9600GT has an egde over HD4670

I would prefer HD4830 or HD4850.

for lower resolutions 4670 is good.. (with lower/moderate gaming details)
for higher resolutions 9600 is good.. (with higher/increased gaming details)

but at 1440 res does 48xx really matter???

i agree with desibond..

you can wait for the price to fall.. or go for 9600..

also wil 4670 req a new psu.. i heard its doesnt need external pcie power

Definitely it would matter at that resolution. If you want to play GPU-heavy games like Crysis and STALKER, you do need a 48xx card.

HD4830 should be available inside 7k.

Ya HD4830 is very good card better then 9600GT.... and also in budget...
the design is same as 4850 except the shader units & memory clock rest r same...

 

[george101]

wen wil 4830 be available...

 

[desiibond]

and to use any of the HD48xx series card, you need a 500W PSU atleast. Get coolermaster/tagan/corsair/antec PSU for better stability.

 

[Zangetsu]

wen wil 4830 be available...

its already launched AFAIK...& is better than 9800GT...

thanx so much for helpng me out guys. wat if buy a 4670 now and save the money of smps. wil it last for another year? even if i buy a 4850+500w smps (which wil cost almsot 13k)it wud only last for 2years. rite? so isnt it better to goy for 4670 now and upgrade aftr 1year.

 

[desiibond]

palit 4670 costs around 5100/- not 6200/- in Hyderabad ..this card is very good

@george , the HD4830 is already availaible with theitwares.com , they have the palit version its price is rs.8450 .

 

[desiibond]

I would pay 9.5k for HD4850 instead of paying 8.5k for 4830!!

 

[Ecstasy]

How about GeCube RX3650 which comes around 6k or Palit 9600 GT which is around 6.5 or 6.3k.

 

[desiibond]

for 6k card, I think nothing beats 9600GT

XpertVision 9600GT 512MB GDDR3 super is the best 6K GPU.
But palit sonic edition is just Rs. 500 extra (6,500) but it has a great cooling solution and is slightly overclocked.

HD4830 and 9800GT are only slightly better than 9600GT and are not worth the price difference. Its better to go for HD4850 instead, which costs 9.5K. For 6K, 9600GT is the best.
