Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

as I said earlier, gaming is not all that is to be looked at while buying an LCD.

Now, lot of bluray movies are coming, many are already availble on the internet, Reliance, dish, tata are all readying fullHD satellite TV service. Imaging Vista at FullHD resuolution. Why should we then stat away from the fullHD display just because we can't play few games in fullHD resolution. You don't play games all round the clock, you have to option of 1:1 pixel mapping or to reduce the visible area while playing game.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

never heard of any issues with the MSI 8600GT card. Your PSU should be more than enough and I think it can even manage two 8600GT's.

Unfortunately, I could only find MSI 8600GT (512 MB, DDR2). But the 256 MB GDDR3 version of Palit and Sparkle are available. Which ones should I go for? R there any issues with the 8600 GT (256 MB, GDDR3) cards from palit & sparkle especially regarding heat and fan noise? Btw, how much does Asus 8600GT (256 MB, GDDR3) cost?

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

I say go for Sparkle. They are more cooler and as said before there is a problem of over-heating but is solved in the Sparkle version I THINK. Asus EN8600GT is the fastest 8600GT 256MB GDDR3 in the market. it shud cost around 900-1k more! I say its a steal of a buy. Go for Sparkle over Palit and Asus over both of them. Asus>Sparkle>Palit

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

i hear that palit sonic cards are very cool . . .one of my frends got a sparkle 8400GS but it certainly wasnt cool .. went to the 80s easily. .. asus is very cool definitely. .if its a palit sonic , go4 it.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^Nope i say Sparkle. But lets not f8 and take a look at some reviews, see whos the best and go for it!

 

[spikygv]

Fastest? I doubt that buddy. XFX 8600GT Fatality and Palit 8600GT Sonic+ are still the fastest 8600GT models in the market. Coming to their availability, thats a different point. However, i still feel that vanilla XFX 8600GT is an amazing card. Yep, heating issues with UDF7 models. But that doesnt make a reputed brand like XFX look bad! IMO, its still one of the best. I am using that "electric stove"(as called by many! ) model of 8600GT, i.e. UDF7 model! One year already, and the card is still reliable! Overclocks amazingly! Regarding, the heating issue...i just applied AS5! And the card hasnt crossed 85 degrees, even under the maximum stress.... since than! Not bad for such a model!
All in all, 8600GT is available for 5.5K these days! Brands like MSI/Palit/XFX offer better options. MSI 8600GT 256MB DDR3 model is seldom in N.P. However, 512MB DDR2 is available.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

whats diff between DDR3 and GDDR3 ?
should the new ppl go for GDDR3 necessarily ?

 

[paranj]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^DDR3 refers to RAM memory. And I mean the system RAM. Its only used there. GDDR memory is used in GPU RAM. GDDR5 is also out but noone uses more than GDDR3.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

I want to buy Geforce 8600.
I would like to know the latest prices of both GT and GTS models.(I can get XFX or Sparkle so it would be awesome if I can get all the prices)

Edit:I read in some previous posts that XFX has some problems.Should I go with Sparkle?

 

[spikygv]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^ go4 asus / evga / msi 8600GT with gddr3 memory. . dont go4 ddr2 models even if its 512mb .

@paranj , still waiting for reviews which indicate sparkle is better than palit.

 

[paranj]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^ya becuz Palit is not as famous THOUGH its one of the best companies!

@Arsenal_Gunners (though Arsenal sux and ManU rules)

as u claim XFX does have sum problem and that is over-heating. Did u ever hear abt the XFX 8600GT Electric Stove Version? Nope? Just browse this thread! Go for ASUS EN8600GT 256MB GDDR3

 

[Arsenal_Gunners]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

It would be good if someone post the prices of all these versions of 8600 or provide a link to it.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

ASUS EN8600GT costs around 6800 - 7200. Confirmation? but its around that mark.
