Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

7800GS AFAIK is no where near a 7900GT or even a 7800GT perhaps. However it should perform close to a 7600GT which costs about 7k less, for this price you would rather sell your motherboard and get a new one and hopefully not lag much behind in performance if at all, and also be better off for upgrades.

There won't be any difference if all hardware specifications are same.

Only leadtek has this card right now, and its not avaible in Nehru Place. Also price for such card will be higher (1-2k higher) than PCI-e one.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

i am not sure, but it depends whether agp version is exactly same speed etc or not

also, there may be some diff due to agp 8x as well

^Performance difference in the real world is very negligible as no card needs maxes 8x speeds right now. Many high end cards have agp versions and infact, SLI'ing two powerful pciex cards (on non A8n32) mobos will run each of them at 8x.

1)No high end card now comes in agp. 7800GS is mainstream performance.

2)I am not sure about the performance difference, ask members like switch, chaos, darklord, themask etc. Hopefully it won't be that bad, should probably be around the same speeds.

I'm getting a New Dell 24 inch monitor and need a graphics card to power its 1920*1200 resolution through a DVI output. I've about 6k (max) to spend on the gfx card.

I have AMD ATHLON 64 3000+ with MSI RS482M-ILD board (integrated ATI X200 graphics). It has a PCI Express slot. I want to add a graphics card preferably ATI based. Budget around Rs 3000/- . Plz suggest. Also mention the brand.

@CF: Notice I mentioned my budget was 6k? I will be gaming mostly at 1024....nothing more. maybe something xbox 360 style. So, I was thinking of the 7600 GS or aTI 1600... anyone?

^^7600GS is slightly out of budget. Best you can do in 6k is X1600 Pro.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

6k and gaming of xbox 360 style can't go together.

those cards will play some games of today on 800*600
__________
you will prefer to play on 800*600 15" monitor rather than 1024*768 20" monitor. Take it from me.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

How about the 6800XT. I can get it shipped from abroad for $100. Is it a good deal? All I want is DVI output and some NFS Most Wanted...

6800XT is similar to a 6600GT. Rather get a 7300GT GDDR3 instead

Will Geforce 7600GT run on my powersafe 500W psu without any problem? CPU is Athlon64 3000+@stock speed, 1 GB RAM.
