But i dont see any stock 9800GT in that chart. All i can see is 200mhz oced memory, 1125 mhz oced shader and a 50mhz on core.
Any review says, 4770 gains more than 20% performance on OC.
even in my earlier post slightly OC 9800GT was performing better then HD4770 in mainstream games but forget about HD4770, as v know HD4850 is 5-10% faster then HD4770 so here's an OC 9800GT is in comparison with HD4850

Seems like some people dont wanna accept the reality. Mr Nvidia fans
no body here is saying that 9800GT is faster then HD4770, we are talking about more VFM product here, & as per your logic of electricity bills are then lemme tell u if u'll use a good PSU(with high efficiency obviously) with 9800GT(which is necessary) n on the other side u'll use an HD4770 with not so good PSU then ur electricity bills won't show any drastic change as PSU's with low efficiency consume more current

how can 9800GT be more vfm than 4770 with all those points i mentioned.
ur points were -
* power consumption - it's recommended that u shouldn't use local PSU with even HD4770, so a decent PSU like VIP500W will run both cards(though i agree power consumption of HD4770 is obviously less but it isn't very drastic on a decent or good PSU)
* slight better performance at stock - that i agree but also its price is more then 1.5k above 9800GT(9800GT ~ 5.5k, HD4770 ~7k-7.2k)
* mostly HDMI adapter bundled, which is not the case with 9800GT - i don't think it a greatly consideration point of HD4770 over 9800gt
* Audio through HDMI which are really helpful for HTPC - don't u know that v can do this with 9800GT too?? :O if u wanna know how then lemme know, i'll explain in detail :bleh:
* Crazy performance after OC. After OC it even beats stock 4850 or GTS 250. 9800GT wont even come closer. - for this i've already posted pics in which 9800GT OC is also beating stock HD4850(as u r underestimating 9800GT OC by saying it won't even come closer, m posting everything for only this point

) & do u know how many ppl have probs of high temp after OCing HD4770..just google it n u'll know
* future proof with DX 10.1 - ya that's a unique feature of ATI cards over any NV card but as DX11 cards r just about to come so now buying a card with DX10.1 isn't a gud idea of buying a FUTURE PROOF card..as per a unique point NV cards also have feature of Phsyx which u can really notice when u'll play games like Batman with both ATI & NV card
*latest cutting edge design with 40nm GPU and GDDR5 memory. - GDDR5 memory is gr8 but i don't c much gud points related to 40nm architecture as lots of ppl faced probs of overheating upto 90C after slight OC which is a contradiction :O
