hey allwyn

Can you please enlighten me on memory bandwidth , memory clock etc. So i can also increse my knowledge .

[Ethan_Hunt]

Hmm....Lemme see.Though i am nowhere near to an expert i'll just give you a slight gist of what i know.

Memory Bandwidth is basically the rate of tranfer speeds from the Graphics processing Unit(GPU) to the main Graphics memory.The higher the rate of bandwidth the more will be the data transfer and hence your Gfx card will be able to draw textures faster.Latest cards support and push the bandwidth memory to as high as 35.2Gb/s(Geforce 6800Gt).

Memory clock speed is like the GPU's core clock speed just that it relates to the actual memory of the Gfx card and not the core speed.This speeds are reuiqred to apply pixels from the Graphics cards Memory which contains the main textures.Its mainly measured in Mhz.

Yesterday one of my friend bought a 6200 xfx 256 mb.After he plugged it in i realised that this card is a trash.It cant even run 1024*768 nfs u2(it actually runs but everything is jerky).Even at 800*600 the graphics start to buckle up with anything more than medium details.
Price 128 mb 128 bit 3200+tax
256 mv 128 bit 3800+tax
This card is not worth the the money.Surely it has the features of a hifg end card such as shader 3.0 but =it just doesnt hav the juice to get the advantage out of it.It surely feels in the same series as 5200 with some feature improvements.Thats it.We were using forceware 76.38 @8x mode.
Machine was 28ht with i875pnz canterwood with 512mb ddr 400 in dual channel with seagate sata.Fx 5700 is a much better card and is available in lower price right now.
So if u have the money go for 6600.Dont waste ur money here

Do u mean BIGforce cards? Never seen one but online reviews put it in the same league as xfx.
I own a fx 5900.i bought it @ 11 k.Now the price shd be a lot less but u shd go for 6600gt i think.currently going for 8.5 k for agp

the prices u quote are those of the 64bit ver. and not the 128bit ver. .... and you dont expect great performance from a card with 64bit mem. even if its a 6 series card .. now do you ???

oes 6200 really that bad??? i mean...its a lot newer than fx 5xxx series but if u have seen it in action....i will believe u...after all ur the in-hourse geek Smile

the 6200 really performs better than the lower end FX cards like the FX5200,FX5500,FX5700 ..... the FX5900 is better than the 6200 .. but if ur considring to get a FX5900 then dont coz. u'll get a 6600 at the same psice .. and a 6600 easily beats a FX5900 .....

hey guyz,

BIG stands for 'BEST IN GRAPHIC' the owner of this company are the same guyz who distribute xfx cards in india...yes u guessed it right...big byte corporation....they have start manufacturing their own brand of nvidia based graphic cards n they r approved by nvidia (imp: there r only 15 companies in d world who r approved by nvidia) so, BIG is gonna b the first indian company in the field of graphic cards.....now the main que...how they gonna manage selling both BIG n xfx cards bcos both of these cards r gonna b coming in the market thru bbc itself...i have no idea :roll: ....if any1 know abt the performance n price of BIG cards then du let me know...their url is www.big-tek.com but u wont find anything relevant...only three fu**ing images...try the search feature....the one n only feature which is working if u know more abt the BIG cards.....kindly post it here...lookin forward for lots of replys

bye

The price i quoted was for 128 bit version only dude.And u r wrong dude...fx 5700 is still a pretty decent card.6200 is no match for it.Its performance is somewhat between fx 5200 nd 5600.
And yes dont go for 5900 now.Spend around 8 k and u will get 128 mb 6600 nd 6600gt for 9.5 k for agp version.PCIe costs less.around 6k and 8 k respectively.
Still the price of 6200 is not justified..I wont spend 3.5 k for such a low end card.Its price shd be around 2 to 2.5 k max.
