The service is ok nd so the performance.If u are looking for a good budget solution then BIG or XFX are the answers.
U can go 4 it.Its not bad
I agree that it is not a bad deal but you can just not compare BIG with XFX as in many cases XFX can even outperform ASUS or gigabyte cards !!!

So no comparsion bwt BIG and XFX Cards !!!

Default Which graphics card to buy?

I've recently bought a PC with the following configurations:
1. AMD Athlon 64 (939) 3200+ Processor
2. MSI RS480 (IGP) Motherboard
3. Digi-Giga 256x2 400 MHz DDR (Dual Channel)
4. Seagate Barrucuda 80 GB SATA 7200 rpm HDD
5. LiteON Combo Drive
6. Samsung SyncMaster 793 MB 17" FFST CRT Monitor
7. APC BackUps 500 Ups

Now I intend to buy a PCX Graphics Card under Rs 8K. Which one to choose, Radeon or GeForce? I've seen many reviews praising the GeForce 6 series but since the mobo chipset is based on ATI Radeon, will using a GeForce card affects the graphics performance? Will using the Radeon card yield best graphic performace instead of the GeFroce ones considering my budget.
Also, when is a graphic card card supporting DX 10(?) likely to be introduced, in the near future? If so, should I wait for it?

If you stretch your budget just a little bit you can get a 6600GT. There won't be any issues using a nVidia card on a ATI mobo.

u can get the BIG Geforce 6600gt 128 mb for 9250/- .. its a very good card and people claim it is the same as BFG. it costs a thousand bucks more than your budget but its recommended.

Most probably there is no 128 bit version from xfx.U just may have to get a 256 mb one...
Correct me if Im wrong

ur card is a TC i think .... or is it ????

Moreover the 64bit mem. interface is a serious bottleneck ... ....

The only way to increase the gpu performance is by oc'ing it .... or play the game at low res.

my frnd went to purchase 6600 grafix card but he found many variants like
gainward 6600 gt, MSI 6600, XFX 6600 and two three more.

what is the difference betwwen all the above cards, do the performance of the above cards differ? If yes why so , cause all these cards have same graphic procc.?

TC -> Turbo Cache ..... it is a tech. by which the gpu is able to share system ram via the pcix architecture when its video memory runs short ....

And the 9250se is a Radeon card ... no way it can support TC ... only the newer low-end pci16x cards like the X300 from Ati can use a similar method termed Hyper-Memory for the Radeon series ....

Here's a bit of info on the 6600 variants :

6600
no. of pixel pipelines : 8
core clock : 350 MHz
mem. clock : 500 MHz
video mem. : 128/256 MB
mem. type : ddr
mem. interface : 128 bit

6600GT
no. of pixel pipelines : 8
core clock : 500 MHz
mem. clock : 1000 MHz
video mem. : 128/256 MB
mem. type : ddr3
mem. interface : 128 bit

So a 6600GT is better than the 6600 in actual performance ..... different companies sell similar cards ... i.e. similar cores ... with their own tweaks if any ....

a 6200 you say..
hmm..
that'd be a 128mb/128 bit ddr card?
Also sholud it be a leadtek,XFX,gigabyte or something else..

Found this somewhere:

LEADTEK A6200TD GEFORCE 6200 128MB 128BIT DDR AGP VGA DVI HDTV-OUT VIDEO CARD



Good enough?
Also I gave my comp specs abv beacuse i was worried that a kind of high-end card that fits in the 3k-4k budget may overexert my PC..
Is this something to be careful about with these specs?

comp specs are:
AMD athlon 1800+
MB: Asus A7n266-VM(one 4x agp slot)
512 MB at 266mHz

Also I wanted to know whether i would require to disable my onboard card (geforce2 32mb) as it draws on my PC memory, or it would happen automatically when I install the new one(6200 proposed)

U cant get a high-end card within 3k-4k .... u'll get only entry level mid-range cards .....

And yes ... u must disable onbard video if u install the card ....

The onboard video will auto disable itself when u insert that agp card but u may still have to disable shared memory in bios settings.
As far as card goes I would rather tell u to invest 1 thousand more nd get xfx 6600.

i am going for pci-ex version. shouldn't i buy the x800xl cause its perfomance is almost equivalent to a 6800gt.
