Default Which GPU to opt for?


I am unable to make my mind as to which GPU to opt for? Should I in for a 8800 or a 9600. Which is a more better option?
My budget is about 10000 Rs. with some minor incrementation possible.

Why don't you order the Palit online from www.theitwares.com. Or you can travel to next big city or you can ask your dealer to arrange for one. bec palit HD4850 is better then the other two.

Go for XperVision HD4850.
It's got a higher memory clock, and a better cooler design.

I think all the manufacturer upgraded their h/w to keep the GP cool. Go for HD4850. Sapphire or Palit.

Can anyone tell me the difference between a Palit HD4850 and a Palit HD4850 Sonic?

Also, do these ITwares guys ship to Nagpur?
