Guys i was planning to buy palit 4850 for 9.7k but nw i noticed tat palit 9800gt @7.9k is almst same as 4850 in some benchmarks. Wats ur opinion guys. Am very confusd nw!
no HD4850 doesn't perform same as 9800gt ..where did u see that,infact it performs better than much higher model(best of 9800 series)9800gtx+ (i hope now i can safely said that @ tkin
.
actually its the scaling which sets HD4850 apart from 9800gt ..when u apply eye candies or AA/AF HD4850 doesn't suffer any substanial FPS loss upto a resolution of 1900x1200 in most heavy duty games.
9800gt available at 7.5k is good in its own right but never its close to Hd4850 ..
at 19" monitor u might not feel much difference cos the resolution max u can get 1440x900 or 1280x1024 (a little higher)...at which both card might give u playable experience in most of the games with max settings.
but still with crysis or some other games u can feel the difference ...
go for HD4850 if u can u won't regret ....and anyways u will need a good good PSU for both.
also my monitor is viewsonic 19inch WS. But it doesnt hav dvi. Does palit provide dvi2vga converter with its card like xfx did for 8600gt? If nt can i buy it separately?
palit HD4850 card comes with a DVI to VGA convertor.
also wil my proc e6300 bottleneck 4850/9800? Shud i overclock it?
only in games which are processor dependent ..like crysis ..but otherwise C2D is more than enough for most of the games ...about overclocking ..if u feel u are getting low or unplayable FPS in lots of games (which u will not),i don't think u will need to overclock unless u want to push the system to play games like crysis in high res with high details.
