this machine doesn't support games which has good gfx...
i want 2 upgrade my system with 512RAM n a gfx card. my budget is 10000/-
what gfx card i shud go 4?
plz reply me.

R

well , a 6800 based card is best 4 u .

put 3K for the 512 MB ram
go for 256 MB NVIDIA GF 6600 GT DDR3 Rs6000

R

well he can go 4 a better 6800 solution .

7300gt / 7600gs

R

7 series is not supported by his mobo.
6800 series is best 4 him

M

Why won't 7 series go on a 865 mobo when it goes on a 845 based mobo?

go for 7600gs..

R

well , i dont think 865 suppoorts PCI-E and 7 series come in PCI-E only .
So , 6800series AGP is best for him

M

rahul_becks23 who said? I have a 7600GS AGP 8X. And the shopkeeper said 7600GT is also available in AGP. But I am not so sure of that.

R

well ,but they have been discontinued .........( correct me if am wrong)

M

since when? i got mine about a month back.

R

well , the manufacturing of agp cards is history now but u still can get agp versions in the market .
I dont think there'll be any AGP 8series cards .
AGP production has been officialy discontinued .

dx 10 cards will only be pci-e based, but u can get 7600 gs AGP dunno abt 7600 gt & higher

M

Yes it has been and we won't see any 8 series cards but 7 series are available in AGP. Maybe the final few.
