Get gts250

GTS250 is rebranded 9800GTX+ which performs slightly more than 4850. actually there is hardly any difference between two..both cards beats by slight difference in different games. i would suggest u to get gts250 as it has physx also. get xfx or zotac brand, you'll get cod5 game with it. . XFX is a bit costly but has double warranty and zotac has 2 years warranty and also requires 2 6pin/1 8pin PCIE

Honestly its worth waiting and saving till you can get your hands on a 5770.

Re: Get gts250

XFX is a bit costly but has double warranty

XFX might have double warranty, but there are a lot of people having trouble getting Rashi to honour it. So, keep this in mind while going for XFX.

If you want ATI card only then take your pick between 5770, 4870 and 4890. GTS 250 cannot be compared with any of these.

btw, HD 4870 is way powerful than a GTS 250, and the 4870 512 is just around 7.5k though power consumption is bit on the higher side, and the idle power consumption too is on higher side, if u dun flash its bios to lower clocks and voltages while idling. 512 is enough, as 1G makes only 5~6% diff. Check guru3d comparion on 4870 512 vs 1G, and even at 1920*1200. diff is negligible.

Next is HD 5770. Its slightly slower than 4870, but is DX 11 and consumes much lower power, and greater room for OC, but on the downside, it costs more about 9.5k for the 1G version.

The best performing ATI sub 11k card is the HD 4890. It is almost 11k, but much powerful than all of these cards, but consumes power like hell compared to HD 5770/GTS 250.

4850<GTS 250<HD 5750<HD 5770< HD 4870< HD 4890< HD 5830< HD 5850.

AFAIK ZOTAC comes with 5 years warranty. you need to register at their site to get extra two years.

ASUS HD5750 FORMULA (non-reference) 1GB GDDR5 @ 8.2k

For 10k

Sapphire HD5770 1GB GDDR5 @ 9.6k

MSI HD5770 HAWK 1GB GDDR5 @ 10.2k (BEST HD5770 money can buy!)

Grab any of these because:-

1. Non reference cooling (except the sapphire one)

2. 40nm ultra cool and power-efficient

3. BEASTLY OC(on HD5770)

4. Excellent performance(especially over a HD3850)

Ati HD 4770 512MB DDR5 ?

 

[BHULLAR BOYS]

the DDR5 version was only available with palit and palit was discontinued as ATi partner for the same reason.

the new and official 4850 with ddr5 is known as 4860 with other partners.

the DDR5 version anyways would be as good as an HD4870 if slightly overclocked....last i bought 4850 DDR5 for a friend...it was for ~8.5k at lamington..impossible to get one at any market now.

 

[BHULLAR BOYS]

is it a better choice than gts 250???

Gr8 reply arvind.Point to point.Go for the Legend of our times.The HD4890.It is the best card if u can't afford to the 58** series.It is truly a great card.

 

[adi_vastava]

Any ATI 4 series card above 4850 can beat it with ease, as simple as that.

by the way are you going to compete with some friend having gts 250 :hap2:.

good luck,
