4850 vs 9600??

I'm 99% sure that the 4850 will be the one to choose.
A lot of people have been upgrading their 8800gt's with the 4850.

Personally, preferring nvidia, I'm going to wait to see where the 9800+GTX prices fall.
 
First, a 4850 is a tiny bit faster then an 8800Ultra, so a 4850 will obliterate a 9600GT. It fit in my secondary computer just fine and that is a tight case. Also a 4850 is virtually identical to the 3850 PCB-Wise, and I shoehorned the 3850 into my HTPC, so with a nice Antec case you should be fine.
 
Actually, those games don't sound too demanding, maybe save a few bucks and get a 3870 or 8800GT?
 
NO ! right now for the money the 4850 is the best

its faster than my 8800GTX and that says alot !!!
i game at 1920x1200 on a 24inch monitor too

Yeah, for those games, even something slower than the 3870 would do.. maybe a 3850 or Geforce 8600...? Heck, even my integrated X1200 graphics would probably be good enough for the Sims...

Both cards are about the same length (9600GT: 228mm, 4850: ~235mm), and both are single-slot (provided that BFG 9600 is based off the reference design). Also check the motherboard so that there are no components in the way - I had to sacrifice 2 SATA connectors on my m-ATX mobo when I installed the 4850, because the card is blocking them.
 
If you had to choose between a corvette and a civic si, which would you choose? (pretend gas is $1 a gallon lol). That is the question you are asking us...

If it didnt fit in my case, I would cut a section out of the hd bay :p Luckily it fits with about 2 inches of clerance. More breathing room than my 2900pro had.
 
you can get a Powercolor 4850 on newegg for 147 after rebate and promo code
but i would have to recommend a visiontek 4850 because they offer a lifetime warranty
also seem to be very well built
 
Yeah the 4850 is the better choice there. I grabbed one and tested it against my Galaxy 8800GT clocked at 700/1000 and the once lightly overclocked as well, the 4850 is typically around 20% faster at my gaming resolution of 1900x1200.
 
This can't be a serious question. Maybe if you were asking 4850 versus 9800GTX+, price no object... but there is just no comparison to a 9600.
 
I would so pick the Civic Si w/ Navi over the Vette... Pshhh... I never liked Vette's :p

You should get the 4850 :)
