Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

afaik, it's 200$ and 300$. Anyways, let's just wait and see if that shakes up the pricing of other cards too.

Hi everyone,
Can you just turn down the fan using the Nvidia software in GPU cooling? It is a bit terribly loud and would like to turn it down a bit. I have the latest Nvidia control panel Just want to make my desktop quiet. My CPU fan and the SMPS fan is not making a single noise, but the GPU's sound is very irritating.
What should i do?Please help.
thanks

Fatalcore.
*Same problem is with my Brothers GPU too, he uses XFX 9500GT.Please help.

And here is the article for reference...!

Respective Translations would be:

Chiptakt : Core clock
speichertakt : Memory Clock
rechenleistung: computational power
texelfullrate: texture fill rate
texelfullrate: pixel rate
speicherbandbreite: memory bandwidth

Now what to watch out for:
1. Power consumption.
2. Gaming benchmarks.
3. Prices (of courses) : New Parts vs Legacy parts (read 4XXX series)
4. nVidia GT3XXX series release

Enjoy...!

Lets see what happens, when they trickle down to India.

You could give RivaTuner a try. It is good for fan control/OC/GPU monitoring and has profile settings.

Though do not immediately lower the fan settings --- it could be that your chips are running hot. Monitor the temperatures...?

*www.chip.in/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=50526#p453757Is ATI HD3850 AGP card still available in market?

I need to get a Graphics Card for my old system. The motherboard supports only AGP and after searching on the net I came to a conclusion that HD3850(AGP) is the best AGP card. Is it still available in the market in India? If yes what will be the estimated price? My SMPS is 400W, will it be able to handle it?

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^ Yup, you can try theitwares.com

they have sapphire HD3850 which is Rs. 8.5K maybe

Don't forget to try lynx-india.com. There you may find it at a lower price.

I think you need a good 450W PSU with 19A ( atleast ) in +12V rail rating to handle HD3850.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

hey guys How Much Power do I need for this config..

c2d 4300( 1.8 ghz @ 800 mhz ) Intel org. D946gzis , Kingston 2 GB Ram + 2 GB (will buy soon) 160 GB sata 2 seagate Hard-disk, Intex Tv Tuner card, and Gts 250 or 9800gtx+ ......

which 1 is better 9800gtx+ 1 Gb or Gts 250 512mb ....I mostly need for rendering and speeding transcoding [Animation ( 2d & 3d )& video Editing]

what type of psu does Zebronics bijli have .....it is local 1 or good 1 as this cabby is in it's gaming series on their site.

 

[desiibond]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

@clmlbx, you need atleast a 450W PSU. Get Bijli without PSU and get Corsair VX450W

a corsair VX450W should be enough. Get bijli without PSU.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

I bought a XFX 8800 GTS 640 MB a couple of years back from US. It worked fine for so long, but today I found out that it's video RAM has gone bad. Can it be fixed here in India or do I have no other option but to send it back to US for repairs?

Get the PSU as desibond suggested & the cabby too
but if you want to save some bucks you can CM EP 500 Plus @ Rs. 2.8-3K.

Zebronics Bijli comes with 450W PSU which can handle a 8600GT/9500Gt at it's best or a 9600GTO

9800GTX+ & GTS250 uses the same GPU which is 9800GTX+. GTS250 is just a rebranded 9800GTX+.

There is no point in getting a 9800GTX+/GTS250 with 1GB mem coz for just 1-1.5K more you can have GTX260 with 896MB mem ( you need to have that corsair VX450W for this one ) which is a more furious beast as compared to GTS250/9800GTx+

@ Red_Baron - if your card did not come with international warranty then there is not much you can do but sending it back.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

9800GTX+ 1 gB is best choice then gts 250 as it is cheaper & same Gpu. and can Handle My rendering & trancoding needs and all 3d apps . right ? as it will cost 6K something or round it too 7K. Gtx 260 will 2K+ so no way for it.

about smps How is tagan 500w which can stretched output uptoo 600W . if I buy that corsair 450w then .. How much output does my system need .. How much will be left for my future purposes.

 

[desiibond]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^okay. If you are on a strict budget, go for GTS250. Its a bit faster than HD4850 and takes full advantage of PhysX processing. Go for it.

For PSU, A VX450W should be enough but if you think of high end cards like GTX275 or HD4890, you would need a better PSU, VX550W should be good for that.

Also, with new dx11 cards set to consume much less power, you may see HD5870 taking much much less power than HD4870.

Can you tell me where did you get the pricing of 6-7K for 9800GTx+ 1Gb model ?

9800Gt 1GB costs Rs. 6-6.5K.

9800GTX+ 1GB costs almost same as GTS 250 1GB which is 8.5K maybe ( though I could not find the exact pricing of 9800GTx+ ).

Corsair VX450W is pefectly fine & it can also deliver upto 570W

How is this possible..?

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^Corsair HX750W reaches 950W with ease and HX850W reaches a whopping 1.1kW without even feeling stressed.

That's corsair

Oh....how much would a TX650 theoritically then pump out...???

Not doubting you...but are their any links supporting this...I tried searching..most relate to ~80% efficiency
