Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^ur ram is definitely adequate. as for he gfx card, u may do well by waiting for dx10 cards. i've heard they've been slated for release sometime this month. should be available in india soon. u might be able to get the 8600gt otherwise u can get the 8500gt. nvidia has announced the costs but they won't be available in the indian markets at those costs. expect to pay a little more

GeForce 8600 GTS -- 256 MB GDDR3, 675 MHz core clock, 1000 MHz memory clock
GeForce 8600 GT -- 256 MB GDDR3, 540 MHz core clock, 700 MHz memory clock
GeForce 8500 GT -- 128 to 256 MB DDR2 or GDDR3, 450 MHz core clock, 700 MHz memory clock

ur ram is definitely sufficient. u can get urself a dx10 card. they're to be released by this month. not sure how much time they'll take to be available in india. check out the following costs. u might not be able to get a 8600gt but will manage a 8500 i think since they sell a little expensive in india

GeForce 8600 GTS -- 256 MB GDDR3, 675 MHz core clock, 1000 MHz memory clock
GeForce 8600 GT -- 256 MB GDDR3, 540 MHz core clock, 700 MHz memory clock
GeForce 8500 GT -- 128 to 256 MB DDR2 or GDDR3, 450 MHz core clock, 700 MHz memory clock

I m not sure but u might be right but some site has benchmarked th 8600 GTS & they revealed the specs as 745 MHz Core Clock & 1250Mhz memory(X2).

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

which is a better gfx chipset: the nvidia geforce 7300gt or the ati radeon x1600pro?

 

[keith_j_snyder2]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^^X1600 pro is better according to the benchmarking results,besides this it is a better overclocker than 7300 GT.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Is there any DX10 gfx card from ATI?

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^ R600 series launches shortly.

ATI Radeon HD2900XT
ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro/XT
ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro/XT

ATI Radeon HD 2900XTX launches after some time.

2900XT is 80nm but 2400 and 2600 are 65nm

2900XT is rumoured to debut at a mouthwatering price of 400$
It is a 512MB GDDR3 card having a 512Bit Memory Interface.
It is HDMI ready which means it has onboard audio chip too ! It is also capable rendering PIP, something like PIP feature on our TVs.

Head over to www.thehardwarelabs.com/forums for more news.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

hey wat will b da 8600 GT equivalent in ATI series??

it will b hell lot cheaper thats 4 sure!!

 

[xbonez]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

i don't think the HD2900XT will be priced anywhere near the 30k mark. it'll be more expensive than that since it supposed to be a much better performer than the 8800gtx. but can't say since ati generally price their gfx cards quite aggressively. lets just wait and watch. anyway not much of my interest coz my dad will kick me out of the house even if i mildly propose buying a 30k card just to play games. however once i complete education and get a job, nothing less than an alienware will do for me

Mostly it is going to be ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro/XT

when are the mid range ones from ati coming ??

ATI 2900,2400,2600 all cards launch on May14th
I have a strong feeling it is going to be a hard launch with plenty of availability immediately.
Unfortunately Dell is sucking whatever 2400/2600 series cards that they can to slap in their desktops.WHich COULD translate into some kinda shortage but since AMD is pushing the launch a bit late i have guess,they dont want to land in situations like before i.e paper launches.
May14th is the D-Day when everything will be clear.

some chinese sites have reported Nvidia also releasing a 8300 and 8400 series cards

8600 Series cards have been released by Asus,PNY,MSI,Gigabyte,Gainward till now.Interestingly Nvidia itself hasnt launched them
8500,8300,8400 are all confirmed.When they arrive, i am not sure.

hello friend in i want to know that when nvidia is launching geforce 7600gt in dx10 version and would be its price.......

Nvidia 7 series cards are not DX10, 8 series cards are DX10

 

[xbonez]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

nvidia's 7 series cards are all dx9 cards. the entire range of 8series (8300,8500,8600,8800,8900etc.) will be dx10 cards. the 7 series cards will not be relaunched as dx10 cards. for the cost of a 7600gt, u'll get a 8300 dx10 card once it is released

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

[xbonez]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

i don't think its necessarry to run dx10 cards on vista only. games such as crysis which require dx10 may run on xp too. i'm not sure so plz correct me if i'm wrong

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Hey the Zebronics 8800GTS 640MB currently has a price tag or Rs.22900.
Is there any chance that the same card costs 19K or 20K after 2 months????
I am in love wid that card. Hope tha ATI comes up wid a better and a cheaper alternative in a month or 2.
