again worng section to post in mate....Plz post all hardware realted queries in the hardware section and specially the Gfx card quires in this sticky thread *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13761

btw the cheapest one ummmmmmmm........now i hate recommending this one but its quite obvious the XFX Geforce fx 5200 with 128MB Vram at 2.5k fair enough to handle the above mentioned games at normal resolutions

whts ur budget?

btw if u go for a 5200 card then get some 256 RAM xtra too for ur system

consider buying a 5700 LE card for abt 6k

but do buy a 256 mb ram stick for sure

and do overclock ur system a bit to get some performance increase

I think saurabh is right go for a geforce fx 5200 256mb.hmmmmm... i was really lucky to get one for 2700(sc hnd but only 1 mnt old) with orgnl fifa 04 bundled and 3 yrs guarant.

 

[Sourabh]

i meant get a fx 5200 card + 256 Mb ram xtra

and not fx5200 with 256 mb RAM

go for any fx5200 card there aint much difference

Hi chwamiki, Gaming these days has become an costly affair. Also there isn't anything thats best yet very cheap . If you want the best in India u better be ready to shell out. Also another thing to keep in mind is that games these days have complex physics etc. so they require a faster processor as well as memory bandwidth, both of which ou are sadly lacking. If you have the money to splurge i'd say go for a complete overhaul. To play the latest games at decent settings and resolutions u need atleast a sub 10k card. If u can afford better nothing like it.

hey allwyndlima

hey the graphics card u mentioned costs 2.5k what does this mean 2500 or 25000.and does it even support doom3,hl2 and nfsu2.please reply man.

 

[Sourabh]

2.5k = 2.5 x 10^3 = 2,500 Rs

u can get a XFX 5200 128 Mb card for abt 2,800 Rs.
