I have a PCI express ATI Radeon Saphire X1600 Pro. Though Nvidia as a brand is better than ATI. But this particular series defeat the cards presented by nvidia on many technical levels. The Geforce 6600 GT is one of the highly sucessful cards of the Nvidia Class with 128 Mb memory with a price of around 8000-9000/- bucks. In its competition ATI Radeon Saphire X1600 Pro comes around in the same price bracket and has a faster engine with both Open GL and Direct X support with a memory of 256 MB DDR2.Though i just had this card aquired and i am still testing its potential ,i still did'nt face any problems yet. But though if you are not a risk taker kinda guy then i would suggest you go for something from Nvidia's family as they are stable and less hassle free to set. Enjoy!
oh come on,dont be such fanboys 😛 In graphic market,both nvidia and ati are equally matched.In india nvidia has better marketing,distribution.Things that concern we customers are cost,performance,reliablity,service.i think there will be a serious difference only in the fourth point.so if i were you,i would get one that gives best performance (for the budget) .

nVidia GeForce 7800GTX is a old card and anow has been replaced by GF7950GX2 1GB; I recommend You buy a XFX GeForce 7600GS 256MB DDR2 Xtreme Edition, It offers excellent back for the buck; it retails for Rs.7,500 w/ 3 Years Warranty. You can get it from Rashi Peripherals (www.rptechindia.com) Hope This Helps.
don't bother searching for a PCI card, they died ages ago and it's nearly impossible to get hold of one.[/b]
Wrong, there are tons available, from ATI , NVidia , all have them , and no they arent dead
ATI all latest cards have both PCI and AGP once, and what i heard, PCI once are faster
And yes mine does have AGP (8X i think)

Are you living in 1998? check the world mate, PCI cards are indeed dead. When i say PCI i Mean PCI (the ons before AGP) not PCI-Express(the current standard) the last AGP Ati card was ATI X1300Pro. indeed, didn't everyone Know ATi X1950XTX has a AGP version? It's a Miracle! Aall the Current ATi Cards (X1300 Excluded) Have ONLY and ONLY a PCI-e version, that includes ATi X1800XT, X1800GTo among others. which dumbass told you PCI cards were better than AGP? I owned a Intel 845 Mobo and it doesn't have an AGP slot. forget 8x!
@krishnan: u will need to upgrade ur system. or if u still want to buy a pci gfx card, thn the best option wuld be to buy a nvidia geforce 5200 based card. tats the last pci chipset by nvidia as per my knowledge.xfx has a pci card on this chipset.but the main challenge would be to find tis card in the market.since these pci cards r phased out, u wuld be having a tuff time finding it.
