i got these pdf files some 6 months back and they (Mr. Vivek Gupta) told me that the 9700 Pro had already been "discontinued." I desperately wanted their Radeon 9700 non-Pro that was selling at about 16k about 10 months back. But, they did not "carry stocks" back then, as "they were still working out the logistics of setting up a nationwide distributor network." I was even promised that soon "our distributor will get in touch with you."

And about 4 months back, when i contaced them again about the availability of Radeon 9600/9800, they happeneed to have "a single piece of Radeon 9700 Pro." Cost - 24,000 + 10% tax + Rs.150 as shipping. Total = 26,650.00!!!

I checked the prices few days back MSI 5200 with 128 MB DDR around Rs 4550...

MSI 5600 with 256 MB DDR around Rs 9500

If i remember correctly...

I want to upgrade to a Good GFX card...

Waiting for MSI's GF FX 5700 Ultra...

Should be around 11000 when it is available...

Lets see

Switch, if its gonna be launched soon, the 5700 Ultra wont come that cheap. The non-Ultra may cast u that much though! Anyways, if u find out the price, do let me know too :wink:

Sure thing...

But then the 256 Mb version of FX 5600 had just arrived about a week back in Delhi with the vender... I know cause i checked... And also whats a good buy... A 5600 with 256 Mb(If something like that really exista) or a 5700 non ultra... The ram makes a little differnce...

But i think i wont buy a GFX card till the time Half Life 2 is out... I am sure by that time something gonna happen... Cause its seems a little confusing that the after the initial benchmarks of the game in favour of ATI, nVIDIA is upto something BIG...

Dont you guys think so...

And ofcouse no point buying a graphics card till the time i see its performance on the game which i really want to use it on... :twisted:

IIRC, the 256MB version doesnt perform as well as the 5600 Ultra 128MB. U may be better off with a 9600 non-Ultra.

Thats nice man. I wish i cud be as determined as u r :wink: If u decide to wait until HL2 is released, i wud say u r not gonna regret ur decision. IF not anything, atleast the prices wud have come down by then and if u can afford, u'll get the latest at that time... :)

Switch: was in your shoes till a few months back. Don't buy till HL2 or Doom 3 rear their pretty faces, I said to myself, then went ahead and bought a 9800 PRO anyways. The thing is, there will ALWAYS be something better from both nVidia and ATi and the latest will NEVER be within my budget...

I would seriously rethink a FX series card as an investment. It may run the current games fine and will undoubtebly perform to satisfaction when either Doom 3 or HL2 show up but i would suggest you look a little further down the years. A next-gen NVIDIA card or a current generation 9700/9800 ATI series is what I would recommend.

And on topic, these prices are waaaay too high, the 9700 XT, for example retails for around 15k if I remember correctly.

13-03-2004, 10:23 PM

I agree with you bytie boy. Spending 12 grands on a GeForce FX is quite foolish, even if it is the GeForce FX 5700 Ultra. Your best bet for a current generation card would be the Radeon 9600 XT (mainstream) and the Radeon 9800 XT (high end). But if you hang on for 2 or 3 months, you can lay your hands on the R420 or the NV40.

zombie

18-03-2004, 03:20 PM

But then it would be damn costly because they'll be new entrants & as we all know they cost a fortune when fresh out of the box.

Talos_911

21-03-2004, 07:25 PM

I agree with you Zombie, the actual wait time for NV40 or R420 would be more like 6-7 months from now in-order for them to come down to a reasonable price. The current generation of High-End Graphics cards can satisfy your needs for years to come...

An ATi Radeon 9800 XT or a GeForce 4 FX 5950 are the best available cards as far as I know, but they cost a whopping 30k-35k approx.

A good buy would be the ATi Radeon 9800 Pro (128MB) which offers virtually the same performance (as long as you stick to under 1600x1200) and can be yours for 20k-25k (depending on where you look), a pretty good tradeoff IMHO.

Besides, if you do decide to wait for the next generation of cards, you can snap up the current high-end cards at subsidised prices, since their elder siblings will get their price down.

Just my Rs.2 ;).

wow with all those cards its certain someday i might have to sell of myself to buy such cards 20-25k :0

23-03-2004, 09:45 AM

lol :lol:

If you're an enthusiast/Hardcore gamer, where price is no bar, its well worth it...

For Example, My ATi Radeon 9800 Pro (128), in Quake 3 with all setting to Highest, FSAA, Anisotropic Filtering, 32-bit textures, 1024x768, etc. gave me a whopping 250 fps (sound off)!

Q3A is a pretty old game though... but this baby would probably be able to Handle next generation titles such as Doom 3 and Half-Life 2 when they come out at settings displaying their highest graphical splendour...

Which reminds me... when buying a new card (and planning to play next-generation titles even if you're not an enthusiast), make sure it is Direct X 9.0 compatible... many Graphics card are available for as low as Rs. 2.5k to 3k, but one should invest about Rs.8k for a GeForce based card which is DX 9.0 compatible... it'll ensure that you won't have to upgrade your graphics card too soon.
