http://www.guru3d.com/article/amd-ati-radeon-hd-4850-review-force-3d--powercolor/

This Card is gr8 for the Price/Performance Ratio as it is fairly competting with Nvidia GTX 280

Man cant wait for 4870 thou.

Enjoy the Reading.

Excellent performance for a 200$ card. And it competes with 9800GTX not GTX260. But great performance nonetheless.It performs quite close to my card there is just a 5% difference overall , so no need for me to worry.

4850 is made to beat 9600GT ... performed even Well!!
4870 will be up against 9800s.

here is another review: http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/news/2008/06/20/first-inqpressions

Whatever its targetted at, it performed better than the 9800GTX.
Anyways, this is one of the main reasons im not gonna be getting any 3D card. The price falls way too quickly.
The 9800GTX was launched some time ago for 349.
It fell to 299.
Then 269.

Now next week, its gonna come down to 199.
That is fucked up.

So 9600GT iz gonna get dethroned so soon? DAMN

nVIDIA better come up with some gud or we might see the dayz of Radeon 9000 Series all over again

 

[ASKnASK]

9600GT is gonna come down to the 8600GT price range pretty soon, even in Pakistan.

 

[hasanJ]

Then we'll be able to buy 2X9600GT
Put them in SLi ready board and BAM Games run smoothly at 1600X1200 *sigh*

 

[devildante99]

SLI still isn't that well implemented tech. so it will take time when devs. fully utilize it.

 

[dododo123]

9800gtx is already $199, and the 9800gtx+ is $229

ATi has certainly come up with a good card...i wonder when will it be available in Pak.....

 

[zone]

Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Finale]

hmm.. was accident, cant delete this post, well move along!

 

[fajoo24]

it will be avialable for around the price of 8800 gt here in pk and its performance is on par with 9800 gtx....so i must say i m impressed and my next gpu upgrade could be 4850.....

 

[jawwadshaukat]

How long will it take to come in Pakistan ? Can it be made somehow to come faster, by requesting galaxy..etc ? I hope it does come in 18k range or less

 

[fajoo24]

well galaxy usually gets gpus within a week or 10 days after the official release.....so hopefully it will be here by 15th july.....my guess is that it will be around 19k-20k when it will arrive and will drop to 17-18k in a month or so...

 

[ASKnASK]

15th July???
Its already available on newegg for 199$

 

[ibadmd]

isn't 18k a lot since it's available on newegg for $200 it should be priced over here at around 15000 rupees. not more than that..

 

[jawwadshaukat]

Well, what abt other than Galaxy, like AGN (what I know), are they that quick too. Their prices are more reasonable than galaxy to what I think

 

[jawwadshaukat]

isn't 18k a lot since it's available on newegg for $200 it should be priced over here at around 15000 rupees. not more than that..

This concerns me too, indeed very much. Pakistani market is sucking these days, esp galaxy. E8200/E8400 are 12.5k/13.9k at POP while galaxy is asking 13.3k/16k. I dont know why? Mayb since people just quietly buy at high prices with blind eyes, giving free hand to these dealers.

 

[devildante99]

It would be at least 20-22K not less then that.
