Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
Regarding, GPU...see if u can wait then go for 8800GT after a while. By then, the price tag would be quite attractive.
As for 9600GT, Palit Sonic+ 9600GT 512MB model is highly recommendable by me! Superb performance and O/C-ability!
Sonic isnt any GPU manufacturer. Actually, Sonic,Super and Sonic+ are Palit's models. Super generally includes 512MB and above VRAMs. Sonic and Sonic+ models feature better VRAM modules,cooling units and comparatively higher clocks than other OC'd cards. And thats why, Sonic+ models are quite costly than the regular ones. Though, performance is worth the price.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
^^ whoa ! its burning up. .use a blower ( dont blow hot air ) to clear dust in the heat sink . if its a new card get it replaced. .if u've crossed the warranty period , reapply some thermal paste.
EDIT
It is unusual but possible that u're smps is not providing enough power and thus causing the heating problem . Try the card in ur frends house and see the temps. .

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
No...I wanna know dat do we have 2 take in2 account the core clock & memory clock while buying a GCard....
OK let me make it simple...
give them a priority:
Memory Type(DDR2,DDR3,DDR4)
Core-Clock
Memory-CLock
card version(series...7,8,9..)
so,acc 2 me is this correct:
card version(series...7,8,9..) > Memory Type(DDR2,DDR3,DDR4) > Core-Clock > Memory-CLock
as shown above memory-clock gets lowest & card version gets highest
another question:
U guys always says good PSU 4 Gcard...
Is there any chart/table showing the required PSU(watts) 4 a particular Card

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
No one replied to my thread so posting here. I want AGP gfx card to which I can connect LCD monitor through DVI. Should not be too costly (around 2.5k) and good for HD movies.... nvidia/ati anything will do.....
waiting for reply....

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
^^ 7300 LE or 6200 . but seeing that u have a mobo that has only agp support, ur proccy wont be enough to run hd movies. . so u have to find a hd 2400 / 2600 .. which i think will be very difficult . these cards have AVIVO HD which decode HD content.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
yes my card is passively cooled.
well i dont know how to check temp on riva tuner.as i am unable to find that option can anybody help me please.
since my card is passively cooled what other things i can do to keep it cool.
and btw i tested bioshock demo on my card and frame rates were not that good but it was playable without any kind of lag in 800x600 resolutions with settings almost high.
btw will my card be able to play games such as nfs carbon and blood money type at highest settings at 800x600 resolutions.will it be able to play games released between 2003-2007 at those settings.
here are the details of my card.*www.xfxforce.com/web/product/listC...ce™+8500&productConfigurationId=1385708
@quan_chi
also check whether the speed of your two RAM sticks are the same...
and if possible run a memory integrity check.. (using memtest *www.memtest.org/)
EDIT:
bah! sagar beat me to it
and 8500GT is a pretty low powered card and it doesn't heat much like XFX's 8600GTs.. even some cards are passively cooled

will it be ok for improving the overall system performace for gaming... m looking forward to play games like Assassin's Creed,Crysis, BioShock, Unreal Tournament 3..

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
^^specify the C2D processor model!
Apart from that, rest of the config seems nice!
Btw, u should go for >160GB, 250GB atleast! Games like UT-III and Crysis could easily eat up lots of GBs!
Ofcourse, u'll see a major performance difference! Believe me u are in for a tr8. (GMA ->8800GT!)
yep, uninstall old vga drivers before installing the new card and its drivers.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
Planning to buy following next month
CPU - E8200 or E8400
Mobo - Abit IP 35E
PSU - POV black diamond 500w
GPU - EVGA 9600GT
Question: Will the PSU be able to handle 9600 GT and if I plan to buy 8800GT will it be able to handle that also.
