Hm..
I think anything more than radeon 3850 would be bottlenecked by ur CPU.If u can get one for 10 K or less buy that.Else 8800 gt version is much better(considering India prices).This way,u can keep the 8800 gt when upgrading ur cpu,then buy another one to sli(if no plans for upgrading in next 2 yrs,then buy 8800 gt pci express 2 version since more future proof.If ur PSU generic or separate,which brand.


About the prices outside:
8800 gt about 220-260 $
3850 about 180-210 $
But,in India:
8800 gt - Rs 13-15K
3850 -Rs 11.5 -13K
3870 - Rs 13-15K
9600gt -Rs 13k?

If u have someone outside coming soon,persuade them to buy 8800gts 512MB :).(<300$)

8800 GT KO "Knock-Out" edition - rs 13400

after some bargain u may just get it for ur budget


but just to inform 9600gt can overclock more than 8800gt (in stable state)

9600gt
Stock: 650/1600/900
Max Stable OC: 821/2105/1050

8800gt
Stock: 640/1600/900
Max Stable OC: 730/1825/1050

and 9600 run cooler than 8800 in 3dmark test

8800gt - Temp>> Idle:38c Load: 47c
9600gt - Temp>> Idle:33c Load: 46c

but 8800 wins in performance

8800gt - 3DMark06: 14541
9600gt - 3DMark06: 13312

specify source, if u can!
btw, 14541 is too good score for 8800GT! IMO, the test bed would've Extreme Series Quad including ram!

^^^^
I saw the same scores in techenclave.com forums

probably he referred the same benchies I guess
:D

strike that I'm wrong :D

btw you are right about the test bed for such high 3Dmark scores for the two cards ;)

ya the test rig was a

quad core Q6600 - (3.6 ghz) oc

Crucial Ballistix Tracer 800Mhz 4x1GB @ 4-4-4-12 [but actually ballistix series that outperforms others]
P5K Deluxe Mobo

but it doesn't matter as both cards were tested in the same rig
