XFX 8800GT XXX or an ATI 4850

Just building a new box and can't decide which is better value, the XFX 8800GT XXX or an ATI 4850. They are more or less the same price in my country.

The system will be based around a Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3R and an E8400. will have a couple of Gigs of RAM, SATA HD and DVD all powered by a corsiar HX 520.

I only have a 19 inch screen with a res of 1280 * 1024. I do play some games.

I like the sound of the 4850, but I'm a little concerned about the temps, also what are the noise levels like on these cards. Unfortunately aftermarket coolers are hard to get here.

Thanks

I've got a 8800GT, and although it is a great card, the 4850 is faster.

4850 even bets 9800gtx more 50% of the times.........and with AA enabled 4850 beats 9800gtx almost always. so 8800gt isnt realy in the same class as 4850.......

but let me tell u this.....8800gt is fine for a 19 inch monitor. m more than happy with my 9600GT and my 19inch monitor.plays all games (except crysis) at max setting + res..... however, 4850 will enable u to play crysis with max settings and will be better for future proofing......

temp should not be a problem as u can increasing fan speed up to 60% from 25% which will decrease idle temp from 75+ C to 45+ C. the max temp will be arrond 60...

so by all means get a 4870....

4850 is still better than a 8800 GT XXXXXXXX Version....lol, Marketing......

It will be 19 inch monitor for some time, the new components make me broke
