Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Guys, how's the Mercury 8600GT....heard that it's available for 3K. Is it a good buy?
If it's available for 3K, how come people are buying other brands like XFX for much higher price?

Asus 8600GT is for 6.5~7k!!!!!!
more than twice!!.
Mercur 8600GT too comes with GRRD3 and 3yrs warranty. I dun think the oc potential of Asus is worth that 4k xtra. A 9600GSO for 6.5k makes a lot better buy than Asus 8600GT.

@gulgulumaal
but its only less than a month or so, that the mercury began to ship it for cheap[3.2k]. The cheapest ones available before was XFX and POV for arounf 4.5k

Cool...then I think Mercury 8600GT wud be the perfect choice for a budget gamer (like me). Am currently running an 8400GS, but if 8600 is this cheap, I'll buy one and gift the 8400GS to my bro :)

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Guys, give me some advice regarding this
which is good, MSI 8800 GT OC edition (with zalman cooler)
or XFX 8800 GT Alpha Dog Edition.
I also wanted to know that does XFX 8800 GT ALpha Dog Edition has some serious heating problem, but it costs around 12.2 K and comes with some game bundled with it.

What does MSI bundle include (apart from Zalman cooler), does it have heating issues as XFX's. Please mention also mention the current price if possible.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

who told u Alpha Dog Edition from XFX has heating issue? i own it and its good. It dosent bundle with any game. I suggest the OC edition from MSI as its factory OCed. Sure u can OC it urself but will void warraty. So factory OCed is better:)

Buy the 8800GT with Seaweed Blade Cooler, much beeter cooling, though acquires some space but its worthy!

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

no 512MB until the 9600GT will have GDDR3 memory. and cards lesser than 9600GT 512MB which have 512MB memory performs slower than 256MB GDDR3 because they will have GDDR2. In short, get the 256MB version of ANY 8600GT card. if u want 512MB than get a XFX 9600GT 512MB GDDR3 for 9.2k
