Basic Guide Purchase a New System

[Psychosocial]

^^True........

9800GTX+ in SLi will be more VFM......

All the way better but eXpensive would be the HD4870x2

All in all, HD4870 is better than GTX260 and GTX280 dosent justify the price it demands

Don't you think that HD4870 is a much better option for 17k as it competes with GTX280 and GTX260 can't match HD4870?? Just my two cents.

^^+10

HD4870 is better card any day ...even to GTX260 ...but this guy has made up mind that he will buy nVidia in 15k range (due to bragging of XFX 8800xxx edition cards by his friends)... even if its some old 8800 series model or 9800GTX model or 9800gtx+...can't change that mindset ..can we ??? if one is available with option to buy HD4870 with only 1.5k more ...he should grab it ...8800/9800GTX are old and obsolete now ....its like having the potential to buy a Austin martin or AUDI ..but wanting to buy maruti 800 AC edition perhaps

GTX260 is not at all VFM.

in India its not VFM ...but in US after Price cut GTX260 costs equal to HD4870 ...at that price its upto the person to choose from ..but in India looks like demand is very low for GTX260 ..so they are not going to cut the price ...or nvidia doesn't seem to care ??

In case of nVidia I would get two 9800gtx+ in SLI mode instead of single grossly overpriced GTX260.

some models from ZOTAC and POV of GTX260 are available for about 19k and 9800gtx+ best price one can get is 12.5k ..else it will be available for 13.5k to 14.5k ...which doesn't justify it even putting it in SLI ...HD4850/HD4870 will be more than enough for any of the gaming need for anybody...since people out here in india doesn't 24" monitors yet (mean to say generally ..its not so common yet most of the people are stuck with 19" or few have 22") ...cos only at 1900x1200 HD4870 ...shows its true colours ..other resolutions are walk in park for both HD4850 and HD4870 with all eyecandy on ..

yep the better solution for now is

get Crossfire enabled board and one HD4850

and when you feel that it is getting slow, get one more HD4850.

Absolutely Correct, I've used ATI X1900XTX till now but have decided to give nVidia a chance to satisfy my gaming needs.May be someday I will return to ATI camp again, but now nVidia is the way to go for me.

So I've finally made up my mind, nVidia or nothing.

Choices:-
1.XFX 9800GTX+~17k (Not available as of now)
2.EVGA 9800GTX SSC~18k (Available)
3.XFX 9800GTX~19k (Available)
4.ZOTAC 9800GTX+ AMP~15k (Available)

At this moment No.2 is the best option.

P.S-Maruti 800, c'mon, its bad but not that bad, maybe a WagonR

@Desiibond, thanks for suggestion. Suggest a good Crossfire Mobo at 8k(Just asking).

 

[desiibond]

^^ ASUS P5Q Pro. Costs around 8.5k I think.

Spending anything more than 12k on 9800GTX+ is utter waste of money

18k, no way.

I wrote my best choice is:-

EVGA 9800GTX SSC(770MHz clock as opposed to 675 MHz default) at 18k.

Asus P5Q series-best boards(Just look at my siggie), didn't knew the PRO had crossfire.

Here's a crazy thought, how about two HD4850 at 2x9.5k=19k in Crossfire mode, now that's a system.

HD4870 at 16.5k? Which 3rd party vendor are you talking about?

Is HD4870 better than two HD4850 in crossfire?

even at 12k 9800gtx+ is waste of money ...when hd4850 is available at 9.5k ...??...how better the card is 9800gtx+ than hd4850 ...?? only 5-6 fps more in some games at a cost of 3k more ...??? 9800gtx+ is failure in India....or otherwise ....9800gtx+ is not a choice of preference in US or Europe when compared to hd4850 !! only nvidia fanatics or fanboy are buying it ....

HD4870 at 16.5k? Which 3rd party vendor are you talking about?

Is HD4870 better than two HD4850 in crossfire?

palit HD4870 in my place is available for 16.5 k ...other brands gecube /sapphire costs 17.2k and 17.75k receptively...
