[QUOTE="Anusha, post: 91808, member: 828"] Today I bought a Sapphire (ATI) X800GTO 256MB PCI-E from PC Partner (or PC House). You wouldn't believe the price of it. Only Rs.9,500. Not only it's cheap, it overclocked well too. I installed the overclocking too included in the driver CD. There is a overclocking mode called "Performance" where the card automatically checks the safest maximum core and memory clock speeds keeping the temperature in a safe level. By this method, I could overclock the core from 400MHz to 493MHz (almost 25%) and memory from 490MHz (or 980MHz DDR) to 563MHz (or 1126MHz DDR) (almost 15%). With those clock speeds and ATI Catalyst 6.10 driver, I can run NFS Carbon at 25-40 frames per second with all settings set to maximum (except motion blur which is not supported on this card because this card doesn't have pixel shader 3 support) and 1280x960 with 2x anti-aliasing and whatever anisotropic filtering level the game applies. It's amazing!!! I didn't expect to see this card do that well in this brand new game. Faster nVidia cards can't perform this well in NFS Carbon. Maybe it's a driver issue, who knows. For the moment, this is an unbelievably fast card. Anyone looking for a new PCI-E card, head over to PC Partner and buy this card for Rs.9,500. The best card they have (at least the most expensive one) costs about Rs.23,000 (ATI X1600), and it's more than twice slower than this. Hahahah... Those PC Partner people don't know a thing other than doing business :D [/QUOTE]
