Graphic Cards Suggest Graphics Card for me @5k

[Aladdin]

Well i am not a hardcore gamer, i play games like World in Conflict, Sims, GTA san andreas, NFS Underground etc... I have no intention of playing hi-fi games in future also.

The games i wrote above still work on my system with onboard Graphics. I gotta buy one so that i can attach my monitor with a DVI port(right now on analog). My budget is maximum 5k.

So Please suggest me a decent GFX card.

"MAXIMUM BUDGET 5K".

Is there gonna be any price fall next month?

Regards

7600gt would fit in that

how about 8500GT ? its 4.5K or something..

I am also thinking about 8500GT, but will it be worth to buy used 8600GT if i get in my range??

Should i take dd3 feature under consideration?

 

[Striker10]

^^ sure 8600GT is much better than 8500GT. Whats your playing resolution?

if you can, get it with ddr3 chips

My LCD is a Viewsonic 1930WM widescreen... resolution 1440x900.

BTW, will i be able to get a used 8600GT (DDR3) anyways under 5k before i start hunting for it?

if you are interested i have a 6800gt pciex for sale. similar in performance to a 7600gt & better in many games.

lemme know if you are interested.

if not then i feel if you can extend your budget then try to get a 8600gt. i dont know the current price of it but if its around 5.5k or so its a decent buy.

 

[abhaybhegde]

you can get a 8600gt for about ..5.3-6k...however it also depends on duration of usage

as for now just close ur eyes n go for 8600gt ..best bang for buck...go for any make if u dont wanna overclock otherwise palit or xfx wud b fine...
both r close to 5500...

8600GT is more than twice powerful the 8500GT. The Zebronics 8600GT costs just 5.7K.. get dat.. the best deal..

Well ... if u can wait till nxt month... i'll be selling off my XFX 8600GT XXX Edition... to get the 8800GT

 

[X-Rebel]

Even i m selling my Zebronics 8600GT next month, if u can wait, u can buy mine.

I'm selling a new eVGA 7600GS for 4.4k

 

[thebanik]

This seems to have become now a market thread. BTW 8600GT anyday over 8500GT. 8500GT is not meant for serious gaming at all.

 

[memnom]

wait a bit m8, the time would be ripe in a month.

Better get a 8600GT. As others have mentioned, on the best VFM cards available right now. No use going for a 8500GT IMO.

Prefer the Galaxy 8600GT as its factory OC'd to some level. Should be some 6k these days/

 

[PhOeNiX]

well as of now , i think no CM fans on the Galaxy OCed are available , and even the ddr3 version is out of stock in most of the places. If you are ready to wait , maybe the the ones equipped with da CM fan+HS might come in

 

[X-Rebel]

Zebronics 8600GT at 5700, the best deal.

Okey guys, i have made up my mind for xfx 8600GT. I read some bad reviews for the zebronics version, so i am off with zebby cards totally.

So now i am looking for a used xfx 8600GT under my budget. I think as the new card is around 6.3k, i will easily get a used one well under 5k.
