Ooooooooooh!!! Doom_Marine, the 7800GTX 512MB!!! :roll: Wow!!! That's the best buddy. But if possible get the XFX GeForce 7800 GTX 512MB DDR3 XXX Edition!!! 8) 8) 8) It's factory overclocked at 580/1730 (vs. standard 550/1700). Also XFX offers a cool double lifetime warranty and the software contents of the package is also great. 8). If you are spending so much money then get the best in the world.

Please post the price once it is bought and also post the 3d mark 03 and 05 scores. You must get around 18000 to 20000 3d mark 05 scores 8) depending on the other components. And the 3d mark 03 score must be over 25000...!!! 8) It's stuff only dreams are made of.

All 6600GT's are priced between 9000 and 11000 depending on brand. Among the 6600GT's you have mentioned, LeadTek WinFast PX6600 GT TDH Extreme 128MB DDR3 PCI-E is the best. If you get 6600GT then get the 128MB version, as the performance gain of 256MB over 128MB is marginal due to it's 128-bit interface and the extra price is not worth it considering the performance.

All 6800GT's are priced between 24000 and 26000 depending on brand. Here get 256MB of memory as it is really worth it (don't think there is 128MB version of 6800GT, by the way) due to 256-bit memory interface.

It all depends on budget, but the 6800GT is definitely better than 6600GT.

today only i came to know that 7800GS has been launched so does any one know how much does it costs and how good it is?and is it better than 7800GT?

The performance of the 7800GS is between that of 6800GS and 7800GT. Anandtech has benchmarked it here, see for yourself.

[anirudhasarawgi]

i checked both leadtek n xfx 6800gt and found that the GPU/Memory clock is 350/500mhz whereas 6600gt got 500/1000mhz....why is that?

i heard that msi 6600gt/6800gt produces less frame rate than leadtek/xfx....is this right ?

Whats the actual price of xfx 6800gt 256MB RAM PCI-E and leadtek 6800gt 256MB RAM PCI-E ?

nvidia partners are yet to come out with a commercial version of the 7800GS, the one that anand benchmarked was an engineering sample.

@anirudhsarawgi: the 6800gt has almost double the number of transisitors than the 6600GT, hence raising core clock to 500mhz will need some big cooling too, hence the difference.
However both 6600gt/6800gt feature samsung 2ns or 1.6ns GDDR3 memory, so both of them can run their memories ~ 1000mhz

regarding MSI gpus not being at par with leadtek/xfx, its false info, However both leadtek and XFX offer pre-overclocked versions of 6600gt/6800gt, which obviously has higher performance numbers than the stock versions. The bottomline is if u are not buying an "extreme"/"gamers edition" card frm xfx/leadtek, then all these manufactures will have have more or less similar performances.

[anirudhasarawgi]

theres no extreme version of 6800gt of leadtek or xfx.....theres 6800gs extreme version.....r 6800gs good? r 6800gs SLI ready?

[Toocool]

I have dediced to go in for a Cheap Graphics card now..

My dealer suggested 6200 TC.. available in both 64 ad 128 mb cards

What the TC does is.. Suppose i buy 64 mb version and suppose there is more requirement then it makes use of the RAM..

The 64 mb costs 1.8k and 128 mb costs around 2k+

Do u guys suggest this card?

If not then please suggest a card which costs less tahn 3k preferably..

I do not play lots of games.. i want this mem card for video editing and for playing some normal games.. Might play doom3 but i do not need any eye candy stuff.. Resolution of the game is also not imp at all..

[Aniruddh]

no i wont suggest u to get 6200 TC.yea 6200 TC share memory from ur system it dont hav its own memory it will cost u around 3-3.5k.

[Toocool]

Why is it not recommended? It does share system memory right?

Abd 6200 TC has a memory of its own.. 64 mb or 128 mb

[yash]

i have an old compaq pc which has an agp slot.i need to upgrade the graphics card on it.can i still get agp cards?around how much for which model?

[mohit]

The 6200 TC(Turbo Cache) version is a slowed down version of the original...and i advice you strongly not to go for it...

While the normal GeForce 6200 is based on the NV43 graphics processor (GeForce 6600) with four of the eight pixel pipelines as well as the "Color Compression" feature deactivated, Nvidia actually created a new processor (NV44) for the GeForce 6200 TurboCache. To keep the transistor count down, the NV44 only has four pixel pipelines to begin with. Like the NV43, this processor also comes with three vertex shaders, but only two ROPs (Raster Operation Pipes) instead of four. However, cutting this corner has a huge negative impact on memory access times. Yet these aren't the only differences between the standard GeForce 6200 (NV43) and the new GeForce 6200 TC cards (NV44).

The "TC" abbreviation appended to the model number stands for TurboCache. Of course, despite what the name implies, this processor is in no way turbocharged, nor does it sport any integrated caches or embedded-DRAM. Instead, following the low-cost mantra that "less is more," there is still less to cards based on this processor - namely less local video memory. Indeed, "TurboCache" is a prime example of vacuous and exaggerated market-speak names.

i also want a cheap agp card just for the period beford agp gets totaly battered and put in the museum. whats the cheapest deal available?

[john_the_ultimate]

Could someone give price for POWERCOLOR X800 XL 256mb AGP in Kolkata and from where to buy.

This is the card : http://www.digit-life.com/articles2/video/r430-2.html

[abhijit_reddevil]

Hi John, last heard the price of X800XL is around Rs.18000. You can try Tirupati Enterprises@22251192/93.Once went to their showroom at Robert Street, Bowbazar. They stock all kinds of Geforce and Radeon high-end cards.

Is this for your friend who previously wanted the X800XT PE? I remember you posting a query regarding this a few days ago...

[john_the_ultimate]

Yes digitized its for my friend. He is a very confused lad, has a budget of around 15K. Suggest any other card except 6600gt.
He just doesn't want 6600gt, says that every one has it so he wants something different. Mad fellow but my best friend, so see if u could help him out. I've told him that I have a very good buddy online( that's you) who could help him. So plz any help.....

One more thing he needs an agp card not pci-e.

[Aniruddh]

@john go for 6800GS which is way better than 6600GT and it juz cost 15k one of the most VFM GPU and very gud performer.

[john_the_ultimate]

But as far as I know 6800gs is not an AGP card. They are planning to release it in AGP flavour but it will take time. Thanks Aniruddh but could plz suggest an AGP card.

[Aniruddh]

X800XL is a very good card.if i m not wrong than it shud cost u around 16k.its better than 6600GT.

[john_the_ultimate]

Could u tell me where could I find it. And the name of the manufacturer.You didn't provide the details. Plz specify a good shop, maybe a one that u trust and buy hardware from. Plz give more details of the card so that I could see it's review on the net.

[Aniruddh]

u can go for POWERCOLOR X800XL.for more details check this- http://www.powercolor.com/global/mai...t=agp&chp=x800

[abhijit_reddevil]

John, you have three options except 6600GT within 15k. They are Powercolor X800GT, Powercolor X800GTO, and Leadtek 6800GS. All have 256-bit memory interface and better than 6600GT. But I also want a X800GTO for my friend too, haven't found out a shop which has it till now in Kolkata. But Tirupati has leadtek, ask them and they might be able to help you. Also when you ask, can you ask about the GTO?
