Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

8500GT is slightly better than 6600GT but 8400GS is not even as good as 7300GT....so get 8500GT for 4.4K...but instead raise ur budjet to 5.5k and get 7600GT or get 8600gt at 6.3k

hmmm......the rates that u have given is way better than in my city.......all these dealer are quoting 7k+ for 8600GT as if m buying gold from them.....if its 7k+ then i'll better go 4 PS2 atleast i can play smackdown vs raw

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

ps2 isnt a very gr8 option as it will get outdated very soon . .not that 8600GT will last long but i suppose it may last longer than a ps2 if u're willing to sacrifice quality

8600gt will run oblivion on max at 1024x768 dunno about shader model 3.0 games but it would support them just not on max
i wud prefer 7600gt over that but 7 series dont support dx10 so thats a let down but 8600gt is not good at dx10 games at all
if u guys plan on playing everything u shud go for 8800gts which starts at 14k its worth it and it plays all current games at max 1280x1024 for unreal 3 engine games, as i know of

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Guys, my friend is upgrading his PC. He wanted a GFX card with TV out and not for gaming. I am confused a bit now after reading some of the post in this thread. his budget is short for GFX maybe 4K max. I wanted to suggest 8400 but I think its not that good. Now I want to suggest 7300GT insted . What do you guys say ?

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

well . as u can see i have a 2 yr old p4 , so i dont think u can get a good answer from me . try asking sabert00the or phlanx or someone else with 8600GT . besides i am not a hardcore gamer .
if u just wanted my opinion , well its good enough for me as i play @ max of 1024*768 and most games i play ( carbon , pop , matrix , TRA etc.. ) work more than fine . i'm very happy coz previously i was using onboard x200 ( although it was very very small gaming then . . ) . if u're seriously into gaming get urself a 8800GTS 320mb atleast .but if u dont have the money , u cud get the 8600 . another good reason i dont play on ps2 is that i cant use trainers(LoL) well thats the way i game.i wudnt recommend a 8600GTS as it doesnt have good value for money . and 8600GT is a better OCer . but i havent seen the true power of my 8600GT as i have landed with a probobly faulty card running at insanely high temps and i am unable to OC it. .

and yes, i think 8400 wud be a better choice . 8400 is worse than 7300 in gaming but in other features ( ur fren doesnt want gaming ) , i think 8400 shud be a better choice.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

note guys 8600gt wud NOT be able to run unreal 3 engine games like GoW and vegas with good graphics, and probably with low framerates
can i ask why does he want a gfx for tv unless u wanna use the pc for a player or something anyways go for 8400 becuz it also supports hd

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

i ndont think anything less than the 8600GT should suffice

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

u shud still consider what the buyer wants like hes saying either 8400 or 7300

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Sorry for the late reply guys... He wants it mainly to run Media Center and connect the output to TV. What my concern was that 7300GT is 128 Bit where as 8400 is 64 bit but has a higher frequency. My friend says absolutely no gaming. But wants the card to have a good playback of video.

well i'm not a hardcore gamer but 1 thing i want 2 tell u i.e. currently i'm usin' BIG 6200TC 256MB card with 512 DDR it never dissapoint me till now as i played many latest games in low graphics but 1 thing i noticed tht company of heroes always us run on lower grpic as the ram was did'nt supported this game but whn i upgrade 1 more ram to 1 GB it run in higher level only at some mission it used to run slowly but NFS carbon never supported my PC all in low level thts y m thinkin' 2 upgrade my graphic card just for the nice vision of the game not as a hardcore gamer......

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

I have one XFX 8600 GT...at idle the temp remains around 45-50 C but when I play games (Carbon or Double Agent..) for few hrs the temp exceeds 65-70 C . Can anyone tell me what is the safe temp limit for the card?

dood depends wht your surrounding temp is..like my 8800gtx runs at idle 68 and load 76 even 80 smtimes....during the rains the idle is 63 and load 72-74...
so i think is urs is pretty safe....but just to make sure....put a 120mm intake fan right in front of the card..

man , u're damn safe . if u want to know the max , my xfx 8600GT runs without artifacts or system crashes even @ 107C . my idle is 67C and usual load is 80-85C peak is 95C . but i think my card is faulty as i have tried putting 120mm fan , replacing psu , now i will try changing cabby but i doubt whether that will help . next month i'm getting this damned card replaced . dont worry abt ur temps , thats damn cool (try to keep it below 75C,thats good enough ) . mind telling wat cabby and which fans u use if possible with pics , i shud do it too.

for ur need spend 4.3k and get 8500GT....best for non gamers....or even u can get 8400GS......better than 7300Gt for movies and eye candy stuff (8400 certainly not good for games)...
