go for HD4850....compared to its performance heating is much less, when compared to its equivalent nVidia crads

Asssuming you have a decent enough power supply, ati 4850 anyday. Never seen ati over heating more than it should. Its not as if its going to melt or something.

i am also looking for a gfx card near 10K
i have short-listed the cards
XFX 8800GT
eVGA 9800GT
eVGA 9800GTX+
Palit HD4850

my motherboard is ASUS A8N-VM-CSM
with nvidia chipset n430
it has a PCI-e slot, but its not PCI-e 2.0
i am wondering whether these cards will be compatible with it or not cause 8800GT is backward compatible.

also my moniter is 17" LG , i have seen that the HD4850 performs better at high resolutions, whether my moniter can display that much resolution?

pls guide
any other suggestions are also welcome.

all above mentioned cards r backward compatible, so u can use them with ur PCI-e 1.1 mobo. ur monitor can display res. up to 1280x1024 without any problems.

my suggestion is 9800 GTX from ZOTAC, it cost u around 10500.. good value for money.. n if ur ready to spend some xtra rs 1000 grab a 9800 GTX+..

"HAPPY GAMING"

thanks j1n M@tt

then if i buy HD 4850, is it worth for me to pay extra money for iti over 8800GT.

i both case how much PS will be sufficient for any of them.

9800 GTX from Zotac.Read the last month Digit issue,it is the winner of the test.

 

[nd4spd]

ok i will read it.

@nd4spd

HD4850 is better than 8800GT. 9800GTX may be better, wait for some more opinions. I hav been out of this review business for a while now.

@j1n M@tt
i have read all theards related to this topic, and everybody is coming down to HD4850,
are there new cards coming into the market that fits my requirements or budget.
just wanna make sure, that i am buying at the right time.

thank you guyz
but which variant of hd4850 should i go for
palit hd4850
palit hd4850 sonic
palit hd4850 (palit design)

I am using the sonic version of palit 4870 1 GB ddr5. The cooling of the sonic version is worth the extra money. It seems the sonic version are supposed to be complete non reference models- so buying a palit dual sonic version of 4850 is a good deal.
