Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Frnz...
I am really confused...
I seemed to have decided on a Radeon 4850 as my next buy....11.5-12k is THE sweet spot.

But the following post shocked me: *priceguru.in/archives/news/new-hardware/2115 !!
ZOTAC 9800GTX+ - Rs.14300/-.....I am sure it will be available at lesser rates locally.

I am not an nvidia fanboy....still at this price...9800GTX+...with physx support...cuda support....I just cant seem to decide on which of the two to buy card.N mind u i hav a 500wt supply...tho the online wattage calculators say i'm in the green with the both of them....

Plz help me....

For that matter...i'll be upgrading from a lowly 8600gt....and soon i'll be buying a dell se198wfp tft lcd...

help....

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Get a 4850.. period. And 500W is more than enough to run it.

For the same price you also get HD4870, which beats 9800GTX+ by a small margin, but is more overclockable thanks to GDDR5 memory. Why don't you get THAT one instead ? And Radeon HD4850 actually costs a little under 10K (inclusive of taxes). Not 12K as you think it does. So it can't compete with 9800GTX+. But yes, it almost beats 9800GTX. And this 14300 for 9800GTX+ is not including taxes, beware of that.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

500W psu will be enough for either of teh cards. .i presume its a CM or corsair.

if u can get the 9800GTX+ at 12k , its pretty good and tempting.its not far behind the 4850 , beating it in many places. .added support for physx . although unofficial support is there for 4850 also. . i doubt whether CUDA would matter.

at 12k , i think i would prefer the 9800GTX+ . the max price i would be willing to pay for it is 12.5k or at the most 13k if its a preOCed card. nothing more than that. . .

Its a Coolermaster extreme powr 500w.
now this article: *www.extremetech.com/article2/0,2845,2327347,00.asp has added to my problems.....
is physx support important for games?i will be spending money....i want to do it wisely
n i hv seen sumwhere that PhotoShop cs4.0 will be supporting cuda?

umm without fan tweak its 80c... but with the tweak (keeping fanspped @ 44) i get 60c ,i use coolermaster 500w psu it cost me 2k... and btw refer to this month's digit review of graphics cards!!... they said 4850 even with ac @ 22c has a temp of 80c, well u cant blame them,but fan tweak works perfect

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

@mukherji , not a great article for indian prices. the temp probs of 4850 is apparently solved..

1. ati drivers are getting better and better. and u cannot deny that crossfire scales better than SLI right now.
2. physx support is not something worth paying more for a less performing card. it does give a boost in games like unreal tournament ..but not so much that u have to pay 2-3k more for it.
3. dono much abt photoshop . . if cuda is something u want , then get the 9800GTX+ . .

i dont think u can get 9800GTX+ for 13k. do find out. . if u can , get it as u are interested in CUDA. but paying 15k or more for a slightly less performing card , in my opinion aint worth it. .

well... if u want the most out of every paisa u spend, go for 4850, .... and even more if u have crossfire go for 2x4850 .....

and all the more the digit review of graphics cards say both ati,nvidia have even better cards ready at their stable ,so.. buyin a 4850 under 10k makes sense! as u can add one more anytime u want and get twice the performance at low price!!

its ur call!!

yaar..watever...i will never buy 2 cards....2*power consumption,2*space,2*HEAT,2*NOISE.
I will buy a single card...thats why i am so sceptical....

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

@mukherjee , it was expected that nvidia will offer physx for geforce 8 , 9 series too .. drivers were suppose to come in july . . .but its hitting on aug 12. it doesnt make a big deal to ur purchase.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

I am soon going to buy a Geforce 9800 GTX + card from XFX !
I am confused if my Zebronics 400 W psu would be sufficient to run it or not.
Also tell me if there is any card with better performance than 9800 GTX + in the same price band.
My conf. for PSU analysis :
- Intl C2D 6750 2.66 GHz
- Intl DG33FB mothbd
- 1GB X 2 Dual Channel 667 MHz RAM
- A Seagate 160 GB SATA HDD
- LiteOn 20 X DvD Writer

Plz. reply as soon as possible ....
Thanks !

 

[spikygv]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^ zeb 400W wont be enough . get corsair vx450w or hx620W ( more future proof ).

same price band ? well , hd 4850 offers competition and wins by a small margin .. but it is also cheaper than 9800GTX+ ( internationally also ).
