I wanna sell my 9600 GT and get a better card so I can run games with decent fps on a 1920 x 1200. I was thinking about a 4850 but from what I heard they are hot and you need to turn up the fan speed to cool it. It would probably be loud and it would bother me.
I've noticed a 4850 by Gigabyte though with a Zalman aftercooler which is only 15 dollars more than the sapphire one without a good cooler. The reviews say the fan is loud though...
Some people told me to get a 9800gtx+, but they are expensive and hardly better. When I checked the fps charts, it's only 4 fps better than a 4850 at the resolution that I'm gonna play (1920 x 1200 ). The cheapest 9800gtx+ is only 10 dollars or so more than the 4850 with the Zalman aftercooler, but one by EVGA costs as much as a 4870.
A 4870 is kinda out of my budget, I'd prolly need a good PSU and my CPU would maybe bottleneck it.
Please help.
