Which graphic card ?

[Tommy Vercetti]

I have been with this nvidia Gforce FX5200 for along time now. Technologically, it has decomposed in its grave. The last recent game i played on it was GTA:SA.

Planning to but a new one. Have approx Rs. 9000/-

Which nvidia graphic card should i gor for ? Rather whch is the best one I can buy with Rs 9000/- ?

I think you should take 6600 GT, either Leadtek or XFX. (Sorry, I forgot that his budget is only 9k).

@vivek man his budget is 9k so will u plz tell us how it will b possible for him to get 2 6800GT which costs around 20k.
@Tommy Vercetti pal for ur budget 6600GT is the best u can get for 9k u can go for either of these companies-LEADTEK,XFX,BIG.

^^ Aniruddh, is that ok ?

6600 GT is the perfect choice...

[Tommy Vercetti]

Is 6600GT a good enuf card ? Or is it nearing death. Will I be able to play Quake4, FEAR, COD2, Matrix etc comforatably ?

My Pc config :

P4 1.7Ghz
1GB Ram

Dude consider upgrading your CPU...1.7ghz of a p4 is no where to play games. The 6600 GT is an amazing gfx card, but you won't get the best of it with a slower CPU...i mean the games just doesn't completely rely on the gfx card, some processes are done using the CPU also...so even if u buy 6600 GT and use it with P4 1.7Ghz system, you'll feel the lag in games...

yeah 6600 GT 128 MB wud be a perfect choice !!!

get the leadtek 6600gt 128mb ddr3 extreme card .. its the best 6600gt out there !! it comes factory overclcoked and is priced around 9-10k now. and i hope u r looking for a pci-express card .. since u r on a 1.7 ghz procc i jst thought u might be having an agp wala board. agp versions are expensive and rare to find.

[Tommy Vercetti]

Well i have the 845 MOBO but plan to get an upgrade(915 with 3Ghz CPU) in 2-3 months.

SO, i will have to go for the AGP version. But my question is will I be able to use this AGP card on 915 ? I hope I dont have to throw it. Or rather i would wait till I upgrade my PC.

[Aniruddh]

yea better wait for 2-3 months as 915 chipset hav PCIE not agp so it will b a kinda waste of money.few companies like asrock hav AGP in der 915 chipset but than these companies wont giv u good performance.so better wait and get chipset from asus,msi,gigabyte etc etc with pcie.
