I have this GF-8600 Graphic cards which has 4 1500mf 6.3v out of
which 3 caps have blown up. Should I change the same type or get caps
say more than 6.5v or bigger than 1500mf ?

The originals are soldered with a higher temp. than my soldering Iron
can handle. I am thinking of soldering the new ones at the back with
ordinary solder, and leave the original as it is.

Thanks for your help.
Higher voltage caps can't hurt, if they fit.
Higher capacitance in the same size case is probably a detriment.
The problem is heat/current density.
Change all 4 caps.
