Graphics Cards related queries here.
Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
8500GT and even 8600GT don't perform as well as 7600GT so they are not necessarily better than 7 series. Playing SplinterCell and CoD2 at 1024x768 settings shud give average FPS considering that I play these game on my 6600GT at these settings.
DX10 card is required to enable Aero feature of Vista. Other features of Vista run fine even on DX9 cards.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
I don't think DX10 will run on XP. It was meant for Vista and written specifically for it. In fact there was news of hybrid DX10 which will enable DX10 to run on XP but with limited functionality only. No news on it yet.
Also to run 8500GT/8600GT a PSU of 450W/500W will do which you can buy for under 2k. If you are buying gfx from Dubai then just take care of warranty issues as if something goes wrong with the card then you are doomed if the card is not under International warranty. Alternatively I suggest you buy from India as the difference in lower-end cards is not much and you will get full warranty support.
In continuation to my above message...

Booked a 256mb Zebronics 8600GT (3year warranty) for Rs.2000/- as it's not available in the market yet.The card will be delivered to me within the next 2-3 days and it's gonna cost me Rs.7900/- + VAT in full.I guess its very cheap for the performance provided by the card.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
500 Watt PSU from Zebronics/Powersafe shud be enough to run 8600GT. They all cost about 2k. Higher brands like Antec/Corsair/CoolerMaster will cost much more and shud be considered with future expansion in mind.
Also I found this for gfx cards: *www.yantraonline.in/Product.asp?page=1&SubCatId=24
Some XFX cards are missing but atleast u get the idea on prices (prices may be discounted by 5% as claimed).

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
Its all about requirement.U have to decide which is more necessary to u.Some say PSU & some say Graphics card.
In 7K u can have the best of the best PSU.I suggest THERMALTAKE or ANTEC,or if u can find OCZ or CORSAIR,these are few of the best PSU available in the market.
Do u expect a DX10(a good one,which can run without a problem in maxed out the settings)card in 7K?
If yes i suggest go for Card,if power isn't a problem!
