Need to upgrade

[apm160]

Hello all,

I have a 7600Gt from about two years ago. I am looking to up grade to a 8800GT or 9800GT. I mostly play Unreal Tournament yet looking forwards to GTA4's release to PC. Which card would be the best for around $200?

Thanks

Take a look at the HD4850's they're good cards, also the 9800GTX+.

Like said above, if you have a 200 buck price range a 4850 or 9800GTX+

So it kinda comes down to ATI or Nvidia???

This seems like a decent card

Yeah, pretty much.

Here's a comparison between the HD4850 and the 9800GTX+

I'd take the 9800GTX+ if it was me, though.

heres a review of the 4850. in most of the test, it beats the 9800gtx. http://techreport.com/articles.x/14967/1 also, if you decide to buy the 4850, i would recommend the asus non-ref card, with glaciator fan. the 4850 is known for its high temp so the glaciator should help somewhat with that.

9800GTX+ is faster than normal 9800GTX and it is based on 55nm

I vote for 9800GTX+

It pretty much always comes down to one or the other,,

I'd vote for ATI...but a 9800 may be a better choice for you.
