The best graphics card under 7K

[imgame2]

If your old rig is used as backup, let it be like that. If it has PCIe slot, put in a 8400GS and make it HTPC. putting a high end card in it is totally not worthy.

If you have 12k-13k in hand, sell your 8800GTS and with the total money get 4870X2

^^ +1 for this ...better idea!!!

9600 Sonic GSO and Sapphire HD3850 512MB DDR3 for sure.
But comparision between them cannot be sure. as 3850 is 256 bit 512MB card
where as 9600GSO is 128-bit card.

and noone even included it in the run

 

[Revolution]

I think ATI Radeon HD 3850 512MB DDR3(under 7K) is better option.....

Why even spend 7k on a Back-up machine ?

Do as dessibond suggested or either get another 8800GTS + 8400GS. SLi both the 8800GTSes and put the 8400GS in the BU PC.

3850 is really a good option.
but really do you need to spend that much for a backup comp.

I sold my 8800GTS for around 14K and have now got my self a 9800GTX+ and a 9500GT.

Not a good deal. why 9800gtx and 9500gt????????????????

 

[Psychosocial]

^^He got a 9800GTX+ which pwns HD4850 in almost all games by 5-7FPS and 9500GT is a little better than the 8600GT.

I dont see anything wrong.

 

[icebags]

i m very unlucky to have missed the 4850

I sold my 8800GTS for around 14K and have now got my self a 9800GTX+ and a 9500GT.

newayz who is the chikin to buy an old 8800 gts @ 14k ?

Absolutely, AND

F.Y.I.- HD 3870 is 7k
HD 3850 is 6k

 

[acewin]

wow both pawns 9600GT,

 

[amrawtanshx]

Go with 9600GSO ... Which is also the leader in the poll.

 

[acewin]

because HD3850 was not included in the poll, a genuine mistake. 512MB DDR3 HD3850 is better than 512MB DDR3 9600GT

 

[amrawtanshx]

^^
But its not under 7k
Otherwise .. Its a better card.
Definitely

From where in KOLKATA did you get it?(9800GTX+) and at what price?

P.S-Assumed it was bought locally.

 

[acewin]

yes they are under 7K
Sapphire HD3850 is available in 6K local market or online
Xpertvision HD3850 in 5.5K from lynx

WHat are you saying, the 9600GT comes within a hair's breadth to beat the 3870, leave alone the 3850.

BTW:

3870 @ 7k ----- 1st in performance
9600GT @ 5.5k ----- 2nd in performance
3850 @ 6k ----- 3rd in performance

 

[amrawtanshx]

^^
Ya ... 9600GT inches very closer to HD 3870.

Is 3870 available for 3870 ???? ... I think its around 8-9k.

 

[regenade]

Isn't the Palit 9800GT at 7.5k the best choice (available with lynx, chandigarh)

 

[Psychosocial]

^^Ya it surely is. And at 7k, its superb VFM........
