@:Goobimama:Hw much did the Dell 24" cost u man?

[Kniwor]

i have a 2.8 ht with D865 mobo and 512mb ram.mobo supports only agp i ve decided to buy a good card for less than 15000.please suggest the best card.
or and this is a big or should i upgrade to a different mother board and processor.i am confused coz i have heard that Dx 10 is abou to come out.Then all this will go worthless.please help me out guys

actually both nVidia and ATI are scheduled to release new cores soon, and so the existing cards might seem much less productive, u might wanna get them then.

[akshayt]

I would say do a complete overhaul 9 months down the line to quad core. Just now make do with a 6600GT second hand provided you are not a hardcore enthusiast gamer.

[goobimama]

costs 42k for the dell 2407wfp. It comes with a 5 year warranty so I think its a pretty sweet deal...

[sabret00the]

@Goobimama: That monitor is now 40 Grands.Its wonderful.We were trained on it a couple of months back. http://www1.ap.dell.com/content/prod...=in&l=en&s=bsd

Hey videocard gurus.Need u to tell me the order of preference of the video card manufacturers like XFX,evga,bfg etc. Im ordering a 7900GT from USA on the 15th this mnth and i wanna know which one is the best 7900GT card.Pls post ur replies soon.Thanks.

[siriusb]

^Get the evga's latest revision. I don't think you can apply for warranty with this company, but, hopefully, you won't have to in the first place. Next in line would be xfx, leadtek, bfg.
If you can, try getting a x1800xt/x1900xt instead of the 7900gt.

[goobimama]

@sabreth: The dell mon still costs 42k. That price is excluding taxes which come up to about 2.5k....

[amigoatul]

Hello Graphics gurus,
Please let me know HOW I can figure out the NVidia equivalent ATI cards?
For example:
What is the equivalent of NVidia GeForce 7600GS in ATI?
or
NVidia GeForce 7600GT in ATI?

Thanks in advance for all your answers.

u can visit www.gpureview.com and go to browse cards section and compare the core clock and memory clock of various cards

u can also compare performances of various cards

[drvarunmehta]

Geforce 7600GS = Radeon X1600XT
Geforce 7600GT = Radeon X1800GTO (here the Radeon is a little better)

DUDE......its really difficult..to find a PCI based GFX card...and even if u fnd one..wont play a single latest...forget latest..not even many..of the older games !!

[drvarunmehta]

You have to go in for a complete upgrade. Even the best PCI card available won't help much.

[just4soft]

great!!! then suggest me the upgrades i have to make

[john_the_ultimate]

Okie people................I want to upgrade from my existing 6600gt and budget being around 20K. So whats the best I can get? My mobo is A8N-E. Or do u suggest that I wait for the DX10 card to hit the market.

[deathvirus_me]

get a 7900GT ... best under 20k's i think ... if u wait a bit , u might get a 7900GS for a bit less , plus some more things

[drvarunmehta]

great!!! then suggest me the upgrades i have to make

We need your budget for that.

[dOm1naTOr]

I think 6600GT can do the job at least until FG8 is released[games like crysis will be using SH4 found in DX10 cards]. So wait some 5~8 months nd make that 20 k to some 25 or even 30k nd when GF8 is released u will get a top notch card for the price.

Your motherboard does not have the required AGP or PCI-Express slot for you to be able to add a graphics card.

It's a brand new card and might take a while till it's widely available.

[goobimama]

Here's something: I have one guy who wants to sell a GeForce 7800GTX 256 MB for 15k. It is a box packed piece but I don't think I'll get any warranty (from HonKong). Is it a good offer? Or should I get a 7900GT (I know, my finances are suddenly high enough for this nonsense).
