Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

XFX 8600GT is really costly
xfx 8600GT new ones don't have heat issues.the older stock had it.but performance wise Asus 8600gt is better but availability is a big issue.

@GX-the 512mb one might be a DDR2 card.XFX 8600GT 512mb ddr3 costs around 7k

nyways, single GPU cards are better to own than any dual GPU. im most cases dual GPU setup faces random speedups or slowdowns irrespective of v-sync or so. This stands true for both SLI and crossfire.

Absolutely right but main concerning point is having a right high end smps for sli.if your pc is switched off for long days like 15-20 days the smps just explodes it often happens during winter season especially in india ppl with no air condition find this situation.

Again i might be wrong.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

8800GT 512mb . .if u're getting 3870 for a lower price , go4 it. i dont think any dx10.1 exclusive games will come . heck , we dont have dx10 only games at all.

Ok, I have decided to buy XFX 8600GT with 256 MB DDR3 RAM, I will inquire about the cost when buying.

first try and see if Radeon HD 3650 is available. It has gone below the 100$ mark in the US, and I am not sure about india.

and XFX sucks. Buy ASUS 8600GT instead.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

I will inquire about Asus 8600GT's cost.

And plz, No AMD Graphics Cards. I am a nVidiot.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

@gx , u arent into serious gaming and OCing right ? the new xfx model that rashi has ( UAL3) of xfx 8600GT doesnt heat all that much. i got that model as a replacement and it goes to a max of 76C . it comes with a square/rectangular box . the udf model which had heating probs comes with a X shaped box..

if u can get asus , well and good. certainly its better. . .but just thot i shud tell u this piece of info.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^But i think that model is not widely available in India... Or is it?

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^ both Asus 8600gt and this new XFX model are available @ rashi

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

At what temp does the ASUS card run?

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

the silent one had some issues just like XFX 8600gt.the active cooling one is cheaper and runs cool-there's no heating issues for sure.

are u sure that no dx10.1 games are gonna come soon?

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

take 2days situation as example. People already having powerful DX 9 cards like 7950GT wanna upgrade only for DX10 while their older card is still doing the job well for them.
So even if u get hands on powerful DX10 card, and when games starts releasing for 10.1, they think bout upgrading so have those extra eye candies to be rendered the way its meant to be.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Yeah right....Whats the point of buying a high-end card if u can't get much goodies for those eyes?

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

no dx10.1 exclusive games wont come. . games that use dx10.1 may come but will DEFINITELY support dx10 cards. . .heck , all dx10 games today support dx9 pathway. .so dont worry abt dx10.1

and it appears rashi ( atleast in b'lore ) has given up the udf models. they're giving 'ual' models(square shaped box ) which dont heat up so much..rashi gives replacements real fast , got my replacement in 4 days that too coz they dint have 8600 in stock ( otherwise i wud have got it then and there itself ).

 

[nish_higher]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

probably dx10.1 games wont come and there's no news for that to happen either.not even a rumour.i won't advice anyone to get a new card just for the sake of 10.1..performance/value matters more.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

I got 5k in my hands today & have to decide which graphics card I should buy. I am looking for a GeForce 8600GT with 256MB RAM, whether it is DD2 or DDR3

Or should I go for a Radeon 3xxx graphics card, if that is available in 5k?

Plz recommend me a brand. There will be no overclocking & the card has to be cool as in temprature. I got these models in mind..
