Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Is ATi HD 2600XT better than nVidia 8600GT ?
Is 2600XT a DX10 card ?

In the site that "cyberboy kerala" provided (thanks for it) i saw that mostly 8600GT is ahead of 2600XT. But they've used a bit older games for the test.
So which card would be better for new games such as Crysis and so ?

Please also state which card costs more if you can.

Thanks..

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Hi, I am thinking to buy DX10 based card.

I have 2 options - NVidia 8600 GT & ATI 2600XT

I just read tom's hardware guide abt 2600 xt. It says its 100$ and little cheaper than 8600GT.

Suggest which one to buy with their prices and models.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

In case you are buying for gaming Go for nVidia. In case of Movie and Media stuff go for ATi HD.

ATi performance gets affected by a wider range than nVidia performance when AA and AF are turned on.

Riva Tuner can OC any gfx card [well almost] which has the supported GPU. So no matter u got ASUS, Galaxy or XFX it will OC it same way.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

wts the warranty period for asus 8600gt and xfx 8600gt??

 

[keith_j_snyder2]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

both 8600 GT and 2600 XT are crappy cards. If u really want to play games then hook on to 8800 GT or wait for RV 670 aka HD 3800. That card will be a real deal and the price will be same as 8800 GT and it will be DDR4 and DX 10.1!

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^Go for ASUS as i myself have an XFX 8600GT and their customer support is unreliable online.
Asus support in India is no good too but atleast they are the top pc hardware manufacturers in the world.You can also get ASUS 8600GT from rashi peripherals,they also have XFX.

Haven't you heard of XFX 8600GT users having overheating complains.

 

[keith_j_snyder2]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Wait for RV 670 as that card will be almost in between 10-12K and since nVidia will also launch its 9 series GPU soon then the 8800 GT512 MB will be for almost the same price.
Remember the 8600 GT was of almost 10K when it launched and now its for 5.5K from Palit!
Just wait for a month or two and u will see a drastic fall in price!

 

[nishantv2003]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

i was just thinking that i can buy a 8600gt now and i can run it for 1yr and after that i could change it and by then the new 9 series would have been launched and price of 8800gt would aslo have come down.
or
should i buy 8800gt now only...

as u say my frnds

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

You know....now days....as i can see the market....every single brand is launching something new within 6 months which makes the older technology obsolete.
U can clearly see in the INTEL Core 2 Duo series....same nVidia is also following and all other companies will do the same.

My suggestion is buy something that is enough for atlesat 1-1.5 year.
Now 8800 GT is the best in this scenerio....but it has just been launched....always buy something when it is available in abundance in the market and has decent value.
Buying a 8600 GT is nothing....infact, i will suggest u to buy 2X8600 GT and use them in SLI....but its not possible since u have one PCI-E slot on motherboard.
So just wait for 1 more month and see if ATi come up with something stand in nVidia way....then u should buy 8800 GT because then its price will also fall down and it will be a great buy which will remain for atleast 1 year.
