Ok, so I have been doing some video reviews lately on some new PC hardware, specifically the Sapphire HD4830 and the PNY 9800GT 1024MB cards.

I'm going to put these in a gaming rig shootout. Keeping in mind that the system will be a AMD Phenom X4 overclocked on a Asus M3A78-T board with 4GB of 800Mhz ram. Which card do you think is going to win the benchmark battle?

Here is my video review on the Sapphire HD4830

Let me know what you think guys. And which games I should be using to benchmark against also.

Cheers

I'm guessing 9800GT will win over the 4830.

COD4, everything max (vert. sync OFF), 4AA, 16AF @ 1680x1050 is the only benchmark that's relevant to me, personally.

Good job! Look forward to the benchmarking. I wouldn't hazard a guess at this point which will do better!

This one is easy to figure out...

4+8+3+0=15
9+8+0+0=17

Once you factor in that the 9800GT has twice the ram of the 4830, its really a no contest at 34 to 15.

9800GT FTW!

I thought the same thing for the scenario you described, until I saw this...

run a Crysis Benchmark at nighttime. High settings @ 1680x1050 with 2x AA

Also run a Far Cry 2 bench maxxed with 4x AA @ 1680x1050

Then an overlocked bench using the same benchies above.

don't use COD4 as my HD 2600 can almost max that game. 90 v 99 fps is irrelevant.

Good luck!

Should we report Units post, or is this a joke that isn't funny?

Considering the cards, I'm sure for most games they trade. (assuming you have the real 4830.) Does the 4830 have a gig also? I thought they were 512 only? (or perhaps one with 256...)

I had a choice between the 9800gt and the hd4830 a while back. Btw test more games im sure you'll come to a real conclusion how bout a review. Stop throwing crysis in the middle of ati and nvidia. We all know where is crysis crawling to thats like assassin creed with dx10.1 enabled. Throw in extreme AA configurations also :P But really these two cards are on par it all comes down to preference and price and ati's colour deserved my extra penny.
