[supersaiyan]

I am planning to buy a new midrange card. i have my sight on 2 cards-the 7600gt and the x1800gto. now the thing is that the x1800gto has a 256bit memory as compared to the 7600gt but its priced a little higher. although it performs a little less than the 7600gt in opengl games like doom3 but i have seen that even in those games the difference isn't much. plus i saw on hardocp that the x1800gto expericences a lesser drop in fps as compared to the 7600gt when playing at higher resolutions. and it performs better than the 7600gt in all the other benchamarks.the only drawback is that it is priced slightly more than the 7600gt but the bundle is very good especially sapphire's. but still i am a little confused . so pls help me out! the x1800gto or the 7600gt.

[drvarunmehta]

The X1800GTO is better than the 7600GT in almost all games. If the difference isn't much then take the X1800GTO.

[deathvirus_me]

X1800GTO .... plus it does HDr and AA together ....

[hell_raiser2025]

my PC config is

AMD Athlon 64 2800+ 749 pin
Tul RS 480 MB
Seagate Barracuda 80 GB SATA 7200 rpm
1 GB RAM @ 400 Mhz
Sony DVD Rom
Sony CD RW
350 W PSU

i have recently purchased XFX GeForce 6800 XTreme 256MB DDR3 XXX edition video card and i want to know whether 350 W PSU is enough or do i need more power to power the video card ?
please reply soon.

thanks in advance

[john_the_ultimate]

@hell_raiser2025

I would suggest that you use atleast 450W PSU from ANTEC, POWERSAFE, VIP etc. While 350W is the minimum requirement but its still better to have a higher rated PSU than the minimum suggested.

[supersaiyan]

400W would be enough

[blackleopard92]

exactly which cable for power supply I have to look for before buying 6600?
I have a 450W supply, but its a local one, came preinstalled with cabinet.

[john_the_ultimate]

I don't think that a 6600 requires extra power cable but for 6600gt AGP the 4-pin molex cable is required. But for pci-e 6600gt the extra cable is not required as the pci-e itself is able to supply the required current.

[sagar_coolx]

no pci-e 6600 requres 4-pin molex power connector. i have 128mb 6600 by xfx.
btw,is it true that u get 6600 256mb@2950 rs or is it 6200?
then how much does 6200 cost?1500?

Now how is that possible, I have Leadtek 6600gt 128MB DDR3 PCI-E card and it doesn't require a molex connector so how come ur 6600 non-gt requires it. Maybe it is required for AGP version(though haven't seen one).

See this XFX 6600 DDR2 pci-e here, even it doesn't require an extra molex connector: http://www.penstarsys.com/reviews/vi...6600ddr2_2.htm

No offence but correct me if I am wrong.

Don't waste your money on Geforce 6200, while it is slightly better than the onboard graphics but you would be better off with at least 6600. Look for 6600 @2950/- deal or just wait for now and buy 7300GT when it comes.

All this is of course assuming that you r on shoe-string budget, if not then go for Geforce 7600GS or 7600GT.

[edgetec]

u would be certainly better off with a gigabyte turbo 7300gt. check out the exact model number on gigabyte's website. for a review go to http://www.legionhardware.com/document.php?id=562&p=10. if u need the dealer's number in delhi pm me.

pixel shaders...

can any 1 plz suggest me a good card under or around 3000kss max.

needed help

thanx

angel

[blackleopard92]

it's impossible to play latest games on a PIII.
u need atleast AMD 3000+ or something equivalent(like P4 2.8Ghz, 3.2Ghz) to play games.

Adding a gfx card to ur system is of no use since it is 4X..
The processor and ram are also underpowered...
So to be able to play the latest games u need a 3000+ (or above) mobo with a AGP 8X or PCIe slot and a 6600 GT

[The Day Walker!]

hey bros i know i need 2 updrade 2 play good,,,

but i need a timebeing solution,,,in order not 2 invest much on my pc.

so that i can run 6-8 months,,,,

thanx

angel

[ashfame]

budget <10k

processor will also be a prob even if u change ur mobo.
todays games demands processing power >1ghz atleast & >2.66 is recommended.
even ur ram is sd.
sorry dude but u can't hav a timebeing soln for this.

hey, i have Geforce4 MX 4000 GPU. How do i disable the FSAA mode

[Geforce]

Goto desktop->rightclick->properties->settings->advanced->click on Geforce4 MX tab -> performance & quality settings on the left menu -> set antialiasing settings to off. Also uncheck Application-controlled settings in this.

I have assumed you have latest Forceware driver installed.

6800gt & 6800gs with 7600gs & 7600gt

[pantheratigris]

I have a problem with my Intel onboard graphics Intel(R) 82945G Express Chipset family display adapter. On Intels website it is said that the chip is a GMA 950 and that it supports Pixel Shader2.0 and Vertex Shader.
Inspite of this all the games that I try to run give the error that Pixel Shader and Vertex Shader support was not detected?
How can this be?

[pantheratigris]

ALso how do I run games that need Hardwware Transform & Lighting through the CPU instead of the graphics adapter since it does not support HT&L.
