bharat_r · 27-12-2005, 04:45 AM

Can u guys suggest a graphics card for me.
price <=5k
I have an 4x AGP on my MB..will an 8x AGP card work on it?
I'd prefer Geforce.

My current system config:
P4 2 Ghz
512 MB DDR Ram

I'm planing to get the graphics card in Jan or Feb.

vijay_7287 · 27-12-2005, 08:30 PM

all 8x cards are backward compatible
so no probs there

if u can stretch ur budget a bit

go for geforce 6600(non gt) from Leadtek
cost = 5.5k

wow looks like a lot of people here are doing what i did...i bought a 6600 256mb card for my old mobo which says agp 1.5v card only i guess that means agp4x...but i have a little problem, i tried installing the card this morning but it always hangs at the windows boot screen.the screen is working fine so i guess the problem is not with the 250 watts smps... i know it might give flickering in the future...but for now,how do i get my pc started?when i tried to boot in safe mode, i found that its stopping at agp4.04.dll or something like this.then i even tried my old card, tried repairing win xp with the cd and then tried both cards but even after this my pc wont boot.HELP!!!

yash · 05-01-2006, 11:22 PM

ok i made a little mistake while stating this..the file at which it was stopping is agp440.sys and now,after i installed windows on the 2nd partition, i can start it after disconnecting one of my cddrives.so i figure the problem is definately with the power supply.but a few times, i also got the blue screen that said that d drive must b checked 4 consistency.in that it is saying that some file in nvidia folder had error..i dont remember this clearly because i was very frustrated...any ideas?

@sid311
fyi the Leadtek geforce 6800GS is priced at Rs.16850 inclusive of all taxes. and the GS extreme version is about a thousand bucks more.

supersaiyan · 07-01-2006, 10:33 PM

6800 gs in delhi at rashi is for 18000

supersaiyan · 07-01-2006, 10:34 PM

yash · 09-01-2006, 02:29 PM

can anyone troubleshoot my problem?

Incinerator · 10-01-2006, 06:24 AM

Please pardon my ignorance, but i am being made to believe by a friend that there are some pcie compatible agp cards. U can plug it into a pcie slot. It'll work albeit with some performance degradation.

My friend asserts that his Asus 6600 GT (AGP) is a dual compatible one and assures me that he has tested it successfully on a pcie 16x slot on someone's computer.

He further confirmes that its written on the cover of the box of his card that the card is designed to run perfectly with the next generation pcie bus architecture. This new bus doubles the bandwidth of agp 8x delievering over 4gb/s in both upstream and downstream data transfers. Its sli as well and pcie express certified.

Summary : So do we have any Dual Compatible graphics cards which can be used on both AGP 8x and PCIe 16x. What i am saying is .. u pull it from an agp slot.. and plug it into a pcie slot ??

Sounds too good to be true. Is it really so ?

john_the_ultimate · 10-01-2006, 11:07 AM

No, pci-e card is not compatible with a agp slot and vice versa. Ur friend must have some wrong information. Maybe someone is telling him these thing and he in turn telling it to u. Tell him to search the net and he would find the answer.
There are few motherboard which have both agp as well as pci-e slot. One such board I remember is Foxconn 915PL7AE-8S, read about it in DIGIT mag.

abhijit_reddevil · 10-01-2006, 11:32 AM

@John: Another one I remember is something like Asrock 939 Dual SATA2 for the AMD platform. It has both AGP as well as PCI-express slot.

http://www.asrock.com/product/product_939Dual-SATA2.htm

10-01-2006, 11:33 AM

Dual compatible graphics cards... he he he ..

yash · 10-01-2006, 11:36 AM

agp slot cards are physically unable to fit in a pci-e slot.
(correct me if i`m wrong)

Incinerator · 10-01-2006, 11:36 PM

And i got my hopes high for a moment.
Thanks for clearing my doubt fellows.

TechGuru#1 · 11-01-2006, 12:05 AM

Can sum1 clear my DOUBT?
Is the XFX 6800GS available in INDIA @ RP-Tech(Rashi) distro available ONLY in the PLAIN model or is the XXX(F-O'led) version also available??

BTW,another IMP Q'n
Can the Plain XFX 6800GS be Moded to the XFX 6800GS XXX Edition???

abhijit_reddevil · 11-01-2006, 12:59 AM

@Techguru: The only model that Rashi distributes in India is the XXX version, model no: PV-T42G-UAD7. Not sure about the price though. Different places have different prices. I too am targeting that one next month.

ONLY HOPE,THAT IS THE CASE, for I have ordered for a 6800GS from RASHI-Mumbai & that have been currently delivered & is deposited at my Dealer's ofice(YET NOT SEEN,NOR DTLD CHKD).

So,IF Rashi sells only the XFX 6800GS "XXX" Edition in India & My ONE is that........then all "GHEE-SHAKAR" to You Buddy.

Can Only tell by tomorrow,what actually is the case!

Why don't you check the model number and see if it matches with the one mentioned above?

Please inform us which one you got and the price. I am looking forward to it.
