[tin_tin_jose]

[tin_tin_jose]

The Palit 8600GT (512 MB, DDR3) should be 3.8k and the POV 8600GTS (256MB, DDR3) is a little over 5k.

You can head over to this website below (Lynx Online eStore) and search for 8600gt cards, they have quite a few there withing your budget:

The Zotac 9600gt should be around 5k also.

For low power consumption try Ati 4670.

Any of the newer cards may be damn bottlenecked by the Procy. Try going for some extra RAM + 8600GT

I would agree. Get another gig of RAM into your system.

ya wht about psu i have a lame one that i got with the cabinet

 

[tin_tin_jose]

one more thing wht is PCI 2 is it like somekind of new slot or its the same as PCI e 16x

 

[anfjavid]

just dont bother about pci 2, 3 all that

I am having a 3800+ ,m2npv vm mobo , wit xfx 9600gt with 2gb ddr2 667 ram. and believe me man, there are no bottlenecks or anything like that. I was able to play TR: underworld, sf4 and all the latest games till last month.
Now i have upgraded to phenom with m3n mobo.

So...

Just buy a palit or xfx 9600gt (non- green edition) , add 1gb ram. That is enuf !!!.

I think the palit one should be around 4.5k...

so do I need to buy a decent power supply ???

so do I need to buy a decent power supply ??? for 9600gt or Ati4670

You should buy a decent psu for 9600gt, for 4670 it might not be required.

 

[tin_tin_jose]

which psu for 2k max

 

[haraakiri]

You should be able to get gigabyte 460w for around 2.2K
