Are baba, GTX 275 is way better than HD 4890 and if u have seen enough reviews then u must have understood that GTX 275 runs well in CRYSIS types of high requiring games than the latter and these types of games r the future platforms. Even there are lot more games runs on the platform based on NVIDIA than the ATI. And there is also the field of PHYSX associated with GTX 275 which enhances the gaming experience. Whereas ATI's DX 10.1 is not very desirable as it doesn't help boosting the FPS by much apart from very few games, which are based on DX 10.1 (like HAWX).

This is why I bought my GTX 275(Zotac) instead of 4890.

And for PALIT Vs. XFX, I must say PALIT is no match for XFX. Palit is a very gd brand, but it can't simply outperform XFX with it's large reputation and PALIT doesn't even provide a much needed warranty of 3yrs. or more with a decent bundle. This is why there offerings are cheaper. One more thing, custom cooling doesn't always mean that it will cool the gpu efficiently and PALIT's cooling doesn't work well in a case which doesn't have much air flow. U must have seen that the cooling fans actually flow out the hot air from gpu inside the case which is pretty undesirable for cases with low air flow. Whereas the referrence cooler flows out the air outside the case, which is good for keeeping ur system cool.

Current Price of GTX 280 from XFX??

n plZZZ

Tell me Temperature Manging tool for inside of PC....plzzzzzzzzzzzz help req ASAP

I know u have GTX 280, so why do u bother to know the current price ??
(Is it for SLI )

The GTX 280 is currently overwhelmed by it's cheaper sibling GTX 275 which is around 18k for non PALIT brands. (PALIT is different ).

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

With a cm 690...' how can ur temp b like this....' but as r using gtx 280 this might b the culpit...

There r some rigs with temp @ 72 c high in load and 60 c in normal...'

So I think ur temp is ok but lets c what others say...if u r concern then add a cold cathode light kit @ 350...?

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

@ Niraj As I said earlier, go for GTX 275 for 18k and it's better than GTX 280.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

4890 @ 15600 makes it a even sweeter choice

 

[Silicon Chip]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

You can reach 860/1050 on 4870 itself.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

but the 275 @ 16800 16900 types is more expensive.

@ Niraj As I said earlier, go for GTX 275 for 18k and it's better than GTX 280.

Well as far as Comparing the two cards....
GTX 280 outperforms GTX 275....GTX 275 no doubt gives Fckall gaming xperience but still there is no game in the GenY to show us difference.....

I have XFX 280 GTX 1024MB DDR3 XXX GX-280N-ZDD9.....
n even GTX 295 luks bitterly at it apart from memory interface which is 2 gig

BUT yes GTX 275 outperforms the Standard GTX 280 .....

Moreover XFX gives Better Warranty time of 3 Years n ZOtak doesnt....

If U get into the Shopkeepers Like AMARBIR lynx ......He is a damn gud fan of PALIT n ZOTAK....But ds two r only priced low n Performance Wise XFX goes far ahead....
Wait for a year n feel the difference...

I have xperienced the Service from Rashi regarding my cards n dats y a DIE hard fan of it.........
If u ever have any problem regarding building a rig contact them n they will guide you....Tho at DIGIT we r enough Mature yet Dealers kno better if u kno them in an even better way....

Palit n ZOtak r getting themselves established here in india n thats y giving away easy to go MONEY schemes....
Arre Yaar,
Who likes to sell its product at 18k when odr company is selling it at whopping 28k or 34k???
NO ONE....

the r giving NO bundles of games vid cards of worth 18k too.....(i may b wrong here)

STiLL Both of them rock but
Drooling over the card vid Money in mind doesnt give a gud luk to a HARD CORE GAMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But final words

YES GTX 275 is a g8 gaming card vid Performance n Money value in g8 balance!

Get palit or zotac which one is cheaper & a VX450W is more than enough .

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Hi Guys,

I am new to this forum, I have recently bought a TAG 9500gt 1gb ddr2 graphics card. (i am not sure if its ddr2 or ddr3 but i am guessing it is ddr2 cos i am not aware of the model with 1gb of ddr3 atleast). However i am facing a serious problem with it. When i plug the card in the motherboard, it works fine. However, when i install the driver, the computer becomes extremely sluggish and one by one each application freezes. on reviewing the task manager, the system application shows the bulk of cpu usage. However, the pc becomes more or less useless as nothing will work after about 5 mins. The pc will not shut down either. I had formatted my hard disk before installing this card and reinstalled windows twice after this (because i thought maybe its a problem with my windows). I tried updating the card driver but that didnt work.

My comp is a Pentium core 2 duo 1.8, 4gb 667mhz ddr2 ram, intel dg965ry motherboard. I have a viewsonic motherboard and i have to use the serial to dvi converter to connect it to the card.

Please help me since i cannot understand if there is a problem with the card or the driver or my motherboard.

Regards,
Brajesh

That's strange. Are you sure it's coming from the gfx card. Not from the cpu fan or speakers.

Coz CPU fan & gfx cards fans rotates at greater speed when they are in full load. If you sure that the noise is coming out from gfx card then the fan may be fitted loosely. So when the fan rotates at full speed - you hear the strange noise. Just monitor the temp of this card. If you can bear the noise then welcome but I think you should RMA the card for a better future.

Download & run gpu-z to know the mem type of ur gfx card.
This a classic prob with nvidia ( old ) drivers.
Just download all the latest drivers for mobo chipset, audio & of course for the gfx card. Uninstall all the old drivers, clean the reg & junk files with ccleaner & install those new drivers. BTW, install mobo chipset driver 1st & then install gfx card driver.

If that does not work Re-install a fresh copy of windows, update it & then install all the downloaded latest drivers. There is nothing to worry about
