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)???

Either of them wont make any significant difference. If you plan on gaming, then dont buy them. Dont get anything cheaper than the 8600GT.

Geforce 9500GT launches on the 29th

550MHz core/800MHz GDDR3


We’ve learned that Nvidia’s new entry level card will launch on 29th of July. The official name is Geforce 9500GT and this card is about to replace the 8500GT. Performance-wise, it should be faster than 8600GT. The reference card will work at 550MHz, while the GDDR3 memory works at 800MHz.

The card comes with 256 or 512MB memory, depending on the configuration, while the Shaders are clocked to 1400MHz and the DDR2 card is possible.

As expected, the memory bus is still at a modest 128-bit but there will be many variations of the card, including DDR2, DDR3 versions, HDMI and overclocked cards. There will be 256MB, 512MB and 1024MB version of the card and this all depends on the partner.

so for the casual gamers at least there is going to be a better solution than the 8600 gt
just wondering whai will be the price of 9500 gt in India

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

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.

I remember reading somewhere that they support the G80 chips too..

not definitive but still shows that there are dark clouds on the horizon for G80 chips .
@scotyard
you should definitely go with HD 4850 since it gives substantial benefit for it's price .Heat problems can fixed with a xml file edit,also a separate bios fix(look it up on forums at anandtech.com don't know about here) ,new drivers have been released and it also helps to have an extra fan or two to keep a better airflow in the cabinet.

8600M is the chip that nvidia reported to have heating issues and they are thinking of recalling all the chipsets. So, you better go for HD3450.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Thanks everybody
i'll go for ATI HD 3450

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

I have an evga 6800gs. I had once softmoded it to a quadro... nd later on had reversed the process too.

I was using it as the 6800gs itself. Yesterday i just unlocked a pixelpipeline(cannot unlock vp as it gave artifacts.. ). I think i did something else..... chose the quadro option somewher....dont exactly remember how. It asked for reboot....i dint.....

Then today when i restarted..... it was acting as if no driver were installed..... so i uninstalled the 6800gs drivers and downloaded the quadro drivers.... but when i tried, it says that no compatible device is detected.. moreover, rivatuner doesnt detect the card. Ther is no option for nvstrap nd i cant hence undo watever it was that i did.... :

This is from the diagnostic report from rivatuner :

Please help guys..... i know i must have done something idiotic....... though i had done the process earlier, i should have referred properly bfore trying it again......

Like.... is ther any way to reset everything or something..... ????

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^ i'm not sure . but i think re-flashing the BIOS of ur g-card may solve the problem.

 

[anilthomas26]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

thnks for the suggestion man...... but i think i wanna keep that option as a last resort.......

any other suggestions ppl ?????

and btw... could someone actually tell me the process of flashing the card bios ?

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

@ ssk_the_gr8
ya, but all notebook companies aren't considerate enough to offer a wide range of gfx cards like dell... other option available is a silly ati 2300 which is ages old n only direct x 9 compatible... the main question is, "a 256mb 8400m GS or a 128mb 8400m GT??" i know that a Gt is superior, but will the case b same if it is only a 128mb as compared to a 256mb card?????

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^ ur gfx card depends totally on your interface (PCI-E or AGP?), budget and intended use

PCI-E budget=Rs 8000/-
