Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Hi All,

I want to go for 8800GT 512MB Alpha Dog (now Rs 9700 + VAT :p) but need some advice whether my present PC will do it justice.

My speces are in the signature line.

Thanks in advance..

HD 4850 is a very good option indeed, given its only 2K more.
But i don't think my mother-board is capable of handling 4850; in that case, 8800 is a safe bet.
Also, is nVidia nForce 430 (mobo-chipset) compatible with Ati cards??

nope. .chipset and g-card matching wont improve performance on ur board. there was an article in tomshardware maybe a year back proving this fact . ati cards run fine on nvidia chipset . the radeon 4850 will be about twice as fast as 8800GT for just 2k more. .dont worry about temps . there's a way u can increase fan speed in radeon 4850 to get decent temps on stock cooler ( ofcorse u may also buy a aftermarket cooler from thermalright for 2k ).

*forums.legitreviews.com/about16404.html

and dont worry about ur cpu bottlenecking the gpu .. u have a decent cpu. even on ur pc , the radeon 4850 will be MUCH faster than 8800GT. .get the radeon 4850

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

How difference is there in performance while comparing 4850 vs 8800GT :D

I think OC 8800GT will be good instead of Ati 4850 :rolleyes:

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

I am planning on getting a gigabyte 8800 gt GV-NX88T514HP. My motherboard is a msi p965 neo f. Will i have any compatibility issues with the graphics card and the mobo? Secondly i read that this graphics card has a dual slot fan(cooling). What exactly does this mean ?
Suggestions are welcome on the graphics card (preferably one with good cooling ). I am getting the card from singapore ,so availability shouldnt be problem.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^ dude , read a few of the previous posts. .get the radeon 4850 and forget the 8800GT. . man , i'm getting sick of telling this many times. .maybe , we shud have a sticky for while which has the title that says "buy radeon 4850 . dont get 8800GT "

1. no compatibility issues.
2. dual slot means the cooler + card will take up 2 slots . not electrically but physically.
3. get radeon 4850 and a thermalright cooler if u need it. ( or zalman cooler from singapore )
4. if u're getting from singapore , make sure u can obtain warranty. ok , now i read this , in singapore 8800GT will be much cheaper .. so if ur budget is enough , get radeon 4850. .if budget limits u , get the 8800GT. . in india , there's not a huge price difference . overall , i recommend buying in india itself . warranty is much easier to procure. and the extra penny u pay for radeon 4850 even if bought in singapore is worth it.

AFAIK ...Currently XFX 8800 GT Alpha Dog costs 11.9k + VAT.
MSI one is around 10.5k .None is less than that.

Nope, latest price drops came into effect earlier this week after the "ATI Onslaught".
As far as Kolkata is concerned, the XFX 8800 GT 512MB Alpha Dog is available here for 9500-9700 + VAT.

For starters, the Radeon HD 4850 looks to be the best buy at $199, even better than NVIDIA's price-dropped GeForce 9800 GTX. What's also unbelievable is that compared to the 4850, our beloved GeForce 8800 GT seems downright slow in a number of benchmarks - and the 8800 GT is only 8 months old. It's also very refreshing to see this sort of competitive pressure at such a reasonable price point, while it's fun to write about 1.4 billion transistor GPUs it's a dream come true to be able to write about this type of performance at under $200.

bout the heating problem, guru3D found that the fan speed is locked at 30% even at high temps[some bug in bios] and they did some tricks[downloadable] and after increasing the fan speed to 70%, the temps wont go higher than 55c!!!!!!! otherwise it wud touch 90c at max load. Soon ATI wud release an updated bios to fix the problem.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Do you remember Tortoise and hare race story?

nVidia relaxed a lot in the past couple of months and AMD did steady improvements to ATI's GPU lineup and the result is clear now :)

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Nice example:)
Now that they're ahead of nvidia, its no more slow and steady wins the race. ATi will have to keep up with whatever nvidia throws..

Totally agree man.. even i have got sick of explaining this to people on various forums.:x
we live in the land of NVIDIOTS

ATi HD4850 >>>>>> 8800gt

P.S.- people please read previous posts & do a little bit of searching.:!:

Thats true..
And you got some things wrong i think..
The 4850 >>>>> 8800GTX
Correct me if i'm wrong but this is what i found in a review in AnandTech.
The only bad thing is that the 4850 consumes a li'l more power than the 8800GT. But that hardly matters compared to the huge performance difference..
