I think HD4870 is much better than 9800GX2 n it consumes lot less power too i guess....m not 100% sure since havent used ne of those 2 cards...but if u ppl like then i'll add it too
 
Yup..Nice thread..But you should replace that xfx 8600gt with a 9500gt..8600gt is kinda outdated now..9500gt is better and costs the same..
 
Good work there.

But consider including the 9800GX2 as well. It is a card worth considering apart from high power consumptions. ;)

Are you a Palit fanboi?? :p Include other major brands like Sapphire, GeCube, Asus, MSi etc.

I'm no Palit Fanboy...Palit provides best price to perforance ratio..

Eg: Palit 9600GT costs 6100(mumbai price)

Evga\XFX 9600GT costs around 8000 at tht price i can get Palit 9800GT which will outperform 9600GT quite easily no matter which brand....neways if u ppl still think i should include i'll put a slash n include other brands...but then i will have to include 9600GT in under 8000 category n its no match for 9800GT....

N i have included brands like EVGA,Sapphire where price to performance ratio isnt a barrier!!!

Well suggest the better brands with price so that i can include it in my guide!!!
