Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

definetly go for PCI-E if ur mobo supports it...i'd suggest 256mb gddr2

also, i'd suggest u go for some other chipset instead of 6600

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

i hv got pcie support but my budget is ~5k(not more). that is why i ws considering 6 series.
it wares doesnt list ne 6 series card price

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

dude 6 series is almost obsolete. and with 5k u can try to find the 8600gt. if not 8500gt. and for 3k u can get 8400. why the hell did u even think of the 6 series. there is a reason they arent listed anywhere.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

well not in india theyre not. and id suggest stay away from the 7xxx series. its the dawn of the 8 series!!! get a 8600gt instead of a 7600gt.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Why are you saying to stay away from XFX?

not to stay away from xfx .. stay away from xfx 8600GT . .a model commonly available has heating issues .. for any other gpu , i too vote for xfx . for 8600 avoid xfx . thats my opinion. thats all . by all means take the xfx 8600 , but u're in trouble if it has heating issue.

this was the post i was referring to........

8 series true.....still those who tight on pockets can get 76gt too...max 5-7fps diff in games between these 2.
added bonus in 86gt is jus dx10 support...

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

well when installing a graphics card is it required to uninstall the onboard graphics driver if you have any.

YES .... the proper procedure is
1. Uninstall the onboard grfx driver.
2. Shut down the PC.
3. Open cabinet and install new GRFX CARD.
4. Boot up the pc and install new drivers.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

how is GeCube RX3870XT 512 MB DDR4 Rs. 14400compared to XFX 8600GT and XFX 8800GT ?
I am asking because I saw that it has GDDR4 RAM.
also please tell me something about Sapphire HD 2600XT 256MB DDR4 Rs.7100

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

2600xt at 7.1k - terrible buy . .offers marginal performance improvement over 8600GT available at 5k

3870xt at 14.4k is a pretty good deal . but it still is just behind 8800GT . find the prices of 8800GT as well .if thats also at 14k , 8800GT is better. but however if u intend to use the card for 2 yrs 3870 will be a better choice as it supports dx10.1

and how can you possibly compare 8600GT and 3870 ?
different cards of nearly same price are compared. otherwise , we see if the price difference is worth the performance the costlier one offers.

3870 is 3 to 4 times better than the 8600GT . its worth the price difference . so f u have the money get the 3870 .
