Well, if you live in Mumbai and look around Lamington Road like a dog, then you can get 6600GTs easily for 7-8K, or you can get 6800XT (not recommended), or 6800GS for 13K, or 6800GT (very rare) for 14K. You can also get 7600GS AGP and 7600GT AGP (however, you will need to search a bit for those...

Wouldn't ROPs matter a lot in case of performance for Supersample AA? While Shaders have definitely taken the front seat, fill rate should remain quite important for a while.. Besides, its the inquirer, don't take it too seriously. :)

Unfortunately, I couldn't find a decent 7600GT for AGP. The only AGP 7600GT I found was of a strange brand name which I'd never heard of before. I did not want to take the chance, though the price was cool for 11k. But it is also possible the guy was referring to 7600GS and not GT. As for the...

Hm....Well, On August 7, I made the largest generation-to-generation leap (TM). Now that should pretty much tell you what graphics card I have. :D

Transparency AA was always possible for the GeForce 6 series, it can be enabled by tweaking the drivers. NVIDIA has disabled it for marketing purposes (they want to push GF7).

Its not all that ludicrous undertaker :) All competitive ties with NVIDIA will have to disappear if AMD wants it. AMD now pulls ATI's strings. So if AMD wants it, ATI will have to develop chips to work with NVIDIA chipsets. The matter is whether NVIDIA will agree to use Radeon chips. VIA also...

GeForce 7900 GS is already in the US market. I don't know what TechReport is throwing, but the 7900 GS has been shipping in Dell computers for some time now. GeForce 7900 GS so far seems PCI-E only. But I do believe that I saw a Leadtek AGP 7800 GS which was called "essentially a 7900GT in AGP...

Well, I must reiterate that NVIDIA is a lauch partner of AMD. There was an announcement on the nZone site saying that NVIDIA fully intends to continue its partnership with AMD, and it doesn't look like they're gonna break up very soon. This puts AMD in an awkward position. They've got NVIDIA as...

.NET framework 3.0 is not required for ATI Catalyst 6.7. Plus, it is only a technical preview (essentially a beta), hence I do not recommend end users to install it. I've heard reports that Catalyst 6.7 improves OpenGL performance in Prey and other Doom 3 engine based games on Radeon X1800...

Hmm...I thought that Sony was an OEM of LiteOn and the quality difference was because Sony demanded better specifications...very interesting info. Thanks :) So its all about the money huh? Well, this is exactly the reason why India will never rise up when it comes to computer hardware.... So...

Now I'm getting PowerColor Radeon X800GTO for 9.7K and a GeForce 7600GT (brand not confirmed) for about 10.7k. Are these prices fair for AGP cards? Well, I'm not sure about the 7600, as the dealer messed up with PCIe and AGP cards a bit later, and since 7600GT AGP has just arrived in the USA...

Doesn't BIG make only mid-range and low-end cards (like 6200/6600/7300/7600 and the like) with its own branding? And can you educate me on why BIG is so bad?

I'm now also getting a GeForce 6800GS for about the same price (256MB). He said it was a "Big GeForce 6800GS", and when I asked whether it was XFX or BIG, he was not sure. He did quote another XFX 6800 card for 18k. The question is, does BIG even manufacture a GeForce 6800GS? Or is it just an...

A Lamington Road store in Mumbai. I refused the Zebronics crap 6800XT, and now I'm being offered a PowerColor Radeon X800GTO 256MB GDDR3 (12 pixel pipelines, 6 vertex processors, 400MHz core, 490MHz memory and AGP 8x of course) at 11k. Is that an OK price? I just cant find a 7600 AGP, they just...

Alright, I shall consider your comments. :) Thank you everyone for your help. :)

6800XT is a 6800GT with clock speeds reduced and pipelines cut by half, the XT has four vertex shaders and a 256-bit memory bus, which are the main advantages over the GeForce 6600GT series. Radeon X800 vanilla has 12 pixel pipes and 6 vertex shader units. Yeah 512MB seems a lot for the...

I will consider the used 6800 NU, but I would prefer getting a new one anyway. Strange thing is that the 6800XT AGP8X has 512MB memory while the Radeon X800 has only 256MB (though I expect the memclocks are higher than the 6800). The questions to be asked are: 1)Will 256MB memory suffice for...

Actually, I need an AGP card, and the prices are high possibly because of lower stocks of AGP cards. Either case, I found only these two, so which one is better? Or perhaps I can get an AGP 7600GT?

Hello guys, I was planning to purchase an interim graphics card to hold me till the DX10 games arrive. I've finally come at two choices: 1)GeForce 6800XT at 11.5K 2)Radeon X800 vanilla at about 14K Which of these is better? Which is more future proof? Thanks, Infernus :)
