Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

@sagargv
No, my card is frm Zebronics. Yeah, the problem ceases when I restart my machine. There isn't much problem when i am doing anything apart from playing games but as soon as i start a game (i.e when i start playing) the problem starts.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

is it true palit cards give prob. i have a sapphire X1600pro. when i was buying it, i almost went for the palit x1600pro coz its considerably cheaper. but bec of unavailability, i took the sapphire. guess it was a blessing in disguise

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^if u're into gaming, go in for 1GB ram. i have same mobo as urs so i know that it only supports a max of 400mhz. best is let ur 256mb card go, get 2*512mb identical cards and run in dual channel.

Yeah dat'll make some diff... had ur friend only been in taiwan, it mus've made a huuuuuuuge diff....

Anyways jus ask him to bring the stuff thru cabin baggage keepin only the card, drivre cds, n cables n ditch the box... If customs find a box in the main luggage, u'll be asked to pay d relevant customs...

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Dude...........u are not paying attention at all!!!

Let other people decide :

1. Buy a X1950 pro for $135 & save $115(250-135=115) & sell your card after 15 months of worth $135 for $35 because it doesn't run the DX10 content & add add $200 to get a 8800 GTX.

or


2.Save your $135 & don't buy anything and after 15 months Add $200 more i.e $200+$135=$335 & be a proud owner of 8900 GTS(something like that)

or

3.Buy a card for $250 & show your bling...bling...& even after 15 months ur card is still surviving but with a little nick of a lag,but u still enjoy all the gaming fun of DX10 & DX9.

Nice discussion there.. but a specific question..

I am planning on buying ASUS P5N-E SLi mobo and as it doesnt have on-board grfx, i will have to buy a grfx card.. I was thinking of buying the XFX 8600GT but the above discussions and options have confused me a bit... I have the SLI option too.. so what would be a better option for me? I am into gaming and would want to play NFS Carbon at max settings. 8600GT is hitting hard on my budget, but if its worth it i can go for it.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Ok... I need to decide upon which GFx card to go for im my lappy which I'll be getting next month.. So can someone help me decide between the following..?
Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950
NVIDIA® GeForce™ Go 7400
ATi Mobility Radeon x1400
ANd what about the memory for these.. I'm really zero when it comes to GFx cards, so consider me a noob here..

One more info.. My laptop will have at least 1GB DDR2 RAM and 120GB HDD.. And I plan to use Windows Vista.. I need the laptop to be able to play recent games decently..

Den I suppose u wait until Ati comes up with a revamped X2900Xt...
Coz then nVidia will release their G92 cores n then 8 series'd become cheaper...

Now the XFX 8800GTS 320 fetches 17k + taxes...
640 costs 21K + taxes... They'll become cheaper..

Wait dude..

If nuthin else, prices'll definitely come down nex month...

Dats a good mobo... 8600Gt's not a wise option tho... Coz Its jus a entry level 8 series card...

I suggest u wait until the month end and get a 8800GTS coz prices'll def go down... Has to coz Ati labs're workin hard to revamp their competitor 2900XT!!!

Dun think of Sli jus coz u want 20-22 FPS more... Its waste.. Invst in a good card now... Listen...

2X 8600GT in Sli is always low on performance dan a 8800GTs...
