Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
my view was not against or pointed towards u ...i m sorry if my words felt like that ..
yes u are right ..about SLI mobo ..and the cheapest i could find was xpertvision @ 5.8k @ lynx (without shipping charges) and thats plain 9600gt ...do u think plain 9600gt SLI @ 11.6k will perform better than HD4850 (@ 9.4~9.7k )and will be value for money at the same time ?? whats ur view on this ?
i m saying the pre-oced version all cost about 8k cheapest being xpervision for about 7.1k..so are they worth going for in india ?
please correct me if i m wrong.
for gpu temp get GPU-Z and for in-game FPS measuring get FRAPS
no offense taken. . we're here to argue and make a point. ..
i stand by what i said .. with a SLI board and 2x 9600GT , its much better than radeon 4850. .for mobo's with no multi gpu possible , 4850 is the only choice. .. but if u're buying a new pc or have a sli board , 2x9600GT is the best bang for buck upto 13k or 14k.

the 9600GT SLI consistently wins and by quite a good margin.It beats even the 4850 CF sometimes. .
Toms dont use top of the line proccy. . so i'm not very confident abt toms results actually.. although , they give a good picture of what to expect. .

this further proves that 9600GT SLI scales very well and consistently does so . .another thing to notice in the case of 9600GT SLI is that it scales well even at low resolutions like 1280x1024 and even at 1680x1050. .monster cards show good scaling with SLI or X-fire only at full HD or HD+ resolutions.
I think reference cards were used for these benchies. .if not , OCing it a bit should not be too difficult (even if u dont OC , u'll get pretty decent performance ) and 9600GT is not known to be very hot or power consuming . if it comes to temp and power , 4850 will be more difficult to pair than 9600GT.

on this extreme system ( a skulltrail mobo !!! ) , 9600GT SLI consumes only 396 watt !! A corsair vx450W may pull it off for a dual core system or even a quad core which is not heavily OCed. .
