man go for the Nvidia XFX Geforce 4 Agp 8x FX 5600 ultra 128mb......I've been using it since the last 3yrs without any problems.

@tech ur future:buddy I didnt understand that u were using AGP ok in that case I guess 6600 128mb shub be gud enough but 7600GS is a better bet.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Geforce FX series is obsolete. Rather get a geforce 6600, or maybe 6200(not sure if it is better than 5600ultra), 7300GT should be better as well.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Radeon 9550 was outdated years ago. Get a 7600GS if you have an AGP or PCI-E slot. If you only have PCI slots then forget about gaming.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

you will get a 7900GT, maybe even at 17k, no point in thinking of a 7800GT then, unless it is sub 12-13k

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

I have switched to PCI express platform finally :) changes the mobo - checkout sig, bought MSI 7600GT PCI-e for 11.7k. This card is amazing its a red pcb design with 2-slot cooling solution holding a heafty heatsink and fan combo.

Posted good scores even with my cpu (A64 2800+) without overclocking.

Clocked at stock @560/700(1400 DDR) the scores are:
3dMark03 - 11686
3dMark05 - 5665
3dMark06 - 3238
All without overclocking. With the big heatsink + heatpipe + fan + dualslot solution it gives enough headroom to push higher ...... but I don't want to mess around with 3 yr warranty so early. :)

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

you are getting a real good score, which motherboard and RAM do you have?

my friend has 2gb, 3200 venice 7600GT BIG and he gets 5850 in 3D Mark 05. What are your driver settings?

Yeah, i bought a new motherboard as well - MSI K8N Neo3 (nforce 4-4x) with PCI-e 16x slot. RAM is single channel 2*512MB Kingston KVR DDR400 with IT timing but CL3 (can easily do CL2.5).

I used forceware 91.xx drivers (i guess they r not using any optimizations) also i ran all the tests with setting as Quality (instead of High performance) in NV control panel so no optimizations come into effect.

All test were ran at detault 3dmark settings.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

yes, 7800GS, around 18k or so. other lower cards may soon be released. for a price of 18k you are better off buying a pcie mobo instead.

also, consider ati 1600pro solutions as well.
