^^You can get a Zotac 9600GT 512MB for 6.5-7k which is better then this.
Will this card work in hybrid crossfire mode with motherboard's IGP
thanks
^Ya. Intel's old habbit of poking nose into everything. I think it will be good. Read the article "This Means War" in Digit. Nice architecture by Intel.
with a multi gpu configuration , one entire gpu will be dedicated for physX calculations . .if not 8400GS , a 8600GT is certainly enough to do physX calculations while the 9800GTX+ or gtx 280 do the graphics. . even by ur calculations, i think 8400GS will come upto atleast 10% performance as of gtx280. .so that should be enough for physX.
SLI-Ready Graphics Card: This should be fairly obvious - if you don't have an SLI-ready video card, you can't run SLI! In order to enable SLI, the two video cards must be of the same family and model. For example, two 8800 GTXs could run in SLI while an 8800 GTX and an 8800 GTS could not because there are numerous discrepancies between them that could not be compensated for despite the fact they are closely related. Unlike the days where SLI had just been brought back from the dead, the two cards do not have to be from the same manufacturer, have the same BIOS, be the same speed or even have the same amount of VRAM.
Thanks for doing that, much appreciated.Sorry for not responding right away.@ imgame2 & tkin
i contacted rashi kolkata 2de....they dont have the new 9800GTX+ in stock,the older 9800GTX is avlabl @ 15k+tax
tirupati hv confirmed that they hv both gecube & palit hd4850 cards w/ 3yr warranty @11k+tax
they dont yet have the palit hd4850 sonic and neither can they bring on order
called up lynx store 2de,talkd wid amarveer......he confirmed the superb zotac rates.....and he too confirmed that the palit hd4850 sonic isnt yet available anywhere......too bad for imgame2!!!
another thing.....its possible to get warranty(& rma if reqd) on Zotac card from aditya branch in Kolkata,even if the card is bought from lynx....jus a call is needed.....
still, d 9800gtx+ is a very long card,10.5 inches long,i havent figured out hw wud i fit dat into my zeb antibiotic case evn if i buy it.....may just hv to go wid the hd4850!!!

^^ i'm not talking about SLI .. for a multi gpu config , u need two pcie slots , thats all .. no need for a SLI or X-fire enabled mobo ( although this will also work ). .
definitely u can use 8400GS and 9800GTX+ as multi gpus .. they wont work under SLI. thats all. the two gpu's wont do AFR. . only one renders the graphics and other idles. . here i'm suggesting that the idle gpu be used for physX. .
If nVidia does'nt recover soon ATI will have the market to it's own and the prices of ATI products will rise again and the company will not invest time persuing new features related to gaming.It's the competition that drives the market.Long live ATI-nVidia war(Hope Intel joins soon)It's not just the 4800. It's the problem with few nVidia chipsets that resulted in decline of nvidia's share value.
anyways, I still do hope that nVidia recover and be competitive.
Now that Intel is getting ready with Larrabee and AMD getting ready with Fusion, nVidia needs a miracle to save itself.

Rs 10,000/- GTX280 anyone?
thanks for the link...^^ *www.guru3d.com/article/physx-by-nvidia-review/3
I'm thinking of getting either the Cooler Master Ammo 533 or the Centurian 534+ cabinet.If anyone had ever used one of these could you confirm whether the 10.5 inch long 9800gtx/gtx+ will fit in this case.
Also, can anyone suggest a cabinet that could fit the card(~3,500/- and P.S.U not needed).
P.S-I have made up my mind about buying this card.So please don't suggest ATI HD4870(I know it's more powerfull but also costs more).
How about 9800GX2 ?thanks for the link...
and that should work ...but still that config is not efficient just going for PhysX.i would prefer two same cards running in SLI,i guess two 9800gtx+ would do better even on PhysX than above config......but still this is not for me ....as frankly physics calculation will get better in a year or so and more efficient than they are now ...perhaps a dual core where one works for graphics computation and other for physics computation.
How about 9800GX2 ?
So which is the high end graphics card for now? 280 GTX ? what happened to 9800GTX?
