Which GPU to opt for?

[Desmond]

I am unable to make my mind as to which GPU to opt for? Should I in for a 8800 or a 9600. Which is a more better option?
My budget is about 10000 Rs. with some minor incrementation possible.

One word, HD4850

 

[comp@ddict]

U n nVidia fanboy or u were knocked out cold for a really long long time.
Here's the list with the performance in ascending:

9600GT @ 6k
8800GT @ 8.5k
9800GT @ 7.5k
....
HD 4850 @ 9.5k(best ever, beats 8800ULTRA, happy now?)

The truth is :

Palit HD4850 @ 9.7k...

No more options u have...Just pick this...

Thanks for the info. Its been a long time indeed since I have read digit. Thanks a lot guys.

 

[Desmond]

Errrr....Guys,

The Palit HD 4850 does'nt seem to be available at my place....The options I have are XpertVision and Sapphire. Which among these is better?

 

[gxsaurav]

Go for sapphire

 

[MetalheadGautham]

See the price. Then the specs (core speed, memory speed).

 

[Desmond]

Is it really good??

 

[toofan]

Why don't you order the Palit online from www.theitwares.com. Or you can travel to next big city or you can ask your dealer to arrange for one. bec palit HD4850 is better then the other two.

Go for XperVision HD4850.
It's got a higher memory clock, and a better cooler design.

 

[comp@ddict]

ANd it costs the lowest, ~9.5k
WHile Sapphire, well jus' check here:

sapphire has some heating problems in past with HD 4850 so check this before buying. Palit's one are cool and .........

 

[comp@ddict]

U said the opposite^^^ Palit "HAD" some heating probs, but no longer!

I think all the manufacturer upgraded their h/w to keep the GP cool. Go for HD4850. Sapphire or Palit.

Can anyone tell me the difference between a Palit HD4850 and a Palit HD4850 Sonic?

Also, do these ITwares guys ship to Nagpur?

 

[Desmond]

One more doubt, My board is the Asus P5GC-MX/1333, will it support the XpertVision HD 4850 I am about to get?

Dont opt for Sonic , palit HD 4850 is more than enough u can manually overclock

 

[comp@ddict]

SONIC has better COOLING^^^

 

[Psychosocial]

Go for Sapphire if its between Xpert Vision and Sapphire.
