Wanted card name.. urgently
Hi,
i wanna buy a graphic card which has a built in TV tuner to watch TV channels and recording functionality and is made for DirectX 9 b. I mean DirectX 9 b games must run smoothly not that too many features should be turn on, The gameplay must not get affected, that's it.
I want the cheapest available card from reputed brand. I am willing to compromise on my budget for a good brand. But the graphic card must be AGP 4X compatible.
Features needed :
TV Tuner
DirectX 9b support
128 bit interface
min 256 mb onboard
adequate clock speed
Integrated hardware MPEG-2 decoder
TV out card if available
Games wanna play
All latest games
Farcry, Battlefield, DOOM 3, POP, etc.
Please quote card name, price and other alternatives.

Well the Cheapest possible card available and from a reputed brand and that too at 4x speed,not to mention with TV-Tuner capabilities 
Man Dun wanna sound like a total nOOb on this one but i hardly know any card with such capabilities or a 4x card with so much capabilities to be more precise.The Cheapest Possible Card=Fx5200 with DX9 Supporting Option Below that would all fall in the 4 Series like Ti4600,4200 and so on.Each of these card lack some or the other features that u have mentioned.Like the FX5200 can Handle Dx9 Based games,Pixel Shaders,Tv and DVI-Out (Optional),128-Bit Interface,256MB VRAM and also handled your mentioned games at normal res but Lacks the TV-tuner Option,Also no 4x version is available for this card.Other Alternatives Mean Club3d Ati Radeon 9200Pro and SE models in both 4x and 8x variations but still lack in some of your features.
So My Final verdict for your Cheapest card search would be Geforce Fx5200 with 256MB Vram @Rs.4.3k
@mukherjee....Well The Geforce Fx5200 will serve well for you too but even you seem to have a 4X Mobo i guess,So expect the card running at 4x default speed.The 256MB 128-bit Version of this card must Fit your 5k Bill.Also I assume you mean the Graphic cards 64-bit and 128-bit Variation issues.Well in that case,the basic difference is that the more the Memory the More the Bandwidth or the Data Transfer rates.The 64-bit performs almost say 30/40% less as compared to the 128-bit versions.

@mukherjee....hmmmm So you have the 8X Version of Nforce 2 well in that case i suggest a Fx5200 128MB Vram 128-Bit version Must do for you which will be around 2.3k atleast (XFX Brand).The 256MB Vram one is almost the same in performance as compared to the 128MB one and Don't even think of considering the LE version of 5700,a Non-Ultra version will perhaps do but not the LE version as its performance is dam slow for most recent games.Also if your Pc has 1.5 yrs of lifeline still pumping then am sorry to bust this news to you but i think you'll definetly need a better graphic card as the Fx5200 wont last for that long.
@sandeep.....I Suppose the Graphic card drivers are definetly the culprit for this issue.Better Re-Install you drivers also try ending most of XP's background services and Unwanted tasks.

Ati Cards Like 9550,9600Pro And Xt are some of em which fall in almost the same league as of the 5700Ultra.
As for your A8N Mobo the best bet is the 6600GT PCI-E Version costing around 12k.....Make em 2 6600Gt's in case ur budget is dam high and Wanna Make full ultility of ur SLI Mobo.

hey nashedi, the 6200 is available in only 32mb man. u need a pci-ex mobo and atleast 512mb ram to run it. but yes it is around3-4k.
supersaiyan said:
dude u cant compare a 6800gt with a x850pt . x850 is better than even 6800ultra , though the ultra catches up in games like doom3 . x850 would b priced atleast Rs 15k more than the highest spec 6800gt ( gainward 6800 gt GLH ' Goes Like Hell ' , with a 1.6 ns latency ) .
even my current 5200 pci ( gonna buy a new rig in a months time
) card has a tv-out . 6600gt surely must b having , but it then depends on the manufacturer .

What on earth are you talking about dude???
The 6200 Retails only in 128MB and 256MB Vram 128-bit version.The One you are talking about is probably is the Turbo Cache a.k.a TC version of 6200 which utterly sucks big time.Plus any specific reason why you only need 512MB ram to run it("It" as in the 6200 that you are talking about.....ehhh).
