Graphics Cards related queries here.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

@rajkumar_pb - Thank GOD you are here online and thanks for the suggestion

but i was reading your discussions on graphic cards and understood that i need go ahead with 9600 GT or Palit HD4670 , but you have suggested me ASUS 8600 GT!! Are they kinda equal? Coz i dont want to stick with a low performing graphic card at the end . I can rather shell out a few Ks more for a better one kindly advice and do tell me on what brands are available on the 9600 GT and HD4670? and also tell me what other equivalents i can try out within that cost range and performance?

hey cool. i didn't notice you were from chennai too hey rajkumar am from velachery and my workplace is navallur. and since challenger computers is one of the biggies here and they have a branch in velachery i thought i can get it from here.. what say? actually i dont mind scanning ritchie street, but one more complication for me is that i need to get everything from the same shop (and thats a MANDATE as my dad pays for it ) any suggestions on which shops i can check??

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

I prefer Palit HD4670, if u choose HD4670..and again EVGA 9600GT KO Edition if u choose 9600GT.... HD4670 costs abt 5.8k and 9600GT one is 7k..

The 8600GT is a low end card..Y i suggest that for u is simple..Coz ur budget..U want everything within 20k, which is impossible...So i suggest that..If u able to shell out few more Ks then go for 9600GT or HD4670, whatever u wish or available here...

Thanks Rajkumar
i will go for either go for Palit HD4670 or EVGA 9600GT. i think i will go for Palit HD4670 as its a bit cheaper. BUt performance wise is there a difference between the 2?

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Ofcourse not...The HD4670 was released to compete with 9600GT..(Correct me if i am wrong)..So juz go for HD4670 w/o any second thought....

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

@ rajkumar_pb & beta tesing - I checked with the available shops here and found out that I can get the following config,
Kindly check on whether I can go with this config,
Intel C2D 7300 (semms it is the latest – as he says) and should I go for 2.53 Ghz or 2.66 Ghz?
Transcend 2 GB 800 mhz DDR2 Ram – I couldn’t get Kingston here – is transcend ok?
or can you recommend any shops in chennai where i can get the config you guys suggested? i checked with IT Depot, & challenger computers.(the biggies here)

E7300 - 2.66Ghz
E7200 - 2.53Ghz

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

@ comp@addict - hi! thanks for the clarification

@ rajkumar_bp - sure thanks buddy. i'll go for the HD4670 only

ok fine. I think i'll settle for the following config then... kindly check if this config will go well

Intel Core 2 Duo 2.53 Ghz
Transcend 2 GB DDR2 800 Mhz RAM
Palit P35A motherboard
Palit HD4670 Card
Cooler Master EP 500W
Zebronics cabinet
APC 500 VA UPS
Viewsonic 22' Monitor
Microsoft M/M keyboard

And will i be able to play most of the latest games with this config?

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Well, u still hav an option:

5.5k HD4670
6k 9600GT

In my opinion, 9600GT does much much betetr in performance, and u have CM500W PSU, so no problem in 9600GT.
+ 9600GT is super Overclockable if u know how to do it(Performance comparable to 9800GTX and 8800GTX)

If u want advice on Overclocking click this vvvv

^+1

9600GT is much better than HD4670 for a minimal price increment like 500bucks or 1k. I vote for EVGA 9600GT KO or Xpert Vision 9600GT.

 

[comp@ddict]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Yeah, XpertVision is 6k
EVGA is 6.5k, I guess, but AFAIK factory OCed

 

[Psychosocial]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^Yup.

 

[arun thulasidharan]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

thanks a lot for your input guys

But both EVGA 9600GT KO or Xpert Vision 9600GT will go good with my config rite (given above)

Actually, the HD4670 was released to compete with the 9500GT.
The 9600GT still excels in performance.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^9600GT beats the HD4670 by quite a margin so u r right. But it beats 9500GT.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Hi guys, this is my first post. I need some advice regarding buying a graphic card.
earlier i was planning to buy 4670, but now i see that 512mb gddr3 9800gt(palit,zotac) is available for 8k(lynx).
how much is the performance difference between the two?
also, my friends who are CUDA programmers say that cuda is gonna be the next big thing in a few months.i m a little confused.should i go with 9800gt?

 

[NIGHTMARE]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

cuda is a big but there is time for that put 1000 bucks more and buy palit 4850

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

If you don't wanna spend 1-1.5 K more then go with 9800GT. you won't regreat it.

But it's recomended to go with palit 4850 as nightmare said. It's better than 9800gt, 9800Gtx & as of now it's the best VFM card on the market.

I don't think that I will need that much firepower as I'm gonna game @1440*900 only.
besides, at my place 4850 will cost no less than 10k and i'll also hv to spend on psu.one thing that i wanna know is, how much is the performance difference between 4670 and 9800gt and also between 9800gt and 4850.
one more thing, I have a 450w psu(some local company).It gives 18A on 12V rail,I don't know its efficiency though.Will it suffice if i go with 9800gt or 4670?

And 1 more thing.. why on earth is 8800gt costlier than 9800gt?is 8800gt better?
