and what about 16X, 1X and 4X PCI express slot??

thnx 4 reply

@paul_007,

i would suggest u go for an NVIDIA 7900GT/GTX. these are not available in india yet. these cards are comparable to ATI 1900XT/XTX but are less costly than ATI. 7900GT is available at newegg for $299. GTX should cost u max $500. saved u some dollars, didn't i? what makes these cards stand out from ATI 1900XT/XTX is that these are lighter, less power hungry and much cooler than ATI cards. these cards are inserted in a PCIE X16 slot(usually brown or black colored) of ur mobo. the PCI slots are the ones which are usually white in color. also the length of PCIX16 slot is more than the length of a PCI slot. BTW which mobo do u own?

where in india do u stay paul. i too wanted an AGP 4x/8x ATI X1600 pro card but this is rarely available here. can u purchase this card for me from the US. i will of course pay the price. but before that i have to know what it will cost me in rupees. i checked newegg and found out this link

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102665

cool card at a cool price its approx $120 + $5(shipping). my budget is max Rs 6000/- and i think this one fits in perfectly. also tell me if u could buy this card for me my email address is manishnair123@yahoo.co.in
plz help me and reply either at my mail address or here only.

[myhotdog]

Hi people, i have an Intel 845GVSR MainBoard
It has no PCi-e slot and not even an AGP slot too!
So, i wanna buy a PCi Video Card!
Please tell me the Best PCI Video Card with a price ranging around 6k!
Thank you, guys!

[makarand]

check out ebay

[mayanksharma]

Radeon cards are much much better than the older nvidia FX cards!! Though their performance in some games may vary.
choose powercolor as your manufacturer and go for 9600 se or 9800XT.

[abhijit_reddevil]

Wait, never go for SE versions, choose only 9600/9800pro or XT.

[yeshu26]

When i go the tech briefs of 6 series I see that it has ultrashadow 2.
But when I see the link 6200 AGP card I dont see ultrashadow 2 thingy?

Does 6200 agp card has ultrashadow 2 tecH?

[yogi7272]

well i am looking for 6600 gt agp 128 mb . card ?

now which brand to go for ? xfx , gainward , or any other ?

look main criteria is, it should perform well and should not cost much ..
last time i asked for it and the dealer quoted 10 k

common xfx 6600 gt agp is like 150 dollars in us .. and its so overpriced here in india .. i dont want to spend much on gpu .. this is like one time investment .. i mean no other agp card after this .. my next rig will be dual core with pci-e gpu ... hence so pls people advise me on this matter ..

[deadmanrulz]

well i am totall n00b when comin to graphics cards can u suggest me good 3d card of abt 256mb budget below some 6k or somethin

[john_the_ultimate]

@yogi7272
You could go for LEADTEK or XFX, low cost and great performance. Cost around 7-8K. Check with local vendor. One of my friend bought a leadtek 6600gt 128mb AGP for 8K.
The golden edition from GAINWARD are the best but would cost much more than others I mentioned.
By the way what's ur budget?
If gaming is not very essential, u could go for 6600 non gt.

@deadmanrulz
You could go for 6600 non gt of any brand as long as it comes within ur budget or if u could increase ur budget then buy 6600gt.

[yogi7272]

hey john_the_ultimate , thank you .. well i can shell 9.5 k for this agp card .. r u sure that leadtek 6600 gt agp is for 8 k ..man that's great ..

i was quoted like 9.8 k for xfx 6600 gt agp .. i from mumbai .. is there any chance of me getting that price here in mumbai? leadtek is great too ..

ohh i am looking for 6600gt 128 mb only .. no 256 mb for me ..

[john_the_ultimate]

Well yogi7272 my friend got the card from Bangalore, his elder brother works there. Don't know the price in Mumbai.
Me also got the leadtek 6600gt 128mb PCI-E card from Bangalore in December 2005 for 8900/-. But as I said check with ur local vendors.

[TechGuru#1]

uptill when will the 6800GS remain in the market as a Viable Graphics card? <Max period till which it makes sense 2 play on it?

[deathvirus_me]

uptill when will the 6800GS remain in the market as a Viable Graphics card? <Max period till which it makes sense 2 play on it?

Well ... it'll definitely remain for some time .... but is easily outshined by the 7600GT ....

[yogi7272]

i think then the price of 9.5-9.8 k is right for 6600 gt agp xfx version .. as pci e version is abt 8.8 k ... also it is native pci e chip and u need a pci e to agp bridge chip to produce it in agp version .. lets see what are the prices here in mumbai right now ?

abt 6800 gs .. it will be a good option for agp users along with 6600 gt and the new 7800 gs .. but for pci express newer 7600 gt performs equally good with 128 bit memory interface due to its high clock speeds ..

it upto users to decide ..both are excellent choices ..

as for my 6600 gt agp .. people pls advice which is the absolute best in performance .. in 128 mb version .. .budget is now 10 k.
.

[john_the_ultimate]

You are right yogi7272, checked at my place and the price for xfx 6600gt 128mb AGP was qouted around 9.5K. The pci-e being at around 8.5K(leadtek).

I think u should go for xfx since it is widely available and they have a better after sale service.

But as far as performance is concerned, the GAINWARD beats all.

[makarand]

what does the x1600 from ATi cost. Is it a better performer than the corresponding 6800

[Iluvatar]

My computer has the following specifications: Intel 3 GHz Processor, ASRock 775Dual-915GL m/b with PCIe slot, 512MB DDR400 RAM, 17in Syncmaster 793s CRT monitor. What is the best graphic card I can get for Rs.10-15k?

----------N00B ALERT-------------------

[john_the_ultimate]

@ Iluvatar
The best at ur budget would be xfx 6800gs 256mb DDR3 pci-e.

[rahul_becks23]

please post the current price for-
Gecube X1800XT 512 PCIe

[deadmanrulz]

[royal]

can anyone quote recent prices of 256MB 6800GS PCI and 7600GT PCI cards ...

BTW,which one is better ?

[ashfame]

Calling all graphics guru.......
Suggest be the best Graphics card 256MB RAM, for a PCI slot (not PCI-e)
I only have PCI slots on my mobo.
Don't suggest me to change my mobo.
It should support Pixel shaders and things like that.
It should be directx 9.0c compatible.
My budget is not much more than 7k.
I know it won't be a good performer than on AGP & PCI-e but still i want it.
I hav heard of $170 NVIDIA GeForce 6600 256MB 128-bit,
shader model 3
pixel pipes 8.
The company should provide good service.
Make sure i am able to play gta san andreas & nfsmw with it.

[makarand]

[ashfame]

Members here don't seem to respond,
it seems that this thread has been started for sake of nothing,
so many posts are waiting for them to be answered.
We can't wait the whole month just looking for a help in graphics card.
Either the thread is being ignored or no one is a graphics guru here.
Is that so???????????
