@ boogyman - Buy Palit HD 4670 Rs. 5200

@ Anurag_panda - CM 390W is more than enough to handle 4650 % 4670.
It can even handle 9600GT. Recomendation : Go for Palit HD 4670 Rs. 5200.

Thanks.

Bus interface is PCI Express® 1.0 and the cards are of 2.0 will that support my MOBO. [/COLOR]

Yes they will. IIRC they would be limited by the the 1.0's bandwidth but AFAIK it more than enough for mid range cards.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Anytime topgear.

Can someone answer me:
Can my CoolerMaster eXtreme Power Plus 390W cope up with a new ATI Radeon HD4650, in addition to the configuration given in my sig.
Normally a 390W power supply wouldn't be able to cope but after all this is CoolerMaster, it should handle the card?
Also which Vendor should I choose? And some hints on cost too please. (can't go further than Rs. 5500)

No it's kk, but get HD4650, it's for 4.8k and it's like ~~ performance to HD4670 get it.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Go for Palit.

Psu Numeric is acceptable. For the gpu go for the Palit brand.

Go for the Palit brand for the GPU.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

I got my new gfx card. As suggested here, i buyed a new Palit 9500GT (1 GB DDR2), 2GB additional ram and a 320GB HDD. 256MB DDR3 version was not available at all. Got it for 3850, lamington road, mumbai. Thank you all for the support, the card is simply rocking. I'm able to play GTA4 with minimum settings even though i have a p4 3.0GHZ.
First image attached is my box.

But the model i got is quite different from the one i saw on the internet here-
*xtreview.com/addcomment-id-5946-view-Palit-9500GT.html
I got an additional HDMI port, and is has a fan as well, something which doesnot match with this website. Shopkeep said it's genuine, it's different as it's India. Also said "Fan's because it's relatively high temperature in India" Hope i'm not taken for a ride. Anyways can i confirmation? Incase this helps, my heatsink is a golden one, with a black fan in middle.

One more thing, i've got an additional 2-pin cable along with the card as in 2nd image. I'm not an experienced one in assembling GFX cards, so what's it for? The manual doesnt mention anything at all. And btw, one end goes in the graphic card.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Check palit's website. This card looks to be genuine

For the 2 pin cable It's digital audio cable to output audio over HDMI cable.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

I have foll hardware config:

Gigabyte GA-73VM-S2 (nVidia nForce 610i chipset) m/bd,
Pent 4 E4600 CPU &
XFX 8400 GS PCI-E Graphics Card
17" LCD Monitor

Would like to upgrade the Gfx Card as the present one makes too much noise after some time (about 3-4 hours general use).
Not into gaming or image/video editing. Occasionally view movies on the computer.

So, for general (non-gaming) use, what would be a good entry-level or mid-range Gfx Card that is of good quality & will be silent. Have budget of about Rs. 3500.

Thanks,

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

9500gt or 8600GT

 

[jaym_2001]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

9500gt or 8600GT

Similar from ATI?

Also, in case of ATI, will drivers be available for Linux (openSUSE 11.0 & Fedora 10) ?

 

[JojoTheDragon]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Ya drivers are availabel for linux also for ATI.

Get a fanless card. IIRC, there is a Gigabyte 8600GT which retails for less than your budget.

 

[topgear]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Palit & Sparkle has some fanless 9500GT cards ? you can try them.
These 9500GT runs cooler than 8600GT & gives better performance.
They should cost you Rs. 3500-3800.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Can someone suggest a good GPU for 5k or below? I'll be wanting to play games such as GTAIV. I do not mind if I'm not able to max out all the settings, I want the game to be playable at mid-high settings.

My PC's config:
- DG965RY MoBo
- 1GB DDR2 RAM
- C2D 6420 @ 2.13 GHz

Also, I've got a 300W PSU, will that be enough, or should I go for a PSU with a higher wattage? Thanks.

Your current cpu is just fine to run GTA4.

You can OC your cpu to get better performance though it's a major prob to oc cpu in intel boards. Also your processor's thermal specification is not so good only 60-61C.

So I'll suggest you to buy e5200 ( Rs. 3800-4000 ) or e7200/7300 (Rs. 5200-5500 ) though they are low on cache size as compared to c2d6420
but their thermal specification is much higher around 72-74C. So their OC potential is good.

If you only want to play GTA4 & similar games which are not heavy on system
then skip buying the cpu & get the followings ( they are must have to play some game like GTA4 )

To play GTA4 you need to have a gfx card like 9500GT Rs. 3800
& a new smps say colorsit 450w Rs. 1000
