Oh and if you do bother with it because of the ram bottleneck which you will hardly notice, get the sapphire one, club3d meh..
Oh and if you want some proof, check this
Drie goedkope videokaarten in de ring geplaatst (1/5) | Tweakers.net (Dutch, so you'll understand). That is why i put the idea there in the first place, else i would have chosen for the hd3850 too  |
All right, I just thought a 3870 wouldn't make sense on that rather old mobo and with that RAM type.
And I expected the 9600 to be a top card, which was a silly half-ass assumption of mine.
About the p/p ratio: afaik, it was different some months ago. I have not followed the developments when it comes to things like that, that's all.
How come my sig "says" I am a AMD fan boy? The image is about Ubuntu Linux, and the first line is only about the right order from the GeForce modelname suffixes. Nothing bad about Nvidia or Intel
And oh I would appreciate it very much if you don't say things like "so you'll understand", else people think I am either dumb or 10-year-old. English articles are as good as Dutch, as long as they are as well-written as that one
.
So it is yet to decide whether it will become a 512MB 8800 GT or Sapphire Radeon 3870 (or a 4 MB S3 Virge DX/GX
). I think I will check for a recent comparation between those two.
