Guys, I have 5k in hand. What should I buy??

1) 8600 GT?? (currently using nvidia onboard 6100)
2) TFT display (currently using 15" samsung CRT that is 6yr old)
3) Sansa e260 4gig player (currently using 2yr old 1gig ipod nano)
4) Pinnacle PCTV vista kit + Tata sky (currently using pcto 110i that is incompatible with vista and local cable connection)

I play music and also play lot of games. watch TV only during big sport events like IPl, F1 races, UEFA Champions league. not even interested in anything else that comes in TV as I am not a movie buff.

^^I think its best if you buy a new gfx card..
But you will have to extend your budget a little.. Dont buy the XFX 8600GT for any reason. Overheats a lot.
Since you dont watch the TV, leave the 4th option. Leave the 2nd if you dont care about how your computer looks. You choose between gaming and music

 

[desiibond]

^^ thanks buddy. yes. I am aware of that XFX microwave

asked for ASUS card and it's readily available for some 4k.

still am thinking to get a 17" display for some 6k so that I can play at better resolution. Or should buy 19" monitor next month to do justice to 8600GT. am I right?

 

[nvidia]

^^Dont get a 19" monitor. 8600GT cannot run the games smoothly at very high resolutions.
Stick to your current monitor. But if you have the money for a new monitor then go for it.
17" should be good enough.

 

[desiibond]

ah. okay. In that case, I will stick to my current monitor and get 8600GT.

thank you.

anyways, for movies, i have my T43's 1400x1024

 

[nvidia]

^^ok.. But just make sure that the card you buy doenst have any heating issues.

 

[desiibond]

okie. how's this:

GIGABYTE GV-NX86T256H-ZL GeForce 8600GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card (equipped with zalman fan)

600MHz core clock

package content:

GV-NX86T256H-ZL

[nvidia]

^^It'll run cool since it has the Zalman fan. whats the price of the card?

 

[desiibond]

don't know yet. USA price is 89$. asked the dealer to find. Am ready to shell 6k for this card

looks good

 

[nvidia]

^^Did you ask the price for the ASUS card? Even that has better cooling...

Re: Latest Hardware Pri*es & Q*otes..!!

Only 8600GT *ards avialable are from XFX and Zebroni*s

Finally went for ATI HD 2600XT 512MB GDDR3 *ard for Rs.6k

Now, I have a problem.

Mother board is Gigabyte GA-K8N51GMF-9.

This motherboard, tho*gh has P*I Express x16 slot, is not letting the Pro*essor to *se the graphi*s *ard.

In BIOS, the option is

"Enable when no PEG (P*i Express Graphi*s)" and "Always enable"

Even tho*gh I sele*t Enable when no PEG, it's still taking onboard graphi*s.

This is really irritating.

*an someone please provide a sol*tion for this problem.

I do see that the Graphi*s *ard's fan is rotating.

 

[keith_j_snyder2]

Comparing 8600GT and 2600XT, 8600GT beats 2600XT with big margin.
Here is a little solution for ur problem.
Remove display drivers.
In BIOS - Turn Display to PCI-E regardless whatever it says, And plug the display cable in graphics card.
Boot OS, and let it detect the graphics card and install latest display drivers.

This will hopefully will solve ur problem.

asked for ASUS card and it's readily available for some 4k.

For what?
4K for ASUS 8600GT?

 

[itisravishankar]

Might be 8500gt???
