The following are the graphics cards with their prices. (NOTE: Prices are of Mysore).

1) XFX 5700LE 128MB 128-bit : Rs. 5900/-
2) XFX 5700LE 256MB 128-bit : Rs. 7200/-
3) XFX 5700ULTRA 128 MB VIVO : Rs. 13500/-
4) 5500 256MB : Rs. 5900/-
5) FX6600 256MB : Rs. 13500/-

@ Cyber - Yes some of the rates quoted by you are unreasonable.
Firstly the Nvidia Geforce 6600(128Mb) costs about 10.5-11k, the 256MB should not cost anything more than 12k. More importantly the 6600GT (128MB AGP) which is a much better card with core clock frequency 200Mhz higher than the 6600 and the memory clock speeds higher by 200 Mhz / (250Mhz -in case of the XFX Brand ) costs Rs. 12,300.

The rates for the 5700LE and Ultra also seem to be on the higher side, however please avoid them because they suck at Dx 9.0 games.

Here are the rates for the ATi cards -
9600Pro - 7,200 (Gigabyte)
9600Pro - 7,600 ( Club-3D)
9600XT - 9.6-10.2k (Club -3d)
9600XT 256MB VIVO - 11,900 (PowerColor)

wots the price of ati radeon 9500.. i was gonna go for ati radeon 9600se or fx 5200 128mb.. but the graph show 9500 is better.. wots the price ?

 

[Major-Minor]

ATi have stopped production / discontinued the 9500 series, you will be lucky to find any new ones in that series, especially in India.
However if your budget is say between 6-7.5k go for then you have a choice between the 9550 to 9600Pro, the 9600Pro being the best of the lot.
The Gigabyte 9600Pro @ Rs. 7.2k is a good deal.

Forget any thoughts about buying the XGI V8, in today's graphics card industry there are only two companies you can trust for reliability and performance them being ATi and Nvidia. Though the dealer is ready to sell it to you for only 2.5k, I am sure you won't like the performance, technical support will be very hard to come-by, the card's drivers will be very immature and unreliable, plus since it is second hand you won't get a warranty.

Now coming back to the 6600GT, if you want a AGP solution with VIVO, you can get the Gainward 6600GT - *www.i-tech.com.au/products/6892_Gainward_6600GT_AGP_6600GT_128Mb_DDRIII.asp

The MSI GeForce 6600GT AGP also has VIVO support. The model number being NX6600GT-VTD128.

The rates for the 6600GT AGP from XFX have come down btw, the 6600GT AGP now costs about 12.3k, I am unaware as to whether it has VIVO support.

Certainly U r right but at 2.5K getting a dual gpu card's idea is nice. anyway right now I have it in my PC for trial only. it runs the games nicely with the new version of reactor driver (without any sacrifice in image quality as was the case with earlier drivers). support for FSAA has increased from 4x to 8x (AF supported is now 16x), and it seems finally XGI driver has shown some maturity by giving up "optimizzations" (cheating lke nVidia did back a year). This card has VIVO and gives nice FPS in all games except it makes a lot of noise.

Thanks Major-Minor.
Is the 9600Pro 128 MB?? Also whats the difference between Gigabyte card and the Club-3d card?? Why so much of price difference. Also how much warranty they give?

 

[Major-Minor]

Yep both the 9600Pro's are 128MB, the difference between Gigabyte and Club-3D, which I am aware of is the memory clock speed, while the Gigabyte has a memory clock speed of 600Mhz, the Club-3D runs @ 680Mhz. The club-3D card comes with a 2-year warranty and I think so does the Gigabyte card.

Hey man, major minor, u have to realise that cyber shastri is from Karnataka. The government here is killing us here with taxes, taxes & more taxes. The prices shastri has quoted are infact cheaper if u ask me. I went searching for a 9600 pro & found nothing for less than Rs. 10k. Man I have almost given up my plans to buy a gfx card. I don't need any gfx shit. I am happy with my PS2. They can take doom 3 & half like 2 & shove it up their ass . I don't care anymore.

 

[supersaiyan]

xcuse me borg but u can't really compare a pc and a console. they are totally different things. also technically speaking there is a pc inside a console.
i got the same 6600 gt vivo support gfx card. it rocksss. btw the gfx cards above the 5700le are pretty good at handling dx9 games. i have a 5950 ultra golden sample and am trying to compare it when overclocked(finally i have learnt how to) with the 6600gt but the 5700le is totally useless. i would rather recommend an ati if ur budget is limited.

 

[Major-Minor]

@borg - You could ask your friend /relative here (Mumbai) to bring the card from here when they visit you (or someone of your friend/relative who regularly comes to Mumbai - would it still be liable to Central Sales Tax / Local State Sales Tax, I don't think so) or ask them to courier it . No need to get all cranky on me buddy, I am just helping out here by letting everyone here the latest hardware rates. I did not mock cybershastri did I?, he asked whether the rates were unreasonable and I answered to that.

@fLash - Hey flash how about posting some screenshots on your XGI, I am eager to see how they come up.

 

[Sourabh]

man i m so lucky i stay in Mumbai

atleast we get these things so cheap

man 5700 LE 256 Mb 128 bit one costs abt less than 6k here

tht sums it all

 

[borg]

Hey man, major minor, I was not cursing u or anything. Just cursing the system.

 

[cybershastri]

Beleive me man I gathered the rates from four hardware shops and all quoted almost the same prices (+or-100Rs.). I know that the prices are higher compared to other states. Obviously one cant go the Mumbai or Chennai just to buy a graphics card. Are the prices any lesser in Bangalore or is it the same case??

As far as buying the graphics card is concerned I have dropped the plan as for now. Will have to be satisfied with MX 440 SE . Will think of buying it later when the prices drop or when i go to other state due to work. The Karnataka government is horrible

 

[borg]

Man, we karnatakans are cursed. First of all nothing is available here. I have been searching all over the place in Bangalore & most of the dealers don't have club 3d. Many haven't even heard of them!!!. The only ones available are Powercolor & Gigabyte & that too very scantily. Most of the models discussed here are not available anywhere. For ex, the 9600 pro 128 MB is nowhere to be seen in bangalore. They only have 256 MB version for Rs. 10k . what kinda shit is this???


I don't know when the next budget happens man. This karnataka is totally trash when comes to computer products.

 

[Sourabh]

dude hook up with some guys in mumbai or chennai and get a graphics card

How right you are!! I searched the entire town of Mysore and i could not find 9600Pro 128 MB. And 256 MB version costs 10.5k as i had mentioned earlier. Most of the dealers that i asked dont sell ATI brand graphics card and those that do only sell some of the models. Good you pointed out that 9600pro 128MB is not available in Bangalore either. I was planning to go to Bangalore now I have changed my mind. Thanks, you saved my money. Oh God, get me out of this state.
