welllll i was thinking of sli later on in the future...

well you have to have a sli board. but like i said 9800gtx+ just because it does physx.

 

[wafflehammer]

then the gtx+ would be the way to go...and before the angry fanboys jump in :| out of the reviews i've seen: gtx+ SLI > 4850 crossfire....might cost more..but it still wins in performance lol

 

[philbar71]

gtx+ SLI > 4850

i dont understand the comparison method you are using(not to be a smart donkey but i really dont get it with the >< ) can some one explain?

 

[wafflehammer]

gtx+ SLI > 4850 crossfire

if you're gonna quote me, quote all of it please :|

EDIT: oh you mean the ">" ? .....gtx+ SLI "> means IS BETTER THAN" 4850 crossfire

sorry, i always thought it was like the alligators mouth eats the lesser one. that's my 4th grade teacher told me.

if it were me i would still get the 9800gtx+ over the 4850 because it doubles as a physx processor thing. this is really cool in physx enabled games like unreal tournament 3 with the physx mod pack.

Havok... 'nuff said... but since he's got an SLI board, ya a 9800GTX+ is better

I love how the HD 4870 beats the GTX 260 in a game that nVidia programmed to perform better on their cards haha

 

[philbar71]

havok what's that? is that like physx for ati cards? and how many games utilize havok vs physx?

Gator always eats the bigger/better one. Why eat ground beef when you can have steak?
