GRAPHICS CARDS AND THE PRICES - Page 2

I agree with you bytie boy. Spending 12 grands on a GeForce FX is quite foolish, even if it is the GeForce FX 5700 Ultra. Your best bet for a current generation card would be the Radeon 9600 XT (mainstream) and the Radeon 9800 XT (high end). But if you hang on for 2 or 3 months, you can lay your hands on the R420 or the NV40.

But then it would be damn costly because they'll be new entrants & as we all know they cost a fortune when fresh out of the box.

I agree with you Zombie, the actual wait time for NV40 or R420 would be more like 6-7 months from now in-order for them to come down to a reasonable price. The current generation of High-End Graphics cards can satisfy your needs for years to come...

An ATi Radeon 9800 XT or a GeForce 4 FX 5950 are the best available cards as far as I know, but they cost a whopping 30k-35k approx.

A good buy would be the ATi Radeon 9800 Pro (128MB) which offers virtually the same performance (as long as you stick to under 1600x1200) and can be yours for 20k-25k (depending on where you look), a pretty good tradeoff IMHO.

Besides, if you do decide to wait for the next generation of cards, you can snap up the current high-end cards at subsidised prices, since their elder siblings will get their price down.

Just my Rs.2

lol

If you're an enthusiast/Hardcore gamer, where price is no bar, its well worth it...

For Example, My ATi Radeon 9800 Pro (128), in Quake 3 with all setting to Highest, FSAA, Anisotropic Filtering, 32-bit textures, 1024x768, etc. gave me a whopping 250 fps (sound off)!

Q3A is a pretty old game though... but this baby would probably be able to Handle next generation titles such as Doom 3 and Half-Life 2 when they come out at settings displaying their highest graphical splendour...

Which reminds me... when buying a new card (and planning to play next-generation titles even if you're not an enthusiast), make sure it is Direct X 9.0 compatible... many Graphics card are available for as low as Rs. 2.5k to 3k, but one should invest about Rs.8k for a GeForce based card which is DX 9.0 compatible... it'll ensure that you won't have to upgrade your graphics card too soon.
