Try out 6200, 5700, 5800,5900 . But dont take below 5700 as they arnt good enough for todays games. Also see that 6200 is better as it has Shader Models 3.0 and good features. Try to put lil more money and go for 6600.

Geforce 6600. Nothing less. Price may be a little above 5k but it's way better than the 6200.

Anything below 6600 GT is a waste of money, man. You can get hold of it in about Rs. 1,500 extra.
In fact, I am inclined to think that even 6600 GT is a waste of money. Can't even run 'TrackMania Nations ESWC' at 'Very High Quality'.

Is it possible to install more than two cards in nVidia's SLi setup. I thought only ATI's crossfire config allowed you to do that? :?

In fact Nvidia's SLI solution came earlier than ATI's crossfire solution

@aryayush: I don't think it cannot. I have a GeForce 6600 (non-GT) and it still runs Trackmania Nations at Very High Quality at around 35 fps.

You can go for the XFX GeForce 6600 256mb card. It is a bit higher than ur budget(7,500) but it's a very good card and offers excellent value for money.

Meanwhile, this can help you: *www.techenclave.com/forums/hardware-prices-GraphicsCards-24.html
