U can check fan speed using RivaTuner and increase it too. I suggest 70%, the best speed and reduces some 10C temperature.

Please suggest the cheapest mobo preferrably from MSI, ASUS or GIGABYTE with hybrid power for the 9800 gt gfx cards(INTEL mobos). Please give the prices also.

Take a look at these links :

For 9800GTx+ evga is recomended.

Buddy I'll suggest you to opt for palit HD4850 cards.
Look for dual slot cooler cards

For psu : CoolerMaster Extreme Power + RS500-PCARA3 500W Rs.2800
CoolerMasterExtreme Power RP-600-PCAR 600W Rs.3450
Corsair 450W Power Supply (VX450W) Rs. 3950 ( Recomended )

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

I have Zebronics 8600GT 512MB which I overclocked to 642(Core bus) and 482(memory bus) using ntune. I pushed it to the limit and I could not overclock more. For about 10 months I was using it. Now while playing GTA 4 I noticed artifacts, big ones. the whole monitor was artifact filled and i had to force reboot it . Now I am scared to overclock this thing.

Will there be any damage after the incident or is it a one-off issue ?

And I want to know whether the 8600GT can handle overclocking properly, especially this one ?

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

1. Decreased life of card
2. Any damage caused(sometimes, ur card gets fried) is not covered under warranty.
3. Increased Power Consumption
4. More heat(save nature!!!!)

AFAIK just bumping up frequency does not get you card fried.Decreased life I don't care, I mean it's not that it is going to go kaput in the next 12 months when the company selling itself offers an oc utility for the product.Power consumption who cares and about heat, man I live in a cold place and if the heat keeps me from firing up the heater, so much the better .

well, i don't know about the fan but GPU-Z shows my clock speeds as 665 & 1038mhz.

Hmm looks like I am unlucky or whatever I don't care.Anyway nice it works for you.

@vaibhav Bishnoi: Bro, if you are going to buy a card don't buy the HD4850 1GB vers because there wont be that much of an increase in performance because the chip runs out of steam at the resolutions where that size of frame buffer is needed and at low res the 512MB is adequate. Try n get the 4870 1GB version.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

I did a sort of research on Google, and found that 9800gtx+ is better than 4850, because
of the out of the box PhysX support with state of the art driver management.

also it heats up less than 4850, though 4850 has raw dx10 power.

and reliable brands like xfx, zotac etc, dont have 4850s.
asus has 4850, but expensive.

B U T , its still the complicated question.
whats for 15k ?

U dont get it do u !! XFX is partner and all of Nvidia ... Zotac & palit are the same level of company

PALIT HD 4850 & 4870 sonic are highest mid range GPU sellers in 2008 in INDIA

Well, I didn't mention that the decreased life can't be noticed at all.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Which mobo under 4k will do justice for a 9800 gtx? That's all i can afford for the mobo. ll there be any price cut from nVidia soon. ATI has released three value cards and GTX 295 is all set to release next month. So i wish nvidia cuts down the price for 9800 gtx.

 

[comp@ddict]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

9800GTX is no longer there, and if there, it's for 20k.

U dun need to wait, GTX260 55nm is launching by Tuesday, and the price wud be 199$ ~
So one month and u'd hav a 10-12k GTX260.
About the mobo, tell me ur procc, INTEL OR AMD!!!!

INTEL -Gigabyte G31 @ 3k
AMD - Jeyway 780G @ 4k

Core 2 Duo E8400. What happened to 9800GTX?

Just curious as to what do you mean.BTW the prices for gfx cards as compared to other countries have seldom any relation to prices in India, the tax thing and price hikes by sellers are just ridiculous.
@Manickaraj:

Any mobo supporting PCI-E x16 is good and if you wish to SLI in the future buy a mobo that supports it and BTW don't buy a IGP mobo beacuse it virtually guarantees a zero OC(seeing as you have an Intel processor with AMD it is a little different story).

Spend a little more & get MSI P35 NEO-F For Rs. 4600 or Palit P35 A For Rs. 4300.

A rig with p35 chipset, C2D 8400 & 9800GTX+ with 2x1GB ddr2 ram in dual channel will give you far more better performance & ocing capability than a mobo under 4K.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^+1

And if you buy P35A, I suggest you get the HD4850 as P35A has CrossFire ability which you can use later.

It died, there's it's big bro 9800GTX+

So buy these after 1 month cuz prices will drop.
1. Palit P35A @ 4.2k
2. HD4870 ~10-12k

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

It's just an expected price drop which may happen after the release of GTX 295 and GTX 260 55 nm version.

 

[damngoodman999]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

GTX 295 still fails with HD 4870X2 , poor NVIDIA their response to HD4870 failed


The ATI has released the crossfire HOTFIX for the HD 4850 & 4870 , now the crossfire works with all games fine

Dude GTX295 beats HD4870X2 at every step, and both are at 499$ price.
But HD4850x2 is 299$ an performs as good(even better) than HD4870X2 and thus comparing HD4850X2 and GTX295, boo to GTX295
