I enquired this co. Named shree sagarmatha they told me its not good to go for this card now coz its too expensive ....will be available next month with them for 7900GTX PCI-e 512MB/256BIT DDR3 ----- 31500/-.... Its cool price but cannot judge the quality .... Brand forsa they tell .... I went to forsa website and had a look around ...seems a popular brand in some of the countries ...europe, usa and canada .... u can see there link for their distribution must be doing well ...
http://www.geniman.com.hk/contact.htm
But again i feel should go for a brand that is popular like XFX or leadtek ...but they are expensive selling for around 38k ..... its your go now ...


1900XT not that popular ... and dont know much ...

Hi guys i'm planning to buy a GeForce 6600 GT 128mb next month i wanted to know whether the card is compatible with Intel 865GBF mobo with 8x support.
Also i have a 350W SMPS will that be enough

U could certainly use the xfx, leadtek or any brand 6600gt 128MB AGP 8X. But remember that the AGP version need a seperate molex power connector for the card to perform efficiently.
So I would suggest that u get a minimum 400W good branded SMPS.
I know that nvidia has specified minimum 350W PSU for 6600gt but still would suggest for a 400W SMPS.

[edgetec]

thanx guys, i'll buy only if it is within 8k

[anandrules]

I am getting both ASUS GeForce 6600(non gt) and Sapphire Radeon X1600 pro(agp 8x) for arnd Rs.5000/-.....which one shld i opt for?? I need it to play games like cod2, bf2, hl2, quake4, etc. Which 1 would b better??

[deathvirus_me]

X1600 Pro ... it'll be definitely better than the 6600 ... quite comparable to the 6600GT ...

Yupp .. no probs ...

Also .. i ran a 6600GT on a 300W frontech psu (very old) with no probs at all ...

[go_gamez]

my current system cofiguration is as follows :

P4 2.4 ghz 1 mb L2 cache (533 mhz bus )
HIS mobo 845 GVM-L with a 8x AGP slot.
XFX GeFORCE MX 4000 ,(256 bit 128 mb DDR)
512 mb Dynet DDR ram
80 gb seagate harddisk
double layer dvd writer (sony)
etc. etc

As u can see i have a GeFORCE MX 4000 which almost runs well,for some of the latest games (like most wanted),they r satisfactory ...but do not give that performance i am lookin for..

1)So i want to buy a new AGP card from XFX of 256 mb DDR and 256 -bit graphics core..
my budget is pretty low around 3.5-4 k

i have heard of theXFX 5200 and 5700 if not mistaken one of them is for 3.5k
plzz (if possible plzz quote the latest prices for both)tell me which graphics card will do according to my budget and also it shud be a 256 mb ddr with 256 bit graphics core.. ..


2)also tell me current price of the MX 4000 i own so that i can sell it half rate ....
#please note the prices should be acoording to the latest lamington road prices,mumbai!!

thanx in advance...

[MysticHalo]

Your demands are too much considering the money u r willing to shell out. 256 MB, 256 bit card for 4k....
IMO, X800 GTO and 7800GS are the only card that offer both...but cost???

[anandrules]

hmm so the x1600 pro is good...can neone tell me the price of 6600GT (lamington rd mumbai) so tht i can compare its price wid tht of x1600pro

[edgetec]

how to connect GeForce 6600 GT molex to SMPS cord. I mean.. which side of the wire shud it be fitted with the card.

I have a 300W Kobian SMPS unit. It has got 3 wires attatched to molex ( Red(5V), Black , Yellow ) . I heard that 6600GT needs a 12V power supply so which wire shud i connect

Have a look @ my power cord

That pic dosent looks to me like a power cord !!!
And there should be a 4-pin female plug on your GFX card if it needs an extra power supply, look for it and insert a power cord originating from your SMPS into it !!!!!!

dude the 6200 is just not good enuff for todays games( like the ones u have mentioned). I think the 6600 256mb will b a much better choice and if u dont have ne budget constraints the 6600GT is ur best option. Also u may consider the x1600 pro. If u have ne relatives in the us, tell them to buy u one of these for u. I am buying a x1600 pro frm there.
talking of x1600pro, will a 300W power supply suffice? If not, is there neway to equip it with another separate power cord?

[go_gamez]

can any one plzz tell me the price of the following graphic cards(cheapest in lamington road,mumbai )
ALL AGP BASED CARDS

1>XFX GeForce fx 5200 256 mb (256 bit graphics core)
2>XFX GeForce FX 5700 256 mb (256 bit graphics core)

will the above to run the latest games (not with high performance but atleast good )
and i hope these two perform better than my current xfx MX 4000 128 mb (256 bit graphics core)

[rachitboom2]

Hey, thanks anandrules,

Well dude both of these can easily outperform your current XFX MX 4000 128MB and as far as 5200 is concerned it will not be able to play any of the latest games at more than 800*600 Res. with GFX details set at low, well 5700 might be able to play them at medium GFX details but not more that that !!!

And also that these GFX cards wont be future proof, and u wont be able to play even some current games like F.E.A.R !!!

Dude ... all the card have 256 bit core now ... the one thing that matter a lot is the mem. interface ... 128 bit should be the least to go for ..

Also .. don't get any FX card now .. those ae pretty much bottlenecked at the time of purchase itself ... get a 6600 128 MB ...
