Nvidia or ATI, which is the best?

K

i want to buy a good graphics card.my budget is around 6000-7000rs.
i reviewed some sites and could not find the exact price of the geforce 7300,7600 and ati radeon x1600.will it be ok to use any one of them ? i will be using graphics intensive softwares because im a multimedia student.i don't game much.so suggest me a good card out of the below:

Geforce 7300GT or Geforce 7600GT or
ATI Radeon X1600 Pro ??!!????!?!?!

Also suggest me a good board.Is Intel D102GGC2 good? it is based on ati chipset.Intel 945 has only one PATA connector.but I have 2 harddisks(PATA)
and 2 optical drives.

forget 7600 gt with that budget..go for 7600gs@ 7k

whats the diff between gs and gt?

krish if u ready to pay 7k........its good u increase your budget a little more and get 7600gt.........its the perfect card for playing all games now includin oblivion.......dont get gs series...mostly they r with ddr2 memory...so they radiates lot of heat...........get the the one with gddr3........
also dude..iwould say better adjust with a low end card now.......asvista launch is near..and after that dx 10 card will come...so your present card will look obsolete in front of it...so its betterto get dx 10 card........all present card wont support dx 10....ms again monopolising stuffs on users.......

with that budget u can get a 7600GS ...

go 4 nvidia, i guess u sud wait for the dx 10 ver. of cards

7600GT is not perfect for playing Oblivion. 1800GTO is a lot lot better. And perfect card for playing Oblivion starts with the 1900XT.

akshayt dude...i wasgivin e.g that he can play oblivion not that he wants to play oblivion that too high settings and all the stuffs..........

regardin nvidia and ati...though ati little better...but always has driver issues...so better to go with nvidia

Ya. Only high end cards of ATI is better. Its always nvidia which has better value for money for low-mid-mainstream cards, nd user satisfaction is also for nvidia.

well, the new ATI x1650 pro is a hell of a card.can beat 7300GS/GT easily.can match 7600GS and or 7600GT
however, it is new and has avalibility probs.
it is expected to retail at Rs 6000

i go with magnet..wait 4 sometime...

7600GT performs like an x1800GTO, but a lil back when all effects r turned. R u sayin an x1650pro could compete with anx 1800GTO?
