hey dude i think u r buying from a seller named panchkula_traders , lemme tell u i seriously think he is selling fake cards .....he claims he imported the cards thru rashi peripherals but when i contacted rashi they told me there was nuthing like dat and they wont be giving the warranty for his products. i have reported him to ebay and rashi..... i dont know if u shud go for it but just beware coz i think that chap is not genuine...
also the current price of a asus geforce 6800 ultra will be anywhere between 20k - 25k (i am not sure)
anyways if u decide to go for the card plz do temme the product serial no. when u receive it , ill check for u if its genuine. and dont worry if he sells u a fake card also ur purchase is protected by ebay and u will get the refund even if he cheats u , so i think u can go for it......dnt forget to tell me how the card is when u receive it

@ sudden

Damn one more victim i guess ! We had a long discussion abt this trader on our forums ! He is scamster for sure. Since a Asus 6800 costs arnd 13k in the US even, there is no way anyone can offer it for half the price even if he/she purchased it in a lot of thousands. If he has laid hands on a stolen shipment then its a diff thing. Dont go by his feedback since most of the trades he has done have been done in single day or so within record time. On baazee it takes time to sell things. If u want more info abt this scamster refer this threadsudden said:

A 6200 (not the TC version) shud perform as good as the 5700(not the ultra) in most newer games. If your budget is in or arnd even 8-9k i suggest that u add 2k more and get a 6600GT which shud be twice as fast as the 5700U.mako_123 said:

Abhishek, ever heard the saying that you get what you pay for. This saying is true to a great extent in graphics card arena. At this budget the 5200 is the best available right now. But...at this cost you can't expect to have all the eye candy turned-on could you. Its like you pay for a Maruti 800 and want the looks and the performance of a Skoda or a Lancer. Thats the irony. The 5200 is a decent card for entry budget level gaming. It will let you play most of the games, some at low settings, some at medium, and some old ones at full settings. So it is the higher you pay the better the eye candy. You just have to find the card which will give you the maximum bang for the buck. So I say get the 5200, and start gaming. Forget the rest!!!
Peace......
Peace......

I think the 6200 (Non-Turbo Cache) will do for you if the budget is fixed at 8k,but i say the best buy would be a 6600GT For a safe enough gaming
Also the 5700 is slightly better in peformance compared to 6200.The Pricing is mainly because the 6200 is an entry level budget card of Nvidia,Kinda like the FX5200 story in the AGP segment.
Btw i suppose the 6600 plain version is somewhat available for the same budget which forms a decent card....Just enquire about it as well....
@abhishek.....The FX5200 wont be able to handle the High settings of most recent games.Say if you turn on the AA and AF on this card and play a game it will barely post playable frame rates.So if you are a very hardcore gamer meaning if you like to play the games at highest possible resolutions and details then this aint the card you are looking for but if you barely adjust the game's Video settings then this card will be quite sufficient for your current needs.As far as cricket 2005 is concerned i think it can handle it as well.
Moral of the Story:
High Game Settings Needs High Graphic Card & High Graphic Card Need High Green Bills

Hi people,
I have an 2.4 Ghz 512 Kb L2 cache intel processor. 512 MB ddr 266 Mhz RAM. And an Intel 845GBV motherboard with AGP 4x.
I wanna buy an graphic card. I asked a local dealer he said i ca get Geforce something for 128 Mb at 2100 Rs. and 256 MB at 4000 Rs. I dont know any great detail abt graphic cards. But i know cards from nvidia and ATI are good. Which card should I buy.
My needs : Wanna play latest games ( if possible with candy effects ON). I wanna play games like DOOM 3, Prince of persia, HL2, NFS 1 & 2. The games should run smoothly. Can I have a resolution of 1280 x 1024 resolution. I have an 17 inch monitor samsung 753s Syncmaster.
My budget : 4000 Rs. max
My need is basic

@jay4u. I suggest go for the nVidia FX5200, it is a pretty decent card for the budget range. Though playing at 1280 x 1024 is not possible at budget cards. Not even on mid range cards. But the FX 5200 is gonna be easy on the pocket and let you play all the games at playable framerates, with some of the eye candy turned on. Depending on the game. Like DOOM 3 you will have to be happy with low resolution.

@jay4u....Well the One you are probably talking about will be the XFX Geforce Fx5200 obviously which is a decent card but Raising the resolution of the game with all eye candy is just like asking for a PIV Performance with your Celeron 
but rather on a more serious note this card isnt built in a much complex way to handle most high resolutions and Leave alone the Eye Candy option.Doom 3 barely posts playable frame rates on 800x600 resolution on this card,So dun be much surprised if u experinece a snail Crawling (Or even Slower) if you turn up the Video settings for this game.The rest lot of Games like UT2k4,POP:WW,HL2,CS:Source,Cricket 2004,Fifa Series,Mafia etc. looks pretty decent on Normal Resolutions.
My Bid would be the Fx5200 with 128MB VRAM will do perfectly if you are a casual gamer Ohhh Btw Do also remember this is a 8X Agp Card and With ur 4x Mobo u wont be able to utilise the full capacity of this card.(Just a Freindly reminder)
@ankit.....Nope In case of a Fx5200 the 128MB is almost the same in performance compared to its 256MB counterpart.So If u tend to fall short on the budget you can definetly opt for the 128MB Version without any hitch as it will do away pretty well
