Good card for $120 ?

Whoa.. AMD vs nVidia fight happened here?

But when you want to Crossfire/SLI, you will need a X38/X48 (the cheapest starts at $200) to get 16x/16x while the 750i FTW is $150.

i believe you pay for quality. i've got my eye on a evga 750i ftw on newegg for 165 right now.

Lets get back on track guys.

The 9800GT or HD4830 will do great.

i've been working on my friends 790i ultra and have had nothing but love for it!!!! awesome board... i wish i had gone for the 790i

and anyway... we should look at overclocking potential of 9800gt and 4830.. i know for a fact if the 4830 is anything like the 4850... it will not do over 700mhz without a voltmod

Guys let him decide.. don't push something down his throat.. and he's using the card

Both are the exact same price, before and after rebate.. pick one

(I'm not trying to be a jerk guys but I'm just trying to stop some flaming and me giving infractions)

my sources tells me otherwise

Radeon HD 4830 review HIS technology

Easily we were able to push the core towards 700 MHz and the memory towards 2000 MHz (effective).

attained even better results

That's crazy... almost matched the HD 4850 in some situations, matched it in some...

It's a waste of potential we can't soft mod it to an HD 4850
