Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^ 4850 will give a lot of improvement. but ur cpu will greatly be a bottleneck. i recommend a full upgrade.


@zishi , what psu do u have ? is 8k only for g-card or g-card+psu ?

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Try adding an additional fan near the PCI-e slot. It might cool down the card a little..
And 88 isn't all that hot.. It'll work fine..

My damn Electric Stove 8600GT ran up to 127C :|

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

@zishi , what brand is ur psu ? amperage on 12 volt rail ?

en8600GT is good if u can get it for 4k or 5k max. .not worth a penny more than that.

the best bet is radeon 4850 which is at 11k. if u cant increase budget / wait for prices to fall , then the desperate move would be to get 8800GT / 9600GT .

@anilthomas26 , sorry dude . i'm out of ideas .. ask a user called dominator . he seems to know more about soft modding. make a separate thread and hope that more experienced users will reply.

@nvidia , 127C ????????? and ur card dint reduce clock speeds ? or pc shut down ? this makes me think that the temp reader maybe faulty and the temps are actually well within limits.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

I have one question...:confused:

if i upgrade my system with a good graphics card...lets say ati 4850
2GB RAM....
Decent C2D Processor...
Decent mobo...

my proccy & mobo is not very costly...so...will this config can bcome a mid-range
gaming machine....if so...:D


OR wats the priority u have 2 give 2 build a config 4 mid-range...atleast

Here is my priority:

1 ---> Good GCard such as Ati HD4850
2 ---> Processor any Core2Duo
3 ---> Cheap Mobo which supports the above card...pci-e 2.0
4----> 2GB RAM

is this correct :rolleyes:

Not at all..I think cheap mobos doesnt support pci 2.0...:D . So it couldnt be a midrange gaming machine for anyway..U must go for a good mobo which atleast cost above 7k..or more to build a mid range gaming PC:D

Yep.. Not joking.. It didn't reduce the clock speeds, instead i lowered it to 540Mhz(Core) and the temperature went down by a small margin.. And comp didn't shut down, no warning messages nothing. I checked it with RivaTuner. Ill try ATi tool and tell you what temperatures i get..

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Hello friends.

I have a problem regarding warranty of XFX 6800 GS.

I have bought XFX 6800 GS card from Kolkata ( savera marketing agency pvt ltd, date-28/06/2006) ( 3 years warrenty in India from Rashi)

Now my card is not working so I went to Rashi peripherals pvt ltd for warranty.
But they are saying that 6800 Gs card is out of production and I should take 8400 Gs(512 MB) as a replacement.

Now according to me 8400Gs card is much inferior to 6800 Gs, but they are not giving me any other choice.

I have no idea what should I do ?

PLEASE PLEASE HELP.

THANK YOU.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

@nvidia , that will be interesting. .. try using a thermometer if u have a non-clinical one.

@simantasarani , no fair. 6800GT is almost same performing as 8600GT. . so 6800GS should atleast be worth 8500GT ..

I would advise you to go for the ati4850 and save some bucks on the processor and mobo. Go for an E7200 C2D, and as far as a board supporting pci 2.0 is concerned, i heard a pci 16x is more than sufficient to accomodate that card. I would suggest you this board.
