Hey ppl,

I am very confused over which GFX...to get...!! Well i have asked for overall config

here -> http://www.techenclave.com/forums/suggestions-for-config-of-45k-84179.html
Suggestion on even this thread are welcomed

But still... wanted to get get special suggestions on GFX...:D

My budget for GFX i guess is 10K(+2K - if no other option):)

Well ill be using it wid E6300...and yeah ill be gaming a lot.....Plus...i have no chance of upgrading to DX8 Series.....so this is Final..! :no:

Well i have myself....shortlisted...few...but....am very confused..!!:S
7600GT,7800GT,7900GS...

Also please mention the Best Brand for whichever u suggest and its approx price..:)

Thanx...:)
 
I would say go for a ATI X 1900 GT or 1950 Pro, Sapphire 1950Pro is for 14k.... 1900GT would be slightly cheaper. Miles ahead of theNvidia cards you have mentioned in picture quality.
 
14K wud b very high i guess...besides i hv heard tht ati cards heat up fast.. n i wont be using any extra cooling...

so wud it b worth..

whats price of 7900GS and 7900GT...

I got the msi 7900gt for 19k....I would highly recommend this card as it will help you in playing in good resolustions....if it is in higher range get a 7800gt as it is also a good card and can be over clock to reach the desired results....
 
Which one is better from X 1900GT and XFX 7900GS...

Where does 7800gt coms in above comparison? what abt prices for each..

m very confusd abt prices..if anyone cn clear up prices...
 
dont go for new card buy.
there was one 7800GT with 2yrs local warranty would be good deal for 11k i guess. or 7900GS is good choice for 14k.
i dont know about x1900GT but it should be more powerful than these ones but will cost more i think.
check avaliability of such card.
i would rate 7800GT < 7900GS < x1900GT

7900GS looking good options if you overclock it then it can give you good performance.
 
Well if i were u, i wud go wid the 7900GS..its the best bang for the buck n it ocs like hell for sure..n its better than the 7800GT without too much of a price premium.. since i was a little short on the gfx budget, i settled for the 7600gs..this card is again a very good ocable card..

I had an ATI 9800 pro AGP card before n one thing about ATI i can say is tht i'm not going back to ATI again any time soon solely because of a driver issue.. ATI drivers wont install on my server 2003 system as ATI doesnt have a driver version for server 2003..plus ATI is withdrawing support for the old control panel n will have only Catalyst drivers update from now on and the new catalyst drivers wont install if u do not have service pack 2 and .Net framework.. Not that i cannot get service pack 2, i hate all such restrictions..:no:

The Nvidia driver in comparison is very flexible..same driver wud easily install on both XP n 2003 without any problems..n it dont care if u have service pack 2 /.net framework or not..

My opinion..stick to Nvidia....:)
 
I have had Nvidia 7600 GS and now AtiX1900GT.... of course the cards are in different range, but truly I feel the difference in picture quality more than anything else. I use the pc as HTPC as well and I am so satisfied with ATI.
 
@RYAN: thanx for ur exp. besides as i mentiond i hv heard dt ati cards heats up fast...

can any1 pls come up wid prices...its too confusin in here..

cz even that is one constraint...

besides ìs the diff betn 7800GT n 7900Gt big and worth the extra price v hv 2pay mre...
 
Hey dipen, from what i've heard, the 7900GT is on par or only slightly better than the 7800GTX and the 7800GTX is only about 5% better than the 7800GT..so that way, there is not much of a performance gain to take home with the 7900GT..plus the price premium on 7900 gt makes it a costly solution..the 7900GS in comparison hits the sweet spot with its price to performance ratio..

7800 is pass now..if u have money go for 7900GT..if slightly low on it..go for the 7900GS..:)

Also, the 7900 made on the 90 nm archi is more ocer friendly than the 7800 which is a 110 nm architecture..take ur pick..:)
 
hmmmm!!!

so my choices comes down to

1) XFX 7900GS(????k)

2) ATI X1950 PRO - SAPPHIRE - (13.5k-14k)

Can anyone pls compare these two...

and wil i face any driver or heatin issues wid ATI

theres no comparing these 2 cards as they belong to different categories from price n performance point of view..of course the ATI x1950 pro will beat the crap out of the 7900GS in every benchmark but then u are paying tht much more for the ATI x1950...and as i said, the latest catalyst drivers require sp2 and .net framework and there is no driver support for win server 2003..

so if u use xp with sp2 n download the .net framework, u shud be fine with ATI's latest drivers.. as for the 7900GS,it is around 10k..though i'm not sure.. pls confirm with ur dealer....or other members here..:)
