Hi Guys,

Created a new thread after a long time. My friend wanna purchase a GPU under 5.5k. Budget is strictly under 5.5 k but can increase 0.5 k if required.

So I suggested him 9800 GT. So any suggestions ?

Go for GALAXY GTS 250 512MB DDR3 @ 6.3K.Excellent for the price.

ATI 4850 - 6.5k is best buy

Are you sure GTS 250 comes for 6.3 k ?

And Anubis, 4850 is 6.7k now :banghead:.So thats over his budget.

This conversation can easily end if you be more specific bro

Wate is his

1. Resolution for playing games
2. PSU ( most important )

You can't even suggest 9800gt if he has generic psu.

Sapphire 4770 @ 6.8 is better as the power consumption is almost half of that of 4850
with just 10-15% drop in performance
