Can anyone please tell me which is the cheapest HD 4870 card here in India? I am currently on a budget for 4850 but want to be future proof for atleast 2 years. 4850 won't sustain that much so if I can get a 4870 with a range of 11k to 13k, I will buy it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

who told u HD 4850 is not future proof , HD 4850 is 10% - 15% less in getting FPS considering HD 4870 sonic .
1) 1 GB HD 4850 will beat the standard HD4870

2) u can add one more HD4850 in crossfire means it outperforms 280GTX

2 X HD 4850 card in Palit cost [9300 X 2 = 18600/-]

Palit HD 4870 sonic = 16800/-

choose ur self?????

Your budget is 11-13k. Right ?
Then get this :
Palit HD 4850 Sonic 512MB DDR3 for Rs. 11400
its not a worth 11400 card, good price for it will be 10500, I think I will buy one xpertvision one for 8500 and add accelero s1 to it, that will be really COOL for me and for card too :)

nvidia cards are not goood at it
See reviews and you will get the real picture.

Edit: what monitor do you use ? 9800GTX+ drops performance (actually, HD48(5/7)0 gains performance with higher resolution, and at HD, the RV770 cards easily beat it.

As paranj says, HD4850 is your best bet. Its even faster than 9800GTX+ if you go to higher resolutions, above 1680xsomething, with the performance gap closing on touching 1280x1024 and reducing more and more with HD4850 overtaking 980GTX+ at highest resolutions. For a 1440x900 monitor, I recommend HD4850 since the performance will be roughly equal, but HD4850 will be cheaper by 3K, at Rs. 9,500 for Palit Sonic Edition, which has good overclock headroom.

Rs. 9,500 for Palit Sonic Edition, are you serious? whr are thsese prices from? I am buying it NOW!!! I am in delhi
 
^^Actually, for retailers, palit ordinary and palit sonic costs the same since the later replaces the former. but to clear palit ordinary stock, sonic was priced higher in India (in usa its below 170$). I just guessed that old stock must have been over by now and perhaps in christmas season sonic will get a price cut. else it should be around Rs. 700 more than 9500.
