Ok, there's the 4830, 4850, 4870....but wait, the 4770 is better than the 4830 and 4850? Or only the 4830...wait, isn't the 4770 an older model??? And the prices are so close I can't tell the difference...
Anyway, I am contemplating building another rig...I built one in Nov. 2007 with an 8800GT KO from EVGA...but since then I haven't kept up with the market.
Since my wife doesn't approve of me building another computer I want this to be reasonable...we're in Italy and my rig is in the States...hence why I want another one, so here's what i've found:
9800GT: same as my old 8800GT, less than $100
4770 whatever: people keep saying this is faster/stronger, etc. but I just don't get what it's being compared to...I see some benches, look at some #'s and it seems comparable to the 9800GT, but then I read some members saying an upgrade to the 4770 was like day and night...
48xx: I'm guessing the 4850 and 4870 are roughly the same cards because of the pricing but how do I decide? Are these better than the 4770 or not?
I suppose that's really all that the market has in this range...I'm looking to keep the card prices under $100 and some of these on newegg are $80-90 range, so that's fine.
So what card do I get?
...oh, and what happened to clubit?? Did they go under?
