Which 9600GT?

[meodowla]

Which 9600GT is best? I've read reviews on XFX9600GT and Palit9600GT. I would like to know, which one would be more better, silent and good. What are other GPU choices on same price range? I'm Looking as a replacement for XFX7300GT on C2D E6600.

What price range are we talking about?

 

[roush2fast]

What's the max you are willing to spend ?

 

[meodowla]

INR5000. 1 USD = 48 INR.

I do not know about where the system is used, but I would suggest you get the card with the best cooling, even a good cooler might struggle in the middle of an Indian summer.
Unless you have AC!

 

[meodowla]

Yeah.. thats what i'm thinking... so which brand/model is better...?Any suggestions?

 

[uncfan_2563]

well it shouldn't be a problem if your case is cooled fine normally. What kind of cooling do you have? # of fans? if your case itself cools well, i wouldn't worry too much about the GPU cooler

with 104USD something can get u a 4770 for a very good performance

Maybe if he wasn't in india

If you can find one, then i would tend to agree with xyzionz, the 4770 may be your best bet. From what i understand (though i may be wrong) the newer 40nm-whatever will run cooler and take less energy than the current stuff. The 4770 will give you better performance than a 9600gt and the 4770 will ideally only get better as it is new technology that will have new drivers released as time goes on.

personally though, i use an MSI 9600, the red one not the ugly black one, and it does fantastic. I can play Fallout 3 will everything maxed out.

~i would really look into the 4770 for your application

I doubt a graphics card scarce to buy right now in the us is about to make its way down to india and be in this guys price range....

 

[uncfan_2563]

well they might have manufactured a dedicated amount to sell in India which are there right now that happen to be in stock. It's possible

 

[Kithzaru]

yeah uncfan said what i was thinking. they have to send X amount to other countries. Sold out here doesn't mean it is there. That and i did say "if you can find one"

*shrug* not saying it's the best choice, but it is something to think about.

9600's really aren't bad for the price, if you get a decent one

Best cooling 9600GT is the BFG 9600GT OCX version. Here is a review on it : BFG 9600GT OCX version

Better than most 9600GT and on par with an overclocked 8800GT.

Its wonderful... I haven't ever thought that a 9600GT could get with a 8800GT..... What about HD4770?

+1 rewindlabs

meodowla, this is ultimately your computer, and you will be spending your money and putting in the parts. We've given you a lot of good suggestions but you will need to do some of your own homework. You won't want to shuv anything in your computer you know nothing about.

There are plenty of benchmarks available and articles you can read about the 9600 and the 4770 8)

 

[jonpaul37]

+1^ for the 4770 or perhaps a 4850 if you have a little extra $$$
