Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

You will not get much performance benefit by increasing the mem speed as it's DDR2.

But still if you wants to OC then

Set the core speed to 620Mhz & The mem speed to 450Mhz.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

But if you plan to take a chance and Volt-Mod, the 8600GT core speed goes all the way to an amazing 890MHz!!!!!

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^ But I think the stock heatsink will not be able to handle that much speed.
Also as it's volt moding - actually increasing the core voltage of gpu permanently - it will generate a lot of heat which the stock heatsink will not be able to handle.

+1
IMO gains of oc'ing that card are outweighed by the risks.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Yes true, that's y I mentioned "chance". It's for those who might wanna burn their card out, or get hyper performance from it, or both.

^^ I don't think evga 9600gt comes that cheap.
He should opt for palit or zotac or sparkle 9600GT 512MB DDR3 gfx card

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

What's the cost of an NVIDIA 9 series graphics cards?

Does these 9 series fit into the PCI-E x16 slots..?

I heard 9 series work on something called PCI 2.2 slots new version only!!!

Is that true???

Please reply!!!

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^ The minimum one you could get in 9x series is 9400GT ( Rs. 2.5-2.8K ) & the maximum one you can get in in 9x series is 9800GTX+ ( Rs. 10-12K ).

9x cards are compliant with pci-e 2.0 standard but they are backward compatible with older pci-e versions like 1.0 or 1.1. So they will work on any pci-e x16 slot regardless of version.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

HI guys ,
I want to buy a gfx card , my budget is around 4k,
so far i found out that 8600 gt is my best bet,
Are there any better card within my budget?
Does 8600 gt need is own power supply, or does it use the power pci-e slot

For 4k, you may get 9500GT 512MB DDR3 for 3.2k in NVIDIA side and in ATi side, u may get HD4650 for 4.3k..

If you still want to stick with 8600GT, then get a 512MB DDR3 (for just 3.5k) variant instead of crappy 512MB DDR3 or older 256MB DDR3..

No, it doesnt need its own power supply .. If u have a unbranded 450W PSU, thats enuff to handle it.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^ thanks for the reply,

4650 seems to be a much better choice, is this card available in chennai, I usually buy from delta, I don't know whether they have palit cards or not,

I only have 400 watts intex smps would that be a problem.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Try for Tirupathi Enterprises. If not there, then go to ritchie street and enquire in RC AUTOMATION. They have all the Palit cards. An intex 400W PSU may be enuff to run it (I think so)You better ask it for the seller itself...
