HD4850 easily beats 9800GT. 9800GTX+ is the prime competitor for HD4850 but price is around 12k

Competition is between 9800GTX and HD 4850. 9800gt is no where between.

Well, If you can, get nvidia 260GTX 216 within 15K...good value for money

Its below 250USD $ , and 250USD $ = INR Rs 12,000 Approx .. Add to that 2K for shipping,taxes etc etc so it comes well under 15K and don't forget to get the new 216core , its supposed to compete to beat HD4870.

Supposed to, but the overclocked version from BGF beats GTX280 blak-and-blue.

The card that blows away even the HD4870 X2 and GTX280 in few games.

That is the best high end card ever, and I must say, an ultimate GTX280 killer and a competition to HD4870X2 as well.
