Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

do i really need that much ?

PSU calculator says 319W so I thnk 450W or 500W shd be enough.

What say?

yes. . but most psu's in the range of 500bucks offer very low efficiancy and due to capacitor aging psu efficiancy keeps dropping.
i recommended cooler master 600W coz difference in price between 500W and 600W is low. even a CM 500W will do.
i stand by what i said earlier.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

I have a query on troubleshooting my graphics card. The thing is I recently got a Zebronics 8800GT and a Cooler Master Extreme 600w PSU. Whenever I start a graphics intensive game, sometimes the screen hangs at the main menu or when the game has loaded and the PC hangs up as well. This happens every once in a while but I dont want it to happen because it doesnt seem to be normal stuff.
Please help me out if possible. I have the latest Nvidia drivers loaded and Iam using Windows XP Service Pack 2 with the following config:
Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 @ 2.2 Ghz
2x 1 GB Transcend DDR2RAM @ 800Mhz
Intel DG965RY Motherboard
Samsung Syncmaster 740NW LCD Widescreen

Thanks in advance. :)

Offtopic:
I have a similar configuration as yours. Just 2.0Ghz C2D. I am upgrading to 8800gt so I wanted to know how much performance you can really see. Please note that I will be using 1680 * 1050 resolution.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

I'm looking to buy an AGP graphics card. The dealer at a local hardware store said he has 7300GT 512Mb for Rs.3475/- I'm more inclined to buy a 512MB 7600GS. But I don't think its available in India.

Which is the best agp card currently available in mumbai?

I have a friend overseas who might be able to mail me the 512MB 7600GS for Rs.5000/- But I'm not sure whether I'll have to pay extra customs duty or other taxes if I have my friend mail the card to me. Anybody knows about this?

I'll be getting a new comp around diwali. But I want to play caesarIV right now and I don't want to wait for that 7600GS.

Will the 512MB 7300GT be able to handle caesarIV?

While searching I came across a post where somebody was wanting to sell an AGP 7600 with a warranty but I cant find that thread and I dont remember the date of that post anyway. It might have been sold by now but just incase it hasn't, reply here.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

the reason behind this could be your smps which is low in watts or it could be UPS which restricts maximum usage by smps.for safety sake you should have 550watts smps and 700watts ups
