I'm thinking on upgrading, right now I'm selling, all my 8500GT, 7600GS, and X600
after just a little try, I think I like ATi...

want to ask, what is the best graphic card with RM400 - RM500, pls state ur reason, right now considering on 3850 but my friends said that DX10.1 is not something can be use now...

what I really cares is performance and its graphic projection, I've notice certain GC, even having a high Core Clock, pretty much doesn't project a nicer image, what the different is the detailedness and the frame rate (the image is not flashy)

since I use 8500GT with Core/Memory Speed at 600/1200 the new card must be better to that Spec. And I really to know what the different the cards will make when the capacity (256mb 512mb) and Interface (64bit 128bit) are different.

What can u recommend? what new card can I get.... ur concern might affecting my new GC, planning on buying early next month.

If u want to offer ur used GC, I really like to see the Screenshot of games i know. I really confuse right now.

p/s: I'm a real hardcore gamers w/o hardcore money.... its quite annoying when the graphic lags when burning tire in ProStreet Drag, and When missile swarming in Tiberium Wars.

err... 8 series but cheaper? U sure this NVIDIA will not disappoint me?

much more better than 8600 series.. 112 SP some more.. what can u expect? in the meantime, save up ur money a bit more la.. contain ur lust in gaming a bit more too then..

If I really can hold the "LUST" until its been released, how much do u expect the price?

wrong place to ask question. suppose u go to ask at here:
http://forum.lowyat.net/HardwareQuestions&Answers

if u want better image quality . ATI is ur choice

around RM600 for the 384MB and RM700+ for the 768MB..

I'm planning to change this thread into buying thread later, but need suggestion what i'm going to buy

Its definitely, what ur suggestion?

not bad wo is 8800gs is out with 256bit also..

This time round both Ati and Nvidia are offering equal IQ right now .

My suggestion is , ATi HD3850 . Never look at core/memory clock alone to determine a 3d card performance . It depends on the overall architecture like how you can't compare CPU clock for clock .

The HD3850 easily offer double to triple performance over your 8500GT depends on resolution and games . Believe me , you won't be disappointed with it .

p/s 8800GS only comes in 192bit flavor

192 bit..

yeah, both do not differ much..

i think i will stick with HD3850... the "LUST" cant be hold anymore, hehe...

A bigger memory width 256 bit as opposed 128 bit makes a lot of difference in calculating your graphic card Maximum bandwidth and that one is essential if you are playing very taxing games like Crysis and etc

A graphic card with more onboard Video memory can render a game images better as it has more space to process the images before projceting it onto the monitor.Recommended are 512MB for now.

Core clock and memory clock makes little difference to the overall performance of the card.Try to look into the data width of the card,Direct X version supported,and the amount of memory it has.Do not buy cards which uses Main RAM memory as they perform worse than their equivalent counterpart

when the expected this thing will be released? u think its better than HD3850?? anyone knows?

Go for 2900GT

New RM 514 only..

I think i decide to use HD2600, do u know any HD2600 without fan? cos i use 8500GT before, the fan sounds like a chopper and it really annoyed.

HD2600 aint gonna get u far compared to the 8500.

wtf for god sake dun get 400++ gc
get 300++ oni 7900gt,1900xt,1900gs,1850pro

ya lo..2600 n 8500 performance just tha same.. no big differences
get ur self HD3850

I'm looking for DX10... my friends said that if using DX9 GC on Vista, the graphic will not really stable. Plus, Starcraft 2 will not be released on DX9 and Win XP SP3 doenst sound like having a DX10..

and the HD2600 I'll be taking is just RM399... not reach RM400 yet... haha...

That's why I want Ati

aaeeeiii, didn't know that there is soooo much diff in favour of ATI....should have kept the x2600 !!!! tx for the info bro...

and to those said 8500GT and HD2600 not much different, i got this... i think its will not be quite accurate... but it does reliable, its the FPS benchmark taken here.



the blue bar is the mark of the 8500GT and the HD2600

the red bar is for ATI
the blue bar for Nvidia

p/s: I really like on HD3850 however my PSU only powered at 305 watt... my friend said the power is not enough. and my budget are getting low.
