Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

@raj

thanks again.......i am bit nVidia fan so my preference is 9800 GT.....now my question (here i go again ! ! !) is i am using a Zabronix Platinum 500 wat PSU.....is that sufficient.........if not then shall i go for 9600 GT (plz plz plz don't even think of suggesting to buy a new PSU )

once again thank u for ur help....

just FYI. Get 9800GT if you can find it for 5.5k. Because you get HD4850 for 7k and this one is on a different level when compared to 9800GT. anyways, if you are not ready to change that PSU and if you game on a 1280x1024 or lower resolution, just get 9600GT or HD4670 for 4.5k.

@ this time buying 9800GT is really doesn't make sense - Go for GTS250

If u r Nvidia Fan though get GTS 250 from XFX which is possibly a solid brand but little costly 8K

9800GT is not worth for this time !!

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Totally agreed. 9800GT is not at all a worthy buy.

But think 9800GT is not giving u performance as for future games - may be Nov /09 games are tend be little competitive for the Grafix cards

My choice is HD 4850 with Decent PSU !!

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

yo... can zeb400w smsps can pull 9600gt? my friend wants it.

 

[desiibond]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

hmm. don't think so. my zeb 450W PSU used to stuggle to give stable power to HD2600XT.

 

[vamsi_krishna]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Then what's the way to go. That fellow has no budget more than 600.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

My cousin also wants to buy a graphics card. However, he is an Nvidia fan and won't consider ATI. He wants to choose between GTS 250 and 9800 GTX+. Which one would be better for him? I was thining of GTS 250 as the specs are the same, but GTS 250 is smaller and requires only 1 power connector instead of two. They both consume the same power, though.

Also, he has a power supply that can provide 450W, but I am not sure about its quality. The details are as follows:

Coloursit ATX12V (450 W)
+3.3V 18A
+5V 30A
+12V 19A
-5V 0.5A
-12V 0.8A
+5VSB 2A

Is this PSU enough to run a GTS 250 or 9800GTX+ (450W is the min power required for both, as mentioned by Nvidia) or should he consider getting a better quality or higher wattage PSU?

 

[desiibond]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

both are same. GTS250 is rebranded 9800GTS+ and is a little bit fine tuned card. go for it. and the SMPS may not be enough.

Is that because the SMPS is a local one and hence may not be able to supply 450W power reliably?

Please suggest a sufficient but relatively cheap SMPS which will work with GTS 250.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

yeap!! My suggestion would be Corsair VX450W or GlacialPower 650AA or cooler master Extremepower 500W

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Oops, looks like my cousin also has 945G (perhaps 945GCL) motherboard. The GTS 250 is available for Rs 8500 only (sweet!), but as it is a PCI Express-2 card:

1. Does 945GCL have PCI-E 2 support? I couldn't find out.
2. If not, then does it make any sense to buy GTS 250?

*fingers crossed for the answer*
