The price of "Gainward HD4850 512MB GS" and "Gainward HD4850 1GB GS" didn't have much of a difference.

So, im going to put 1GB in the poll choice instead of 512MB ..



So the question is .. which one is better ?

Price : Performance Ratio will not be a question here as i only want to know which one is better ..



Or




Please do include your own opinion regarding which one is better whether its slightly better / a different league* much better / you can't feel much difference between them ..


I just need to know which one is the better one ..


Thanks !



p/s : Try to avoid being a "Fan boi" or else, please state that you are a "Fan boi" so i can exclude your section of the poll .

i'll hav to go wit 4850 GS.
performance is superb & can OC quite well as well.

Come on guys .. stop voting without any comments .. lets hear out your words of wisdom

Radeon HD 4850GS 1 GB? Why? Just so that you can run GTA IV with everything maxed

What you plan to use these cards for ?

Future games ? GTA IV ? and your resolution that you wish to play these new games at as well

sob .. i don't think i can play GTA IV with everything maxed especially when my Processor is only Core2Duo !!

anyways .. 9800GTX+ can't play with everything maxed ah?

does the price of two cards is the same?

If both cards has somewhat equivalent performance, TS should go for 9800GTX+. The reason is simple:

"The Way It Is Meant To Be Played"..... more games are optimized for Nvidia cards.

4850 here

ATI does pretty well on TWIMTBP games. If you're still playing crysis, you should facepalm yourself .

roflcopter, srsly

omg .. someone poisoned me ..

"HD4850 is under powered, i would go for HD4870 instead"

now the bonus questions is .. GTX260 216Core is on par with ?

but then again .. i'll only stick with two options ..

HD4850 1GB GS

or

9800GTX+ 512MB

4870 OC 1GB sure pawn GTX260 216core.

4850 of coz as nvidia card is just a smaller die of an old technology while ati is a new architecture.

emm..for gtx260 core 216 is actually better then 4870 1gb version and even in terms of oc,core 216 just oc like madness while 4870 is not going far..

for the pole 4850 my choice.

then GTX260 OC version core 216 sure will pawn back 4870 oc version
this core 216 is to counter back 4870 1gb ..

yeah my vote still goes to 4850..esp GS version

o rly?sos pls?

from what i see in reviews and comments here and abroad,its the other way round

off topic .. will ST56F be able to power up HD4870 1GB GS ?

Im sure it`ll will, as the ST is true power...

I suggest teh 1Gb version

see this.
