Before Xmas 8800GT 256mb version and also ATI 3870/50 will be introduced....they will be around 180-200$ range...get them....8600GT/GTS are crap...dont get them...

i have 2 options guys...

1.xfx 8600 gt
2. ASUS en 8600 gt...

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Will newer cards like 8800GT which have PCI express 2.0 interface work on PCI express 1.1?

Buy a 8400 GS as it is DX10 and some of therm will be hooked up with HDMI port.

Secondly, buy a 800 MHz RAm as its frequency is better than 667.

2.0 cards are backward compatible too so they will work on PCI-E 1.1 but on 1.1 speed, not on 2.0 speed!

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

I dun think the performance will drop so much, coz its da GPU nd memory thats the bottleneck nd not the PCIE x16 interface.
The data rate of even PCIE 1.1 is overkill for todays card.
PCIE 2.0 is coming takin into consideration the coming cards like HD3800 nd 9800.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

The PCI-E 2.0 draws almost double the power compared to PCI-E. So there aren't going to be the external power connectors for the mainstream cards besides this there are some speed factors too!

hey i guess i will then wait for the dec ending..as we have thanksgiving in november..hope the price comes down..lol..

 

[keith_j_snyder2]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

THe wait should be of ATi HD 3850 and HD3870 which will blow 8800 GT ( I Believe) in performance and as well as price too!

How do u know that man....just assumption or any proof (benchmarks)..

 

[keith_j_snyder2]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Thats obvious...because if ATi wants to stay in the market, they have to put some thing like X1900 XTX to beat nVidia!

It doesn't matter that if they are best performers....the only thing matters is which one is better VMF....which means main stream hardware!

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

ya ATI does have a gud VFM..but they still lose out on expensive cards..wht i mean to say is tht there expensive cards are still not able to beat the NVIDIA's

Its true that ATI always have a better VFM than nVidia....but in Indian market always nVidia products are cheaper,coz of the crap ATI marketing network...hope that will change soon...
