XFX 7600 Gs 7.5K
XFX 7600 GT 11.5K

Recently we went to Compass 2006, the biggest IT exhibition in eastern India. The price of MSI 7900GT announced there was Rs.18k.

But hasnt the prices dropped. Digit mentioned the 7900gt from xfx at 18k in October. And the prices in digit are slightly higher than street prices.

The price is of mid-november. It may have dropped, I have no idea. Anyways, XFX is cheaper than MSI.

7600 is a MID-range card & 7900 is High-end card...so the answer to your question is 7900 is MUCH MUCH better than 7600.
In Lamington Road, Mumbai with Rishi Periphirals (the authorised distributors of XFX N-Vidia Gfx cards) the price of:
XFX (PV-T71G-UDFR) Geforce7900GT (256mb DDR3) is Rs.17000
XFX (PV-T71F-YDER) Geforce7900GTX (512mb DDR3) is Rs.25500

But I am told that MID-range Dx10 cards within 10k to 15k will be available sometime this summer. So you might be better off waithing for another 5 months to get a DX10 card in your price range as the above cards are not DX10 compatible.

wait dont get a 8800 GTX now..... theres some fishy thing going around !!!

ATI has been pushing hard for January but it seems it won't make it. Nvidia is also preparing the faster version of G80 for around Cebit time but this is nothing new, as Nvidia traditionally likes to spoil ATI's launches.

Source :- theInquirer
This was in regard of launch of ATI R600 cards

So we could see more improvement in G80 cards, along with reduction in prices

Minimum requirement for support of Dx10 is PCIx16 1.0 Slot..Though waiting for the surprise in PCIex 2.0 slot
And if you mobo has it will sure work.....all you need is a Dx10 supporting GPU

42k is too high for the 8800gtx, especially when it sells in the US for 27k (600$). Thats almost 15k higher, the price at which you can get another mid range card.
