Ok, if that is the real Zebby PSU as said by Choto, then I m going for Zebby 500W.

Although 400W should be enough too, don't u think. My full fledged system requires 260W of real Power, so a Zebby 400W should be enough.

8600 GT would recomend a 450 watts at-least where as one may add few more HDD and stuff like that...

For agrument I would say man any local 450 watts @ Rs. 400/- is running our X2/C2D setups with 8600 GT without any issue, but then again its better in sense of support as Zebronics will come with 3 years warrenty !! and on 24x7 heavy load these local brands last at max 1.5 years !! :lol:

I inquired about Radeon 3650 HD & Zebronics Platinum 500W SMPS here. I am getting Sapphire Radeon 3650 HD with 256 MB DDR3 RAM here for Rs 5,500. Should I deal ?

The SMPS I am getting here is for Rs 2,200 so I am not going to buy from here. Choto, I want you to help me with this, inquire about the cost of Platinum 500W SMPS & also what will be the shipping charges for Kolkata to Lucknow, give me your yahoo ID if possible, we need to talk on chat for this.

It's sapphire Radeon 3650, but here is a confusion. Sapphire has only one modal with 512 MB RAM, so how can he say 256 MB?

One of my friend is going to delhi in few days, I might tell him to buy & bring from there. When do u come online on yahoo for chat?

Now Price would be Rs. 1500/- + 4% and i have to find out how much would they ask for shiping...

So price will be Rs 1,560 + shipping charges. Do one thing, inquire in First flight courier that how much will they charge for it to ship to Lucknow, this way I can give u the shipping charges back. Write the price of SMPS as less then Rs 1,000

The sapphire site says that HD3650 is available in both 256mb and 512mb version. But it only supports Opengl 2.0 *www.sapphiretech.com/us/products/products_overview.php?gpid=208&grp=3

Woops, I missed that part. So the vendor is saying he can get me Sapphire Radeon 3650 with 256 MB RAM on order from Delhi for Rs 5,500. Should I deal?

But it only supports Opengl 2.0 *www.sapphiretech.com/us/products/products_overview.php?gpid=208&grp=3

That's fine. OpenGL 2.0 has a long time to go obsolete & I won't miss OpenGL 2.1 anyway. OpenGL 2.0 is enough to write long shader for mental ray etc.

But all other brands says 3650 has OpenGL 2.1

According to Official web page of ATI Radeon HD 3650, it support DirectX 10.1 & OpenGL 2.0.

Good enough for me, my work includes more of DirectX (Vista WPF, MS Blend) now then OpenGL. Besides, 3Ds Max works better in DirectX mode compared to OpenGL mode on these gaming grade cards.

If you guys can inquire about the costs in your city, plz do so. It will give me an estimate idea of what to expect in price. As Choto said, Rs 5.5k for a Radeon HD 3650 with 256 MB RAM is a good deal.

Just to confirm :D

Rs. 4700/- + 4% (4.9k) for 256MB XFX 8600 GT vs 5.5k 3650 HD :D yup, I would say it is a nice deal :D

Xpert vision 8600GT with 512 MB RAM is available for Rs 6,600. :D

Fine then, I am going to talk to the dealer tomorrow & if everything is sorted out properly then I am ordering the graphics card.

Just waiting for Kalpik's reply though from Delhi.

So, this does for my graphics card. Choto is inquiring about the SMPS' shipping & lodging rates & will soon send me one. The only thing left now to buy is a LCD Monitor, oh well....that next month or I will have to spend money from my "Date Account" :D

Hey, Arya was supposed to transfer me Rs 1,000. He has not transfered yet....time to remind him

Hey it's my thread for my workstation, don't hijack..it's mine mine mine mine :D

Hi! Well I want to know how the chassis fan speed can be monitored too? In my rig it shows it as 0.

If you have the chasis connector connected to Molex power then it will not be monitored & will run always at full speed. Where is the chassis fan? rear or side panel?

Also please let me know the method to calculate the power requirememnt of SMPS.

Look at page 1 of this thread.
