Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

budget 6k... can extend by 1k max.... tired of getting my xfx 8600GT repaired again n again, want a new gfx card... suggest!

you should go with radeon HD4670(512mb gddr3) .. from MSI or sapphire or Palit..

if it fits in your budget... then go for HD4670 with a non refrence cooler..
from Sapphire or MSI or Palit

& if you have a monitor with high resolution then buy HD4670(1gb ddr3)
.. from one of the three companies.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Hi I am new to this forum and i stay in hyderabad, I nead some suggestion. I am planing to buy a GPU, range <Rs 5000.

In this range can i get any card of 9xxx series.
Please specify make, price also if possible the shope name from hyderabad.
Also you can sugest equivalent card from ATI.

Please sugest keping in mind of the following config which i can not change.
My mobo is intel 945Gtp & prc is INTEL PIV 3.0Ghz(Model NO 630).
PSU is 400W.

The best solution for you is to go for MSI HD 4670 approx 5.2k . Best in class graphic card. Even no need to buy new PSU , as it dont require extra power.

The coming series is named RV740 and RV790, based on 40nm.

But dont expect them before April , as AMD is goin to announce these in MARCH (if everything goes on schedule).

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Guys, i planned to buy a 8600GT to play GTA 4 at a decent FPS even at lowest settings, as my current GPU cant. My config is P4 3.06GHz,2GB RAM,7600GT. I am on shoestring budget of 3000 rs and extend it upto 3.5k.(Dont push me above that limit )

My current PC gives a FPS of 14-15 at lowest but it sometimes fell to hell, like 4-5 FPS.
So i decide to get a new GPU for now and upgrade the proccy later.

Does anyone know the price of 8600GT 512MB DDR3 in chennai and where to buy?
I enquired at most of the shops and found only 512MB DDR2 version.

Iill suggest you to get Zotac or Palit 9500GT. They should be Rs. 3200-3500 or so.

Well, yes, March, and price cuts by April, making mid-April or starting May a perfect time for buying.

If RV790 is for 10-12k, then I am considering crossfiring them.

If you want to know about the Ram thing :

Ya. They should work.
If they have lower speed than 400MHZ the new 400Mhz ram module will be underclocked by your mobo to run with the older ram. to

But as far as I know there is no DDR 200MHz ram available in the market.
The ram you already have should be 400MHZ.

Whats the price and where its available in Chennai? (Dont tell me that its available in ritchie street )

That's the biggest dilemma I've also faced couple of weeks ago.

From what I came to know letter is that 9500GT DDR3 is better than 8600GT DDR3. So if you can increase your budget a bit say 4250 then get palit 9500GT 256MB DDR3 for Rs. 4000 ( Street price ). It will even outperform 8600GT 512MB DDR3 version.

8600GT & 9500GT cannot handle more than 256MB efficiently.
So it does not matter how much mem they have. 512MB DDR3 will not give you better FPS than a 256MB version.

8600GT is based on 80nm fabrication process & 9500GT is just only 65nm which means it's more power efficient & runs a lot cooler than 8600GT.
So it's OC potential is even great.

I do have one 8600GT clocked at 620MHZ/1600MHZ/1607MHZ - CORE/MEM/SHADER. So you can OC 9500GT even more than that & get better performance.

But DDR2 mem is just slower than DDR3 mem. So if you have budget prob then get 8600GT with 512MB DDR3 for sure. They just perform better than 9500GT DDR2 version.

I got palit 9800gt 512 card. It came with this powecable. It got two white power connectors.

Do I need to connect only one connector to the powersupply or connect both the connectors to the powersupply I am confused please do reply.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

What PSU do you have ? The black connector is called 6 pin PCI-E power connector.
If your PSU have one of those connector just connect it with the card.

If your PSU don't have that connector you need to use the convertor provided with the card.
Connect both white connector with the PSU.

BTW what PSU do you have ?
