| 739347 | 2009-01-16 09:01:00 | I'm having difficulty on which graphics card to decide on! Not sure if spending the extra money is worth it or not? (just to help, I have an Intel core2duo E8400 3GHz CPU) Here are my options: - ATI 4850 (512Mb) for $340 - NVIDIA 9800 GTX+ for $350 - ATI 4850 (1GB) for $415 - ATI 4870 for $490 |

| 739352 | 2009-01-17 03:12:00 | So what you are all trying to say is the 4850 is a better option than the 9800GTX+ considering they are the same price. But is the extra $150 really rip out much performance increase for the 4870? |

| 739354 | 2009-01-17 08:21:00 | If its an option spend more $$ if required to get a silent heatpipe version. Or maybe even consider a slightly slower model (depending on your requirements). The small GPU fans tend to be dust magnets and fail quickly not to mention noisey as in summer. |
