@naveenthomas123.....The Best card for you would be Powercolor Ati Radeon 9550 which must be costing around 4.5k or a lil more.Below that would be Radeon 9200SE and Geforce FX52000 which would be costing around 2.5k :)

i have heard ati radeon 9500 pro outperforms ati radeon 9600 pro due to more no. of pixel pipelines?

@pradeep....whats the Minimum u can spend for the Second hand card and whats the Minimum GPU Or Vram You require????

@monty701.....well yes its true that the 9500pro has a fair advantage above the 9600pro in case of Benchmarks and Pixel Piplines count (8 PP in 9500pro and 4 PP in 9600pro) but 9600pro also has reduced the transistor count to half of 9500pro generating less heat for the card.The Advantage is that it(9600pro) is a good overclocker compared to 9500pro and also is marginally priced.
Overall the 9600Pro is a fair card and is more easily found out here compared to 9500pro.So the fact is,yes the 9500pro does beat 9600pro in terms of Performance :D

Anything better than the riva tnt 2 32 Mb that i have now will do. The thing is new Nvidia linux drivers are not working with this old card thus the hunt I am not a game guy just want to free system resources for computation purpose.

so is the the 6800gt 128 mb worth the money. i mean is it better than the 6600gt

Mate, are you serious?? Or do you just lack common sense??!!! X:idea:X

The above was in reponse to the second part of your query. Whether it's worth the money, that depends what you want to use the card for. It's definitely not worth spending on a 6800GT if you intend to play PACMAN :p

Current best buy for 10.5 to 11.5k is the GeForce 6600 GT.

If you're strapped for cash try Geforce 6600 Vanilla at less than 8k.

ROLFMAO.....Dude thats like askin "Is it worth Buying an Alienware Rig.....Du-Uh??" :lol: :lol:
Dude a 6600Gt goes in the likes of Comparison with Ati Radeon 9800Pro,Whereas the Geforce 6800Gt compete's with the likes of Ati Radeon X800Pro.Now Do you feel any difference in the Architecture of Ati Radeon 9800pro and X800 pro Graphics card????? The Answer is "Yes,A Big Diff" :D
Thats exactly the case with the Geforce Hierarchy,as The 6800Gt Is a High-End Card Placed above 6600Gt.

hey guys i am in a confusion that whether i should buy geforce 6600 gt agp card or i should spend the money on buying a console like ps2. coz the game on the consoles are fully optimised for it and run without any hickups. ge force 6600 gt is a very good card but is it futureproof??????? i know console and pc can't be compared but if its about gaming there is confusion.

Yup Nvidia has a got a 6200 128 and 256MB 8X versions but AFAIK they are not currently available in India yet.Although the PCI-E version does retail at around 4k Approx.

thegame_rulez said:

Possibly the PCI-E one Compares to the Ati Radeon X300 Card (SE) and X600 PCI-E Series of ATI but the Agp one(6200) is said to have more set of features and is a Great performer.

thegame_rulez said:

Nope i Dun think so.There are Very Little chances of you finding it,as its a relatively a new card.

I say if you got Good PC specs than its advisable you better go for the 6600gt as it will definetly be worth an upgrade as the PS2's graphics are showing its aging Attire :( Also Go for the Ps2 Only in case you are fully into gaming and nothing else.The 6600Gt will be somewhat future proof for some time now but the PS2 will last for say another year i.e. until PS3 dosent invade and Wipe it out :D
