I'm gonna get an NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX, but I don't really know if they are anything better in that price.
So I need your opinion.

Here is the link, where you can find this card : http://www.nvidia.com/object/geforce_9800gtx.htm

Thanks.

LOL get a ATI hd 4870 say good bye to that crappy 9800GTX

Better price ?

I, personally, don't like ATi, for some reason. If you're gonna run on Intel motherboards, 9800GTX is the way to go, if you're gonna run on AMD motherboards, HD 4870 is the way to go

thats bullshit ralleee, i'm running a q6600 with a hd4850 and it beats the 9800gtx big time.
the 4870 is like half the price of the 9800gtx and its way better.

At the moment I have an ATI 9600 Pro, but that's not really good.
So maybe nvidia is better, I dunno.

NVIDIA 5500 HELL YEA

v i talked about my own card, i got 5500

I don't think a 5500 is better than a 9800 GTX or a ATI 4870...

the price/performance of the hd4870 is just nuts, its better then the 9800GTX and its cheaper.

Isn't nVIDIA better than ATi when it comes to drivers and that kind of stuff?

boxXx · « **Reply #12 on:** July 29, 2008, 10:51:12 AM »

actually not, the new ATI drivers fixed the gay problems with the aa and stuff, the thing is ATI also performs better when turning on AA and AF.

You can't really do comparing with that card. I would listen to boxXx at this, and yes drivers are fine.

Thats a pile of shite tbh. Nvidia failed on thier mid-range cards for the 8 series. Looks pretty much the same for the 9 series too, especially with 4850's being around the same price as 9600's.
