Get the 4850

 

[apratim2002]

*4850 gives slightly better performance but it can get really heated up...
*both the cards consume similar amounts of power...
*4850 cant run "GRID" for some odd reason while 9800GTX can...but there are so many games that no one bothers about one single game...
Overall, I would go for 9800 GTX(if these 2 were the only cards available).
REASON: 4850 gets too heated up...the idle temperature for 9800 GTX is 62 whereas that for 4850 is 81...almost 20 degree difference...just imagine running a high quality 3D game for a couple of hours...
If you do get a 4850 ultimately, then don't forget to run ur games for 1 hour before breakfast...and keep a few eggs beside you...

Just crank the fan on the gpu to cool it down.
