Hi!
I have a plan to buy graphics card 7300GT 512mb DDR2 memory. How is this performance (Games,Apps)...........

[samanvya_ad]

Well , 8600GT's are just around the corner .. and should be priced around 12k's .. and performing like the 7900GS .. so i'd say - WAIT ..

thanks but i guess they wont be priced at around 12k because when 6600Gt or 7600GT etc were launched they were way higher than 12k...

secondly if we get shipped a card from US then will it work here with us(its just a doubt cos many US DVDs dont work on Indian Players) because i ahve a friend going to US and i have told him to get one 512 MB 7900GS XFX extreme which is priced at 199$ there..... so thats pretty cheap......

instead of getting 7300 GT with 512 MB try ur hands on something like 7600GS with 256 MB .... price difference will not be much but performance difference will be much....

Well , they should be priced around 150 USD .. so that pretty much comes to something around 12k's ...

[samanvya_ad]

i tried Vista RC1 on my comp.... n almost all new games...
they run fine on 6600 GT...

we cant just say that a newer tech is going to come so wait... that way i will never ever be able to buy something...
and as far as i think getting something shipped from US is difficult for normal ppl....
n when 6600GT n 7600 GT were launched they were sub 250$ cards not 150$ cards...

n pls tell if i get a card shipped then will it work fine here in India and what abt the warranty....
cos i m nt that rich and i save my pocket money to buy tech stuff....
so cant risk my money ...
PLease

I want to buy a new graphics card but my mobo supports only agp cards. can someone post the price of all agp cards from nvidia and ati in Rupees. it will be very useful. thanks

[goobimama]

I've got a 7900GT but no power connector. Can someone please arrange for one and charge me hell for it?

[rahul_becks23]

The 8600GTS will be priced betweed 15K and 20K when it comes out but after 2 or 3 months , it will go down to around 15K or maybe evn less..........and this is the best sol. we can get.

[deathvirus_me]

I don't think they have any intentions of a 8800GT .. rather a 320 MB 8800GTS ...

I recently purchased a zebronics nvidia 6200 agp 256 mb card but since then my computer has started restarting after an interval of 2-3 hours during normal web usage and not gaming. I have also heard after purchasing this card that the 6200 overheats however mine shows a temperature of 48 and the shutdown threshold of 145 is this causing the problem.My psu is rated at 300 w and is maufactured by some adcom. Surprisingly the nvidia drivers which were provided with the card were not xp sp2 compliant.So I installed the 93.71 version of the nvidia drivers provided alongwith the Dec 2006 cd of digit.The following is a screenshot of the windows error message I get.

Hello, Newbie here,
I hope I am doing this right... I have ASRock P4VM800 Motherboard with an intergrated graphics (Chipset VIA S3G Unichrome Pro IGP) Intel P4 CPU and 1 Gb Memory.

I wanted to get ready for "Microsoft Vista" So I got this board from Ebay.
: inno3D FX-5500-AGP-DVI-TV-256MB.

I have downloaded and updated my chipset from Via with both hyperion and 4 in 1, plus I have tried disabling the chipset from the device manager. I then put in the graphics card and boot up. It boots up but I get a completely blank screen! It is as if the AGP card has stopped all signals to the monitor.
I have also tried with both types of updated chipsets all to no avail.
What I would really like please is some advice on how to disable my onboard grahics and enabling my graphics card to work. Any help would be gratefully appreciated! Thank you for reading this. Sincerely, Mike T

[raskal00]

Its a decent card with good capabilities
It did fine on my friends comp (7300GT 256MB) running FEAR in 1024X768 with little tweaking on the advanced tab

Its a nice card but if u want a little more bang for buck , i suggest u get 7600 GS


Well if u want a quick and cheap fix till the 8 series arrives, this is the card to go for

[soumya]

i have a problem with my graphics card (fx 5200)...after running for abt 5 mins itz getting too hot and the display is going blank.

[rahul_becks23]

hey , try to get some heat off ur graphics card by using a blow dryer or u can try to underclock it if its pissing u off ................ alright .

[mayurpam]

how to underclock it dude giveme some help Rahul beck23

[rahul_becks23]

get RivaTuner from Guru3d and then -
Goto- Custumize - Overclocking ............ Enable it ........... and then set the CORE and MEMORY clock to lower than default settings .............. if u havent got it , then i suggest u try googling it.......... u'll find everything .
Cheers.

[samrulez]

beware, sometimes underclocking may damage your card..

[rahul_becks23]

hehe

[keith_j_snyder2]

Yeah SAM is right,underclocking may be harmful & besides that underclocking also leads to extra power consumption...sounds funny,right?But its true.Just keep it to stock & clean all the dust off & keep it at good airflow.

[deathvirus_me]

Well , not always .. depends on how much u underclock .. a friend of mine had to underclock his 7900GTX to stop the artifacting problems ... from 670/1700 to 650/1600 ...

[samrulez]

hehe

LOL, get this..

A gfx card runs at a specific core Voltage and mem voltage..at stock clocks...If you throttle down the clocks the voltage remains the same thus causing damage..
I lost my memory module 'bcoz of the same reason..

[mdnath]

I got a nVidia 5200 8x @ 1.5V rating and using Intel 845GBV motherboard with 2GHz processor & DDR 266Mhz 640MB RAM.
The AGP card is only running at 4x speed.
I want to upgrade my motherboard and add more RAM keeping my graphics card and processor same.
Is there a motherboard from any brand that will give 8x support for my AGP card with other things remaining the same?

Hurry pl coz I must spent the mony quick or itz gone.

[gxsaurav]

^^^^^ you will not find any performance gain from your card if u go with AGP 8X over AGP4X. it's not worth it, stick to what u have

[duron111]

i have AMD Athlon™ 64 3200+
1gb DDR ram
XFXgeforce 6600 256 MB (pci )
MSI RS482 mother board ....
are the new geforce 8800GTX or geforce 8800gts compatible with my motherboard ?????

[dOm1naTOr]

@duron111
yes all PCIE cards cab be put on ur system, but u can't get the full perfomance out of it with ur system. According to ur current system config a 7600GT or new 8600 at max is enough.
8600 GS nd GT would be available in 3~4 months nd if u can wait go for it or settle for 7600GT or 7900GS.
