Basic Guide Purchase a New System

[nish_higher]

A board's performance can be judged by overclocking itself.This board overclocks more than 780i , u cant expect more
And since both 780i and 750 support 1333mhz FSB proccy support is the same.

That 5% decrease is UPTO 5% and does not happen with every game.

 

[spikygv]

nah , the 5% decrease is not due to 8x . .but the newer chipset that supports pcie 2.0 ( x38 ) performs better than the chipset offering pcie1.1 ( x8+x8) . . so performance increase is not majorly due to pcie 2.0 but the chipset itself.

ok so what is the price for P7N SLI... and what abt the card guys... u never suggested... 2 8800GT or 1 8800GTS both 512 MB...

 

[nish_higher]

P7N Sli=9700-9800 rupees

Don't buy XXX edition of 8800GT.Rest is fine.
I think 8800GTS would do the job for now , u can later add another one.

 

[ajayashish]

so u mean i should for for one 512MB 8800GTS XXX edition... which is factory overclocked i suppose and not 2X 512MB 8800GT

 

[nish_higher]

yes that card is factory overclocked

MSI 8800 GTS OC for 18000


2 of these cards would create a beast , since a single card gives performance same as 8800GTX Stock

 

[spikygv]

8800GT seems to have some heating issues. .the 8800GTS has a very good cooler. . so a 8800GTS will be better . if u're going for SLI , think of 9600GT SLI , it scales very well albeit it wont beat a 8800GTS SLI .

 

[Shloeb]

Thanks guys. I'll try to convince my dad to increase the budget.

 

[ajayashish]

Is MSI 8800GTS better than XFX 8800GTS

 

[nish_higher]

yea , same performance for a cheaper price - for all 3 cards- 8800GT OC , 9600GT and 8800GTS
2nd option-ASUS

 

[spikygv]

and xfx seems to be making rather HOT cards these days. . xfx 8600 was too hot. now i'm hearing overheating problems with alpha dog edition of 8800GT. . whats up with xfx these days ?

@ajayashish:

Why don't you consider nvidia quadro ? Geforce series is made for gamers and quadro is specially aimed at graphic designers and animators. FX series provides separate rendering accelerator for each view-port of 3ds max and Maya. Don't know how much they cost, are they SLI compliant or not but I think you should just look at them and then take final decision.

Please someone shed light on nvidia FX series (quadro) cards....

 

[ajayashish]

well i want to play games as well as i am a fan of gaming... and quadro is not meant for gaming

 

[darklord]

They are professional graphics cards BUT are obscenely expensive.

XFX 630i is not in market...can someone suggest a board for 3.5k?

 

[keith_j_snyder2]

8800GTS has Dual slot cooler and is "fat-er" than 8800GT coz 8800GT has single slot!
