Graphic Cards Buying advice on this Card

Iam from India itself.. From a place where computers hardware is always overpriced.. Trivandrum (Kerala)..

Initially i got a quote for 7.8K for the card, but after a bit of negotiation the price came down to 6K:clap: :clap: :clap: ..

I put the check in the mail yesterday. Hopefully I will be busy in the "Post your SS" thread within 2 weeks again.
Last time I paid around 6000Rs for the 6800xt, the 9600gt cost me 6400Rs.

The 8500GT was never meant to happen, I had planed from the beginning to buy a new card around Dec08/Jan09, the 8500GT was a good vista-ready card given to me since my M/B had no on board graphics.

I used to have a Zotac 9600GT AMP! Edition.. Performance almost comparable to a stock 8800GT..

Why did you dump the 9600 for the 8800 so soon?
Was there any failure or problem with the card?

What about slightly older games like Call of Juarez, Prey, FEAR, STALKER - SHADOW OF.., Infernal, Soldier of Fortune - Payback, etc, etc.

I never attempt to play new games on current-gen mid-range cards, its better to wait a while and let them become old-gen games and play them at their full graphics splendor.

I'll be playing mostly older games on this card, and when I run out of older games I will probably try newer games.
 
Received the card today.
Last time I paid 6600Rs for an xfx 6800xt, this one cost 200Rs less.

I can post 3dMark benchmark results if anyone is interested in comparing the 2 cards.
