Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^ huge noise , probobly due to g-card fan which may be driver controlled . so before u boot into windows and the driver is operational , the fan is at full speed.. thus the niose . .frequent hangs ? what psu do u have ? what are the temps of ur card while gaming / running ati tool ?

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Can anybody tell does hd4850 has any kind of inbuilt physics processing unit (ppu).

nvidia officially anounced that the geforce 8 series GPU onwards will be able to use the ageia physics after its updated with the specified drivers [but drivers hasnt been relesed that support all GPUs they boasted, but expect it soon]. Its actually a s/w based Physics, which is only enabled if it has a geforce 8/9/GTX 200 GPU.

ATI also support such physics processing,...yup, but not ageia, but havok. ATi too boasts that their card can work with havok pgysics [both havok I and II]. But it up to the game developers that which engine shud they use..

btw HD 4850 is now bout 9.7k

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

But I've read on the legit review site that Nvidia 9800GTX+ have built in physics engine in it's gpu.

btw HD 4850 is now bout 9.7k

WoW! Now that's really a great pricing.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

they are just going to use the extra processing power on gpu's to do the physics processing and no gfx card has a ppu,could you link where you read about the 9800gtx+ having a physics engine,btw nvidia has already shown physics processing (only demo to show that gpu was much better soln than doing it on nehalem chip shown off by intel doing physics processing around a month back)and nvidia has bought Physx and are developing middleware that enbles physics processing and a guy at ngohq has hacked nvidia drivers to run the software on ati card and ironically nvidia is helping them.The guy linked to in two posts above has only ordered the HD 4850 and doesn't have it yet and if I go by my experience, computer and computer peripheral sellers in most cases don't have a clue of what they are selling , that guy is going to pay a little more than Rs9.7k.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^ if u want to play games at that resolution , get the 9800GX2. if not , any nvidia 8 series card will do. get a 8400GS - 2.5k

offtopic :this maybe particularly helpful for u nvidia ( guy who has electric stove ) .

frying egg with 9800GX2.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^Omfg!
I bet my card can fry eggs better than that
@chintan786: If you want to do some gaming rarely, then get the 8600GT atleast. Otherwise 8400GS should be good enuf.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

could you link where you read about the 9800gtx+ having a physics engine

Ok. Ok. I understood & I have read that legit review carefully again.

NVIDIA shrunk the die from 65nm to 55nm and increased the frequency of the core and shaders, while reducing the cost and added driver support for PhysX

Nvidia has only driver support for the physx ( but no hw support ) . Right ?

Here is the Link :

[nvidia]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^Yeah thats right.. Only software support.
Btw, is the physx driver for 8600GT out?

 

[chintan786]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Thanks to Sagarv and Nvidia... i hope u are recommending this keeping two monitors setup in mind... no i don't want to play game with tht... it is for Charting and trading purpose.

warm regards

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

yep , the 8400GS has 2 outputs ( two dvi or 1dvi + 1 analog ) . this will be more than enough. pick the card which has 2 dvi outputs. .

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Just saw the debut prices of nVidia's latest offer on yantraonline.in:

POV GTX 260: Rs. 22,870/- all inclusive
POV GTX 280: Rs. 34,445/- all inclusive

I think 4870 is still a better deal.

 

[topgear]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Thanks for the price update. I was not aware that Nvidia GTX260 was out
But still they are way too much costly considering Ati 4850 & 4870.

Yes it should be ...(VFM)
4870 for 19k & GTX 280 for 34k .
Nearly 2X price difference.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^And the difference in performance is very less..

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

i want to buy a graphic card. i need it for maya, digital fusion, after effect,photoshop.
i have to work on maya vfx i.e particles,dynamics(it needs hardware rendering)
my budget is Rs5000

this is my present config.
Intel P4 2.8gz with H.T
915GAV Intel orignal mobo
1.75gb of DDR1 ram (planning to buy another 1gb stick and replace it with my 256Mb stick)
250gb+320gb sata hdd.
1 Sony DVD writer
1 LG CD writer
Colorsit Power Supply 400w- >>> i have posted about this at *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=93744.

i am not planning on upgrading the whole system now.
and i know quadro is the way to go for applications like Maya but buying a quadro is not an option unless one comes for upto Rs5000.

i have some questions-
1. i have been told that if i am unable to use a quadro then i should just use any low end graphic card because a gaming graphic card will not help in maya.so buying a higher end card does not make sense,some have also suggested me to go for the 7XXX series card as they cost only rs2000.how true is it?? and now i am not into gaming that much.(time hee nahi hai)

2.i have heard a lot about 8600gt on the forum.but don't know about the ATI cards in my budget.so pls give some ATI models also.and i have heard it is better to go for ATI models for Maya because it helps in some way.how true is it???

so pls suggest a gfx card for my purpose.also if anyone has idea how much 1gb DDR1 ram (prefrebly transcend)costs pls tell.
thank u.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Hey GUys!!!!!! which one wil giv a better boost up?? geforce 8400M GS(256 mb) or 8400M GT(128 mb)???

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

@topgear
Nvidia has only driver support for the physx ( but no hw support )

Yeah right.

@nvidia
Btw, is the physx driver for 8600GT out?

Sorry to say but only GFX cards with G92 chips are going to get benefit of the physx support in drivers if and when such drivers are released.
