Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

hi,

I need a graphics card for my Viewsonic widescreen 22" TFT VX2235wm as my current onboard graphics setup does not support it.

CPU: AMD Sempron
Motherboard: ASrock K7VM3.
Has 2 PCI slots(spec 2.2) & 1 AGP slot (supports 1.5V, 4X AGP card.). The manual has a caution for the AGP slot: "Do NOT use a 3.3V AGP card on K7VM3’s AGP slot! It may cause permanent damage!"

Please suggest any suitable cards based on the above. Thanks,
Vivek

If it is PCI-E then its 8400 GS.

PCi Cards are hard to find, even AGP are getting obsolete today, heck PCI-E is also an old story.

The in thing is PCI-E 2.0.

Its true that ATI always have a better VFM than nVidia....but in Indian market always nVidia products are cheaper,coz of the crap ATI marketing network...hope that will change soon...

Very true!

nVidia products are also cheaper compared to ATi in india. But also ATi products are expensive and did not provide much services to the customer in india.

Well fingers X-fire!
We might see change also.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Hello all,
Need some advice on a computer Im helping to upgrade.

What he needs is a display card. I checked the prices at *www.deltapage.com/graphic.htm

Here is the below 7k division
Code:
Chipset 	Model	 	           ZEBRONICS	XFX
NVIDIA	8400GS	256(512)	          2600	        2750
NVIDIA	7100 GS	512(128) 	          1550	        1825
NVIDIA	7200 GS	128 MB	                   1625	        1975
NVIDIA	7200 GS	256 MB	                   2050	       2175
NVIDIA	7300 GS 	512(256)	   2450 	2500
NVIDIA	7300 GT 	512 MB	            3475	3850
NVIDIA	7600 GT	256 MB	                    5200	5800
NVIDIA	7900 GS	256 MB	                    8300	8850
NVIDIA	8500 GT	256 MB	                    4050	4350
NVIDIA	8500 GT	512 MB	                    4775	4775
NVIDIA	8600 GT	256 MB	                    5600	6300
NVIDIA	8600 GT	512 MB	                    6650	7650

He just casually games. Consider him to use stuff like F.E.A.R and Half Life 2. What would you recommend him using considering that all new cards are coming out? I was thinking of getting him XFX 8400 GS which seems to be very cheap. Any heating issues? Should I stay away from the 8500 GT models? Any suggestions?

Please note the person who will be using this has an onboard 6150 also. Hes using the same motherboard I am which is a Asus M2N MX SE. Will there be a notable increase in performance between the two?

@quan chi
yup, u can connect all PCIE card on ur mobo if u have PCIE slot
Currently only 8800GT is available with PCIE 2.0 slot and its bckward compatible with PCIE 1.1 mobos, ie it can be connected to PCIE 1.1 slot, but the performance will be limited[not very much].

And u can easily connect cards like 7300Gt or 7600GS.
And dun get 7300GT or 7600GS. Get 8500 or 8600GT for the same price and better performanve + DX 10 support.
