In Kolkata ,which shop is best to buy a reliable and reasonably priced Graphics Card?

There is no single best shop. You have to go through several shops to get a fair deal.

BTW which gfx card you are going to buy ?

No, then your PC will crash, or automatically restart in less severe cases. This will eventually lead to component failures starting with HDD and then the GFx Card after some time.

Yup it should be. If you're buying a new PSU, then buy a Corsair HX620.

CM 600 watts is enough , for the 4870 sonic ,HX 620 is great i wont deny but if u add one more 4870 sonic means u can go for Corsair HX 620

Friend,when I bought my first card I also was a victim of the same problem of cheating..as ur budget is bellow 4000,my suggestion is to take at least XFX 8600GT 256MB DDR3(3800/-)..or if u like ati then u can take MSI-HD4350 512MB DDR3(3350/-)..these all cards r bellow 4000/- & perform pretty well at 1024*768 resolution..& bellow these,it will be just a worthless buying..........

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

sorry i have no great knowledge abt latest cards...i dont know the difference between gs,gt,gtx etc...also dont know abt ddr2 ddr3 cards...
i am having doubts abt 8600gt 256 mb ddr3
will it support my board...? (intel d101ggc) dont know whether pci e is 1.1 or 2.0...
also any conflicts with my ram...? bcos it is ddr 1
can i play games which requires 512 mb graphic memory(as it is 256)....?

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

see if compare 512MB DDR2 vs 256MB DDR3....obviously DDR3 is the best..quantity is not the factor..the factor is abt in how speed it can works....so u should go for DDR3 bandwidth rather than DDR2...8600GT is one year old chipset from NVIDIA still rocking & HD4350 is very latest chipset from ATI hope will rock as entry level..both r DDR3 bandwidth...go for these link...read reviews........
*www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3444&p=2
*www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=2975

I personally think MSIHD4350 would be better as it is latest..also have 512mb ddr3..price is just 3350/-
u dont need to think abt gtx or gt....it is above that........
And be cool ur intel d101ggc will definitely support it...PCI Express 2.0 is completely backward compatible with v1.0 & 1.1...& ur ddr ram will also cause no problem..
u can play all latest games in 1024*768 in medium setting..

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Get the ASUS 8600GT 256MB DDR3 for around 3.5k..Best one in 86GT...
In ATi side, get what tanmoy_Siliguri suggested....

ajai5777 · Nov 26, 2008

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

my main doubt is that most new games reqiure 512 mb graphic memory.If i buy 8600 GT 256 ddr3 can i play those 512mb reqd games?
