Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

yes yes. ... 7600GT is like 2*6600GT ... get a 7600GT now .. and then later get a G80/G81 when they're released ...

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

7600GT > 6600GT SLi overall imo.

why did you get X2 4200 with 6600GT, rather get amd 3000 64 with radeon 1900XT.

Anyway, I suggest:
sell the CPU and try to get around 10-12k from it, in a few days prices will fall by a very very large margin, you have to do all this now. Sell your mobo if you think that gives more than 7-8k.
Sell your ram becasue corsair value select will give you problem with that mobo and if you have xms then that will sell for a significan amount, whether or not you upgrade anything , you can't use corsair value select, me too had problem with asus mobo, not this one, but this series will probly give you problems.
CPU: 10-12k
MB : assume 7k now, depepends on the price of new mobo, if you get less than 6500-7000 then don't sell, no point
RAM: 3k for value select
graphic card: 4k
you have:10k
total: almost 30k

Get Amd 64 3000 - 3500 ( rs5700 for 3500)
asus a8n e for around 5500 if you need
2X1gb ddr 400 transcend (consult me about chips) : 7.8-10k depending upon place etc, try to get in 8500
Radeon X1800GTO for the rest
later you sell your Amd 64 3000 and get X2 3800 or Intel Conroe.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

I woulld recommend you wait till the price of 7900GT comes around 14k mark.

Right now you can "play" all the games with that card actually (except oblivion at med-high) ....so whats the point upgrading to quickly.....

performance wise: 2*7600GT = 7900GT (cost wise: 2*12.5k=25k > 18k )

So buy 7900GT after a while. In future when Directx10 games hit the market 7900GT will be able to handle those games much better than 7600GT. Also you have an SLI system ..... just think of the power of 2*7900GT sometime in future. :)

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Well .. Oblivion can be tweaked to run on the 7600GT properly .. i ran the game at 1280*768 , 4xaa , Bloom , maxed settings with a tweaked ini .. and it ran smooth enough ... >25 fps outside (quite good) .. and over 70 fps indoors ... and the 7600GT does almost the same .. so its quite a good opt for now ...

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

ok guys i am getting a 7600GT tomorrow..... just confused over MSI and XFX.... i think i'll go with XFX....

mind changed... MSI one is better... better cooling... silent... and hence great for overclocking..

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

MSI is cheaper, but the default core speed is 580 and only 2 year full warranty.. but has great cooling and also has VIVO

XFX has double lifetime warranty, has core clock speed 590 by default..
so at default speed XFX is a bit faster... just a little bit, not practically differentiable..


BUT MSI, this baby is made to be overclocked... so if u are not an overclocker.. XFX is good..

and XFX looks great MSI looks bad... but i still prefer MSI

I am NOT selling my CPU for a mere AMD 3000+ this is the best thing i ever had in my life...Along with A8NE-SLI mobo and 6600GT it gives great performance.... As i said I am not facing any problems right now... Its just that i have got 10,000 bucks in my hand i want to invest it somewhere in my comp....I have 560GB hdd so buying another is no use.... And as someone said he can't run FEAR on above 1024x768 resolution on 6600gt based card.... I tried it at 1024x768 high settings with AF at 4x n AA at 2x and got an average of 52-55 fps.... I prefer to wait till price comes down

@samanvya_ad : Don't listen to that guy .. he probably lost his nuts ...

Also .. the A8N-E is not an SLi mobo .... its a nForce 4 ultra mobo , not and nForce4 SLi mobo .. For 10k's i'd suggest u to get a 7600GT (should cost a tad more) ... thats almost like 2*6600GT ...

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

1) Amd 3000 + Geforce 7600GT will easily beat his system. PERIOD 7900GT will be even better.
Just have a look at how much the processor affects your games.

*xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/cpu-games2.html
*firingsquad.com/hardware/fear_cpu_performance/
*firingsquad.com/hardware/half_life_2_cpu_shootout/
*firingsquad.com/hardware/oblivion_athlon_64_x2_fx_cpu_performance/
*www23.tomshardware.com/cpu.html

Compare this to the amount of difference a better GPU can make to you. Then that mere 3000+ will beat your X2, even if you had X2 4800 and imaginarily oced to 6000+ speeds.


2) Don't wait for 7900GT to come down to 14k in prices.
a)I don't think that this is going to happen very soon and you need an upgradation immediately.
b)By the time it comes down to that price you will need to upgrade to something better, that waiting is only recommended if you are going to use your 7900GT for around 1.5-2yrs or so.
c)14k is not very far away from todays prices.

3) You can't play any game at maxed settings with that card.
FEAR : 10X med
MW: 10X7 med - high
Oblivion: 800*600 low as per firingsquad.com
GRAW: crap at 800*600 lowest
Timeshift: 1024*768 low to med
Quke 4: 10X7 med i think should be ok

your card is not ok. PERIOD

4) 7900GTX>7600GT SLi>7900GT

5) None of todays cards will be ok at handling Dx 10 games, all current cards will run them in Dx 9 mode and the only cards which will actually be able to even consider running them well may be 1900xt or atmost 7900gtx class. 7900GT and 1800xt might be able to do ok. don't expect anything much out of a 7600gt in dx 10.

If you buy a 7900GT it is only to play current games, not future games, atmost near future.

6)XFX is a very good buy at 11500 for 7600GT I think, the cheapest i have heard is 10.5k. xfx has double lifetime in USA, in India it should be only 3yrs.

7)I don't think there will be much if at all diff in 7600GT overclockability, if you get the same cooling, but should be fine.


8) @ rahul, what do you want to know?

9)6600GT can't give ok performance even with Intel X6800. at least if you play at 10X7 or higher with high/maxed settings.

10) A8N E is neforce 4 ultra, but it has good oc, stable and a good mobo, decent price.
