it will definetly beat HD4850 and 9800GTX+ bcoz HD3870x2 is a double GPU solution :|

Both are good. Both are trust-worthy.

And as for prices, you guys are lucky. Do you even know that the Palit HD4850 costs 15k here :(. I planned to buy one more HDD (solely from my money and as i'm 13, i had no more than 3k), and man the Seagate 500GB costs 4.3k :shock: and no-one seems to know what is a 'Western Digital'.

This is the case with me.

thanks for the reply ....i will perhaps buy it from lynx or may be itwares wherever its cheap .....but lynx though looks cheap ..has 4% VAT excluded to it ...while the itwares prices have VAT included in them ...so at the end different is 100 or 200 rupees not much ....

actually this is same problem everywhere ....except perhaps for mumbai and delhi ....the here was telling me 12.2k for gecube HD4850 (another one said 14k + taxes)and 21k for HD4870 .....and they don't know whats 9800gtx+ ...he told me there is no such model ....

infact if u don't know about the hardware ..they just give u anything absurd at insane prices ...which they indeed do to people who doesn't know much ...

and there are some vendors ...when u go them and ask to them about graphics card they will ask u... do u want 512 mb card or 1 gb card???? ....without asking which model i want ...cos they think higher the RAM the better the card ....

@sam9s its not that my current config is giving me any probs or that i'm not able to run a game.its nothing like that.
upgrading just for trying new hardware.to say the truth dont hav enuf reasons to justify this upgrade.:D

@imgame2 yup thats true.can u believ this:
2day a guy was getting his pc assembled when he asked if he cud get the "nero' branded mobo for Intel procies.i'mean the guy didnt even know that Nero is a piece of software not hardware.

Sad but true in India. The vendors here dont know that the 9 series and the GTX series is out. Here still the 7300GS 512MB cards sell the most. Here still people think that higher GPU RAM gives more peformance than something with a higher clock frequency ,etc. Here people think that higher model number gives more performance. Heck people think they dont need a grafix card if they have a powerful CPU to play games (here powerful CPU is a Intel Pentium D :|). There are only 4 eight series grafix card available here. 8400GS, 8600GT, 8800GT and 8800GTX. There is no trace of P45 or ANY NVIDIA mobo. Half of the vendors dunno what is an AMD X2 and kids which study in the same grade come to me and say that "my 6200 1GB TC beats the hell outta your 88whatever 512MB :|. " If you goto a PC vendor and ask for the highest performing parts, he will give u a E4500 + 945 + 1GB DDR2 533MHz RAM + 160GB HDD + 7300GS 512MB and charge 40k. I asked a vendor that what is a difference between the 8600GT XXX and 8600GT Fatal1ty (i knew it :D) and he said that Fatal1ty is a software without which new games wont run and I was like WTF!!.

Anyways, I will stop my ranting here.

it's India dude, you need to suffer.

"GOD HATES US ALL" :|.

where do you live.
I have checked SP Road, Bangalore also. Never bought an GPU yet from there though, tried to check only once when I was thinking to build a new PC( the shopkeeper said 9K Saphire HD3850 that was like a month back), I got only my lappy no PC no TV nothing man(and I am earning), my father said no to me for my plan to buy(even though the money I was going to spend was my earnings), n everything got dumped. :(

good to know that KPower

and hell now, I think its too much I will add on sam9s
I see CM 650W, in your siggy, VX450 or even CM600W would be less than what you got if I am right.

And most of the part I would say, though I know what is good, I have never worked ona dedicated GPU, never assembled a PC of my own. when was in inst my insti had given me in lab, when I joined company they gave me lappy. working on HP compaq 6510b its very good lappy, very good battery life of 3 and a half hour. except of a good GPU(workin on x3100 I cant even play age of empires 3 properly with my fast hands. Still stuck on aoe 2 and counterstrike zero or 1.6 LAN version.
