I am looking to upgrade from my 7950gt oc pci-express to something a little better. i was wondering if anybody had any good suggestions. im looking to spend around $100-$200
Yeah the 4850 or the 9800 should be suitable for that budget. If you want to overclock then I would suggest the nvidia card.
Umm.. the only thing I have realized from my observation/comparison between the 8800GT and the 9800GT is the fact that the 9800GT uses a PCI-E 2.0 interface so the transfer speed should double. Also, it supports OpenGL 2.1 rather than the 2.0 from the 8800GT.
doesnt the 9 series do directx 10.1?
Go with the 9800 GTX, I can take mine up to 800 MHz on the core and it runs great. Turn up the fan a little and everything stays nice and cool. This is the best card for the money right now no questions! Price : Performance ratio and the 9800 GTX is clearly the winner.
