^^. Sorry, yes. it was for 8500GT. But now they don't have any ASUS/Gigabyte/MSI cards in there.

yes. 8600GT beats 2600XT but not with a big margin. they are neck to neck. but since I got this one for 6k, i think its a decent buy as 512MB ASUS 8600GT should cost atleast a thousand bucks more.

 

[keith_j_snyder2]

Well if u have 6K then i suggest wait for 9600GSO, it will be cheaper than 9600GT and will perform same as 8800GS or may be better. The Palit and Point Of View 9600GT is already selling for 8800/- at itwares!!!!!!!!!!!

8800GT is better than 9600GT but compared to 8800GS 9600GT is better

8800GT > 9600GT > 8800GS

^^Is the 8800GS out in India? What price?

Finally got my GPU working (took the motherboard to gigabyte service center, which luckily was just a block away from my house).

Thinking of going for a 17" display to do justice to the card

As of now, doing all kinds of benchmarks.

Do you guys think that AMD athlon 64 3000+ (single core) CPU with a 1Gb DDR400 RAM will be a bottle neck for this card if I start playing games on 1280x1024 resolution?

 

[nvidia]

^^Yes...
You wont be able to play games at the settings which your graphics card can handle if you have this processor.
Get a 5000+ atleast.

 

[desiibond]

^^ Finalized AMD X2 5200+, 2x1gig ddr2-800, decent motherboard.

Have to go and check which mobo's are available.

Are we talking about same thing here? I guess not.
9900GTX is a $450 card and that makes it a expensive and high end card.
I am talking about 9600GSO, its a mainstream card and will be available for less than $160.
So there is a huge price difference.

Well u can wait for 9900GTX but i am telling him to look at 9600GSO. I don't know about u but i don't have a deep pocket to burn for a $450 graphics card.

Dude if any little interest in overclocking then go for an INTEL setup. Cheaper and more power efficient at stock but can be overclocked at extreme.

If AMD then look for a Hybrid SLI enabled motherboard.

Thanks buddy. The reason why I am looking for AMD is hybrid crossfire

I already have the 2600XT, which fortunately is working fine (just an issue with the metal plate that is inserted into the slot). Am able to play Transformers at 1152x900 resolution with full eye candy turned on

Moreover, The processor 5200+ X2 running at 2.6GHz(Rs.4.5k) is only some 15-20% less in frame rate when compared to E6750, which costs 8k. Since I do lot of overclocking, I can overclock this processor to match E6750 and can save around 3k rupees and after selling my existing setup for some 3.5k (AThlon 64 3000+, gigabyte mobo, 1gig ddr400), I will be able to buy a 17" monitor with the saved money. Along with this I can get a 790G chipset based mobo (preferable Gigabyte as their service center is just a block away from my house and their support looked top notch).

I really want to go for Intel but am on a budget as I have to buy a 17" display also.

 

[keith_j_snyder2]

Fair enough! But u can overclock Intel processor much more compared to AMD processor.
U can barely overclock 5200+ to 400MHz but C2Duo to almost double of its actual clock!

U got that 2600XT?
Good atleast u 'll be able to do Hybrid Crossfire.

 

[desiibond]

^^Yep. C2D is a superb overclocker. But, look that amount that I save. Save 3k-4k, which helps me to get a better 17" or even a 19" display.

I really really love to take that C2D but can't put 8k on the processor

 

[confused]

hey where can i get LOGITECH Z5500 for around 15k in mumbai?

 

[nvidia]

@desiibond: If you plan to do a lot of overclocking with your processor, then look for a motherboard in which you can change the clock multiplier.
You cant OC AMD processors much.
I can OC my 6000+ by about 150Mhz without changing the voltage and i dont see much difference in performance.

 

[kanne]

CAN anybody here give prices of gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H & Asus M3A-H/HDMI
please

Dude there is a whole range of processors for each price segment. No one is telling u to buy E8200.
There are other processors like E4300,E4500 in that price range. I suggest E2140 @ 2500/- and u can overclock it to more than 3Ghz.

U just need a good motherboard and decent PSU ( Which either way u have to have PSU).

Yes. Yesterday bought Dell 198WFP for some 9.8k. SO have to wait till next month to get new proccy mobo and RAM. Do you know any store that is now selling AMD hybrid crossfire supported boards?

and BTW, Found MSI NX8600GT 256MB card at Golcha Inter trade (SP Road) for 4.5k. Surprised to see this as earlier I couldn't find one. And more surprised to see that this shop is ISO certified

Thanks a lot buddy, your suggestions are invaluable. I totallly forgot about the multiplier unlocked boards. thanks for reminding it

yes. can buy E4500 or E4300 but look at the FSB for these 800MHz compared to 1333MHz of E8400. Also, E4500 comes with 2Mb cache compared to 4Mb of E6750 or E8400

moreover, look a the link here:
*www.trustedreviews.com/cpu-memory/review/2007/07/17/Intel-Core-2-Refresh-QX6850-E6850-E6750/p5

In gaming, as the display resolution increases, the difference in frame rate between E6750 and X2 5200+ comes down.

90% of tasks that I do on my desktop is gaming and music. Which means that the more I save on the proccy and mobo stuff, the better display I get.

For example,

I can put max amount of 6k on a motherboard, which means I can go no higher than G33 chipset for Intel but I can get 780G AMD board.

*arstechnica.com/reviews/hardware/amd-780g-chipset-review.ars/4
*www.anandtech.com/mb/showdoc.aspx?i=3111&p=18
G33 couldn't even play crysis and CoD4, supreme commander, company of heroes.

*arstechnica.com/reviews/hardware/amd-780g-chipset-review.ars/5
HD Playback:
For the same price or lower, I get AMD's 780G chipset based motherboard, which can work in hybrid mode with my 2600XT and provide much more FPS than just 2600XT in G33/P25 board.

Core2Duo is blazing fast but it seriously lacks the chipset and this is why AMD has performancerice ratio advantage.

 

[keith_j_snyder2]

For 6K u can easily go for P35.
Abit IP35-E for 5000/-
