Basic Guide Purchase a New System

[Pathik]

the x3000 supports shader model 3 whereas the x3100 doesnt.
So the x3000 is slightly better for gaming .

Main drawback og X1250 is lack of Sm 3.0
It can't even start Dirt.
But on sheer performance, it beats 6150 ny day.
Also X1250 uses xtra 256MB variable texture memory additional to the shared mem which varies from 64MB to 1G.

No one cares for onboard gfx gaming. They SUCK

thank you so much for ur response..could u tell me if i will be able to play halo 2 on the above graphics card...and is it future proof for atleast a year...and can i play all the latest games..and how about the speed of the system will it be good my current config is
pent 4 2.4 ghz
intel d845gvsr
256 mb ram

 

[zyberboy]

^^8800gt will easily handle most of da games today...if possible try to get 512mb version of 8800gt

@surajramnani2k8
Its the second best card in the world after 8800GTX/U
What is ur monitor?
If its a 15 or 17" CRT, then 8800GT wud be overkill. Even an 8600GT[6~7k] can handle all games @ high/max @ 1024*768.

And E6750 too is a very gud performer.
Ur older system is not even a comparison against the suggested by Pathiks.

thanks..my monitor is samsung syncmaster 793s 17 inches..ill go for the config as suggested by pathiks..any more suggestions?..

 

[dOm1naTOr]

@surajramnani2k8
I think ur monitor supports max of 1280*1024 @ 60Hz.
So 8800GT wud be gud choice. U can do Ultra high @ that res.

 

[keith_j_snyder2]

8800 GT is a good choice also because on that resolution the 8600GT wont be able to handle CRISIS with high resolution and 8800 GT can even at 1280X1024!

Hi Friends,

Can you please suggest me basic DDR2 supported MOBO + Procy + RAM up to 5000/-

System will be used for Office use and light gaming (no graphic card/no overclocking by chance)

Please suggest Intel & AMD config

Thanks

nice user name

anyway pretty hard to fit some thing under 5k you have to think for AMD Sempron processor

AMD Sempron 3200+ AM2 @ Rs. 1100 /- + TAX
BIOSTAR / ASUS / MSI (K9MM-V) VIA Chipset based board supporting 4 SATA @ Rs. 1650 /- + TAX
1 GB DDR-II 667 MHz @ Rs. 900 /- + TAX

with TAX its Rs. 3750/-

where as try for this config if possible...

AMD X2 4000+ @ Rs. 2600/- + TAX
ASUS M2N-MX SE @ Rs. 2400/- + TAX
1 GB DDR-II which is Rs. 900/-

total makes it at Rs. 6136 incl 4% VAT

when cosidering gaming i see games runs better on nvidia 6150 where as under vista both performs same way at it is... as for gaming the SM 3.0 which is present in the Nvidia 6150 IGP gives it an edge over the x1250 which supports SM 2.0, same like G965 (IGP x3000) and G33 (IGP x3100)...

Where as personally i feel x1250 is more suited with Windows vista over nvidia 6150

To confirm my opinion about the superiority of the x1250 over the 6150, go to the following link: *techreport.com/articles.x/11931/9

x1250 beats the 6150 in most of the tests.

@GeekyBoy

Do read it was my personal opinion... sure you do have the option for M2A-VM so why not, if u feel that would be the best option for u go for it...

i expressed what i personally saw at my end while using both the IGPs

Some where I read that for ON BOARD GRAPHICS ATI chipset MOBO is Best, make me correct if I'm wrong.

@Stick

with your budget, I dont think you will be able to afford a ATi based board.. though having said that you may think for MSI K9AGM2 which is Rs. 2400/- + TAX comes with Ati x1250

JETWAY M2A692-GDG AMD 690G Rs.2700/- @ Mumbai, How about this?

 

[Pathik]

^^ that's also a good deal.. try to get it in less.. it is the same chipset.
