Dude this is a public forum, ppl are here to help each other out. Nobody is getting paid for it. So unless you are patient enuf noone's gonna help you out.

For your query:
The plain 6600 or the non-gt is a pci-e variant only not agp here. Still if you want the prices it's arnd 7.5k-8k. Like i said earlier stay away from the Fx series. Go for the 6600GT or 9800pro whichever is your preference. Although i'd suggest to go for the 6600GT.

[rahul_becks23]

i wana buy a graphics card around 8000 bucks.
i think ati radeon 9600 XT is the best av. for this price range.
but i wanna know which is the best brand to buy-Powercolor,Gigabyte,or.....
Pl. reply soon

[Sourabh]

buy the cheapest one

performance isnt much of a different between brands

[rahul_becks23]

but u can c that in digit-feb.-graphics cards reviews.
btw. the powercolor n gigabyte i think so

[Sourabh]

dude if u trust wht ppl say, then blive me that digit revews nowadays are cr@p

u cant even bet that u have five fingers on one hand with DI9IT reviews past few months

get any 9600XT available in the Indian market

all are good enuf

if u can arrange for a lil more get the XFX 6600GT which is around 11.5k when last heard.. yea the price has fallen a lil bit

[rahul_becks23]

what about 9800 non-pro
can i get it ar. 9000 in chd.

[Sourabh]

are u low on budget ??

can u arrange for the xtra 3.5k for a 6600GT

its worth it, u wod get almost twice wht u r buying now

think abt it

hi,
i've recently upgraded my pc with following hardware: P-4 3.2 GHz, Gigabyte 81915G Duo Mobo, 512 Mb ddr ram (hynix). I wud like to to know about a Pci-xpress based GFX card. Performance should be OK, but price must be low below 6K.

Cards below 6k in the pci-e market are not worth it. The 6200TC is still not available which shud cost 4.5k but the performance shud be crap. The x600 is available in your budget range but even that isn't future proof. The best you cud do is the 6600 non gt which shud cost arnd 7-7.5k.

Man I have this query about the XFX 570le. Its available in two flavours - 128 MB & the 256 MB. I don't know whether both of them are 128 bit or not. Techtree says that 128 MB version comes with 64 bit mem , whereas, 256 MB version comes with 128 mem. Whats the truth people. Someone help me out. The XFX website is silent on this matter.

[abhi_shake]

[Sourabh]

well since u knw so much and are already aware of the settings, wht are u worried of?

also all the games u mentioned can play the game at medium settings with the eyecandy turned on

well u wod have to do this by trial and error and find out wht suits u and ur config abt the AA/AF levels

best of luck

[ashu888ashu888]

Hey thanx SOURABH,well ok i will try out the different configurations and see wat suits best for my PC.

[darmstad]

Hi guys....its so wonderful to read all ur forums ....for a novice like me ..its very helpful indeed....am intrested in buyin a VGA+TV TUNER CARD.... i have hrd a lot the ati all in wonder cards...am intredted in buyin the ati all in wonder 9600 ..is it available in india?...am from chennai...wht is the price of it..?...can u help me guys ???

[Sourabh]

well i guess the AIW are not readily available in Indian market

some while back i read somewhere that a 9600 AIW card costs abt 11k

it does seem to be a feasible solution that to buy a separate gfx card and tv tuner card and its cheaper too

a 9600 pro is a good card and wod cost u abt 7.5k

a good tv-tuner card, wod cost u around 2k

do mention abt ur system config and budget for these

[manzil_zaheer]

Amm...
I wanted to know that which will give the best video performance:
1) Integrated Intel GMA 900 which comes with Intel Chipset 915G.
Or
2) AGP 8x Card with 64 MB Video RAM
Or
3) PCI Express Card with 64 MB Video Ram

Which will be cheaper between the third and the second option.

[manzil_zaheer]

I want to know about what is digitized and analogue novice?

Can a novice become digitized?

[geek_rohit]

Answer to the first querry.
If you are a casual gamer, who just wants to play games and does not worry about the frame rates than the GMA 900 is a good solution. Ofcourse the graphics cards do help as they offer much better performance like T&L, Shaders, etc.

As for the second question. These are the ranks of the user and increase as the no of post increase. But that does not mean that you spam and increase your post count to increase your rank.

[ashu888ashu888]

Hey thanx Rohit,wellnow i know the difference between an ANALOGUE and a DIGITIZED novice and hey dude plz be rest assured that there will be no SPAM replies 'atleast from my side"

cheers n peace.

The 9800 pro is a better card than the 6200. 6600GT from nVidia is a better card than the 9800 pro.
