Which is best HD 4850 vs 9800 GTX+

Paranoia77 · 11-07-2008, 08:38 AM

I'm building an Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 with GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3R and i'm wondering which video card is better and what brand i should get.

Any ideas greatly appreciated. Oh i'm trying to get a card around $200 that has good cooling and i'm not into oc'ing

can someone also tell me what "Stream Processors" is on the vid card spec's? the 9800 gtx+ has 128 and the 4850 has 800 Stream Processing Units

thanks for the info in advance :)

4850, hands down, 1 gig versions if it fits your budget.

thats what i figured. its just hard to let go of evga and their lifetime warranty and knowing the card is not going to overheat :)

Any thoughts on this type of card

Have a look through these charts, see if your favorite game and screen resolution is listed
Scroll down the list to find the single cards the dual are marked CF or SLI > http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/g...v1-21,754.html

It's hard to give up the Evga warranty and support.
