Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

8600GTS is practically an OCed version of the GT .. not good vfm . .8600GT is better VFM...

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

If you have a high budget then 8800GT is a good card with very good VFM

hav a budget of <8000, so goin 4 8600gt, Can u plez suggest which brand 2 go 4, i hav heard xfx has some probs!!!

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Yes XFX has some heating issues in some older models... You can get the Asus 8600GT (I think its called EN8600GT) which has better cooling and is better if you want to OC your card...

I think its better if you take ASUS. But if you want XFX, then make sure you take the model which has no heating issues. But the newer model is not available in India widely AFAIK.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

i bought the xfx8800gt 512mb vanilla on new year. no heating problems and u dont need any additional cooling solutions other then a 80mm fan in ur system.

and anyways now u can only get the newest alpha dog editions only which has a bigger fan then the older model. i ordered the older model but got the alpha dog edition. and in alpha dog edition the only difference is in the heatsink/fan design.

u can get it without worry.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

s 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?

Does anybody know abt this?

does this provide better cooling than others (asus & galaxy)?

 

[nvidia]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^Asus provides the best cooling solution among 8600GT. But if can get one of the newer models of XFX without heating issues then you can buy that.

since u won't be oc'ing (as u said). it provides more than enough cooling...even if u do decide to do a bit of oc'ing, it can handle it....no major oc'ing though

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Don't buy a fanless graphics card as they are not so good at cooling also fanless doesn't hold much for overclocking!

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Doesn't matter whether it is cooler master, Zalman, Thermaltake etc.
The thing that matters is material used. And if u see the Copper heatsink...it should be the best!
