I'm thinking on upgrading, right now I'm selling, all my 8500GT, 7600GS, and X600
after just a little try, I think I like ATi...

want to ask, what is the best graphic card with RM400 - RM500, pls state ur reason, right now considering on 3850 but my friends said that DX10.1 is not something can be use now...

what I really cares is performance and its graphic projection, I've notice certain GC, even having a high Core Clock, pretty much doesn't project a nicer image, what the different is the detailedness and the frame rate (the image is not flashy)

since I use 8500GT with Core/Memory Speed at 600/1200 the new card must be better to that Spec. And I really to know what the different the cards will make when the capacity (256mb 512mb) and Interface (64bit 128bit) are different.

What can u recommend? what new card can I get.... ur concern might affecting my new GC, planning on buying early next month.

If u want to offer ur used GC, I really like to see the Screenshot of games i know. I really confuse right now.

p/s: I'm a real hardcore gamers w/o hardcore money.... its quite annoying when the graphic lags when burning tire in ProStreet Drag, and When missile swarming in Tiberium Wars.

This time round both Ati and Nvidia are offering equal IQ right now .

My suggestion is , ATi HD3850 . Never look at core/memory clock alone to determine a 3d card performance . It depends on the overall architecture like how you can't compare CPU clock for clock .

The HD3850 easily offer double to triple performance over your 8500GT depends on resolution and games . Believe me , you won't be disappointed with it . wink.gif

p/s 8800GS only comes in 192bit flavor

A bigger memory width 256 bit as opposed 128 bit makes a lot of difference in calculating your graphic card Maximum bandwidth and that one is essential if you are playing very taxing games like Crysis and etc

A graphic card with more onboard Video memory can render a game images better as it has more space to process the images before projceting it onto the monitor.Recommended are 512MB for now.

Core clock and memory clock makes little difference to the overall performance of the card.Try to look into the data width of the card,Direct X version supported,and the amount of memory it has.Do not buy cards which uses Main RAM memory as they perform worse than their equivalent counterpart
