Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

@KPower Mania: They mention the overall power consumption of the system and not the exact power consumption of the graphics card itself..

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

@sagargv: No improvement at all! This one runs above 120C!!
I'll have to give the card for replacement again. I wont be ol for a few more days once i give it for replacement.

Dude ur card is Michael Phelps of all 8600GT! It holds all gold medals of over heating & breaks its own record every time! May be u should shift to Antarctica or Greenland!

On a serious note, change ur card or use a custom cooler!

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Dude, sell it and buy a 9500GT or 9600GT........if u can afford, a 9800GT/

8600GT is old anyways now .

a guys updating my mobo to asus p5nmx today as told by u guys itself...
btw please tell me a good decent motherboard too to play maximum of the games in decent settings for 2-2.5 k
and yes do these support pixel shader 2.0 or 3.0
as some latest games like assasin's creed and bioshock require ver. 3.0 Pixel shader

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

while installing ATi HD4850 in an AMD config will i have 2 install an extra cooling system
or the stock cooling will suffice (which i guess only 4 fans: 1Gcard + 1Proc + 1PSU + 1@ the side panel)

I think you mean a decent grafix card ???

If so, Mercury 8600GT 256MB GDDR3 is available for 3k and is a nice card.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

hi guys ... i have one doubt about my power requirement for my grfx card..

for this config :
E7200 + 1 hdd + 1 ODD + 2 x 1 GB sticks + 9800 GT

which smps should i go for ? i dnt have much money left ...i am getting a Glaciar Star PSU (500 W) with 72% effficiency with dual 12v rails (16 + 13 A ) for Rs 1100/- is it enuf ? i cant spare more than this . plz suggest guys.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^ i'd recommend a corsair vx450W - 3.2k. . i havent heard of glaciar star psu's . but 13+16 A will be cutting it close..i doubt if it would suffice. .

 

[harryneopotter]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

the above mentioned glaciar star PSU is handling the above config (XFX 9600 GT in place of palit 9800 GT) without any problem. So let me rephrase the ques ..

Does 9800 GT requires more power than XFX 9600 GT (the one with HDMI port ) ???

Edit :
its nt Glaciar Star ...but Glacial Star ..
here is the product link

I don't have onboard gfx. I have an SLi motherboard So if i give it for replacement, then i wont be able to use the comp until i get it back.

It doesn't shut down. It doesn't underclock/slow down. Although the performance of the card reduces a lot when it heats up. Btw, this is the OCed version of 8600GT. Core runs at 620Mhz instead of 540Mhz.

Dude ur card is Michael Phelps of all 8600GT! It holds all gold medals of over heating & breaks its own record every time! May be u should shift to Antarctica or Greenland!

I'll give it for replacement again, if its as bad as this one then ill get a custom cooler.

^^^Wise decision bro!!!

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

@nvidia , it probobly underclocks if its slowing down. i think that all good 8600's are gone and they are giving u only faulty models which people returned.

do u want to get a custom cooler for that card ? he custom cooler may cost more than the card. ..

best of luck with ur 12th boards.. .i'm 2 years senior to u. . u studying state / central syllabus ?

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^Thanks sagargv. I'm in State syllabus.
I don't want to spend money on a custom cooler for this card. Will invest in a new card instead.
I used RivaTuner to check the temperatures. The clock doesn't slow down. Even ATi tool reports the same temperature(It cant display the graph! It's limited to 95C ).
I hope they have some models which are not faulty. My older 8600ESE was better than this one. Didn't cross 98C while playing games.
