Zebronics 8600GT 512MB with DDR2(not GDDR2).Maybe even Galaxy has 512MB version with DDR2 support but you won't get GDDR3 version with 512MB memory with any brands 8600GT .This amount of memory is not suggested for gaming but designing using this Lower-Mid ranged card.
Performance wise i don't expect the GDDR3 version to be on a higher side.
You can get this card in your price range.

^^7300 is nothing compared to the 8800GT... :D
MSI 8800GT costs around 10-12k

You could try the newer radeon hd 3650 512mb ddr3. I guess you can get it for about 7k.

Sapphire Radeon HD 3650 with 256 MB real RAM & upto 1GB HyperMemory.

256 MB is enough to play at 1280X1024 resolution. I m using one myself.

yep 8600gt would be fine enuf for normal usage. ensure that you get ddr3 one not ddr2. thre are many ddr2 cards floating around including the sapphire 3650 one.

^^Why not the 8800GT?
AFAIK, the 8800GT outperforms 9600GT. There is nothing new in the 9600 other than the new name.:)

The "New" thing bout the 9600GT is its price...Its almost 2k less expensive than 8800GT and the difference is clearly noticeable at resolutions higher than 1280*1024.
9600GT is for 10k now and 8800GT is bout 12~12.5k
Also u can look for ATI HD 3850 256 for 8k or 512 for 9.5k. Both are GDDR3 and DX 10.1.
