dude ati x1900 never killed the 7900, and even if it did, ati's hd models suck literally. their flagship hd2900 has VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY bad framerates on games. trust me u really dont wanna go for ati. and specially u wouldnt wanna go for the hd series, seriously trust me on this one

Although the word "KILLED" might not be appropriate but yes X1900XTX is really standing taller than 7900GTX. May be not enough but the performance difference is 60:40.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

I have some bad news for XFX and nVidia fans today me and my brother Harvik went to upgrade his old pc and this the info I got from a good gentleman at rashi-Remember u guys got the news that XFX have slashed the prices for the Geforce 8600GT but there is no such thing when I told the guy that theitwares mumbai are selling 8600 at Rs6200 he told me that an older model of the 8600 has been withdrawn and its sales have been banned by XFX it seems to me that it is the same model that breached the 80C mark on serious gaming more he told me that he could get me an Geforce 8600 GT for Rs7500 apiece minimum.
So buyers beware of this older model in the market.
My brother has ordered two pieces of the new model of 8600 gt for SLI on the ASUS P5NE-SLI(650i SLI).

I usually play NFS most wanted with all settings maxed out on 1280X1024 res.!
By far it is really good and i don't have any problem.
In NFS Carbon, i just have to turn AA to half and rest of the things are maxed out!
Still don't face any problem!

Does the 2600XT will be able to beat or not on my system(17" LCS1280X1024res.)?

i reckon you'd get better framerates with the 2600... infact, im pretty sure...
tho i read somewhere that ati's come out with a newer line of 2600's which have slower memory, hence cheaper too...
and btw, if you're getting optimum performace with your current rig, why're you goin in for a newer card? that too an entry/mid range card...
cause even if the 2600 gives you better performance (which i think it would), it would just about be noticeable... so if you're lookin for better fireworks, and serious gaming, i think you might as well save up and buy something better....

dude according to the specs its should but i dont trust ati anyways just go with 8600gt dude it rockzzzz
the 2600's almost as good as the 8600gt, and cheaper too...
tho its only downer is that the 2600's performance falls a bit when aa's turned on, and the 8600 does alright...
but well, they both cant handle aa at huge resolutions i guess, thats for the big guns...

Wow...seriously...if i need to save money for something better then i will buy it after 2 years from now because my rig is playing every single game so far upto S.T.A.L.K.E.R and Splinter Cell - Double Agent.

For all those upcomming games....if i don't go for an upgrade or change....i will run all those comming games on little lower settings like no AA and medium details.....but when i go upgrade....it will be the Quad cores and DDR3( possibely cheaper after 2 years)....but now i m just skipping little stones before taking a big leap!

Well XFX 7600 GS is for 4150/- and XFX 8500 GT is for 4500/- acc. to www.itwares.com

So, i don't think its a much of a difference in price yet decent one in performance.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

If just Rs. 500 odd is the difference then 8600 GT is better choice I think. I am upgrading this week :)

Just saw comparisions on net and HD2600 gets outperformed in game FPS by 8600 GT :$

What exactly is this new and old thing?
There is only one 8600GT. Is it something like 8600GT2 or OC or OC2....like BFG has?

Please beware of temperature problems in XFX 8500 and 8600 cards. They easily touch 80 90 degree c. I have the 8500 one so I know.
