Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
guys i wanted to know how much power does a plain geforce 6600 AGP card consume??
According to XBIT labs they say it consumes abt 40-45W ( Loaded Condition )
According to tomshardware they say it consumes 210W! ( Loaded Condition )
I'm getting confused over these figures...
I'm on a Mercury 300W PSU with lesser hardware devices in my PC so they might draw less power...
Anyone here running geforce 6600 with 300W PSU ??
According to this ---> *www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculator.jsp (PSU calculator)
my PC wud consume 190W with geforce 6600

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
1st of all get a PSU atleast 450w or above and dont go for cheap brand get a proper PSU either it is bcoz of PSU or not..as 300w is less for ur rig.
-flickering can also be due to magnet...like speakers etc..is anythin with magnet nearby ur cpu,monitor?even this can b 1 of the reason for it.

I think 300W SMPS is the minimum requirement for 6600 gfx card. So if ur card is performing as expected without any problems then don't worry. But do use a good branded PSU.

Well I don't have much confidence in Mercury,Intex,iBall PSU (had bad experience with all of them). But if it works for u then fine. I am using Powersafe 450W SMPS.

OK graphic card Geniuses out there:
My friend has 128 mb RAM, a 2.something GHz Pentium 4(NO HT). NO GRAPHICS CARD and AOE 3 works without laggin for him.
Me, I have 1 GB RAM, P4 3.00 GHz (with HT), and a 256 mb nVIDia XFX 5200.
Here is the funny part, AOE 3 lags its heart out in my Comp.!!!
What is going on here?
I got Empire Earth 2, it lags as well. I can only play F.E.A.R. on its most min settings.I've got Hitman Blood Money now and i need 2 play it. HELP!!!
Is it a prob only with my graphics card or is there anything else thats could be wrong?

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
I refuse to believe that AOE 3 works on a comp with only 128 MB RAM and no graphics card and that too without any lag.
As for your comp, the graphics card is the weak point. A FX5200 is too slow to play the latest games. You need atleast a 6600 to enjoy AOE 3 and FEAR.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
Well .. sometime its quite hard to believe ... but u'll see tha NFSMW runs better on a MX4000 than on a 6200 .... welll the answer is very simple ...
In this case the FX5200 has many features actually implemented in the game , but is very poor at handling the shaders ... do instead u get a poor performance ... now with the onboard graphics adapter .. the game doesn't use any of those intensive shaders .. so the game has a better chance of smooth running .... albeit at very uber low visuals ... no effects , no aa etc. etc. ...

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
That might explain why the onboard graphics chip can handle AOE 3, but nothing can make up for the lack of RAM. There will be so much swapping from the page file that the game will be anything but lag free.
I quote this from the readme file for AOE 3

If there is any other onboard chip by Intel, please tell me about it. It must be really powerful indeed.

Re: New Graphic Cards in 36 ChinaTown
U can plug in a 4X card in a 8X slot but it won't perform at its peak.......
For a AGP card u can go for 6600/6600GT.6600GT will be a better option for 7.5K but if ur budget is 6k then u can go for a 6600 for 5k
.......for the brand go for XFX..
But to play games u need atleast 512 Mb of ram but 1Gig is recommended...
