch. The maniacs haven't responded. Its been over a week. I don't think they want us to buy their products here.

[sid311]

what is Pine 6600gt 128 mb ram ???

[darklord]

It is XFX made Geforce 6600GT 128 MB
It is either PCI Express or AGP8X.

Someone please tell me about this xpertvision. How is the company?. The only gfx cards easily available here in my place are xpertvision, but i don't know how good this manufacturer is. Please someone tell me if this manufacturer is recommended.

[darklord]

I have never heard of this company.sounds new to me.

check out the quality of the card yourself.Ask if the dealer is ready to give it to you on approval basis

[borg]

Found the compay's website- www.xpertvision.com . They seem to have a fairly credible website, but u can't tell how good the company is just by looking at the website, can u?.

Thanx

:arrow: :!: Well i don't think i845GL chipset motherboard even has an AGP slot. It only support onboard grafix.

:arrow: Well proxnet are you sure you have an AGP slot. Just open the cabinet and try the locate a brown slot just above all the white PCI slots and nearer to CPU or RAM.

PS: A very small brown slot at the bottom of the motherboard (if its there) is the CNR/ASR slot so don't confuse with it.

If you dont have AGP you can install a PCI graphix card which is highly not recommended and not very feasable.

The performance diff between the AGP/PCI-E parts is negligible though if u are going for a new rig i'd say go for pcie for future *compatibility*.

[spykids_666]

hey guys,
i have a intel 865GBF (AGP supported), PIV 2.8HT. i want to buy a graphics card but cant decide which to go for.
i dont know anything about graphic cards.
my Budget is 10K (nothing more than that) . someone told me about ATI Radeon 9250 (256MB) and ATI radeon 9700 pro (128MB).

please tell me the price of them and which one is better. if any card is better then these then please tell me.

Thanks[/quote]

[borg]

Man, I think the 9700 pro is too expensive for your budget. The 9250 is not recommeded. I think the logical choice for you is a 9600 pro . look out for any decent brand ie Asus, Gigabyte, Powercolor, Club3d , etc. A card with 128 MB should be sufficient. I cannot tell u the prices as I donot know the local prices in Gujarat ( I see u r from Gujarat) . Anyways it should be available within the price range u have quoted. Just enquire around. Thats the best way.

[blade_runner]

Yup either the 9600pro or XT if u find one thats is arnd 10k. Also if u don't wanna spend 2-3k extra u will be missing on the best VFM card out right now and that is the 6600GT which costs 13-13.5k. If u can somehow manage the xtra 2-3k then u will get atleast 1.5-2 times the performance of a 9600XT card with the 6600GT. Or else 9600XT is the way to go.

[Sourabh]

which was the manufacturer who claimed to provide 6600GT at a price less than the XFX make ??

any info abt it

and how is the MSI 6600GT any direct comparisons between them?

[gagansharma]

For the budget aroung 6k the FX 5700 would be the best bet. It should be around 6-6.5k.
which gpu is better for directx 9.0b gaming?fx5200 256 mb ram 128bit or radeon9550 128mb ram 64 bit[/b]

[geek_rohit]

which gpu is better for directx 9.0b gaming?fx5200 256 mb ram 128bit or radeon9550 128mb ram 64 bit[/b]
The Radeon 9550 is better than the FX 5200.

[blade_runner]

@sourabh: Gainward had promised that. Also MSI is better than xfx, even ledtek has 6600GTs available which are much better than xfx's.

@gagan: Even though the 9550SE is better than the 5200 (even the 5200 has 64 bit memory) it will choke in games due to the 64 bit memory. Best thing to do wud b to get a card like 9550 (not se) or 9600 non pro with 128 bit memory.

[Sourabh]

man who wod buy some other brands when u can get a XFX 6600 GT AGP for just a lil over 8k if u get it from states :wink:

[blade_runner]

Well well therein lies the catch, u have no warranty unfortunately in india. Or if the card gets screwed then u will have to send it back again. So sending it back and fro to cost you as much ;). If u getting a hi-end card like the x800 or 6800GT or ultra then the risk is worth it.

[Sourabh]

man its all abt destiny

try ur LUCK :wink:

but if it works i cod get a card at half the price aint it?

[spykids_666]

Many of you told me to get a 6600 GT and now i have managed to get 13k. which brand should i go for (6600GT).
is the 6600GT card available at a cheaper rate outside india? (malaysia or dubai)

thanks

[blade_runner]

Brands in order of preference:
BFG, Gainward, Ledtek, Asus, MSI, Gigabyte, XFX.

Outside india the 6600GT wud be arnd 7-8k.

[Sourabh]

i wod still say buy the cheapest 6600GT available

there aint tht much of a difference

go get yourself an Asus 6600GT,its a nice card.

My order of preference-
Asus,BFG,Evga,Leadtek,Gainward,XFX,Gigabyte,MSI... .

[Sourabh]

now whtis the price of the asus one

[blade_runner]

Shud be arnd 14k i assume.

[Delpiero]

9800XT is not yet dead. I want to know which one is better? Both 6600GT and 9800XT are good performers but there is not a clear winner. 9800 XT can outperform the 6600GT in some benchmarks and vice versa. It's like choosing a winner between 6800 Ultra and X850XT PE. What should i buy? 9800XT or 6600GT? I am leaning towards 9800XT , i really like it's performance. Should i buy this card or get 6600GT instead. Is 9800XT future proof?

[Sourabh]

go for 6600GT

its a new card, so a good resale value :wink:

Then it really boils down to whether you will be playing opengl games like doom3 and kotor 2 since 6600GT performs well in those. If you want good aa and af routines, the temporal aa and af implementation frm ATi is really better than nvidia's imho. Also the 6600GT is more future proof due to SM 3.0 support. If you are planning to go for the 6600GT then go for the absolute best like gainward or leadtek.

[Sourabh]

i dunno y but after seeing leadtek ads in the mags i feel its the worst of brands :P

[supersaiyan]

the choice is clear . 6600gt. its got ps3.0 and vs3.0. so that makes it futureproof. plus it performs better. if u can searh on the net it says that the 6600gt is better. although there is neck to neck performance by both the cards but 6600gt comes out better. plus u see the price to perfomance ratio. i think the radeon is for 16-17k whereas the 6600gt is for 13k. also when the half life 2 fix is applied to nvidia cards they shine out better.
i myself own a 6600gt(gainward) and it rocks in doom3. no wonder its called the doom 3 card.

[Sourabh]

whoa gainward??

it was supposed to be priced lower rite?

at wht price did u get it?

Thanks for your replies. Performance wise 9800XT might have slight edge but technology wise 6600GT is better. 9800 XT is for 13-14 k not 16-17 k. It's called a doom3 card because nvdia tied up with doom 3 makers while preparing their 6xxx series. But the Ati always do well in AA and AF department. Tough choice to make. Follow the link.

i dunno y but after seeing leadtek ads in the mags i feel its the worst of brands :P

It's a pretty good brand. Not great but it's good. Atleast not the worst of brands.

[sachinc]

What would be a good card for 3.5k?

[Sourabh]

for 3.5 k i wod say go in for a second hand card

look if someone wants to sell his 9600 Non Pro or some geforce ti cards

[ashu888ashu888]

WICH card is better:

nVIDIA Ge force FX 5200 256mb DDR RAM or,
nVIDIA Ge FORCE FX 5700 ???

I hv the 5200 256 mb card. wat money will i get if i sell it.i bought the card for Rs.6500/-

thanx bye..

[sachinc]

Thanks Sourabh, but would there be no card to buy for that money. I know it would not be the best.

You have any idea where I can get a 2nd hand card.

[blade_runner]

Try here (http://207.58.143.178/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=24)
Lots of 2nd hand cards for sale. Happy hunting.

[Sourabh]

well u dun get cards just like this

wait for some time

someone has a 9600XT in sale here for abt 6k

wait for some time, till u get a deal


fx 5200 256 mb wod sell for 2.2-2.5k if its not XfX

[dOm1naTOr]

Is there any varients(like LE and Ultra or GT) for the chipsetGF 6200 and if any what are they and which is cost effective?
Any idea about the price of a GF 6200 and 6600(plane ie non ultra/Gt)(both of AGP and PCIE vertions)
Somebody said that 6600 (plane) costs only 8k


I want to know which one is a better buy: :arrow: 6200

Are chipsets like 5900 or 9800 better than 6200?
:!: :!: :!: :!: :!: :!: :!: :!:

[rachitboom2]

Hi is

XFX Geforce 5900 \Ultra\GT better or
ASUS Geforce 5900 \Ultra\GT better or
Gegabyte Geforce 5900 \Ultra\GT better?

I mean ultra VS ultra and GT VS GT and normal VS normal.

also Pls. do tell me the prices of all these Cards ?

Thanks !!!

[Sourabh]

@rachit

dude y r u posting the same things in bigger fonts at so many places

wht u are doing is another word for 'SPAM'

i have reported ur threads

@aravind

first mention for wht interface are u looking for these cards pci-e or AGP

6200 pci-e has 2 variants plain 6200 and 6600 Turbo Cache

the are not yet available in AGP form

a 6600GT wod cost u abt 12.5k

yea the price of plain 6600 is wht u have got around 8-9k

well if u are low on budget then only buy a bottle-neck 6200

as for 5900/9800 these are not chipsets but GPUs

these can out-perform the 6200 anytime anyplace anywhere

[wizrulz]

i have decided on AMD 3000+ 64 bit, but can't decide on the mobo as digit has awareded msi and asus based mobo equally best so can any guide me to best mobo. also i am bit confused over the graphics card subject? can any one help me to get good performance graphics card for arnd 5-6k?

[rachitboom2]

I read the last forum,
thanks but ,no thanks( for Saurabh) :evil: :evil: !!!
well you havent given me the cost of them,
and I also want to know that which one is better 6600 (plain) or 5900 (ultra or plain) or 9800 (Pro).

And also pls. give me their prices.

Thanks.

[Sourabh]

abe get lost

wht do u think u r doing demanding something

dude i just said no use going for the fx so only mentioned the price of the 6600 plain and the 6600 GT

and mind ur language!!

otherwise u r a sure candidate for a 'BAN'

Dude this is a public forum, ppl are here to help each other out. Nobody is getting paid for it. So unless you are patient enuf noone's gonna help you out.

For your query:
The plain 6600 or the non-gt is a pci-e variant only not agp here. Still if you want the prices it's arnd 7.5k-8k. Like i said earlier stay away from the Fx series. Go for the 6600GT or 9800pro whichever is your preference. Although i'd suggest to go for the 6600GT.

[rahul_becks23]

i wana buy a graphics card around 8000 bucks.
i think ati radeon 9600 XT is the best av. for this price range.
but i wanna know which is the best brand to buy-Powercolor,Gigabyte,or.....
Pl. reply soon

[Sourabh]

buy the cheapest one

performance isnt much of a different between brands

[rahul_becks23]

but u can c that in digit-feb.-graphics cards reviews.
btw. the powercolor n gigabyte i think so

[Sourabh]

dude if u trust wht ppl say, then blive me that digit revews nowadays are cr@p

u cant even bet that u have five fingers on one hand with DI9IT reviews past few months

get any 9600XT available in the Indian market

all are good enuf

if u can arrange for a lil more get the XFX 6600GT which is around 11.5k when last heard.. yea the price has fallen a lil bit

[rahul_becks23]

what about 9800 non-pro
can i get it ar. 9000 in chd.

[Sourabh]

are u low on budget ??

can u arrange for the xtra 3.5k for a 6600GT

its worth it, u wod get almost twice wht u r buying now

think abt it

hi,
i've recently upgraded my pc with following hardware: P-4 3.2 GHz, Gigabyte 81915G Duo Mobo, 512 Mb ddr ram (hynix). I wud like to to know about a Pci-xpress based GFX card. Performance should be OK, but price must be low below 6K.

Cards below 6k in the pci-e market are not worth it. The 6200TC is still not available which shud cost 4.5k but the performance shud be crap. The x600 is available in your budget range but even that isn't future proof. The best you cud do is the 6600 non gt which shud cost arnd 7-7.5k.

Man I have this query about the XFX 570le. Its available in two flavours - 128 MB & the 256 MB. I don't know whether both of them are 128 bit or not. Techtree says that 128 MB version comes with 64 bit mem , whereas, 256 MB version comes with 128 mem. Whats the truth people. Someone help me out. The XFX website is silent on this matter.

Hi guys....its so wonderful to read all ur forums ....for a novice like me ..its very helpful indeed....am intrested in buyin a VGA+TV TUNER CARD.... i have hrd a lot the ati all in wonder cards...am intredted in buyin the ati all in wonder 9600 ..is it available in india?...am from chennai...wht is the price of it..?...can u help me guys ???

[Sourabh]

well i guess the AIW are not readily available in Indian market

some while back i read somewhere that a 9600 AIW card costs abt 11k

it does seem to be a feasible solution that to buy a separate gfx card and tv tuner card and its cheaper too

a 9600 pro is a good card and wod cost u abt 7.5k

a good tv-tuner card, wod cost u around 2k

do mention abt ur system config and budget for these

[manzil_zaheer]

Amm...
I wanted to know that which will give the best video performance:
1) Integrated Intel GMA 900 which comes with Intel Chipset 915G.
Or
2) AGP 8x Card with 64 MB Video RAM
Or
3) PCI Express Card with 64 MB Video Ram

Which will be cheaper between the third and the second option.

[manzil_zaheer]

I want to know about what is digitized and analogue novice?

Can a novice become digitized?

[geek_rohit]

Answer to the first querry.
If you are a casual gamer, who just wants to play games and does not worry about the frame rates than the GMA 900 is a good solution. Ofcourse the graphics cards do help as they offer much better performance like T&L, Shaders, etc.

As for the second question. These are the ranks of the user and increase as the no of post increase. But that does not mean that you spam and increase your post count to increase your rank.

128Mb will suffice unless you are playing on insane resolutions like 1600*1200 in which case a sub 13k card wont do good in any case. At 13k go for the 6600GT, best price\performance ratio. The 256Mb versions shud be abit costly @ 15-16k; but those are not worth it imho.

man, i wanna buy a card, i do have the money

but exams start next month, and i havent started yet

any recomendations,

i am thinking of going for 6600gt , this will be my first gfx card. so i have no experiance,

will i be able to limit gaming to 1 - 2 hrs a day ?

or it is irresitable ?

how urs went ?

[blade_runner]

man, i wanna buy a card, i do have the money

any recomendations,
The 6600GT, avoid xfx since it has heating problems even with the rev2 cooler. Get leadtek, gainward or asus.

i am thinking of going for 6600gt , this will be my first gfx card. so i have no experiance,

will i be able to limit gaming to 1 - 2 hrs a day ?
Depends :D Initially you wont be able to i guess. Been gaming since 10-12 years now, but everytime i get a new game or hardware i cant resist. But it wears off over time :p The first time you will be like "OMG ! This is so gr8"


or it is irresitable ?

AIW or all in wonders have VIVO capabilities ot video in video out for video capture. Normally AIWs have Tv tuning, Fm tuning etc capabilties. Thus it serves as a true entertainment hub. These features are not present in the normal models, hence the price.

[dOm1naTOr]

Hey thanks .
I think going for a feature rich TV tuner nd a seperate Gcard would be better.

What does the repeat post mean ? Have i offended you? Sorry it was not intentional.

[krisjr]

Then the FX5200 is the best. Will work in the 4X mode too. Yeah not much of a different between 4X and 8X.

It shud be arnd 2.5 - 2.8k in mumbai. A far better card wud be the radeon 9550 but its a tad costlier than the fx arnd 4.5k sumthng.

[bunny01in]

Hey man my budjet is 6k, am thinking of buying XFX PCX 5750 or xfx 5300 graphics card, which one should i buy? also name some other cards which will give me good performance at this price. XFX brand is my choice.

[Johnny_Bravo]

i wanna buy a graphics accelerator card which makes me play games like FIFA 2004, Doom 3, Rise of Nations etc with decent performance and costs less than 5000

i have a celeron 500 Mhz,192 mb sdram.

what do u suggest?

PLZ don't comment on my CPU, I Love it!!!

but if u do plz tell me a configuration that'll cost me less than 20,000 (including graphics card) and performs well.
i'm also confused as people say that amd processors are cr*p but they look cool to me as they are economical

can any onboard solution help???

[NikhilVerma]

What's the cheapest price of GeForce 6600GT (any company) availiable in India? Today...

[Sourabh]

XFX AGP one costs 12-13k and the PCI-E costs 12k

[third_rate]

you can't run games like doom 3 with that clock speed and ram.

if u've a budget of 6K then its better to go for ati radeon 9600 SE over the cards u've mentioned in ur post...

ENjoy :)

[krisjr]

@geek rohit:Fx200 is 8x compliant or 4x..plus tat radeon 9550 is better buy tan 5200 or wat..plz advice.

[suave_guy]

fx5200 works in 8x mode but is backward compatible with 4x mode so it will work in 4x mode too and the performance difference b/w 4x mode and 8x mode is also negligible....

radeon 9550 is tad better then fx 5200...i wud suggest u radeon 9550...

ENjoy...

[tushar_novice]

Hiya guys :-)
well is there any g-card in the range of 5000 bucks with 128 ram and which can play doom !!! and other upcoming games

[rahul_becks23]

u can play doom3 even with very low end cards-with all settings turned to lowest,of course.
so for 5000 bucks,u gotta check out a 5200 256mb card from XFX,its quite good in its category.

[krisjr]

hi
which cos do u suggest if its radeon chipset.i hate XFX.so suggest some other names..

[allwyndlima]

@krisjr...Well The minimum on Radeon that i reckon would be Ati Radeon 9600Pro if ya have 7k to spare and they are not XFX brands but Powercolor,Gigabyte,MSI etc.

@tushar_novice...For ur budget u can either get a XFX Geforce FX5200 with 128 MB Vram (For 2.5k) Or the 256MB Vram Version (for 4k).This will run Doom 3 a Normal Resolutions and will be playable decently :wink:

[krisjr]

@MI2 well mate not tat much.suggest below or equal to 5k...is it true tat radeon is tad better tan geforce fx5220 or it depends on games.

[allwyndlima]

Well then Below that will leave ya with just 2 choices either Radeon 9550(not Exactly sure about its price range though)or Radeon 9200SE Pro both of em will suffice ur budget :wink:

and well ya till a certain extent its true that Radeon is really better than FX5200 in terms of performance and VFM,Kinda like AMD VS intel battle but remember Geforce Does have a little bit of edge over Radeon when it comes to The 6-Series of Nvidia cards :wink:

[krisjr]

@MI2 but which company wud u choose.in other words which are ur favs..which one u hav...

The 9550 is available for 5.5k i guess which shud be ideal for you. Also Ati is lowering the price on its 9600pro card to 90$ which comes to arnd 4k so i think you shud wait it out for a while.

[bunny01in]

hey man what are the features of Ati Raedon 9600 SE ? will it be a good card? will it be under Rs 6k?

Lol i dun have any favs as such but based on many recommendations and Hardware guru's opinions i always have some rough ideas framed.Asus being on the top notch as this is what i have and this is what i am satisfied with.So be assured for its quality and VFM :wink:

@bunny01in....Ati Radeon 9600 SE is still ok but its better to opt for Pro or XT version.It must cost u around 7k(last time i checked) atleast or may be less :P

@blade...ummm Radeon 9600pro for 4k u dont say.Grt man.How long will this take approx???

Hey guys
Tell me what is a NV 25 chip set I am trying to get a secondhand graphics card and some one has this MSI card on which the main chip is NV25. What is this is it better than a 5200? If now where does it stand equal to say MX440? Please help. Also how much should it cost ( Claims 128MB RAM)

[thegame_rulez]

hi ppl,
my birthday coming next month...and i am thinking of selling my geforce fx 5200 for abt 2.5 k and buy a new one for abt 4.5-5 k i.e 2.5 which i get by selling this + 2.5-3 from my own pocket which i will get for my b'day..:D
so which one should i go for??
radeon 9550 gamer edition or radeon 9600 pro?
will both be available within by price within a month or so?

[allwyndlima]

Well Most cards like Geforce Ti 4600,4400,4200 have thier cores based on the Nvidia NV25 Chipset which is also used in Current Xbox Gpu.Its a Direct X8.1,Open Gl and Direct Draw compliant Chipset.Not much if compared to FX5200 (128-bit one) but is anytime better than MX440 :wink:

Tech Specs (Coutesy Xbit labs)
6 rendering pipelines;
300MHz core clock frequency;
600MHz memory frequency, 10.5GB/sec bandwidth;
TwinView support;
MPEG-2 decoding support implemented on the hardware level;
An enhanced T&L unit with the second vertex pipeline;
More progressive anti-aliasing algorithms;
0.13micron manufacturing technology

@thegame_rulez...umm i guess a Brand New XFX Geforce Fx 5200 128MB 8X card will be costing almost the same price pal.Anyways I say u better buy the Ati radeon 9600pro to be on a safer side for a while :D

[suave_guy]

its hard to find radeon 9600 pro for 5K i guess....well if u can strech ur budget to 7K then go for 9600 pro otherwise settle for radeon 9600 SE

[wizrulz]

No one is suppossed to have a solution to this. Recently i have bought AMD 3000+ 64 Bit with MSI RS480 mobo, and 512 ddr ram, 120 sata etc. i have not bought a PCi-e card as i am bit confused, shall i wait for a while to decide on PCI-e graphics card so that there is some development in this sector with more options to choose from as not much of options at present in india(mumbai) or can any one suggest good options of graphics cards of budget arnd 5K-6K?

[suave_guy]

pci-e technology has a gr8 prospect, is the future of gaming, but rt. now its not the need of the hour....
reason: lack of games which can actually exploit this technology....
going for a pci-e card instead of a 8X agp card is ideal but not logical....and the most imp. thing here is that a pci-e card wont give u much of a performance boost then it 8x agp counterpart....going for a pci-e card will give u few more frame rates while playing games but its not the only reason that u shud go for a pci-e card rt. now....

my suggestion to u is to go for a decent 8x agp card rt. now, collect more money and then go for a good pic-e card after a year....

can any one suggest good options of graphics cards of budget arnd 5K-6K?
in this price range the best card available rt. now is ati radeon 9600 SE....and this card can get u through a year and then u can always buy a good pci-e card :)

ENjoy....

[thegame_rulez]

what abt the radeon 9550?? is it better than the radeon 9800 se since i have heard that all le,se versions suck.

[blade_runner]

what abt the radeon 9550?? is it better than the radeon 9800 se since i have heard that all le,se versions suck.

Nope the 9800SE is far far better than the 9550. Also beware since the 9550 also has a SE version.

@wizrulz: A resonable good card wud be the 6600 for 7-7.5k. Below that there are the 5XXX series acrds frm Nvidia and the x600 and x300 frm ATi both which dont deserve the price tag on them. There is also a 6200TC but even thats not worth it.

@suave: He has pcie mobo, and u r suggesting him a agp based card :P

@allwyn: The Ti series is definitely better than the fx5200, yeah better than even the 128bit one. Although 5200 is dx9 complaint, its useless since it lacks the firepower to run dx9 games smoothly.

[allwyndlima]

@blade....yea i agree on that one buddy but this is a relatively cheaper variant model in comparison to the Ti one's i suppose and is more common find now-a-days :D

[blade_runner]

hi ppl ..at what cost can i get a radeon 9800 se and radeon 9600 xt? i heard they are comparitively equal in performance..but what abt pricing..and one of my frens was saying that i can soft mod radeon 9800 se into a radeon 9800 pro!! is it true?

[Sourabh]

well the 9600Xt costs near abt 9.5-10k

9800 SE can be softmodded to 9800 pro with the omega drivers

but some cards havent

i guess the powercolor 9800 Se wod soft mod to the 9800 pro

only diff between the two is that the se has 4 locked pipelines

when u soft mod it the 4 pipe lines get unlocked which u can easily check from rivatuner

if u r buying something for 10-11k get the 6600GT then

next gen card and truly VFM

[thegame_rulez]

hi there sourabh..
i had mentioned earlier that my budget is not very high..just 6k max..i heard i can get a radeon 9800 se for 7k!!
is that true?

Anyways the primary question is how cheap?????
The least i would say like always is the XFX GEforce FX5200 with 128MB VRam @2.5k Atleast or less depending on your location :D
This card can Handle Doom 3 And other Games fair enough settings :)

[abhi_shake]

XFX GEforce FX5200 with 128MB VRam @2.5k Atleast or less depending on your location

Ok Well if you happen to be in Mumbai And possibly in Borivli by any chance then stroll off to a Pheripheral shop called "Bitsy Electronics" this one's selling the FX5200 128MB Card for 2.5k and the 256MB Version for 4.5k (The Last time i checked on i.e.) or u can gladly go to the Good ol lamington Road in Mumbai and Ask for what price this card is retailing for and am sure u can get it for atleast 2k :wink:

[blade_runner]

Yup wot allwyn said ! U can get the fx5200 easily for 2.3k @ lamington road ! The local sellers bloat prices for their margins ! God save you if you live in a remote place.

Hi Guys,

Being waiting for a while for the new financial yr to begin. As its already 6th april. I am posting my Q here.

Can anyone post the present price for these 2 cards:

ATI Radeon 9600 PRO 256MB
&
ATI Radeon 9600 XT 256MB

Kindly quote the price with the company make(ati,msi,gigabyte,powercolor,club3d...) and bundled cds and cables.

If anyone can post sales addresses with contact nos. - greatly appreciated.

Need it to run on Intel 850GB mobo with 4X AGP support using WIN98SE and WINXP PRO_SP2 - so i guess the original ATI cards will not work since it only allows winxp and win2000.

Hope to get some quick replies.

cheers

The pro is arnd 7.2k and the XT is supposed to be arnd 9.8k sumthng. If oyu plan to go for the XT i'd suggest that you go for the 6600GT which costs 2k more than the XT but is almost twice as fast.

May be now they should start inventing some good budget range cards other than Geforce Fx5200.So the choice is obvious for you as well as this is the only card which can fit your budget for now atleast :wink:
Btw Graphics card as such will not have much effect on the Movie Clarity pattern as its mainly dependent on the way in which it has been encoded from the source.Say if you have a Pirated VCD and seems blurrish in nature than a graphic card upgrade aint gonna make it an original VCD viewing experience :( So the Main purpose to benhmark your GFx card will be to obviously to Play Games :)

@supersaiyan.....A 6800Gt for 15k....Lol Even a Second hand wont retail for that low i guess.Check it out again and it must surely be the 6600gt probably they were talkin about.

[blade_runner]

is the 6800 gt available in 128mb cause i telephoned mediatech india delhi branch and they told me that the 128 mb is for 15k :shock:
The 6800GT is available with 128Mb ddr memory, but only with Asus. Actually its a hybrid with the 6800GT core on a 6800PCB since it has the 16 pipes and 6 vertex pipes but is clocked @ 350/700 rather than 350/1000. But gainward doesnt have such a souped up 6800GT, the prices that might have been quoted to you might very well be of the 6800NU but i'll say that you call mediatech back again and confirm this. Since internationally the 6800NU costs arnd 12-13k, and with the recent reduction of prices it might very well be the 6800NU but definitely not the 6800GT. ;)

[siddhesh]

Hello Everyone,

Can anybody name some graphic cards available for 10K to 12k. 2k up & down will do. I live in mumbai & will be buying it from Lamigton Road.

Thankx & have a nice day!

[chinmay]

Hi guyz i hv amd athlon xp 2500+....256 mb ram...i recently bought ati radeon 9200....now my problem is my monitor goes blank quite often and the monitor indicator turns orange(showing standby) frm green....sometimes it even hangs(mouse pointer also stops movin).....and i need to press reset button....in both the cases system shows possible culprit was ati radeon 9200 after restarting.... hv alrdy downloaded latest drivers but the problem still continues though less frequently...tell me whats the problem n how to work it out

[blade_runner]

@siddhesh: Get the XFX6600GT for 11.3k @ lammmy ! If you want quality components get a gigabyte 6600GT for 13k.

[naveenthomas123]

I have a system with the following config:

AMD Sempron 2400 processor
ASUS A7V400 MX Motherboard(Via/S3G KM400 graphics, AGP 4x/8x)
256MB DDR

Can you suggest a good 128 MB graphics card which is perfectly compatible with the above configuration, and costs less than Rs.5000. I want the best option with the above budget limit.

Thanks,
Naveen.

[allwyndlima]

@naveenthomas123.....The Best card for you would be Powercolor Ati Radeon 9550 which must be costing around 4.5k or a lil more.Below that would be Radeon 9200SE and Geforce FX52000 which would be costing around 2.5k :)

[monty701]

hi guys i am new to the forum.i m planning to buy a agp card.i hav a budget of around 6000 bucks.plese suggest me a good card.i
i also want to know which is better in performance ge force fx 5700 , ati radeon 9600 ,ati radeon 9600 pro i also want to know their prices and good brand.my config is

intel p4 2.4 ghz
intel 845gebv2 motherboard [agp 4x]
256 mb ddr ram

[Sourabh]

Powercolor/ Gigabyte 9600 Pro is the best of the lot and wod cost you abt 7k

make sure u have a good PSU to power the AGP card

[pradeep_chauhan]

Guys
please help me get a second hand graphics card low end entry level. Please. Its for a P3 system now using a riva tnt 2 32 MB.
thanks.

[monty701]

i have heard ati radeon 9500 pro outperforms ati radeon 9600 pro due to more no. of pixel pipelines?

[allwyndlima]

@pradeep....whats the Minimum u can spend for the Second hand card and whats the Minimum GPU Or Vram You require????

@monty701.....well yes its true that the 9500pro has a fair advantage above the 9600pro in case of Benchmarks and Pixel Piplines count (8 PP in 9500pro and 4 PP in 9600pro) but 9600pro also has reduced the transistor count to half of 9500pro generating less heat for the card.The Advantage is that it(9600pro) is a good overclocker compared to 9500pro and also is marginally priced.
Overall the 9600Pro is a fair card and is more easily found out here compared to 9500pro.So the fact is,yes the 9500pro does beat 9600pro in terms of Performance :D

[pradeep_chauhan]

Anything better than the riva tnt 2 32 Mb that i have now will do. The thing is new Nvidia linux drivers are not working with this old card thus the hunt I am not a game guy just want to free system resources for computation purpose.

[blade_runner]

i have heard ati radeon 9500 pro outperforms ati radeon 9600 pro due to more no. of pixel pipelines?
Yes it does ! But the thing is you wont a 9500pro in retail right now. Discontinued by ati a long time ago.

Mate, are you serious?? Or do you just lack common sense??!!! X:idea:X

The above was in reponse to the second part of your query. Whether it's worth the money, that depends what you want to use the card for. It's definitely not worth spending on a 6800GT if you intend to play PACMAN :P

If you're strapped for cash try Geforce 6600 Vanilla at less than 8k.

Dude a 6600Gt goes in the likes of Comparison with Ati Radeon 9800Pro,Whereas the Geforce 6800Gt compete's with the likes of Ati Radeon X800Pro.Now Do you feel any difference in the Architecture of Ati Radeon 9800pro and X800 pro Graphics card????? The Answer is "Yes,A Big Diff" :D
Thats exactly the case with the Geforce Hierarchy,as The 6800Gt Is a High-End Card Placed above 6600Gt.

hey guys i am in a confusion that whether i should buy geforce 6600 gt agp card or i should spend the money on buying a console like ps2. coz the game on the consoles are fully optimised for it and run without any hickups. ge force 6600 gt is a very good card but is it futureproof??????? i know console and pc can't be compared but if its about gaming there is confusion.

hello ppl,

Yup Nvidia has a got a 6200 128 and 256MB 8X versions but AFAIK they are not currently available in India yet.Although the PCI-E version does retail at around 4k Approx.

which g.card in the radeon series does in compare too??
Possibly the PCI-E one Compares to the Ati Radeon X300 Card (SE) and X600 PCI-E Series of ATI but the Agp one(6200) is said to have more set of features and is a Great performer.

will it be available in lamington ??
Nope i Dun think so.There are Very Little chances of you finding it,as its a relatively a new card.

I say if you got Good PC specs than its advisable you better go for the 6600gt as it will definetly be worth an upgrade as the PS2's graphics are showing its aging Attire :( Also Go for the Ps2 Only in case you are fully into gaming and nothing else.The 6600Gt will be somewhat future proof for some time now but the PS2 will last for say another year i.e. until PS3 dosent invade and Wipe it out :D

Oh come on yaar then thats common sense for you as well....This is probably the Top notch card in the 6 series of Current Nvidia High-End cards and Performs Like a Breeze even at high settings in Games like Doom 3 and Hl2 :D

Dude I Dun know which game you are talking about But AFAIK The 6600GT Washes out The 9800Pro is all major games Benchmarks.Here check out the Review and Head-To-Head Comparison on 6600GT (Oh Yea 128MB Version) with 9800Pro and u'll know what margin it has.
http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=2277&p=3
Plus it dosent matter if the Card is 128MB or 256MB,its the core on which the card is bulit and Many other things which contribute to its performance.
Btw dont ever think that a 6800GT (Both 128MB and 256MB) will ever fall behind with the 9800pro or for that matter any of the 9xxx Series likes,As Its in a totally different league Kiddo.

[akshayt]

in some games r9800pro > g6600gt , in some more or less equal,in some looses and in some like pop and doom3 it severly looses.

overall , g6600gt > r9800pro

nVidia 6600 128MB PCI-E
nVidia 6600GT 128MB PCI-E


also tell their prices.

i want to buy one so plz help me.

thanx in advance

[geek_rohit]

The 6600GT is a lot better than the plain 6600. And the PCI is better than the AGP version though there isn't much of a difference in the performance. The GT is available around 12k.

[akshayt]

what are your purposes with the card , with 6k you can only get radeon 9600 128mb as best buy, i think so

don't go for 64bit or se versions.

of the abov crds,128mb geforce 6600gt was best,there is no 6600 agp and you will always prefer newere pci-e to agp

The 6600GT 128Mb is the best of the lot, however for the pci-express version u will need a mobo that supports pci-e or else you can go for the agp version.

@mAYHEM: If u want a PCI card then u can get a fx5200 for arnd 4k i think.
