oh ok .. i felt it was an insane decission of nvidia to stop 8 series while 9 series is not even out yet . .LOL

 

[davinci]

ok guys tell me will this work or not

I upgrade da damn mobo to XFX 630i Ultra for 3.2k and add 4gbs of ram.then will i be able 2 play nfs prostreet n some upcoming titles 4 alteast 1yr till i get enough bucks to buy a good graphics card.

So wat do you think will XFX 630i n 4gb of ram be able 2 handle prostreet at say min resolution?

Regarding RAM, your motherboard supports only DDR.

You are totally mistaken by the name they give it. What they mean is DDR Slots 1 to 2. Not 'DDR1' & 'DDR2'.

I personally don't think that you can get any GOOD graphics card for Rs. 5000 which would last you 2 years. As everyone else suggested, you will have to invest around Rs. 10000 for a graphics card which would last maybe 2 years for playing games with Med Settings.

The currently best graphics card (PCI-E) for money would be the following:

Sub 5k: AMD Radeon HD 2600 XT / nVidia GeForce 8600GT
Sub 8k: nVidia GeForce 8600 GTS
Sub 10k: AMD Radeon 3850
Sub 11/12k: nVidia GeForce 9600GT / AMD Radeon 3870
Sub 14k: nVidia GeForce 8800GT
Sub 16k: nVidia GeForce 8800GTS

Choose accordingly.

8600gts .. r u joking .. recommending this card to others ..

and 9600gt is for 9.5 k .. palit one - this has a third party heatsink

and 8800gt - gigabyte is for 12k ..and that too with third party cooler ..not the original noisy nvidia cooler ..

pls check facts before posting ..

Palit is not a Cheap A** brand!

Palit is the one who make cards for Gainward and Visiontech

well, yeah PaliT do have few excellent lineups! IMO, their Sonic+ cards are better than other models in the market! For instance, 8600GT Sonic+ is by far the best, i've seen. Plus, many of their cards come with Zalman Coolers!
However, except that Sonic series, rest of them are usual run of the mill. I would rather prefer MSI or XFX then!
Yes, yes XFX cards are already infamous due to their nasty heating habits! hehe..

 

[keith_j_snyder2]

Besides they are among the most economic brand on planet!

Palit 9600GT has Dual DVI, a HDMI and a Dispaly port and a S/PDIF In port.
And by far any other brand i have seen for the card doesn't give this much options.
And yes those SONIC cards are few of the best cards!

 

[spikygv]

hmm .. where do u get palit sonic+ and evga cards in india ?(preferably in b'lore )
and xfx is trying to save customers money by making them avoid buying gas stoves .their cards are good enough for that. . .

@yogi7272
Hey man ... I was just quoting the average prices ... NOT the EXACT prices. The list which I gave are some of the Best cards for the money you can pay for. Also the 8800GT/9600GT price varies with the amount of memory & the amt of overclocking done to it by manufacturers. It was just to give him an idea of what he can go for.

@j1n M@tt & sagargv
I think there is only 1 distributor in INDIA for eVGA products:
Tirupati Enterprises. They haven't officially announced on their site but on techenclave.com, there is an official page about this.

[keith_j_snyder2]

Tirupati also has PALIT distribution. I have talked in Delhi branch, donno about the others but if it is in Delhi then it should be with other branches too!

 

[j1n M@tt]

^^ya its ture, Triupati hav both EVGA and Palit......and they distribute Palit to even small towns here. But to get EVGA from them.....u hav to wait a little bit after ordering it.

 

[spikygv]

^^ whats the price of evga and palit sonic 8800GT 512mb and 9600GT ?
thanks.

 

[j1n M@tt]

^^I dunno correctly........we don't get too much orders for these brands. I hav to check it with my distributes for current prices.

 

[keith_j_snyder2]

Palit 9600GT comes for 9500/-
Donno whether it is sonic or else
EVGA must be little expensive!
