Posted January 8th, 2009 byCategories: straightguysca.com
well is there any g-card in the range of 5000 bucks with 128 ram and which can play doom !!! and other upcoming games
my budget is 13k ,AGP card with 256mb memory
Neither. Instead go for the 5700 Ultra, atleast. Don't even think of the 5700LE. Its a flop. Also the 5200 is poor in performance. But if you are willing to wait I would suggest to wait for sometime, save the bucks, and then go for the 6600GT. Hopefully the prices should come down.
Hey is that true?? that COMPUTER HARDWARE waers out?? Well i know that GAMES WEAR OUT but is it true for H/W also?? how?? and wat components wear out?? plz tell me dudes....
Well i am also an avid gamer and spend almost 5-6 hrs daily playing games on my P-4, 2.0Ghz PC with an nVIDIA Ge force FX 5200 256 MB DDR RAM GRAPHICS CARD with 40 GB HARD DISK SPACE and 256 MB DDR RAM with 2000 watts MERCURY 2.1 speakers. :wink: :wink:
thanx cheers n peace..... :):P
my budget is 13k ,AGP card with 256mb memory
128Mb will suffice unless you are playing on insane resolutions like 1600*1200 in which case a sub 13k card wont do good in any case. At 13k go for the 6600GT, best priceperformance ratio. The 256Mb versions shud be abit costly @ 15-16k; but those are not worth it imho.
but exams start next month, and i havent started yet
any recomendations,
i am thinking of going for 6600gt , this will be my first gfx card. so i have no experiance,
will i be able to limit gaming to 1 - 2 hrs a day ?
or it is irresitable ?
how urs went ?
cmon guys
plz hurry
any brands from Radeon???
It is either PCI Express or AGP8X.
btw which one is better in terms of performanee...... which one should one prefer keeping the future in mind........
ne wayz best of luck 4 ur card n ur examz ( I'll b suttin 4 the JEE 2 , n remember u tellin somevere that u were also sittin 4 the same ) :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
My order of preference-
Asus,BFG,Evga,Leadtek,Gainward,XFX,Gigabyte,MSI... .
c 4 urself
m not frm xfx or somethin , that would campaign against gainward
tis vot i read n thought bout sharin with the guys on the forum . thats it , nothin more , nothin less

Can a novice become digitized?
my budget is 13k ,AGP card with 256mb memory
The Radeon 9550 is better than the FX 5200.
nVIDIA Ge force FX 5200 256mb DDR RAM or,
nVIDIA Ge FORCE FX 5700 ???
I hv the 5200 256 mb card. wat money will i get if i sell it.i bought the card for Rs.6500/-
thanx bye..
http://www.freespaces.com/techlabs/BIOS/25.jpg
Yupp it looks cool and sounds like a turbo jet
can u arrange for the xtra 3.5k for a 6600GT
its worth it, u wod get almost twice wht u r buying now
think abt it
i think ati radeon 9600 XT is the best av. for this price range.
but i wanna know which is the best brand to buy-Powercolor,Gigabyte,or.....
Pl. reply soon
Nope the 9800SE is far far better than the 9550. Also beware since the 9550 also has a SE version.
@wizrulz: A resonable good card wud be the 6600 for 7-7.5k. Below that there are the 5XXX series acrds frm Nvidia and the x600 and x300 frm ATi both which dont deserve the price tag on them. There is also a 6200TC but even thats not worth it.
@suave: He has pcie mobo, and u r suggesting him a agp based card :P
@allwyn: The Ti series is definitely better than the fx5200, yeah better than even the 128bit one. Although 5200 is dx9 complaint, its useless since it lacks the firepower to run dx9 games smoothly.
XFX Geforce 5900 UltraGT better or
ASUS Geforce 5900 UltraGT better or
Gegabyte Geforce 5900 UltraGT better?
I mean ultra VS ultra and GT VS GT and normal VS normal.
also Pls. do tell me the prices of all these Cards ?
Thanks !!!
i myself own a 6600gt(gainward) and it rocks in doom3. no wonder its called the doom 3 card.
Thanks for your replies. Performance wise 9800XT might have slight edge but technology wise 6600GT is better. 9800 XT is for 13-14 k not 16-17 k. It's called a doom3 card because nvdia tied up with doom 3 makers while preparing their 6xxx series. But the Ati always do well in AA and AF department. Tough choice to make. Follow the link.
http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/video/display/ati-radeon-x700-games.html
i dunno y but after seeing leadtek ads in the mags i feel its the worst of brands :P
It's a pretty good brand. Not great but it's good. Atleast not the worst of brands.
it has got 256mb DDRII (clocked 950mhz) and 2 GPUs on a single board (each clocked 475 Mhz) with a 128-bit memory controller.
ne thing at 2.5k is GOOD , unless its broken
Well I have it in my hands right now for trial only. it runs the games nicely with the new version of reactor driver (without any sacrifice in image quality as was the case with earlier drivers). FSAA has increased from 4x to 8x (AF supported is now 16x). gives nice FPS in all games except it makes a lot of noise.
FANDOOO bidu . me thinkz u wanna keep this 1 . how bout some noise cancellation ear plugz :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
i myself own a 6600gt(gainward) and it rocks in doom3. no wonder its called the doom 3 card.
radeon 9550 is tad better then fx 5200...i wud suggest u radeon 9550...
ENjoy...
hi
which cos do u suggest if its radeon chipset.i hate XFX.so suggest some other names..
The 9550 is available for 5.5k i guess which shud be ideal for you. Also Ati is lowering the price on its 9600pro card to 90$ which comes to arnd 4k so i think you shud wait it out for a while.
and well ya till a certain extent its true that Radeon is really better than FX5200 in terms of performance and VFM,Kinda like AMD VS intel battle but remember Geforce Does have a little bit of edge over Radeon when it comes to The 6-Series of Nvidia cards :wink:
radeon 9550 is tad better then fx 5200...i wud suggest u radeon 9550...
ENjoy...
just 25 mhz
u gotta be kiddin !!
arent u ??
:?
my birthday coming next month...and i am thinking of selling my geforce fx 5200 for abt 2.5 k and buy a new one for abt 4.5-5 k i.e 2.5 which i get by selling this + 2.5-3 from my own pocket which i will get for my b'day..:D
so which one should i go for??
radeon 9550 gamer edition or radeon 9600 pro?
will both be available within by price within a month or so?
which gpu is better for directx 9.0b gaming?fx5200 256 mb ram 128bit or radeon9550 128mb ram 64 bit[/b]
dude y r u posting the same things in bigger fonts at so many places
wht u are doing is another word for 'SPAM'
i have reported ur threads
@aravind
first mention for wht interface are u looking for these cards pci-e or AGP
6200 pci-e has 2 variants plain 6200 and 6600 Turbo Cache
the are not yet available in AGP form
a 6600GT wod cost u abt 12.5k
yea the price of plain 6600 is wht u have got around 8-9k
well if u are low on budget then only buy a bottle-neck 6200
as for 5900/9800 these are not chipsets but GPUs
these can out-perform the 6200 anytime anyplace anywhere
as i said before take a look at http://graphics.tomshardware.com/graphic/20041004/vga_charts-02.html , 4 ALL UR PERFORMANCE RELATED QUERIES , the comparo ROX
5700 (128) spanks 5200(256) ne time , not much adv due 2 the extra 128 mb in the 5200 , riftz still there . n 4 the prices its the best deal u get locally , no use comparin nehru place (Delhi ) prices with those somevere south . have often heard people complain bout the higher prices there
n wot was that , they r gud OCers !!!
no. they were overclocked out of the factory, which meant that the amount of 'free' overclocking u got was less because they were already pushing that much harder.
basically, u pay for their pre-overclocking the board, and overclocking is good value because it's supposed to be free
they had weird names
n i read a hexus review of 1 of there silly 6800 Ultra with watercooling for $800
IT OVERCLOCKED 25mhz ON CORE N MEMORY
:D Well there was never an argument abt the price and availability ;)
Thanx
:arrow: :!: Well i don't think i845GL chipset motherboard even has an AGP slot. It only support onboard grafix.
:arrow: Well proxnet are you sure you have an AGP slot. Just open the cabinet and try the locate a brown slot just above all the white PCI slots and nearer to CPU or RAM.
PS: A very small brown slot at the bottom of the motherboard (if its there) is the CNR/ASR slot so don't confuse with it.
If you dont have AGP you can install a PCI graphix card which is highly not recommended and not very feasable.
plz hurry..
tx a bunch..
oh yea my mistake, need to reduce my booze and clubbing sessions.... :P
there aint tht much of a difference
preferably ASUS A8N-SLI. which one is a better deal hercules or Gainward?? A MSI 6800 Ultra was quoted Rs.35.5K, so i select 6800 ultra which one is good Gainward or MSI. MSI has a definite advantage of DOT.
Tell me what is a NV 25 chip set I am trying to get a secondhand graphics card and some one has this MSI card on which the main chip is NV25. What is this is it better than a 5200? If now where does it stand equal to say MX440? Please help. Also how much should it cost ( Claims 128MB RAM)
I wanna buy a graphics card with 128 Mb ram. My budget is around Rs 4000 to 5000. Also recommened a good manufacturer. My motherboard has an AGP 4x slot. I wanna know if an 8x card wud work on this one or not.
check out the quality of the card yourself.Ask if the dealer is ready to give it to you on approval basis
If you are a casual gamer, who just wants to play games and does not worry about the frame rates than the GMA 900 is a good solution. Ofcourse the graphics cards do help as they offer much better performance like T&L, Shaders, etc.
As for the second question. These are the ranks of the user and increase as the no of post increase. But that does not mean that you spam and increase your post count to increase your rank.
I wanted to know that which will give the best video performance:
1) Integrated Intel GMA 900 which comes with Intel Chipset 915G.
Or
2) AGP 8x Card with 64 MB Video RAM
Or
3) PCI Express Card with 64 MB Video Ram
Which will be cheaper between the third and the second option.
Tell me what is a NV 25 chip set I am trying to get a secondhand graphics card and some one has this MSI card on which the main chip is NV25. What is this is it better than a 5200? If now where does it stand equal to say MX440? Please help. Also how much should it cost ( Claims 128MB RAM)
Well Most cards like Geforce Ti 4600,4400,4200 have thier cores based on the Nvidia NV25 Chipset which is also used in Current Xbox Gpu.Its a Direct X8.1,Open Gl and Direct Draw compliant Chipset.Not much if compared to FX5200 (128-bit one) but is anytime better than MX440 :wink:
Tech Specs (Coutesy Xbit labs)
6 rendering pipelines;

An enhanced T&L unit with the second vertex pipeline;
More progressive anti-aliasing algorithms;
0.13micron manufacturing technology
@thegame_rulez...umm i guess a Brand New XFX Geforce Fx 5200 128MB 8X card will be costing almost the same price pal.Anyways I say u better buy the Ati radeon 9600pro to be on a safer side for a while :D
sleepin all this vile . 'corse 6600 gt is much better than a 9600 or 9800 or even a x700xt(me thinkz) . its pitted against x600xt n atleast blows it off with almost 2wice the performance
havnt cm ne x700xt comparo with 6600gt , but untill then ..... NVIDIA ROX

Here there are two 9800 cars:aregular nd an all in one wonder
Shocked Whats the difference
Rolling Eyes Also all in one wonder costs much more than the regular one...WHY??????? Shocked
Thanx
reason: lack of games which can actually exploit this technology....
going for a pci-e card instead of a 8X agp card is ideal but not logical....and the most imp. thing here is that a pci-e card wont give u much of a performance boost then it 8x agp counterpart....going for a pci-e card will give u few more frame rates while playing games but its not the only reason that u shud go for a pci-e card rt. now....
my suggestion to u is to go for a decent 8x agp card rt. now, collect more money and then go for a good pic-e card after a year....
can any one suggest good options of graphics cards of budget arnd 5K-6K?
in this price range the best card available rt. now is ati radeon 9600 SE....and this card can get u through a year and then u can always buy a good pci-e card :)
ENjoy....
It is either PCI Express or AGP8X.
pls quote the prize too
The 9800 pro is a better card than the 6200. 6600GT from nVidia is a better card than the 9800 pro.
Thanx
pci-e .............. NO WAYZ
agp or pci .........yes
thanx...btw i know i couldn't install a pci-e card...i was just givin' examples :o
any info abt it
and how is the MSI 6600GT any direct comparisons between them?
u cant even bet that u have five fingers on one hand with DI9IT reviews past few months
get any 9600XT available in the Indian market
all are good enuf
if u can arrange for a lil more get the XFX 6600GT which is around 11.5k when last heard.. yea the price has fallen a lil bit
it has got 256mb DDRII (clocked 950mhz) and 2 GPUs on a single board (each clocked 475 Mhz) with a 128-bit memory controller.
ne thing at 2.5k is GOOD , unless its broken
Well I have it in my hands right now for trial only. it runs the games nicely with the new version of reactor driver (without any sacrifice in image quality as was the case with earlier drivers). FSAA has increased from 4x to 8x (AF supported is now 16x). gives nice FPS in all games except it makes a lot of noise.
Then it really boils down to whether you will be playing opengl games like doom3 and kotor 2 since 6600GT performs well in those. If you want good aa and af routines, the temporal aa and af implementation frm ATi is really better than nvidia's imho. Also the 6600GT is more future proof due to SM 3.0 support. If you are planning to go for the 6600GT then go for the absolute best like gainward or leadtek.
so for 5000 bucks,u gotta check out a 5200 256mb card from XFX,its quite good in its category.
performance isnt much of a different between brands
i've recently upgraded my pc with following hardware: P-4 3.2 GHz, Gigabyte 81915G Duo Mobo, 512 Mb ddr ram (hynix). I wud like to to know about a Pci-xpress based GFX card. Performance should be OK, but price must be low below 6K.

tx again for the reply..any other contenders..do msg....yes any idea how much tat FX 5200 wil cost in say mumbai,delhi...
it has got 256mb DDRII (clocked 950mhz) and 2 GPUs on a single board (each clocked 475 Mhz) with a 128-bit memory controller.
ne thing at 2.5k is GOOD , unless its broken
@gagan: Even though the 9550SE is better than the 5200 (even the 5200 has 64 bit memory) it will choke in games due to the 64 bit memory. Best thing to do wud b to get a card like 9550 (not se) or 9600 non pro with 128 bit memory.
u wont achieve anything with it to be frank
else wait and get a 6600GT @ 11.5k ... best deal
Any idea about the price of a GF 6200 and 6600(plane ie non ultra/Gt)(both of AGP and PCIE vertions)
Somebody said that 6600 (plane) costs only 8k
I want to know which one is a better buy: :arrow: 6200
:arrow: X300
Are chipsets like 5900 or 9800 better than 6200?
:!: :!: :!: :!: :!: :!: :!: :!:
cheers n peace.
ASHU....
i have a intel 865GBF (AGP supported), PIV 2.8HT. i want to buy a graphics card but cant decide which to go for.
i dont know anything about graphic cards.
my Budget is 10K (nothing more than that) . someone told me about ATI Radeon 9250 (256MB) and ATI radeon 9700 pro (128MB).
please tell me the price of them and which one is better. if any card is better then these then please tell me.
Thanks[/quote]
I wanna buy a graphics card with 128 Mb ram. My budget is around Rs 4000 to 5000. Also recommened a good manufacturer. My motherboard has an AGP 4x slot. I wanna know if an 8x card wud work on this one or not.
Please hurry.
pls quote the prize too
thanks but ,no thanks( for Saurabh) :evil: :evil: !!!
well you havent given me the cost of them,
and I also want to know that which one is better 6600 (plain) or 5900 (ultra or plain) or 9800 (Pro).
And also pls. give me their prices.
Thanks.
Dude this is a public forum, ppl are here to help each other out. Nobody is getting paid for it. So unless you are patient enuf noone's gonna help you out.
For your query:
The plain 6600 or the non-gt is a pci-e variant only not agp here. Still if you want the prices it's arnd 7.5k-8k. Like i said earlier stay away from the Fx series. Go for the 6600GT or 9800pro whichever is your preference. Although i'd suggest to go for the 6600GT.
http://www.freespaces.com/techlabs/BIOS/25.jpg
Yupp it looks cool and sounds like a turbo jet
Strange profile those fan blades have. No wonder it sounds like a jet.
I reckon those guys at XGI should hire someone with atleast a bachelors
degree in Mech Engg and redesign those blades :wink:
EDITED:
But don't go for the LE version. For Radeon go for the 9600.
but exams start next month, and i havent started yet
any recomendations,
The 6600GT, avoid xfx since it has heating problems even with the rev2 cooler. Get leadtek, gainward or asus.
i am thinking of going for 6600gt , this will be my first gfx card. so i have no experiance,
will i be able to limit gaming to 1 - 2 hrs a day ?
Depends :D Initially you wont be able to i guess. Been gaming since 10-12 years now, but everytime i get a new game or hardware i cant resist. But it wears off over time :p The first time you will be like "OMG ! This is so gr8"
or it is irresitable ?
Refer above ;)

Ceratinly 6600GT Defeats everybody except X800 series and 6800 series. Hey my VOLARI ROCKS :twisted: the bemchies with new drivers and in 3Dmarks 2003 it posted 6023 and when OC'ed to both the cores and their memory to 455/1200 Mhz (through powerstrip in syncronous mode) it yielded 6920. nice right :twisted: :twisted:

if u've a budget of 6K then its better to go for ati radeon 9600 SE over the cards u've mentioned in ur post...
ENjoy :)
I think i can shell out 2K for a second hand FX5200. I hope its ok Pl let me know.
Hey PRADEEP i am having a nVIDIA Ge Force FX 5200, 256 MB DDR RAM GRAPHICS CARD under warranty, 4 months old (used by me only) with Installation CD (original Piece and CD)
so tell me wat price r u ready to give me Dude?? I am located at Mumbai.Brought that piece for Rs.6700/- (as the price keeps fluctuating in the market) so plz give me a RESPECTABLE price Brother !!
neways cheers n peace.... :P
its a new card, so a good resale value :wink:
you can't run games like doom 3 with that clock speed and ram.
preferably ASUS A8N-SLI. which one is a better deal hercules or Gainward?? A MSI 6800 Ultra was quoted Rs.35.5K, so i select 6800 ultra which one is good Gainward or MSI. MSI has a definite advantage of DOT.
From those definitely the Gainward 6800Ultra ! The Golden Samples are guaraanteed to Oc so i think i'd stick with the gainward.
can i get it ar. 9000 in chd.
wait for some time
someone has a 9600XT in sale here for abt 6k
wait for some time, till u get a deal
fx 5200 256 mb wod sell for 2.2-2.5k if its not XfX
I think going for a feature rich TV tuner nd a seperate Gcard would be better.
thanx
cheers n peace.
Lol i dun have any favs as such but based on many recommendations and Hardware guru's opinions i always have some rough ideas framed.Asus being on the top notch as this is what i have and this is what i am satisfied with.So be assured for its quality and VFM :wink:
@bunny01in....Ati Radeon 9600 SE is still ok but its better to opt for Pro or XT version.It must cost u around 7k(last time i checked) atleast or may be less :P
@blade...ummm Radeon 9600pro for 4k u dont say.Grt man.How long will this take approx???
Umm cant say for sure but shud be a month or so for the prices to be effective.
It is either PCI Express or AGP8X.
btw which one is better in terms of performanee...... which one should one prefer keeping the future in mind........
The performance diff between the AGP/PCI-E parts is negligible though if u are going for a new rig i'd say go for pcie for future *compatibility*.
Lots of 2nd hand cards for sale. Happy hunting.
also are ti 4200/4400 cards still available in mumbai?.. are they better than the above cards...?
9600 > ti 4600 > 5200 Ultra > ti 4200 > 5200

i've recently upgraded my pc with following hardware: P-4 3.2 GHz, Gigabyte 81915G Duo Mobo, 512 Mb ddr ram (hynix). I wud like to to know about a Pci-xpress based GFX card. Performance should be OK, but price must be low below 6K.
Cards below 6k in the pci-e market are not worth it. The 6200TC is still not available which shud cost 4.5k but the performance shud be crap. The x600 is available in your budget range but even that isn't future proof. The best you cud do is the 6600 non gt which shud cost arnd 7-7.5k.
I too need a Graphics card But a second hand one . Any one selling a FX5200 please help me out.

but if it works i cod get a card at half the price aint it?

tx again for the reply..any other contenders..do msg....yes any idea how much tat FX 5200 wil cost in say mumbai,delhi...
It shud be arnd 2.5 - 2.8k in mumbai. A far better card wud be the radeon 9550 but its a tad costlier than the fx arnd 4.5k sumthng.

(aint afraid of startin a nvidia-ati battle :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: )
Ceratinly 6600GT Defeats everybody except X800 series and 6800 series. Hey my VOLARI ROCKS :twisted: the bemchies with new drivers and in 3Dmarks 2003 it posted 6023 and when OC'ed to both the cores and their memory to 455/1200 Mhz (through powerstrip in syncronous mode) it yielded 6920. nice right :twisted: :twisted:

@tushar_novice...For ur budget u can either get a XFX Geforce FX5200 with 128 MB Vram (For 2.5k) Or the 256MB Vram Version (for 4k).This will run Doom 3 a Normal Resolutions and will be playable decently :wink:
i want the reply today itself so please post today itself by 5pm latest
my dad is going to bombay and so we have decided to get a graphics card from lamington road but i dont know to buy which one. suggest one. here are my specifications
direct X 9.0 compatible
256 MB memory
best performance
budget---6k
please reply immediatley
if possible quote prices from lamington rd
some while back i read somewhere that a 9600 AIW card costs abt 11k
it does seem to be a feasible solution that to buy a separate gfx card and tv tuner card and its cheaper too
a 9600 pro is a good card and wod cost u abt 7.5k
a good tv-tuner card, wod cost u around 2k
do mention abt ur system config and budget for these
it has got 256mb DDRII (clocked 950mhz) and 2 GPUs on a single board (each clocked 475 Mhz) with a 128-bit memory controller.
it was supposed to be priced lower rite?
at wht price did u get it?
BFG, Gainward, Ledtek, Asus, MSI, Gigabyte, XFX.
Outside india the 6600GT wud be arnd 7-8k.

Here there are two 9800 cars:aregular nd an all in one wonder
Shocked Whats the difference
Rolling Eyes Also all in one wonder costs much more than the regular one...WHY??????? Shocked
AIW or all in wonders have VIVO capabilities ot video in video out for video capture. Normally AIWs have Tv tuning, Fm tuning etc capabilties. Thus it serves as a true entertainment hub. These features are not present in the normal models, hence the price.

ne thing at 2.5k is GOOD , unless its broken
Well I have it in my hands right now for trial only. it runs the games nicely with the new version of reactor driver (without any sacrifice in image quality as was the case with earlier drivers). FSAA has increased from 4x to 8x (AF supported is now 16x). gives nice FPS in all games except it makes a lot of noise.
FANDOOO bidu . me thinkz u wanna keep this 1 . how bout some noise cancellation ear plugz :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
hey "MAMBA MAMU" at 2.5K this card was a steal. so i did get it and am testing 4 flaws. although in performance it lies in the mainstream area (eaqual to 9600XT, 5700U) and a 6600GT wud hav f**ked its a*s, this piece looks really cool :twisted:
Please hurry.
well i havnt really ever thought bout this segment (2k-3k) , but as u wanna have a spankin new card , may look at companies like PNY n others , they have a fx5200 4 3.7k ( digit , Jan )
Well well therein lies the catch, u have no warranty unfortunately in india. Or if the card gets screwed then u will have to send it back again. So sending it back and fro to cost you as much ;). If u getting a hi-end card like the x800 or 6800GT or ultra then the risk is worth it.
also are ti 4200/4400 cards still available in mumbai?.. are they better than the above cards...?
Lol i dun have any favs as such but based on many recommendations and Hardware guru's opinions i always have some rough ideas framed.Asus being on the top notch as this is what i have and this is what i am satisfied with.So be assured for its quality and VFM :wink:
@bunny01in....Ati Radeon 9600 SE is still ok but its better to opt for Pro or XT version.It must cost u around 7k(last time i checked) atleast or may be less :P
@blade...ummm Radeon 9600pro for 4k u dont say.Grt man.How long will this take approx???
You have any idea where I can get a 2nd hand card.
http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13275&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=
i mean gigabyte, asus, gainward, xfx, etc
plz specify
btw. the powercolor n gigabyte i think so
also all the games u mentioned can play the game at medium settings with the eyecandy turned on
well u wod have to do this by trial and error and find out wht suits u and ur config abt the AA/AF levels
best of luck
c the proccy shoot upwards , leavin a hole in the table

it sucks and stay away from it
wht do u think u r doing demanding something
dude i just said no use going for the fx so only mentioned the price of the 6600 plain and the 6600 GT

ASHU..... :) :) :)
i need to buy a card which costs around 3k
my sys is
P4 1.7ghz
384 mb ddr ram
onboard graphics
mercury motherboard (this sucks)
via chipset (this too)
i need a 128 mb card for best performance,
the games should not lag (new games too)
i can compromise on image quality
pls post ur replies.
thx in advance ,guys
For 6k, I would say Asus A9550 (costs around 5.5k). Or a 9600 non pro. Most brands like Club 3d, gigabyte, gainward are good. Just ask ur dad to look for a good deal. Also be aware that the card should have 128 bit memory & stay away from the cards with 64 bit ones. Thats it.
i have a celeron 500 Mhz,192 mb sdram.
what do u suggest?
PLZ don't comment on my CPU, I Love it!!!
but if u do plz tell me a configuration that'll cost me less than 20,000 (including graphics card) and performs well.
i'm also confused as people say that amd processors are cr*p but they look cool to me as they are economical
can any onboard solution help???
is the 6600GT card available at a cheaper rate outside india? (malaysia or dubai)
thanks
look if someone wants to sell his 9600 Non Pro or some geforce ti cards
Thanx
pci-e .............. NO WAYZ
agp or pci .........yes
