Graphic Cards Nvidia's 6800GS.

Vishruth · Jan 31, 2006

AnandTech has a recent article on the 6800GS: http://www.anandtech.com/printarticle.aspx?i=2683

I'm really impressed. The eVGA 6800GS is available for as low as 190 USD... and it works so much better than a 6600GT! Does anybody know how much 6800GS costs in India?

18K XFX XXX Edition Delhi Prices...

Vishruth · Jan 31, 2006

Ouch. 16.5k is a little too much for a 6800GS... around 12k would have been more reasonable. But thanks for the info, Switch.

^^ i think its pretty decent pricing .... considering the fact u are getting performance like 6800GT and sometimes better than that ....

Chaos · Jan 31, 2006

^^The real 6800GT is available for around 230$ in the US now. So there's no justification for the 18K price in India.

Rahul · Jan 31, 2006

^^ don't compare with US prices .... 6800GT's are still 20-22k in india .....

and thats XXX edition i don't know the details but looks like special edition with higher clocks ..... i think stock ones will be cheaper ...

i remember someone tellin me that its avlble for 16K...not sure though...

18k is a bummer price. 7800 GT is worth that much.

Aditya · Feb 1, 2006

Ahem, that way Aces, you can get a 7800GTX for 18k.

This is India, get used to high prices, thats why i always buy my Stuff from abroad :bleh:

Aces170 · Feb 1, 2006

I am saying a 7800GT should cost 18k in India, it just cost 12000 in US.

Rahul · Feb 1, 2006

all products are highly priced in india ....

TheMask · Feb 1, 2006

^^ nope.. opty's an exception..

n Vish, if u r thinking of getting one, perhaps u shud consider a X800XL.. perf is in the same league of 6800Gs but its available in Mumnao for about 15k INR with local warranty, IIRC..

Aditya · Feb 1, 2006

How about mine? :bleh:

Thanks. But I don't like ATI's linux drivers, so all ATI cards are ruled out of my list. I'm going to wait a couple of months before buying a new gfx card. I'm not playing any games right now, so I don't need a powerful gfx card just yet.

I'd like to see how the 7600 line performs before jumping into the fray.

U call it decent...I call it :bleh: .....Its grossly overpriced simply because there r no good cards below this one except the 6600GT which is now long in the tooth...and has outlived its usefulness anyways..

trying to tell??....pardon me sparky...I already said (told) it...no malice intended but the GS is overpriced....I think the 7800GS is what folks wanting mid end should look for....

The only upside here is ATI doesn't haev anything in the bag here as the X1600 is a lower end part and the huge gap in that and the X1800 series mean that NVIDIA scores heavily here.....U savvy??
