I have this 7800GT which is running since the days of farcry, no upgrade since!
which card is value for money in ATi like 8800gt in nvid currently?

9600gso fr 6k, 88gt fr 11k
Best vfm in segments resp

I don't know from where that report came in but in recent pcperspective benchmarks, 4850 is just able to match 8800GT but couldn't beat it.

Moreover 8800GT 512Mb is around 30-40$ cheaper than 4850 512Mb.

the card beats 8800GT in most tests.

 

[desiibond]

hmm.

Checked overclockersclub review and there also 4850 is beaten by 8800GT. Mixed reviews all over.

Doesn't 8800GT has the price and overclocking advantage over 4850??

 

[Ethan_Hunt]

Any details about it's PSU requirement? Is it the same as 8800GT? It's a good thing I postponed my purchase.Hopefully if it retails out here for uder 13k & with my existing PSU then I am all for ATI.

 

[nish_higher]

^ yea ur psu can handle it pretty well.

[technocool]

YEAH!!! check the latest benchmark from anandtech. The 4850 kicks the nvidia 8 and 9 series in their A$$. Also check the conclusion page, there the editor writes that a 4850 CF could beat the nvidia gtx 280!!!!

ALSO, its price is only 200$.....

It seems like budget gamers wish has finally come alive!!

 

[x3060]

finally this time they are really going to rule .

 

[gxsaurav]

At last, finally ATI/AMD is paying attention to efficiency & not brute force. Now we will have good cards at low power requirement. I knew buying a Radeon HD 3650 is a good decision.

"HD 4850 is ATI’s next line of Radeon graphics cards—the RV770-based 4800 series.

The Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 you see pictured here has a core GPU clock speed of 625MHz with 512MB of GDDR3 memory clocked at 993MHz. The memory is connected to the GPU via a 256-bit memory bus. It’s not quite as fast as the new GeForce GTX 260, but keep in mind that GeForce GTX 260 card carries an expected retail price that is double that of the 4850.

This video card is expected to be launched next month.It will cost around Rs. 10,000 in India ."


how well does Sapphire provide after sales service?

 

[dOm1naTOr]
