Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

@nvidia & mukherjee thanks to you both for the support.
Yes, my hearts going for the Asus too, think that's the best option.

Oh,nvidia, for your questens, the price difference is about 2.5k and yes PCIe 2.0 is only with Asus. So going with it.

And since I'm going with a 45nm Wolfdale proccy, I will probably overclock and the E8500 can go over 4.0 GHz at air.So you're right.

our pleasure bro!
well, u r going to have some sort of custom cpu cooler of the likes ultima 120/90 or cm hyperex for ur overclocking ventures?

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

So Its Confirmed, Going with ASUS P5Q.

@mukherjee, not going to overclock right now.Will buy a CPU cooler next year perhaps and go nuts with the E8500.

Have you see this?

ASUS Express Gate
Surf the Internet in 5-second-boot time without entering Windows
With a fast bootup speed of only 5 seconds, the ASUS Express Gate offers an optional Linux OS bootup that allows you to enjoy instant access to commonly used functions like accessing the Internet, VoIP, and Web emailing without entering the OS.

Available on ASUS motherboards only 8)

And one more important thing to note is that this motherboard does not support DDR3.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

9800GT is a 55nm based card and will hence run cooler and consume less power....

@tkin
DP35DP dosent support OC'ing and so I support nvidia and mukherjee.

Haven't seen this, just overlooked it I guess. Great feature.

P.S:-The only board supporting DDR3 and DDR2 now, within my budget(8k) is the MSI P35 Platinum COM and its not as good as Asus P5Q.

DDR3 won't be mainstream till Nehalem matuarizes at 2010 perhaps, think it then.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

DDR3 should come down to around 4-5k by Q1 '09.

But if you don't mind DDR3 support, then ASUS P5Q is an excellent board. But how much are you paying for this exactly?
It does not support SLi/CF.

Its costing about 7.8K.

There's ASUS P5Q-Pro at 8.8k that supports CrossFire:- *in.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=11&l3=709&l4=0&model=2269&modelmenu=1

No, I don't care about DDR3 at all.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

I plan to buy a graphics card to play some basic games. My config is E7200 + Asus P5kPLCM, 2 GB Corsair 800 MHz, Seagate SATA 320 GB, Zebronics Bijli with 450W Zebronics PSU and AOC 19" TFT (913 FW).

I don't want to invest in cabinet / PSU right now. My budget is 3k. Please suggest me a proper card.

Tesla high computing solution lacks the ability to output images on a display ..its visual computing solution rather than gaming solution ...like quadro solutions ..

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

The Ati HD4850 although faster than 9800GTX but it runs hotter arnd 10-15 degrees
more on load and even more than dat....

so,isn't buying only the card (4850) & not the xtra cooler is risky.....purchase

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^ New 4850's from Palit and XpertVision run pretty cool and some even have a dual slot cooler for better cooling. Buy card that is manufactured in July or later.

Ya, the new Palit card called the Palit HD4850 Sonic+ Overclocking Version and the Sonic+ have dual slot cooler and they run very cool...buy the latest manufactured card and you wont go wrong.
