is there any diff in price between UDF7 and UAL3 and just follow this linktrue , old XFX 8600GT udf7 overheated a lot reaching the 90C's for me. .the replacement i got UAL3 is better ( max i've seen is 80C and idles at 60C ) but not all that satisfactory. . .XFX seems to be getting a bad reputation regarding overheating . even the 8800GT alpha dog owners seem to have complaints..
by all means asus 8600GT is much better.. . much cooler.
since u're saying u have a budget of 7k , if u can extend to about 9k , u can get double the performance of 8600GT by getting a 9600GT. . but also be sure to get atleast a cooler master 500W psu in case u opt for 9600GT ..
if u can get a radeon 3850 for around 7-8k , that will also be a much better deal compared to the 8600GT.
I currently have a 7600GT. Is there any 9600GT offering in 5-8k price bracket? If not then any chances of price drop soon? By soon I mean by July-August
At 8X AA and 8XAF??? U sure, what u are saying? What are the card's clocks during gaming in Crysis?? If possible, attach the screenshots of Sphere/Ice with same settings u mentioned along with FPS.in Crysis even on 1280x960 with 8xAAand AF i get 20-30FPS even at most graphically strong places.....
..besides, taking a 9600GT will mean u need atleast a cooler master 500W smps ..
Hey guys i need some help ...
i'm planning to get a new graphic card in under 10 k range.......
performance is a priority as i already have the following config bought at the end of jan.
e6550,
intel dg33fb,
xfx 8600 gt(256 ddr3),
i-ball cabinet ( with stock smps m not sure abt 400w or 450w)
2X1gb (667mhz) ddr2 ram in dual channel
i think this is all the info that is required .....
8600 is not a bad card(can run anything at 1024X768 but when i bought it 8800 series started at 14000/-
and the card in b/w was 8600 gts which is overpriced( my opinion )4 just an overclocked card.
i need a card 2 run crysis and assassin's creed at max ( 1280 X 1024 )
Ati cards are fairly compatible wth intel processor n mobo right?
i m not sure abt ati or nvidia( . . . as in what to buy )
sorry 4 the post getting bigger but it would be a huge help if u can quote the prices too.
Any help will be apprecated
Thanks
