Graphic Cards Want Graphic Card

[DriftKingNT]

I want a Graphic Card.
Price Limit: 6,000
Usage: Watching Movies, Viewing Hi-res images, Vista Aero.

 

[kkndka]

get a second hand Ati X1900XT

 

[DriftKingNT]

Why second hand, I want new within my budget.

I don't need much performance as no gaming on PC. I have X360 for gaming.

Get HD 3650 from KMD, 79$, will come to close to 4-4.5k, excellent card, performance equal to 8600GT 256MB GDDR3. Also try to find HD 3690, which is slightly slower than HD 3850, best bang for buck. U dont need X1900XT for Watching Movies, Viewing Hi-res images, Vista Aero. U need silent, cool and GPU with H/W decoding, H264 Acceleration. Newer version of 8400GS has very powerful DVD features.

I would suggest a 8500gt or Ati 2600pro, the're cheap(4.5-5.5K) , locally available and are more than enough for you requirements. The ati also has hdmi out which would he useful if you ever decide to connect your pc to a Lcd tv. Just a suggestion - save the 1k and get a creative live sb 5.1 sound card.

 

[_pappu_]

^^for that price(around 5k) he can just go get a 8600gt

easily available, indian warranty

 

[DriftKingNT]

I think I should go for XFX 8500gt. What is the exact price & how much does Fatal1ty edition 8500 cost.

@ReNaGade I already have creative Audigy, so don't need live 5.1.

 

[DriftKingNT]

How about XFX's NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT Fatal1ty 256MB RoHS 650 MHz.

XFX- Products GeForce 7600 GT Fatal1ty

How much does it cost?

You dont need to spend 6k if you dont want any gaming , 8400GS for 2.2k would be good nuff for aero , watching HiDef videos and HiREs images

 

[Aces170]

Get an ATI card for your purposes, its UVD is slightly better then NV's as some one mentioned KMD can get you an HD 3650, get that its the best you can get.

Also if you dont want it for gaming why you opting for fatality editions ? and too of castrated chipsets like a 8500GT.

7600 GT is good for gaming, does not have Hi-Def video decoder chips like HD series amd the Geforce 8 series. I would choose the ATI cards, purely for their better and efficient UVD's.

ATI HD2600XT got it yesterday frm prime for my friend its for 6.2k and the pro is for 5k.

also why are u digging up old cards which are not having DX10 support or opelGL 2.1 support

 

[memnom]

I would go with Punjab's suggestion, its good enough even for a lil gaming if u ever decide to, and for ur requirements 3650 is a Very good if not the best VFM choice.

 

[DriftKingNT]

How about 7300GS, 512mb comes for 2700, does it support aero?

 

[ReNaGAde]

There is no point in investing in old technology (7 Series cards) , Opt for a hd 2600 pro or a newer hd 3650 instead with HDMI and you'll be content with it for atleast another year.

 

[DriftKingNT]

so i think i should buy HD 2600 Pro, which brand should i go for, Asus, Sapphire, Zebronics or something else.

 

[ReNaGAde]

Saphire does ati card best , so find out from katmandude which card he has in stock or get for you.

Seems to be a good deal ! , seller is also willing to negotiate.

My Monitor has DVI-D connector and 8600 GT has DVI-I connector, what is the difference and will I have any problem connecting them?
