Which Graphics card 8800gt oc or 4850?

Question

should i get the zotac amp 8800gt with 112 stream processors 700mhz core clock and a 2000mhz mem clock or a radeon 4850 with 800 stream processors 625 mhz core clock and a 1986mhz mem clock?

Answer 1

Go with the 8800GT. It is just as good, for half the price. You could get two for the price of one 4850.

Answer 2

without a doubt the 4850 - check out the benches at toms hardware:

the 4850 beats the 8800 hands down

at ncix you can get a 8800 for $139.99, or a 4850 for 174.99.

also the 8800 is 2 generations old, and the 4850 is part of ati's current gen.

i would recomend a 4850 - I myself might be picking up a 4870x2 later this year.
