Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

@ KaranTh85 - you should go with dual slot cooler card. They runs a hell lot cool
compared to single slot cards.

For psu - what's you are using now ? You should get Corsair VX450W Rs.4K or else CM 600W extreme power plus ( newer versions of'em )

For GPU brands get Sapphire or else palit. Don't know much about powercolor.

@falumittir

get atleast 9600gt 512mb or 9800gt 512mb

9500 is not worth. It gives only little extra performance than your 8400.
so get 9600gt or 9800gt

i would go for 9800gt or ati HD4770 :)

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Guy's can someone please explain what is the actual power requirement for a 9600GT?.
Nvidia website says 400W:

*www.nvidia.in/object/product_geforce_9600gt_in.html

XFX Says 600 W:

*www.xfxforce.com/en-us/products/graphiccards/9series/9600GT.aspx#4

which is correct ?

Isn't XFX's edition of 9600GT costlier than others and that for the same price you could get HD4850 or atleast a 9800GT??

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Umm...Hey there...
I have a bit of a problem here....
I have decided to buy a Sparkle 9600GSO as I heard it was a great card...anyways..this was around Feb 09...and also I have only a 450W PSU...

See my config below for more details, but do I need to upgrade my PSU??
Are any other cards available in the range of my budget including PSU(if required) in 5K-7K??

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

if you are ready to put 7k, look for HD4850.

and you haven't posted your config.

also Palit GTS250 512MB is available for 7.5k and it will be a terrific buy.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

the total budget itself is 7K....
also my friend recommended the following:-
AMD Athlon X2 6000+
Asus M3N78-EM motherboard( PCI-E 2.0 Compatible & max RAM speed 1066mhz)
Tagan 500W/CoolerMASTER 550W/corsair 450W
Sapphire HD 4670 512MB DDR3

A MAJOR OVERHAUL!!!
Don't have enough money but can buy one part at a time...

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

@ jackal_79 - 9600GT consumes around 90W.

@ sa_still_rocks - Don't even think of X2 6000+. Get Phenom X2 550.
Try to get sapphire HD4850. It's just only 6.5K & performs better than GTS250.

For PSU corsair VX450W.

Well, my XFX8600GT has gone faulty.I had checked with Rashi and they said that it will take time to get a 8600 replacement.So if i pay the diference they can give me a 9600GT which is in stock.The difference is 750/- . Should i go for it?
