Are yaar you could have read through the earlier posts too
Anyways the primary question is how cheap?????
The least i would say like always is the XFX GEforce FX5200 with 128MB VRam @2.5k Atleast or less depending on your location
This card can Handle Doom 3 And other Games fair enough settings

Ok Well if you happen to be in Mumbai And possibly in Borivli by any chance then stroll off to a Pheripheral shop called "Bitsy Electronics" this one's selling the FX5200 128MB Card for 2.5k and the 256MB Version for 4.5k (The Last time i checked on i.e.) or u can gladly go to the Good ol lamington Road in Mumbai and Ask for what price this card is retailing for and am sure u can get it for atleast 2k

[blade_runner]

Yup wot allwyn said ! U can get the fx5200 easily for 2.3k @ lamington road ! The local sellers bloat prices for their margins ! God save you if you live in a remote place.

Hi Guys,

Being waiting for a while for the new financial yr to begin. As its already 6th april. I am posting my Q here.

Can anyone post the present price for these 2 cards:

ATI Radeon 9600 PRO 256MB
&
ATI Radeon 9600 XT 256MB

Kindly quote the price with the company make(ati,msi,gigabyte,powercolor,club3d...) and bundled cds and cables.

If anyone can post sales addresses with contact nos. - greatly appreciated.

Need it to run on Intel 850GB mobo with 4X AGP support using WIN98SE and WINXP PRO_SP2 - so i guess the original ATI cards will not work since it only allows winxp and win2000.

Hope to get some quick replies.

cheers

The pro is arnd 7.2k and the XT is supposed to be arnd 9.8k sumthng. If oyu plan to go for the XT i'd suggest that you go for the 6600GT which costs 2k more than the XT but is almost twice as fast.

May be now they should start inventing some good budget range cards other than Geforce Fx5200.So the choice is obvious for you as well as this is the only card which can fit your budget for now atleast
Btw Graphics card as such will not have much effect on the Movie Clarity pattern as its mainly dependent on the way in which it has been encoded from the source.Say if you have a Pirated VCD and seems blurrish in nature than a graphic card upgrade aint gonna make it an original VCD viewing experience So the Main purpose to benhmark your GFx card will be to obviously to Play Games

@supersaiyan.....A 6800Gt for 15k....Lol Even a Second hand wont retail for that low i guess.Check it out again and it must surely be the 6600gt probably they were talkin about.

The 6800GT is available with 128Mb ddr memory, but only with Asus. Actually its a hybrid with the 6800GT core on a 6800PCB since it has the 16 pipes and 6 vertex pipes but is clocked @ 350/700 rather than 350/1000. But gainward doesnt have such a souped up 6800GT, the prices that might have been quoted to you might very well be of the 6800NU but i'll say that you call mediatech back again and confirm this. Since internationally the 6800NU costs arnd 12-13k, and with the recent reduction of prices it might very well be the 6800NU but definitely not the 6800GT.

[blade_runner]

@siddhesh: Get the XFX6600GT for 11.3k @ lammmy ! If you want quality components get a gigabyte 6600GT for 13k.

[naveenthomas123]

I have a system with the following config:

AMD Sempron 2400 processor
ASUS A7V400 MX Motherboard(Via/S3G KM400 graphics, AGP 4x/8x)
256MB DDR

Can you suggest a good 128 MB graphics card which is perfectly compatible with the above configuration, and costs less than Rs.5000. I want the best option with the above budget limit.

Thanks,
Naveen.

[Ethan_Hunt]

@naveenthomas123.....The Best card for you would be Powercolor Ati Radeon 9550 which must be costing around 4.5k or a lil more.Below that would be Radeon 9200SE and Geforce FX52000 which would be costing around 2.5k

[monty701]

[Sourabh]

[pradeep_chauhan]

Guys
please help me get a second hand graphics card low end entry level. Please. Its for a P3 system now using a riva tnt 2 32 MB.
thanks.

[monty701]

i have heard ati radeon 9500 pro outperforms ati radeon 9600 pro due to more no. of pixel pipelines?

[Ethan_Hunt]

@pradeep....whats the Minimum u can spend for the Second hand card and whats the Minimum GPU Or Vram You require????

@monty701.....well yes its true that the 9500pro has a fair advantage above the 9600pro in case of Benchmarks and Pixel Piplines count (8 PP in 9500pro and 4 PP in 9600pro) but 9600pro also has reduced the transistor count to half of 9500pro generating less heat for the card.The Advantage is that it(9600pro) is a good overclocker compared to 9500pro and also is marginally priced.
Overall the 9600Pro is a fair card and is more easily found out here compared to 9500pro.So the fact is,yes the 9500pro does beat 9600pro in terms of Performance

[pradeep_chauhan]

Anything better than the riva tnt 2 32 Mb that i have now will do. The thing is new Nvidia linux drivers are not working with this old card thus the hunt I am not a game guy just want to free system resources for computation purpose.
