9800GTX or 4870?

[zomgjerry]

well...what do u think?

4870, its suppose to even outperform the GX2, but we'll see...

 

[Geoff]

The 4870 is a much better choice... when it comes out.

 

[zomgjerry]

alrite...but which one is cheaper?

 

[Geoff]

I don't believe pricing is released on the 4870, but I'd say to expect it to be around $300-$400 (probably closer to $400).

[Justin]

Early benchmarks. I wouldn't trust 'em far as I can can throw them.. Which I can't so I don't trust em at all.

Early benchmarks put the GT200 cards a good deal above the GX2 too.

4850 ~ 9800GTX
So, 4870 > 9800GTX

 

[Deathrow]

depends what your benching.

9800GTX owns 4850 on Crysis, 4850 is awful for Crysis.

 

[zomgjerry]

well there u go im chosing the 9800 GTX cause i want to play crysis good.
thx guys :]

 

[Geoff]

Or you can wait for the 4870 (next week?), that will own the 9800GTX.

 

[zomgjerry]

next week...rly?

 

[Geoff]

next week...rly?

There have been a lot of rumors around, some say they will be out tomorrow the 25th, some say not until July 8th. So I guess we'll have to wait and see.
