Atleast look at a 8600GT if you are on a budget.

i guess he is looking for an AGP 4x/8x card

 

[salilrane]

i guess he is looking for an AGP 4x/8x card

yeah but PCIe express also prefferd BTW my budget is 2.5k

plzz sugest some cards buddies

 

[Psychosocial]

You have both PCI-ex16 and AGPx8 slots

anyways, if you say so, I recommand a Galaxy/MSI/ASUS 8400GS 256MB for that budget.

 

[salilrane]

@ KPower Mania

err .. i will have to chk tht first Asus P5K PL CM this is mine mobo

wud u recommend PCI-ex16 ?? rather than AGP

Asus P5K PL CM this is G31 chipset mobo and u will need a PCI-ex card ...and go for what kpower has to say ! ..all the cards he was talking about are PCI-ex card

@ imgame2 , kpower

thankxxx

all abocve mentioned card are available for 2.5 k rightt ????
performance wise which is VFM ??

 

[comp@ddict]

Wait, haven't u heard of the ASUS card.

Well ASUS launched 8600GT PCI Express 256mb ddr3 and the cost, 3k(if you order from lynx-india.com with VAT and shipping).

Gigabyte is around 2.6k
MSI is 2.7k
ASUS around 2.6-2.8k.

The most VFM will be Gigabyte.

PS - There is a Sparkle variant of this card which retails around 2.5-2.6k and should be considered .

I recommanded him a 8600GT earlier but he dosent want to exceed the 2.5-2.6k mark

 

[comp@ddict]

well, it's 2.8k without shipping(buy directly from vendor)

What else cud he ask, and it's way better than a 8400GS or 8500GT, for his good.
Don't eat pizza for a month, save 200bucks and get the 8600GT

@ K power

No, wait!!

Buy the ASUS 8600GT 256MB GDDR3 for 3k (0.5k hardly makes a diff.) coz its performance will be 60-70% more than a 8400GS.

We prefer u to get atleast 8600GT coz 8400GS is a dumb card and it really sucks..... Its better u raise ur budget a little and get a Mercury 8600GT for around 3k.... If u still wish 2 go for 8400GS.. its upto u.

BTW For what u buying the card... playing games?.. or just watching movies....?
For the latter 8400GS is enough, but it is no harm to invest some addnal bucks to get a worthy product......

ASUS 8600GT @3k

then why waste 3k on a dumb company's card like Mercury ???

 

[furious_gamer]

@KPowerMania

Here Mercury 8600GT - 3k
ASUS 8600GT - 3.4k

Thats y i prefer him Mercury.. if he can get ASUS @ that price then sure that'd be good pick...
