So Two HD4850 CF is better?
I've heard there are some incompatibility issues with some games and Crossfire.
In those games Crossfire decreases performance or not work properly.
What do you say?

and yes CF has some issue scaling in few games still ...but in some games it just blows away ...while in some other games give poor results ...so some better driver tweaks are required for CF ...so unless one is sure of playing the games ..he wants to play ...HD4870 is better option ....BTW whats ur monitor size ...???
if its only 22" HD4850 blows away everything thrown at it (with little reservation to CRYSIS) with all eye candy on at that resolution of 1680x1050...just at the cost of 9.5k ...now take that !!
u need 24" to realize the full potential of a HD4870 card ...even a HD4850 performs really very good at 1900x1200 ...and best thing about HD4850/HD4870 ..is they don't suffer major FPS loss when turning on eye candies(including AA and AF) ...only 4-5 FPS usually...scaling is very good with these cards ....

My monitor is this one:- *www.lge.com/products/model/detail/l222ws.jhtml
So its at 1680*1050 native.
The HD4870 looks enticing, might not have to jump ships after all.But have to visit local Hardware market least a couple of times to catch the prices.
If HD4870 looks good till October then might consider getting this one.
BUT nVIDIA'S STILL 1st CHOICE.
Thanks a lot for the help and infos.
its upto u as i have told u before ...even if u go for nVidia GTX260 is the minimum u should go for ...otherwise other cards are waste of money and u know urself at the back of ur mind ...that they are ...but at the end if u get satisfied with spending 18k on a 9800gtx ...its upto u ...atleast u are satisfied that u got what u wanted ....but reality is right in front of u ...don't take my word ...just search around Internet and u will see where 9800GTX (even an overclocked ) lies in front of HD4870 ...u will find the truth ...also keep in mind the future games coming out...
future games will be optimized for HD4850/HD4870 since the shear number of cards already sold (or for GTX260/280 cards)...and perhaps can perform better if they use the new R770 architecture's benefits which is beyond doubt a smart and efficient architecture....i find it hard to imagine that they will be optimized for 9800GTX..since its down and out...thats the way it is ..as i see it ..

hello ppl,
I am thinking of adding a TFT monitor also to my config. Plz tell me which among these is the better option to go for..
1] Dell SE178WFP Silver 17" Widescreen
2] Samsung 19-Inch Wide LCD Monitors - 920NW
3] Dell SE198WFP 19" or
4] ViewSonic 17" color TFT or any ViewSonic variants.
Which of the above is a better brand component to opt for???
Secondly should i go for the widescreen one or the square shaped TFT's??
Lastly which should i go for i.e. a 17" or 19" coz i personally feel 17" widescreen should be more than sufficient for me but still need your opinions..

yup agreed the price difference is barely 1000Rs between the 17" and the 19" Dell TFT's.
But what bout Samsung 19" TFT's??? Or is Dell the best option in TFT's???

Dude remember me after you have bought you rig.
I would be waiting to know of the deal on the monitor.
Good Luck
Besides I did not get the point of buying LAN Card, when they are inbuilt in the mobo, also it has firewire
naveen it is really a tough call, if he is buying everything new.
E7200 = ~5.4K
Mobo as you are thinking of buying a GPU hence DG31 chipset based mobo in same price range(support dual channel RAM unlike 630i chipset based mobo, only edge it has got is onboard 71xx nVidia gfx) ~3K
RAM 2GB single stick costs 1.8K
keyboard mouse combo 700-750
optical drive in 1.2K
HDD 2.2 to 3.6K as per size you want.
Casing in 1.5K
Monitor 19" Dell or Samsung ~9.5K( Iwill suggest Dell with DVI port)
PSU 3K if you go on the budget of buying HD4850
GPU if HD4850 you will have to struggle really bady and cost will easily goto 40K

Treatment in progress...
let us know ur budget first...it will affect ur decision,blv me
dell n samsung are better,but the fact is,though dell dont manufacture their own panels,they use samsung ones!unfortunately,samsung doesnt even supply panels for its own lcds(uses 3rd party vendors!!!).so u can spot the difference in quality.
IMO,go for the widescreen models.
the dellse198wfp is a good choice....u cant go wrong wid it!
well,u cant go wrong with a HD4870....u can search newhere,ne reviews.it gives the gtx260 a hard time,even cozies up to the gtx280 in some titles!(see tomshardware,hexus)
well,if u can spare ~18-19k for an OLD 9800GTX,y dont save up some more cash and go for the r700(4870x2)? see here

I would say unless your planning to go for a 24" or above with resoltuions over 1920x1200, only then would you do complete justice to a 4870x2. Stay with the 4870 only if your playing at 1680x1050 or below.
Hello
please suggest me a motherboard for E7200 and its price.
I prefer onboard graphics.Well i can adjust even without onboard graphics for a cheaper mobo.
The budget is as cheap as possible(in the range 3-4K).
And mobo should support overclocking.I am very new to overclocking so bit worried..can i run it @ 3Ghz all the time (the system will be ON for 15-18 hrs/day)
And is there a need for buying extra cooling solutions or something else.
Is it safe for E7200 to oc it at 3 Ghz.
Thx
