^^90? :shock:
The maximum i have seen is 82C. But i think my card would touch the 90C mark if i didnt have the 2 extra fans near the graphics card in the cabinet:D

Please tell me the exact model number of XFX 8600GT graphics card that doesn't have heating problems? I want to buy one in a few days.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

I think the udd3 has no heating problems and i believe this model is not widely available in India. You can get the Asus EN8600GT which will cost a little more but has better cooling... It will be good for overclocking ;)

It is very expensive. I asked itwares guy. He says that asus en8600gt is at 7k. Please make it sure whats the correct model of the card. I think u r not sure.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^ why are u so fidgety . LOL .u cud have gone with harvik's card , but i suppose he gave it to sabertoothe .. and ne reason why u want to cling to XFX no matter what and y are u against galaxy so much ?

i got my card from a local vendor . he first gave the galaxy card , but i refused and insisted that he bring me a XFX card and i regret that choice i made. you can ask other memebers abt the galaxy / POV cards , i'm sure u'll get positive response.

regarding the models of XFX having no overheating issue , the model than nvidia8800 suggested is rite . it doesnt have heating issues but retails at 7.5k i hear . go back a few pages in this thread and u'll find out abt it. u'll be hard pressed to find that model . it'll be easier to buy asus as its in the same price range. if u dont have that much budget , get galaxy / POV.

if u are willing to spend around 7.5k , i would recommend xfx 7900GS . but i think some other memebers here may disagree with me.you'll have to ask the opinions of others . but u can aswell forget getting a xfx 8600GT for 5k which has no heating issues.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Ok. Thanks sagargv. I think u r right. I will buy some other card. I don't want the same thing that happened to u also happen to me as well. But i was insistin on XFX because i can get the replaced in my own city because the rashi office is nearby whereas the galaxy or other cards need to be replaced from other cities. Thats why. Anyways thanks.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Is galaxy a good brand? Is it reliable and what about the customer service?

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

very good brand . i have used 8600gt oc model from galaxy .. came with cooler master heatsink installed .. performance was very good for a 8600gt ..also it overclocked very well upto 720/920 on core/ memory respectively ..

xfx is overpriced here in india.. also they dont put good heatsinks over their cards ..my 6600gt agp had a aluminum one whereas big gave a solid copper heatsink on 6600gt models ...

if ur looking for 8600gt i would go for galaxy ..no idea abt after sales service though.

also xfx is handled by rashi here in mumbai ..i have seen how these guys work at their ..really poor service ..

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Don't go for XFX 8600GT(s) as far as i have discussed with XFX technicians they say that models vary only by packaging.The XFX live and ticket help is pathetic but yet i often go there for suggestions to problems.My new 8800GT YDF7 isn't even listed there for registration.The guy told me that 8800GT plain models with different model no.s differ in packaging.Stay away from POV,chaintech,MSI.Currently the best brand for 8600GT available in India is Asus and Galaxy,there might be other which i don't not know.
Palit would have been very good if only tirupati imported their GFX cards.

u r welcome . getting xfx coz u can get it easily replaced is not a good idea. chances are high that the replacement card also has overheating probs.

PS
Ah , u already have proof that galaxy 8600 is good.

@Harvik780
u can easily register XFX products by mailing to customer service nd theyll do it for u. Most of the odels coming to India are not listed there in registration pages.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Is it wise to buy an 8 series card right now? As the 9 series cards are going to be released so i think there will be price cut in the prices of the cards. What do u think?
When will the 9 series cards will release? I know its Feb. But at the end of feb or at the mid?

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

maverick340 recently bought an MSI 8600GT for 5.1k from SMC intl....its fanless with a massive heatsink...i guess its one of the cheapest 8600GT gfx cards available....how's MSI's rep with the 8600GT?
