I want to buy a graphic card within the range of 15000/-.Tell me which graphic should i buy?

[blade_runner]

u can get a gainward 6800 AGP for 13.5k
A leadteak 6800GT for an extra 2k over ur budget i.e. 17k

or a 6600GT for 11.5k

[KHUBBU]

BIG 6600 GT costs 9.6k BBC, nehru place

XFX costs 10.7k

wait for 6800 prices to drop a little bit.
Hey Blade finally i'm going to buy 6600 GT (BIG) today. Thanks for all the information u have given me in buying a gfx card right from 9600 to 6600.

Hey! here in Mysore I inquired the dealer said 12.5k for Zebronics 6600GT 128MB AGP card. I inquired elsewhere as well. All the dealers quoted around same price. And you people say it around 9.5k and 10k, it is really cheating. Why is so much of difference?

I dont think that the card offered to me is an Extreme Edition. But still I will check out.

If I can get the card couriered to my place for just 100 bucks extra then it is good. But I did not find any link on the zebronics site for ordering the card. I have mailed them yesterday inquiring about the gfx card but have not replied yet.

Finally I got a reply from Zebronics. They said the Extreme version of the card comes only in pci-ex card and not in AGP (Frankly, I didnt know this.). They have offered the 6600 GT 128bit 128MB card for 11.5k including all taxes and free shipping. which I think is in par with the prices in rest of the country.

If I buy locally then I will have to pay 12.5k and if I order directly through zebronics then I will be saving 1k. So, I am going ahead and buying this.

Thanks khandu for your suggesion to contact zebronics.

Shastri.

As I was about to send a reply to zebronics people for the 6600 gt, I got a mail from BIG (I had requested them also for the price of the 6600gt card). They offered me their graphics card for Rs. 9750+4% +Rs. 200 courier charges which totals to Rs. 10340. Now I am confused whether to buy the zebronics card or the BIG card. Which card is better? Money is not the issue here as I was ready to buy zebronics card. Frankly speaking I had never heard of this company - BIG. I could'nt find their website also. How are their products? Should I buy the trusted zebronics card or should I go for the BIG card?
Please help me.

Shastri.

---EDIT--- Also I missed a point..zebronics card has 2 yrs waranty and the BIG card has 3 yrs warantty. ----EDIT--

[Ringwraith]

zebronics offers Leadtek cards, which make good proven nvidia cards..i think u ought to go with it instead of BIG

[mohit]

hey guyz plz help me buy a pci-express card for not more than 14,000/- ... i am confused between the following models,

1. WinFast PX6600 GT TDH Extreme
http://www.leadtek.com/3d_graphic/wi...extreme_2.html

2. WinFast PX6800 LE TDH
http://www.leadtek.com/3d_graphic/wi...0le_tdh_2.html

3. WinFast PX6800 TDH
http://www.leadtek.com/3d_graphic/wi...800_tdh_2.html


Plz suggest the best among these. Also if there are any other cards from other companies within my budget then plz suggest. Is the plain 6800 / 6800 LE better than the 6600GT ?

thanx in advance.

[khandu]

go for 1st option.. its overclocked and as good as the 6800 , but if u have lots of money then maybe PX6800..

keep the LE as last option.. i guess..

[KHUBBU]

Hey shastri, go for BIG, I was also going to buy one but the dealer (BBC) at Delhi was out of stock. So returned empty handed back to VNS. He said the new lot would be arriving soon, its delayed bocz of rain and all.

To my best knowledge, its actually a BFG 6600 GT card which BBC is selling in India as BIG.

see this link:

and its performance at overclocked levels:

Congrats mate !

@mohit: go for the 6600GT extreme version or if u wanna try your luck @ unlocking extra pipes then go for the normal 6800 however theperformance increase on unlocking the extra pipes is not too significant. Still if u fancy having the 6800 series then get it.

1. Yes you are right. They dont have the stocks right now. They said they will have the cards only after July 16th.

2. Your knowledge is very good. BIG sells BFG 6600GT.

3. I did not contact directly to any dealer. I e-mailed them that I wanted to buy a card and asked them what they were offering.

I think I will go with the BIG card as most of the people have recommended and its cheaper also.

Shastri.

[Ringwraith]

are u sure that they are giving u a BFG card? BFG's one of the best manufacturers for nvidia cards, but i still think the leadtek extreme version will give more performance....altho i m not sure whether it justifies the 1k extra cost in ur case!

Hey bendre, Buy a 6600GT 128 MB. It is a very good card which fits your budget.

[wizrulz]

When u have a 10K budget for graphics card do not thnk go for 6600Gt w/o doubt its the best card for that kinda budget

[direct_2d]

Is 6600GT 128 better than 6600 256?
Why?

[deathvirus_me]

hell yeah .. a 6600 gives about 1/3 performance of a 6600GT ...

compare this :

6600 nonGT : stocked at 300/500 , 128bit ddr mem (2.8ns/3.0ns) .. 7.8 GBps memorybandwith
6600GT : stocked at 500/1000 , 128bit ddr3 mem. (1.6ns/2.0ns) .. 15.63 GBps memory bandwidth

the higher memory bandwidth means better performance at higher res. with aa,af ...

[akshayt]

6600gt may atmost go abt 80-90% of up or lower to 6600 vanilla
256mb with geforce 6600 is not as good buy fro today

[thegame_rulez]
