Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

availability of the HD5850s and 5870s are really poor everywhere. I've been wanting to buy a Sapphire/XFX/Asus 5850 or 5870 for almost 2 weeks now. The only ones that have some sort of availability are Diamond and Powercolor, but I'd rather not go for them.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^Yup, you hit it right. Rumour has it that 40nm wafers were bought in huge numbers by nvidia for Tegra, so you are in a spot of bother due to ATI's slacking all that time.

Powercolor is fine. Using 2 of them. They are running just dandy...!

Is Sapphire HD 4890 (512MB DDR5) worth for 13050/- ????

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^^Its 1GB and yea it's worth it...however I wud consider HD5770 for low power consumption and price of 11.5k or HD5850 for the ULTRA game experience.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^but HD5770's performance is nowhere near to what HD4890 gives. among these two, HD4890 is the one to go for or else go for HD5850.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

GTX275 is a great option instead of HD4890. Plus OP can use PhysX too. HD5850 is for the future proof one, GTX275 is the best of today's sub 15k lot.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

GTX275 for 12k-13k will be a killer deal

Playing the Devils Advocate:

In the reviews, the HD4890 beats the GTX275 in some games (NOT CRYSIS), and usually pulls ahead at the 2560x high resolutions. This is probably due to more memory of 1GB (HD4890) vs 896MB (GTX275). Also the HD4890 has faster clocks, and is the supremo OC'er from the 48xx series. Though the GTX275 has a 512BIT memory bus width vs the HD4890 256-BIT, but the red team has GDDR5.

Also the HD4890 is slightly cheaper BUT the green team gives Physx.



Now what you all say to that...................!

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

It's a personal choice. Hardcore gamers for GTX275 and some looking for cheaper alternatives, 4890 (at little less performance).

Want to buy a new Gfx card

Hi all
I want to buy a new mid range gaming system for which I have allocated 10-12 k for a good graphics card. I posted this on a diff thread and was suggested to go for HD 5770 or GTX 260 Sonic, which are unfortunately not currently available with local vendors in Pune.
My dealer has instead suggested me the following

Power color ATI HD4870 Display card with 1 GB DDR 5 memory Rs.11000 /-

I have to buy my PC in next 7-8 days as I ve to submit the bills to my company (that means i can't wait for Fermi to come and prices to drop). Shall I go for the above graphics card? or should i go for some other graphics card?

Hoping for a good response as always.
Thanks in advance

And, that is what we want. To show them both sides of the pie, and they choose what to eat...! (HD4890 beats the GTX275 in some places)

Though why did you change your name --- previous was better. Took me a while to get used to it.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^ i think the present one is more short and sleek and easy to remember and type

BTW, I would go for GTX 275 anyday over HD4890 - sounds like a fanboy -
But I'm not - the strong plus point is better driver support and ofcourse PhysyX

Drivers:
Please...its just as good and bad for both teams. I can show you umpteeen threads / reviews about people complaining about nVidia drivers. ATI releases a new driver every month...!

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Yeah, drivers are similar, even in this forum, nvidia drivers are as good/bad as ATI as I have noticed.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

ATI drivers are headache under Linux. Better go with Nvidia if you use Linux.
