i m confused.....plz help me

Maybe in the core and memory clock speeds! XFX 7800GT's come already factory overclocked at 450/525 as per the site, www.xfxforce.com. There are only two variants, one with TV-out and other without it. So I am little confused yaar, from where did you get to know about extreme gamer edition and special edition? Could you point me to the link? But there are variants of the 7800GTX, 256 MB, normal 512MB and the 512MB xxx edition, which is factory overclocked.

Dear Digitized and Aniruddh,

Thanks for all the support and hey the 6800 wud have been out of my budget and i cant even dream of 7800 atleast for now . BTW i had been to Lamington road and got the 6600GT 128 mb DDR3 for 9550/- Powersafe 500 watts SMPS for 2600/- and now will get a VIP G100 for i guess 2,300 without the SMPS, not sure what price its for without SMPS.

The 6600GT is great tho. It really rocks atleast for me

BTw got the card and PSU from Computer Culture shop at lamington, nice guy over there.

Thanks a lot again Dudes!!!

P.S Aniruddh thanks for your option for going for 6800, but actually i wanted a grapichs card which cud show medium to high details and play at 800X640 and i am able to play with high details in HL2, NFS underground 2 and even AOE 3.

Is Geforce6200 with TC better than the non-Tc version?
Why?

[Aniruddh]

6200 non tc is much better then that of 6200tc.6200 non tc has its own memory where as tc version share memory from the system.most of the card wid its own memory performance better.6200tc is one of the worst card.

[reddevil2]

hey my friend wats a g-card.
his budget is abt 2500.
tell mi a good card which can play games like nfs most wanted and fifa06 on it.

[roydon]

Why?

GeForce 6200 is the entry-level graphics chip family from nVidia for the PCI Express bus, competing directly with Radeon X300 and the new Radeon X1300 families from ATI.

->The main problem with GeForce 6200 family is the quantity of different memory configurations that you can find in the market.

->First, we have the “regular� model and the “TurboCache� model, which “steals� memory from the main system RAM to be used as video memory.

->Secondly, the memory interface can be of 128 bits or 64 bits or even 32 bits in some extreme cases. Also, the board manufacturer can set the memory clock as they wish, as nVidia doesn’t set a standard clock rate for GeForce 6200.

->So, there are several different kinds of GeForce 6200 in the market and it is really hard for the regular user to know the differences between them.

->A GeForce 6200 from manufacturer A can be a completely different product compared to GeForce 6200 from manufacturer B.

->This is really a hassle, since you may choose a GeForce 6200 because you were satisfied by the performance of the PC of a friend or relative and also order a GeForce 6200, to discover later that you got a totally different board, with totally different performance.


Leadtek, for example, carries seven different GeForce 6200 models:

WinFast A6200 TDH: 128 MB, 64-bit, chip running at 350 MHz, memory running at 500 MHz, AGP
WinFast A6200 TD: 128 MB, 128-bit, chip running at 300 MHz, memory running at 550 MHz, AGP
WinFast PX6200 TD: 128 MB, 128-bit, chip running at 300 MHz, memory running at 550 MHz, PCI Express
WinFast PX6200 TC TDH 64 MB on-board: TurboCache, 64 MB, 32-bit, chip running at 300 MHz, memory running at 550 MHz, PCI Express
WinFast PX6200 TC TDH 128 MB on-board: TurboCache, 128 MB, 64-bit, chip running at 300 MHz, memory running at 550 MHz, PCI Express
WinFast PX6200 TC TDH supporting 128 MB: TurboCache, 16 MB, 32-bit, chip running at 350 MHz, memory running at 700 MHz, PCI Express
WinFast PX6200 TC TDH supporting 256 MB: TurboCache, 32 MB, 64-bit, chip running at 350 MHz, memory running at 550 MHz, PCI Express

Out of these take only GeForce 6200 with 128 MB and 128-bit interface from Leadtek (WinFast PX6200TD) Price : Rs 4000(exact).

Its equalent to Geforce 6600 with just a small difference in fps.

Doom3 fps @ 1024 x 768 (low settings)



Doom 3 fps @ 1024 x 768 (Highest settings)



Farcry fps @ 1024 x 768 (low settings)



Farcry fps @ 1024 x 768 (Very High settings)

sorry i dint get you,i was the one who sent this review to hardwaresecrets.com and i copy pasted it from my harddisk not from the site ok.Next time discuss these things in PM(follow our forum rules dont post silly off topics in between)

[abhijit_reddevil]

Copied or not copied, please do these discussions in PM. Anyway, nice article, it will really help someone looking to buy a 6200.

[nadeem69]

Hi ,
I'm looking for the best graphics card that comes in and around RS 5K .
Please respond immediately , Winter holidays are upon us !!
I live in Hyderabad and where can i find it ?



Thanx a lot,
nadeem69.

P.S: I have an MSI 915G combo motherboard . I dont know any more details .

[abhijit_reddevil]

Well, you can get Leadtek WinFast PX6200 TD: 128 MB, 128-bit, chip running at 300 MHz, memory running at 550 MHz, PCI Express. This was explained a few posts earlier in this thread itself. And please make sure that it is a 128-bit one and not having turbocache memory but having it's own memory. This should come within your budget and compatible with your motherboard (915 chipset) which has a PCI-express slot.

This should come within your budget. I am not sure of the price of 6600 with both DDR and DDR2 memory. So I am not recommending that. But it will be definitely better than 6200. But it should be priced a shade over 6500 for a 256MB version.

[vijay_7287]

hey folks check this thing
http://cgi.ebay.in/Brand-New-BFG-Gef...QQcmdZViewItem


and this

http://cgi.ebay.in/Evga-Geforce-6800...QQcmdZViewItem


are they fraud ????
or else wat is the funda behind this thing ???

[john_the_ultimate]

What's fraud about those thing? The bidding is ongoing and they have shown the products they are selling.

[sunmysore]

hmmm....eVGA doesnt exist in india....i seriously doubt he'll provide the warranty

EDIT

Minimum System Requirements

* Intel Pentium III or IV, Celron, AMD, Duron, Sempron, or Athlon class processor or higher
* 128MB of RAM
* Windows XP
* CD or DVD-ROM Drive
* 35MB available Hard Disk Space (50MB for full installation)

is thuis a joke?? P3!!! duron, sempron...lol

[abhijit_reddevil]

Well, I personally think that the seller himself or one of his close acquantances have bought this thing in the US and after using it for a few days, is selling it here. I also seriously doubt he will provide the warranty. Only XFX provides double lifetime warranty there (USA) and that too for only the 7800 series.

Keep away from bidding on this...friends.

[z3r0]

I am planning to buy a Graphics Card - budget 4 to 5K.

I have Mercury KOB P4M266 NDFSMX Mother Board, which has AGP 4x (1.5V).

Can somebody suggest a good AGP8X Card (as I might upgrade my Mother Board in the near future) that could be used with my Mother Board...

Also, Can I go for XFX Geforce fx 5200 128MB or 256 MB ??

[john_the_ultimate]

If you really thinking about upgrading ur mobo then might as well wait and buy a pci-e gfx card and its supporting mobo.

[nadeem69]

WHat exactly is the difference between the various models ? like 6600 , 6800 ,6600v , 6600 LE ,.............etc. Also which is better , Leadtek or XFX or Zebronics ?


Thanx a lot,
nadeem69.

[TechGuru#1]

Is going for a XFX 6800GS XXX Edition PCI-E @ 15,500 a Right thing to do......PRICE & PERFORMANCE WISE.......WORTH IT?



And do anybody know....HOW MANY MODELS/MAKE of "6800GS" from "XFX" are RELEASED in the INDIAN Market?

AFAIK...there is ONLY 1 VERSION of 6800GS from XFX...released in INDIA..by RASHI..i.e the XFX 6800GS XXX Edition(256 MB-PCI-Express)..........
....Now,am I CORRECT?

[roydon]

Dude,I have my eye on that card too.And I think it is totally worth the price.Given the performance,it beats the 6800GT and costs 5K less.You do the math.Upgrading my system to a AMD system
