The cooler on the XFX 4830 and 4850 is good from what ive read. Also the 4830 is better than the 8800GT/9800GT. The 4830 can overclock up to 4850 performance if you can keep temperatures under control. Honestly I would get the 4830.

You should be able too as long as its not Crysis. The 4830 is better than the 9800GT.

ncix will be expensive since its canadian, shipping will kill you. Ive used mwave before and they are good.

I see you already have a 750i and a 9800GTX, im assuming the 4830 is for a different system?

yeah its for my 2nd system i did not know ncix was canadian lol. i am just use to newegg. i would rather spend the extra $20-30 on the card and get a lifetime warranty plus i can overclock and it will be covered.

is xfx just as good as evga?

4830 on sale at the Egg for 75 bucks after rebate

Reply to Homeboy2

yeah but it does not have the lifetime warranty or the coverage for overclocking.

who cares about a lifetime warranty? you gonna keep the card til you retire at 65? Far as warranty for overclocking, who knows if you overclocked it?

Reply to Homeboy2

i like to have it. because i might keep it for about a year or 2. also i want to add a aftermarket cooler. plus with xfx and evga you get american tech support not indiana where you cant understand them.

yer money, but most cards have a couple year warranty, if yer gonna spend all that extra plus aftermarket cooler you mite as well go for something faster.
Yeh , its hard to understand them Indiana people lol

Reply to Homeboy2

i found a good deal on a VisionTek 4850 for $110 shipped so i might jump on that. but i like buying new parts not used lol. the reasoning for me saying lifetime warranty is because i can sell it for cheap and the person who buys it will get a lifetime warranty as well. plus i dont think other warrantys like powercolor or them support overclocking. and i think they can tell if you o/c
