The great graphic card discussion thread

[erif]

So you see, these dealers themselves are not at all aware of the tech behind these cards and try to sell the one of which they have the most stock. It is a really pathetic condition.

Dude, they are dealers. They are not *supposed* to know the tech behind the cards. They are supposed to stock certain products and sell it to customers who come asking for them. Done. Finito.

(Poor guys. Most of them had never even heard of Crysis.)

Did you really expect them to know about games and software too?
Its like walking into an electronics store looking to buy set of new speakers, and then expecting the salesman to be an audiophile of your caliber.

Yes, these guys can outright tell lies or rip you off if you are not careful, but have more realistic expectations next time.

Same thing with me, I called my engineer to ask him for a new GPU.
He asked how much I wanted...gave me the following options : 64MB, 128MB or 256MB !
I told him I wanted 512MB, he said he had one in stock, an 'NBeedia' card, which is 2.8k and that was a 8400GS !
I then had to tell the poor guy to get me a HD 4670 (512MB) but he bought 1GB for Rs.700 extra, saying "beta 1GB to acha perform karega" even though the '1GB' had a slower clock.
Overall, Engineers and shopkeepers are stupid creatures, they just don't know a damn thing about such stuff, just want to clear their stock.

I did get him, he was right.
But I was just sharing my experience.

I was wondering whether there is any new GPU from nVidia that supports DX 11 and will it give a though fight to the current Ati 5-Series?

I know that NVidia will release its GTX 480 and GTX 470 on 26th March

It's named this ways.
The GT2xx series first, then GT4xx.
There was no GT1xx, so no GT3xx, get the logic ?

^^
there is GT1XX and GT3xx

Really ? :lol:
I heard about the GT1xx and GT3xx 'quitely' launched by Nvidia, which could not even compete with the 9xxx series.
But those were REBRANDED, INTEGRATED cards.
