New card

Hey, I'm looking to buy a new card. I have a 21" monitor and I have chosen between two cards. 4850 or 9800 GT. I have a Intel system also.

4850s better

I hear 4850's performance is on par with the 9800GTX+ and the stock GTX 260


I could be wrong though.


Try google ;]

yea, 4850 def

I agree, google seems to be the best for researching on the little differences in performance etc.


I myself saved up for a 280 ocx and have never regretted it ^^

4850iceq4 is rape, my cousin has one. i myself have the 4870 with a 22" HDTV and can play anything. the 9800gt is decent if all you play is source games, but if you wanna branch out and play games like farcry 2 and crysis, you'd better get that 4850. (preferably the HIS iceq4 version)

it seems unanimous. 4850

"ATi For the win" Says my 4870 Toxic 1gb.

what is your setup? you can also get the 9800gtx if you're a stickler for nvidia. since my mobo is for CF, i went ahead and just got the 4870, over the GTX260.

get a 4850. Here a way to compare them. would you get a 8800gt or a 4850. 9800gt is the exactly the same thing as the 8800 only 55nm and pci-e 2.0. get a sapphire 4870 only $219 and beats out the 260gtx.

C-C-C-Combo Breaker!

48.....50

4850 but id wait and get a GTX260 core 216 black editiion

Get the 4<350

The HIS HD4850 ICEQ4 TURBO X is Awesome and the new XFX HD4850 looks very cool with its red DVI ports and all Black look very sexy card.

The HD 4850 is definitely the better card here. The 8800/9800 GT performs with the HD 4830 while the HD 4850 performs with the 9800 GTX/GTX+.

HIS seems to be a popular brand, that's what i got when i bought my 4870 but is there really a particular reason for this?

i just feel they make the best ATI cards, other than palit's insane tri-fan cooling gpus. iceq4's are badass. too bad i couldn't really afford one :P

9800GTX+


The new model from EVGA is smaller and only requires 1 PCIe

EDIT:

Cant find it in their products page, but they have changed the design of 9800gtx+ to a GTX 260 design...
