Yup either the 9600pro or XT if u find one thats is arnd 10k. Also if u don't wanna spend 2-3k extra u will be missing on the best VFM card out right now and that is the 6600GT which costs 13-13.5k. If u can somehow manage the xtra 2-3k then u will get atleast 1.5-2 times the performance of a 9600XT card with the 6600GT. Or else 9600XT is the way to go.

[Sourabh]

which was the manufacturer who claimed to provide 6600GT at a price less than the XFX make ??

any info abt it

and how is the MSI 6600GT any direct comparisons between them?

The Radeon 9550 is better than the FX 5200.

[blade_runner]

@sourabh: Gainward had promised that. Also MSI is better than xfx, even ledtek has 6600GTs available which are much better than xfx's.

@gagan: Even though the 9550SE is better than the 5200 (even the 5200 has 64 bit memory) it will choke in games due to the 64 bit memory. Best thing to do wud b to get a card like 9550 (not se) or 9600 non pro with 128 bit memory.

Well well therein lies the catch, u have no warranty unfortunately in india. Or if the card gets screwed then u will have to send it back again. So sending it back and fro to cost you as much . If u getting a hi-end card like the x800 or 6800GT or ultra then the risk is worth it.

[Sourabh]

man its all abt destiny

try ur LUCK

but if it works i cod get a card at half the price aint it?




Stone cold:
"....for me every single cut,stitch, bump, bruise has been worth it !!"

Many of you told me to get a 6600 GT and now i have managed to get 13k. which brand should i go for (6600GT).
is the 6600GT card available at a cheaper rate outside india? (malaysia or dubai)

thanks

[blade_runner]

Brands in order of preference:
BFG, Gainward, Ledtek, Asus, MSI, Gigabyte, XFX.

Outside india the 6600GT wud be arnd 7-8k.

[Sourabh]

i wod still say buy the cheapest 6600GT available

there aint tht much of a difference

[darklord]

go get yourself an Asus 6600GT,its a nice card.

My order of preference-
Asus,BFG,Evga,Leadtek,Gainward,XFX,Gigabyte,MSI... .

[Sourabh]

now whtis the price of the asus one

[blade_runner]

Shud be arnd 14k i assume.

9800XT is not yet dead. I want to know which one is better? Both 6600GT and 9800XT are good performers but there is not a clear winner. 9800 XT can outperform the 6600GT in some benchmarks and vice versa. It's like choosing a winner between 6800 Ultra and X850XT PE. What should i buy? 9800XT or 6600GT? I am leaning towards 9800XT , i really like it's performance. Should i buy this card or get 6600GT instead. Is 9800XT future proof?

[Sourabh]

go for 6600GT

its a new card, so a good resale value

Then it really boils down to whether you will be playing opengl games like doom3 and kotor 2 since 6600GT performs well in those. If you want good aa and af routines, the temporal aa and af implementation frm ATi is really better than nvidia's imho. Also the 6600GT is more future proof due to SM 3.0 support. If you are planning to go for the 6600GT then go for the absolute best like gainward or leadtek.

[Sourabh]

i dunno y but after seeing leadtek ads in the mags i feel its the worst of brands

[supersaiyan]

the choice is clear . 6600gt. its got ps3.0 and vs3.0. so that makes it futureproof. plus it performs better. if u can searh on the net it says that the 6600gt is better. although there is neck to neck performance by both the cards but 6600gt comes out better. plus u see the price to perfomance ratio. i think the radeon is for 16-17k whereas the 6600gt is for 13k. also when the half life 2 fix is applied to nvidia cards they shine out better.
i myself own a 6600gt(gainward) and it rocks in doom3. no wonder its called the doom 3 card.

[Sourabh]

whoa gainward??

it was supposed to be priced lower rite?

at wht price did u get it?

[Delpiero]

Thanks for your replies. Performance wise 9800XT might have slight edge but technology wise 6600GT is better. 9800 XT is for 13-14 k not 16-17 k. It's called a doom3 card because nvdia tied up with doom 3 makers while preparing their 6xxx series. But the Ati always do well in AA and AF department. Tough choice to make. Follow the link.

It's a pretty good brand. Not great but it's good. Atleast not the worst of brands.

[sachinc]

[Sourabh]

@rachit

dude y r u posting the same things in bigger fonts at so many places

wht u are doing is another word for 'SPAM'

i have reported ur threads

@aravind

first mention for wht interface are u looking for these cards pci-e or AGP

6200 pci-e has 2 variants plain 6200 and 6600 Turbo Cache

the are not yet available in AGP form

a 6600GT wod cost u abt 12.5k

yea the price of plain 6600 is wht u have got around 8-9k

well if u are low on budget then only buy a bottle-neck 6200

as for 5900/9800 these are not chipsets but GPUs

these can out-perform the 6200 anytime anyplace anywhere
