Shocker Of A Performer, 9800gt

[comp@ddict]

I'm so sorry about the comparision, I didn't read that part, it's cause in the OCing, guru3d's ppl alwayz use Mass Effect, so sorry again about that.

But believe me, and OCed 9600GT and an OCed 4850 put together, although the 9600GT performs 5% slower, but who''l complain cause the 9600GT is 3k cheaper than the 4850.

Here's what they say (*www.tomshardware.com/reviews/Best-Graphics-Card,2011-3.html)

The Radeon HD 4850 is the new people’s champion, instantly bringing yesterday’s $300 performance level down to the mainstream $170 price point. The Radeon HD 4850 will usually best the GeForce 9800 GTX, and even the more expensive 9800 GTX+. This card has a lot of potential when used on its own, and becomes a devastating force when paired with a second 4850 in a CrossFire configuration.

The Radeon HD 4870 offers the same architecture as the 4850-series paired with its secret weapon: brand new GDDR5 memory. Because GDDR5 provides about twice as much throughput compared to GDDR3, its 900 MHZ clock speed is comparable to a 3600 MHZ effective memory speed. This edge allows the 4870 to up the ante and offer very compelling performance for the price, in some titles competing with the more expensive GTX 280.

3k cheaper than the 4850.

Its not 3k cheaper than the 4850. Just around 20$ less than the 4850.
Paying 20$ extra for a card that offers 5-15% performance boost at stock speed is not that bad.

And if you compare the Palit HD4850 Sonic Edition to this card, its going to blow this away in terms of overclockablity because thanks to a Dual Slot cooler, it OCs much better.

As usual, 4850 is expensive in India MAINLY because ATI is expensive in India. Its as simple as that.

 

[nvidia]

Yeah.. If AMD concentrates more in the Indian market it would really boost their sales.
Btw, how much does the Sonice edition cost?

 

[desiibond]

^^ Recently I came to know this.

How big the fan is, ATI HD4850's processor frequency just can't go beyond 700Mhz.

PS: This card really doesn't need any overclocking

Why so?

PS: This card really doesn't need any overclocking

Thats true.. At least it doesn't need to be OCed to beat the 9800GT

I think the thread title should be changed. The 9800GT is no 'shocker'.
Should be changed to 'another failure from nvidia'

According to Palit, its going to phase out the standard edition since it has a slightly higher clockspeed and much better cooling. AT SAME COST.

But cunning Indian shopkeepers always do something evil. They sell it at Rs. 500-1000 higher.

 

[nvidia]

If Palit Sonic is going to cost the same, then the prices of other models could come down.

Nope. Not when palit is the CHEAPEST graphics card maker in India. Just recently out throned by Zotac for nVidia and Sapphire for ATI.

Lolz you made me realise that .

BTW- r display name is nvidia, then???

 

[nvidia]

^My display name has nothing to do with my likes...

lol!

nvidia just selected his name because of his favourite card at the time of his joining.

 

[desiibond]

^^ Yeah. I know. Am just joking

 

[comp@ddict]

Yeah, funny right, just a few months back we woould only be suggsting Nvidia cards and now baazi palat gayi lolz, true isn't it

 

[desiibond]

Don't be upset. We suggest what is best

 

[nvidia]

^+1.
When i joined this forum, nVidia 8800GTX was my favorite card(Although i had the 8600GT ESE). So created an id as nvidia8800. Now i have changed it to nVidia cuz 8800 is old Won't change it to anything again. Cuz in the hardware world, things can change overnight these days

Cant u c the ATi Tag below Nvidia.....

well HD4870X2 is the topper now...in crossfire mode
