9500GT is a lot faster than a 8600GT. Go for 9500GT ! Do not buy DDR2, buy GDDR3 only !!!!! End of you confusion.

But let me warn you that these cards are not meant for gaming. You will be able to play games on med settings only.

If you can push your budget, get an ATI 4670. Its around 4.6k .

wot do u think buddy ??
should i go for 9500gt ??

n is dere any similar card(for dat price) by ati raedon ?

If you are not too much into hard core gaming, then go for 9500GT. This will suffice.

I have EVGA 6200LE 256 MB and I am quite OK with it.

9500gt is good and stable.

If you want to game then 4670 is a minimum buddy, you can get some really good deals in 2nd hand.

@rajan
sorry offtopic:-
has the dx11 cards been launched???????????

^yea, ATIs 5850 and 5870 are here in india. They cost Rs16.5k and 24k resp.

MAN!16.5K to 24k

i think i should buy nvidia after some months:47:

The mid range ones cost 9-12k. they are 5750 and 5770. Prices are too high here in India .

i will to buy nvidia dx11 graphics card that is between 5-6K.

not now but in march 2010.

These 2 cards that o just told will probably be 5-6k by then.

OK...........

Now Which is better?

Nvidia or ATI?

Nvidia still has to release DX11 cards. That will take at least 2 months more...The 5750 and 5770 are good cards...

if u can wait then wait cuz Nvidia is releasing G220 GFX card for abt 80$. which will be probably a DX11 card.

^^ Its all ready out.
It is DX10.1 and 40nm. Not a good card IMO.

Boy, do i hate budget constraints. a 4770 will take care of it all. The games will run smoothly with just a 19' lcd. nice on a 22 but horrible with a full HD one.

i bought a 9500gt 1gb ddr2 for 2700
thax all for ur helps guys..
