But as u said GAINWARD is the best of the lot.
But opinion differ on user experience.
For example one of my friend bought the XFX 6600gt 128mb PCI-E which started giving problem such as corrupt display, so he had to get a replacement which after all worked fine. This doesn't mean that XFX is bad but that particular product was faulty.
And now he is using LEADTEK 7800 GTX Extreme, which gives excellent performance as a series 7 should give.
As for me just waiting for the 7800's price to come down.

Hey John, are you buying the GT/GTX? Any idea about the current prices?

GUYS MY FRIEND WANTS TO BUY A GFX CARD FOR RS6000. I SUGGESTED HIM THE 6600GT DDR2(XFX) AGP VERSION. AGP BECAUSE HE HAS AN IBM PC WITH A 865G MOBO. NOW THE PROBLEM IS THAT I THINK THE AGP VERSION OF THIS CARD REQUIRES A MOLEX CONNECTOR AS THE AGP SLOT DOESN'T GIVE IT FULL POWER. SO WHAT SHUD I DO?

[coolsunny]

NVIDIA® nForce4 Ultra Chipset onboard ??

Hi, you can buy XFX 6600 256MB DDR2 PCI-ex (assuming that you have a PCI-express slot in your board). 6600GT 128MB is priced around a 1000 rupees more.

Yah nvidia has launched sometime back, but not sure if available as of now, but they will have in built slot in laptop and you can insert or so.
Nobody knows the exact way it will be implemented, but its emerging and it will take time!!

Hey guys,

Why is the price of 6800Ultra higher than the 7800 series of cards, is the ultra version of 6800 a higher performer than 7800 series???

Leadtek 6800 ULTRA 256MB = Rs.33,400/-
Leadtek 7800GT 256MB = Rs.24,400/-
Leadtek 7800GTX 256MB = Rs.29,400/-
Leadtek 6800 ULTRA 512MB = Rs.45,250/-
Leadtek 7800GTX 512MB = Rs.38,400/-

Foreign hardware and gaming review websites have also noted this fact. Perhaps the 6800Ultra series of cards are rarely available and also very expensive. On the other hand, the prices of 7800GT series of cards are steadily falling. That means that you are getting a higher performing card with less the price. This is a well known fact that 7800GT is obviously a higher performer that 6800Ultra series, simply because of higher clock speeds and 20 pixel pipelines per clock compared to 16 pipes of the 6800 ultra. Plus you are getting HDR and Shader Model 3.0 support and perhaps it can play the future direct X 10 games, which will make it's appearance later this year.

No one understands this absurd pricing by Nvidia, I strongly suggest you get the Leadtek/XFX 7800GT, if you have the money instead of 6800 ultra.

Well .... the 6800U and 6800GT's are no longer manufactured ...... so if u stumble upon one .. make sure u check the manufacturing date ..... these are now replaced by the 6800GS's ..... then comes the 7 series ..

[abhijit_reddevil]

Hello, can anyone tell me the safe working temperatures of 6800 series cards? My recently bought 6800GS is 45 deg on normal operation and goes over 61-62 deg on full load, i.e. playing Farcry, Doom3, Halo and other FPS. Is this safe?

[john_the_ultimate]

I think the temperatures are normal and u must also remember that temp. in kolkata is also rising (summer season is close).

Should be, according to the stats on the ASUS website and else where also (newegg and td). But i wonder if it is available in India.....and at what price(above10-12k will make no sense)

http://www.ati.com/products/RadeonX1300/specs.html http://www.nvidia.com/page/geforce_6200.html

Check out what u like.
PS: Both the cards r available in AGP versions.....r u looking for AGP or PCI-e

[supersaiyan]

i was just wondering not looking forward to buying the cards.

[sahil_blues]

i am really a rookie in all this....will an Intel 865G be able to support DDR3 memory??....also can anyone from dehi here give me a price update on nvidia 6600's and 6800's??...most probably i would goto nehru place to purchase the card....
