Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

don't worry about pci-e 1 or 2. you won't find much difference for GTS250. all you have to worry about is whether the pc has PCI-E slot or not.

It has a PCI express slot alright :) (And if I am wrong, I will eat grass and buy a new mobo, proccy and whatever else is necessary :cool:)

Well, my cousin has gone to the comp shop to get the GTS 250 and the power supply. Corsair is not available, but i-ball and Cooler Master is. I will take a look at the Cooler Master models available and then decide which one to take.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Well, I (or my cousin - it's not final yet :D) bought XFX GTS 250 512 MB for Rs 8500.

Power supply was a bit tricky, and I couldn't find a single rail 12V PSU. So we settled for a 600W Cooler Master Extreme Duo with 2 12V rails with 18 amps each. Hopefully, that won't be a problem.

Now, it's game time :D

@bippukt, 8.5k for GT250 is a bit high given that you can now get HD4870 for 9.3k

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

How is MSI as a brand?
My friend just bougth an MSI 4850...

I have a MSI P45 Platinum Motherboard.

Hardware point of view it is pretty good.

But their support manuals (translated from mandarin/chinese), and driver disks (do not auto fire, have to search your component set ups) are bad.

What all you got in the GPU bundle..how much was the cost..!

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

@Arnab, Just get GTX275 or HD4890 which are cheaper than 2x HD4770 and gives same or better performance.

I know it's not the best, but I couldn't find either HD4850 or 4870 here. Besides, I have got a liking for Nvidia gfx cards. And I also got good reviews for GTS250.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

I've been using my gtx 260 sonic for a 45 days and can report the following,

All at 1600x900 max settings, max af

Crysis 24fps no aa
far cry 2 46fps full aa
half life 2 240fps no aa (aa screws up the hud)
STALKER 115fps no aa (aa screws up the crosshair)
Dead space 130fps full aa
Call of duty 2/4 90fps full aa
GRID 55fps full aa.
Cryostasis demo 16fps no aa (game crash no matter what, i'm guessing demo trouble)
Codename panzers 18fps no aa.

3d mark vantage 1440x900, performance, no aa- 10295/29506

The performance while not at par with the online scores, is still satisfactory. I think the cpu is a huge bottleneck. Especially in crysis. I get a steady 24 no matter what happens on screen. Even aa makes no difference.

Conclusion: If you're getting a 260, get a better processor. :)

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Nice Little Review :p

One suggestion : Get a good cpu cooler & OC the hell out of your CPU. OC it to 3.6Ghz at-least & the bottleneck should be gone :p

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

ah okay. atleast you should have bargained!! GTS250 512 MB card is available for 7k and not for 8.5k. For that price you could've got 1Gb card.

I couldn't find an HD4850 here, nor a Corsair or even a decent CM PSU, so you can guess what the situation is here. The 1 GB card was available for 10400, which is too expensive IMO, especially since I have a 1440X900 resolution display.

The games are running great on my cousin's Core 2 duo PC, so I am having great fun. Far Cry 2@ultra high is great fun :D

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

that's damn costly. where did you buy that card from?

From Business Infosys in Lucknow - couldn't find anyone else and the guy never tries to skim you. I told him that it was expensive but he said that was the only price he could get it at.

He has never sold anything above 9800GT by the looks of it - I had to tell the guy who installed the GPU that he needed to connect the 6 pin power cable into the graphics card or else it won't run.

Things were so much simpler when I was in Mumbai - I just went to Lamington road with list and I got it at the right price :)
