I'm Confused should I buy 8800gt 256MB or a HD3850 (USA).

THE nvidia card performs better but is a bit more expensive,both r gr8 value but thn we have seen the prformae of ati cards get much much better wid drivers.

No comparison between 8800 and Hd3850 get 8800 GT eye closed from EVGA Check the review written by Funky dada http://www.techenclave.com/forums/evga-8800gt-ko-512mb-review-101255.html

if doing a multi gpu thing, then close eyes choose ATI, they scale so great that it leaves nvidia looking like an idiot. if single card setup then 8800gt.

guys..hes comparing between the 8800GT "256Mb" and the 3850....NOT the 512 Mb. I would say 3850 for availability n lower pricing

For playing at higher resolution go for a 512MB card !!!

 

[god's_gift]

if 8800gt then get the gainward superclocked 88gt with core 735 and shader at 1750

it have custom cooler and will support the oc..shld perform even over the g92 gts version

Do a comparsion yourself, divide the performance in games by the price and get the avg price per perofmance ration, and decide if spending the extra 30 bucks for an 8800GT is worth or no. For me I stuck with HD 3850, other people will have different opinions, but I had a dif criteria to, I would use the saved 30 bucks add a lil and get a better PSU too.

Its a very close match here

HD 3850 512 MB from Sapphire. Different people will have diff opinions. Analyze yourself don't go by blind faith of Nvidia fans. Further ATI cards are better for hardware decoding, DVD etc. They are almost equal in performance. See for yourself:
