Diff Between ATI & Nvidia

S

What is main difference between ATI & Nvidia Graphics cards

Do ATI Cards runs well with Intel processors???
Do Nvidia cards runs well with AMD processors???

As ATI Radeon cards are more advance than Nvidia
coming with
Directx 10.1
OpenGL 2.1
Shader Model 4.1

Which is better Nvidia or ATI Radeon cards????

any graphics card works well with any processor.

which card is better depends on your wallet. Tell us your budget, your current PC config and then we can help you pick up the right model.

budget around 5000/- for graphics card...

CSD Processor// 2 GB RAM// PCI Express x16 slot...

hey is this card good
HIS Radeon HD 2600 XT IceQ Turbo Video Card - 512MB GDDR3

Comes with PCI-E & AGP both

and where will I find this card????
I m from mumbai

if your budget is around 5k, increase it to 6k and get 9600GT.

2600XT has become old.

Which motherboard do you have/are considering?
Crossfire or SLI if present in a motherboard play an important role too in determining ATi v nVidia.

i personally prefer nvidia over ati due 2 better driver support.

S

Thnks XFX 9600GT 512DDR3 is good option

but which SLI support motherboard is available???
intel/asus/MSI???

H

^^^ wats ur budget??
currently i'm using MSI P7N SLi Platinum and its a pretty gud mobo for 8.4k.supports 3-way SLi.

@ 5K you can get Palit HD4670 ( Rs. 5250 may be )

But I'll recommend spending Rs.250 more & get Sparkle 9600GT which is just only Rs. 5500 - I think it's the cheapest 9600GT card in here currently available.

@ hellgate
Is that mobo is based on nvidia 750i SLI chipset ?

H

^^^ yup its based on 750i SLi chipset

if a motherboard is based on AMD and builtin ATI graphic , can i use nvidia graphics card on my PCIE slot , will it work ?
will there be any conflict between ATI and NVIDIA ?

^^There never is a conflict between ATI and nVidia. You can put ATI car on nVidia chipset based board and nVidia card in ATI chipset based board.

Some older ATI chipsets have trouble with nvidia gfx cards though they are from pentium 4 & agp era - I know this coz I had once faced this kind of prob.

But every new amd/ati chipset which supports pci-e standard doesn't have any kind of prob with nvidia graphics cards - I know this coz I've installed nvidia gfx card with ati chipset mobo for a friend.

and I am using ATI graphics on nvidia chipset based motherboard

I've a budget of 10k.
Configuration's a bit old
p4 with ht
asus p5rd1-vm
1.5 gb ram(DDR1)
Right now I've a nvidia 6200

guys there is a separate sticky thread for gfx card quieries.
@xenothium adding any high end card is overkill for your system

beside that palit 9600GT also come in around 5.5K

@xenothium
surelly ati HD 4850 wud be a nice card, but ur system cant tax the card even 50%.
So ny card above a 9500GT wud be a waste i think as CPU is highly bottleneck and mem too.

have ur cpu, mobo and mem upgraded, for the time being get a 9500GT for 3.5k.
