Along with the 8800GS..

[ellanky]

I was just wondering, which of the Ati cards runs on par with the 8800GS? and is it any better or the same

 

[mep916]

I'm guessing it would be the 3850.

 

[mcyi9ky2]

indeed 3850 is slightly (only slightly) better than 8800GS (or 9600GSO, new name).....

but if you ask "on par with the 8800GS"...i would say 3850 too

oh yea.. why did they rename it?

According to marketing professionals, and through rigorous focus group testing of gamers, enthusiasts and nVidia fanboys, the 9600GT sounded "better," and more "robust."

yea its about on par with the 3850 an the 8800GS will OC like a beast should be abal to get it to about 750/2000 well that is what i got my friends ASUS one to

 

[just a noob]

3850 is what i think

yeah, 3850 is almost on par, usually a bit slower though.

8800GS is very cheap nowadays. I think you can get for just $99 after MIR
