Well BIG means best in graphics...atleast they claim so.But its very similar to XFX Brand.Standerd budget solution.All cards are made with N vidia reference design so u wont find tweaks done by MSI nd Asus nd so in it

The packeging is also very basic.Only a driver cd,Quick installation guide and cables.Thats it..most probably u wont get any bundled full version game with it
The service is ok nd so the performance.If u are looking for a good budget solution then BIG or XFX are the answers.
U can go 4 it.Its not bad

I agree that it is not a bad deal but you can just not compare BIG with XFX as in many cases XFX can even outperform ASUS or gigabyte cards !!!

So no comparsion bwt BIG and XFX Cards !!!

which is better
nvidia 6200 256mb 64 bit AGP
or
nvidia 6200 128mb 128 bit AGP

i wanted to know this because, i was searching for nvidia 6200 128mb 128 bit AGP in nehru place but coudnt find one.
so, i bought nvidia 6200 256mb 64 bit AGP and i just wanted to know did i make any mistake

 

[Ringwraith]

yeah nishant..u prolly did make a mistake! 256 mb offers no benifit over 128mbs with a low-end/64 bit interface card like urs

Which graphics card to buy?

I've recently bought a PC with the following configurations:
1. AMD Athlon 64 (939) 3200+ Processor
2. MSI RS480 (IGP) Motherboard
3. Digi-Giga 256x2 400 MHz DDR (Dual Channel)
4. Seagate Barrucuda 80 GB SATA 7200 rpm HDD
5. LiteON Combo Drive
6. Samsung SyncMaster 793 MB 17" FFST CRT Monitor
7. APC BackUps 500 Ups

Now I intend to buy a PCX Graphics Card under Rs 8K. Which one to choose, Radeon or GeForce? I've seen many reviews praising the GeForce 6 series but since the mobo chipset is based on ATI Radeon, will using a GeForce card affects the graphics performance? Will using the Radeon card yield best graphic performace instead of the GeFroce ones considering my budget.
Also, when is a graphic card card supporting DX 10(?) likely to be introduced, in the near future? If so, should I wait for it?

I bought an XFX Geforce FX 5200 graphics card for a price of 2200 Rs. Is the price ok?

 

[drvarunmehta]

If you stretch your budget just a little bit you can get a 6600GT. There won't be any issues using a nVidia card on a ATI mobo.

 

[vinayasurya]

I want a budget graphics around 2000-3000. Which is better ATi or Geforce? Also plz mention approx. prices

 

[mohit]

u can get the BIG Geforce 6600gt 128 mb for 9250/- .. its a very good card and people claim it is the same as BFG. it costs a thousand bucks more than your budget but its recommended.

 

[nishantv2003]

i just scored 1752 3dmark03 marks (without any tweeking) with my BIG geforce 6200 256mb 64bit agp.
what r urs comments

Most probably there is no 128 bit version from xfx.U just may have to get a 256 mb one...
Correct me if Im wrong

 

[nishantv2003]

why the hell so low scores just '1752 3dmark03 marks '
my pc is up-to-date amd athlon 64 3000+, msi k8mm-ilsr- 512 x2 kingston ram 400fsb, 'BIG' nvidia 6200 256mb 64 bit AGP and 80gb sata hdd.
please tell me what to do

 

[nishantv2003]

is there any way to increase my GPU's performance.
i just wanted to play nfs undergrond 2 with full graphic details on 1024x 768 resolution.

ur card is a TC i think .... or is it ????

Moreover the 64bit mem. interface is a serious bottleneck ... ....

is there any way to increase my GPU's performance.

The only way to increase the gpu performance is by oc'ing it .... or play the game at low res.

 

[sidewinder]

my 9250 se gives 3645 3d marks.may be a tc one.

 

[nishantv2003]

what is a TC
and i got 3066 3dmarks(03) by running the test on 800x600 mode.
any comments.

 

[paul_007]

my frnd went to purchase 6600 grafix card but he found many variants like
gainward 6600 gt, MSI 6600, XFX 6600 and two three more.

what is the difference betwwen all the above cards, do the performance of the above cards differ? If yes why so , cause all these cards have same graphic procc.?

thnx 4 reply.

what is a TC

TC -> Turbo Cache ..... it is a tech. by which the gpu is able to share system ram via the pcix architecture when its video memory runs short ....

And the 9250se is a Radeon card ... no way it can support TC ... only the newer low-end pci16x cards like the X300 from Ati can use a similar method termed Hyper-Memory for the Radeon series ....

and i got 3066 3dmarks(03) by running the test on 800x600 mode.

only bench ur rig at default settings ....

Here's a bit of info on the 6600 variants :

6600
no. of pixel pipelines : 8
core clock : 350 MHz
mem. clock : 500 MHz
video mem. : 128/256 MB
mem. type : ddr
mem. interface : 128 bit

6600GT
no. of pixel pipelines : 8
core clock : 500 MHz
mem. clock : 1000 MHz
video mem. : 128/256 MB
mem. type : ddr3
mem. interface : 128 bit

So a 6600GT is better than the 6600 in actual performance ..... different companies sell similar cards ... i.e. similar cores ... with their own tweaks if any ....
