Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Which is better???

XFX 9500GT 1GB - 3.5k
Zotac 9500GT 1GB - 3k
Palit 9500GT 1GB - 3k
Sparkle 9500GT 1GB - 3k

Though I can afford XFX but the other brands r offering less price. Is XFX have some extra features??

I think Zotac doesn't hav ny VGA port in thr gfx card...

Plz help......which one shud I go for?? Nything xtra features over the others??

I do not think you get extra features with XFX. Yea the physical bundle may be different in terms of connectors/game discs/cables.

Most cards offer DVI/VGA/S-Video Composite as standard connectivity. Even if you get two DVI connectors, you can easily hook up using a DVI-VGA connector module.

Just get the cheapest one.

The cheapest are from zebronics(yes, they make low end GPU), you won't advice that right? Also some cheap companies give 2 yrs warranty. Check that out.

What difference will it make.

The core is ATI. That is what I believe for GPUs.

But the warranty is 2 yrs, what if it goes boom, some early HD4850 went that way, remember, same for 8600gt.

True. I guess Mr. Sarkar will have to weigh it out.

Cheap Price + risky quality vs Good quality (read: service, warranty) + higher price.

But he is choosing Palit, so he should be good to go..? Tkin..?

Palit is good, but he should never get companies like PoV, sparkle and of coarse Zebronics,, they make lousy cases, so they should stick to it, not gpu.

BTW- anyone think the 5850 and 5870 are a bit too costly, specially with a non-existent DX11 titles lineup(except dirt 2, but nothing substantial).

Yea true. They are too expensive. I will probably skip the whole 5xxx series..thought about it a while, and let technology catch up. And what will 150+ FPS do in a game. Am happy with the FPS my system is pushing out.

Also I have read, that even the i7 with QPI are causing bottle necks for the 5870.
:(

But on the flip-side release of 5xxx will lower the price for 4xxx series (hopefully). A 4870 is good for all games today.

MSI 4870 1 GB ~12K should compliment your system just fine.

Wait for some days. ATI's 5xxx series will lead to a decrease in price and if you can't, then get the 4870 1GB @ 10.3k or better get Palit GTX260 SONIC @ 10.5k. Other cards are: Sapphire 4890 1GB @ 12.8k & GTX275 @ 13k

My recommendation is Palit GTX260 SONIC as it is most VFM card today and beats the 4870 1GB and falls sweet into your budget.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Friends....

We have an absolute winner here. For the price and performance this card is phenomenal. It is really scary in Cross fire. Scaling so close to the 5870s. And at times it is beating the GT285 series. Power consumption is low too...! :)

Read the review here.

The only think I did not like, they placed the PSU connectors in an air-intake slot. How dumb...! Hope non-reference OEMs will change that.

Once this GPU is less then 15K ---> its a hot-cake. Grab it.!
