HD4670 vs. 8800GT Alpha Dog

Good day all!!!!

I would like to ask the THG community once again...

I have been contemplating on a Graphics Card upgrade for the past 2 months... With the recession and all... It has been harder and harder to make a decision.... Anyways, here is my query

XFX8800GT APLHA DOG vs. HD 4670OC

-----> Which one would be a better deal as I saw the 8800 on sale for $95 in a Compumart in my area (I think it is a clearance sale...) and I was looking at the 4670OC as well, which goes for $85. Im more on "future proofing" (ON A BUDGET) my computer than of raw performance...if that makes any sense.... Anyway could some please give me some sound advise on which card I should get.

I would like to thank you all in advance!

More power!

First of all, stop posting this. I've seen this at least 3 times.
Secondly, get the 8800. It's a great card and still performs very well in today's games. However, if you really want the best bang for the buck, for 100$ you can get the 4770. It performs about the same of a 9800+ for a very nice price.
Good luck, and next time, be careful with your posting.

To bad we'll never know if it was a forum glitch, or them just being @$$3$.

Not a forum glitch.

Edit: Actually there's either a forum glitch or FireFox glitch on my PC since after making any post here at THG I get a blank screen.

God, horrific C code:

//Header files:
#include<iostream.h>

//MainProcedure
void main()
{
cout << "Buy the HD 4770 or the 8800GT"<< endl;
cout << "I will also triple post" << endl;
} //End MainProcedure

There, proper C code. Nice to see a sense of humor though

Yes. There is a glitch.

Solution: DO NOT hit refresh. Hitting refresh will cause posting of it again. Click back and then hit refresh. If it's posted you will see it. If not try again.

Java any one?

Code :

import java.util.Scanner;
/**
* @author Shadow
*/
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO code application logic here
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Number of posts?" );
int howmany = in.nextInt();
for (int i = 0; i < howmany; i++) {
System.out.println("IM IN UR FORUMZ ON POST #" + i);
}
}
}

Code actually works btw.

8800GT beats the 4670.
However, there are better cards out there for a similar price that perform much better.
I'll try not to triple post .

I know I could have looped the code, but as you see, I only posted mine once. Besides, I wanted to show 'proper' syntax and spacing. Want me to start an ADA course next?

And for the record, always encapsulate in brackets, to avoid the "dangling else" case, and the for loop doesn't work as intended:

//Header files:
#include<iostream.h>

//Begin MainProcedure
void main()
{
cout << "Buy the HD 4770 or the 8800GT"<< endl;

//Begin ForLoop
for (int i = 0; i<3; i++)
{
cout << "I have posted " << i+1 << " times." << endl;
} //End ForLoop
} //End MainProcedure

And no, I have no idea how we got here, but FYI: 8800GT > 4670.

The 4670 is really for those who need small size/low power consumption/low heat out of their video card. The 4600 is not ATI's performance series. It's a great card, no doubt, but not because it's a power-house.

It makes a fantastic option for HTPC setups:

Dude comments are for beginners (unless you are making a big big program)
Adding spaces makes it presentable but whats the need for it in such a small piece of coding??????HUH?

Anyone who doesn't properly comment shouldn't be allowed to code. Trust me, the first time you need to convert a BASIC program on a BASIC fork, you'll appriciate comments that tell you WTF the program is doing.
