Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

the 7300 gt is performes better than the x1600..according so most comparisons between the two..but the x1600 is better for over clocking!

Hmmm...7.3 are the latest drivers.Did u tried the older version?There are possibilities with the latest drivers.I had faced the same problem with my old 6200 when i atteched it to TV but it all been rectified by swaping the AV cables.Try these 2,worked for me!!!

Just what i thought the new 7.3 drivers gives BSOD & its confirmed.Use old drivers & reconfigure the settings as per the manual.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Question to guys who have got graphics card or motherboards brought or sent from the USA or abroad:-

I got lots of friends and brothers in the USA so can anybody tell me if I ask them to buy a graphics card and ask them to send it to me via post then,
1)how much shud it cost to send it from the US?
2)is it legal to send a graphics card via courier from the US to India?
3)will it be safe to send it this way considering its too fragile for transit?
4)does the sender needs to take off the packaging before sending it?

Again,say if a friend is coming over then can he bring say,a graphics card or a motherboard on a flight from US to India?Will they let him board the flight with these things?If yes,then shud the things be in hand luggage or sealed baggage?any chances of the cards,etc getting damaged if brought in sealed baggage?again,does the person bringing these things needs to break the seal of the package?

End of the day do u think its gonna be price efficient?

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Dude just a couple of months ago my friend returned from DC & i told him to buy a SAPPHIRE X1900 GT from newegg.com because they don't deliver in Asian countries.So he ordered it from newegg and just because of the custom duty he sold that card to one of his friend in USA.The only thing is when u buy a packed piece of hardware then the duty on it is very high.Almost same as the cost of the card in INDIA.Besides this there are warranty issues also there.I 've seen many people with their fried hardware & checking the wholesalers & retailers to replace their hardware but their is no use.

If such thing is possible than everyone would have bought from abroad.Its almost half the price on newegg.com

1)how much shud it cost to send it from the US?
Click to expand...
shipping via USPS should be around 1200 to 2000/- depending upon its weight. *www.usps.com/tools/calculatepostage/welcome.htm

2)is it legal to send a graphics card via courier from the US to India?
Click to expand...
for personal use its perfectly legal
3)will it be safe to send it this way considering its too fragile for transit?
Click to expand...
If its paked with buble wrap or thermo balls then it shuld be perfect, make sure nothing shakes in the packing.
4)does the sender needs to take off the packaging before sending it?
Click to expand...
Not really but ask them to mark it as gift.

THe peak custom duty on IT products is 21% plus some 4% levies so it still cheaper to get from abroad but yes the warranty is an issue, to get warranty u have to ship at ur cost back to them.

Else its better if someone can bring along as there will be no custom duty on personal baggage upto 25000/-

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

@ keith_j_snyder2 & ranjan2001 thnx a lot.
Now I have another question,say if my friend brings the card in a packet after taking it out of the box then can he bring it with his hand/cabin luggage...has anyone done this before?I'm scared if he brings it in the baggage compartment the pcb might break due to pressure..u see?Well,I'm not concerned about warranty if I get it very cheap...thnx in advance

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Yes he can bring as a hand baggage fully box packed item for personal use but if the card is properly packed then it wont break in any way even in luggage.

I have got a camera like that, my laptop like that.....no issues in custom.......................laptop even above Rs 25000/- are allowed free of duty for personal use.

Gone are the days custom people use to harass travelers, now know the rules & travel King style.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

maybe not above 80 degrees........ depends....... it would be better if u check out overclocking forums and articles on the internet........
Overclocking is not an easy job ....... it requires quite experimentation ...... thats why , i recommend u to go to good sites and learn about everything involved in overclocking ...... Ok , bye .
