Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

i was thinking of buying a 8600gt gcard. can sum1 tell me whether i shud go for 256 mb gddr3 or 512 mb ddr2 version.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^256mb ddr3 definitely ..
256 and 512 wont make much of difference...

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

my 6600gt failing with frame rate slowing down...screen dimming..its not a power problem as a 7600gt from another pc works fine...

So i m scouting for a replacement..does it make sense to go for a 8800gt at this point in time
or
should i just get some low budget replacement until the new directx 10.1 card come along?

I have to decide by today...pls suggest

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

If you have the money to buy a 8800GT then you can go for it. You can also wait for the 9 series cards and once they are released you can get them

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

you know if the 9 series get released any time soon then the existing range of 8 series will exhibit a fall in the price...so thats what i m thinking..

 

[nvidia]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

You are right. If you wait until the 9series cards are released then you can get one of them or you can buy the 8 series cards which will be cheaper.
The choice is still yours

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

any idea about an expected release date...cos if it is going to be too long...i might as well get the 8800gt now

 

[nvidia]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

maybe by feb itll be released

 

[Harvik780]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Yes in Feb 9800GX2 and 9600GT will be released.But both will be pretty much useless,the first one against the 9800GTX and the second one against the 9800GT.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

i might as well get a cheaper card..,max inr5000 to get me through...for the time being

^^ 8600GT . . take from galaxy or any other brand than XFX .. make sure it has 256mb GDDR3 . then are many DDR2 models , dont buy them.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

hey guys.. this 8500gt 512MB DDR2 Card is good ??

Hey whats the difference between 8800 GT & 8800 GTS??

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^Stay away from 8500 card. Its good for nothing.
Even if you are a casual gamer dont buy anything less than 8600GT.

 

[spikygv]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

and for any card , dont go4 ddr2 even if the memory is larger .. go4 gddr3

Why are you saying to stay away from XFX?

 

[spikygv]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

not to stay away from xfx .. stay away from xfx 8600GT . .a model commonly available has heating issues .. for any other gpu , i too vote for xfx . for 8600 avoid xfx . thats my opinion. thats all . by all means take the xfx 8600 , but u're in trouble if it has heating issue.
