Upgrade questions

[spikygv]

the lower cost one ( 1.8k ) is pcie. .the costlier one is agp. .
but i hardly think the 7300GT is worth 5k . .its u're choice. . get the card now. or save money and get a new rig.

I was going to upgrade my rig,but due to some problems I will have to wait for another year or maybe even 2 years. So was thinking of pumping up the system a bit. My pc graphics subsection is bad thanks to VIA UNICHROME PRO IGP, that's why a new graphics card.

Finally which brand XFX or POV or any other??

Is 7600 GT available in AGP version? If so what is it's cost?
And any other card having GDDR 3 Ram?

 

[spikygv]

7600GT agp is certainly available but out of ur budget.

Any 7300GT having GDDR 3 memory?
I got to know sparkle 7300GT has GDDR 3 memory, any other brand?

 

[spikygv]

Also if I purchase a 7300 GT having 512 MB instead of 256 MB DDR 2,will the extra memory help?

I have heard somewhere that 512 MB reduces performance than improviong it? Plz explain this?

Is the graphic core not able to handle 512 MB?

Good news : Budget updgraded to Rs.5000.

Now after lots of googling finally I am stucked with 7300GT & 6600GT??
Which one to buy?Some say 6600GT is good because it has GDDR3 memory whereas 7300GT has DDR2. But I have seen 7300 GT having DDR3 memory from brands like Palit & Galaxy.

Also who will give better performance 6600GT 128 MB DDR3 or 7300GT 256 MB DDR 3 ??
Plz give me your opinion,as this is very important to me as I won't be upgrading the pc too soon.

No problem if the graphics card is unable to run the latest games like crysis,assasins creed etc.

I am happy if majority games work at 800*600 at moderate settings.

Plz reply guys.

7300GT 256 mb ddr3 will be better i feel .. most of the times with entry level cards 512mb will be ddr2 while 256mb will be ddr3 . . more memory is helpful at higher resoltions. .512 will be needed for 1650x1050 and higher. . but the card is so weak that it cant handle high res. .so better to have smaller but faster memory.. .
