u better go for gt series, if ur first priority is gaming.
XFX 8500GT 256MB - 3500
POV 8500GT 256MB - 4200
i think 8500 gt will fit in ur budget.

XFX 8500GT has some heating problems as I've seen and hence I skipped that and bought BIG/Galaxy 8500GT 256MB for 2,750/-

You could also think about getting 8600GT 256MB for about Rs.4.6k. Believe me the difference in performance is worth the price you pay!

spend 1-1.5 K more & get a one xfx 8600 GT 256 MB GDDR3 gfx card.
It's the best vfm & will give U performance way better that 8400 or 8500.

Ok, just leave XFX out of the sight. Better choose between MSI or Palit. They have better 8600GT models.

its like that in bangalore and delhi.
in other places, you need to fork out lots of cash.
but in the national and tech capitals of India, you get sweet deals.
even dell service center is located in bangalore - a big advantage to DellDesk and DellBook users.

^^^ Thats the only good thing. You get only some stuff cheap while the shopkeepers look at me as if I'm a alien asking for some scum when I ask them: Do you Arctic silver 5??!!

What? 8500GT for 2750/- !!!!Awesome.:D
Yep bought it on 5th March.

Well, nVidia is good but ATI Radeon HD 3450 gives better feature & performance then 8500GT & Radeon HD 3,650 although a bit costly is better then all of these.

While I would never recommend ati 3450 to anyone (its perf. is of the like of 8400 or slightly higher) but I'd surely recomm. ati 3650 over 8600gt if working of Pro software is what the intended use is. But then it costs almost about 1k more.

So you haf a choice: 8600gt and ati 3650. I'd suggest only if you are absolutely sure that you don't wanna buy one outta these two, get a 8500gt.

damn, i was been to SP Road just yesterday and bought 2 GB DDR II 667 Mhz RAM. I didnt asked the price of these graphic cards. I was shocked to hear the price of RAM and HDD. Transcend 2 GB DDR II 667 RAM for 1,650 and Seagate 160 gig HDD for 1.5k :D
