Which is Better for Good colors for the game?

XFX 4850 or XFX GTS 250, which card will be better for gaming, a friend of mine need help abt it, the ram and coreclock is not his priority but the graphic colors and the look of the game like good colors crisp and appealing is, his priority? So wht u guys suggest which card is good in this case? which one he should buy?

4850 and GTS250 performs exactly the same. Get whatever is cheaper...

ATI 800 SP VS Nvidia 128SP is almost the same.

I make it easy to understand:
ATI card has 800SP.
Most of them are small and very less are big/powerful.

While all 128SP of Nvidia card are big and powerful.
So that equals the performance.

That's why those two perform the same.

It lower its clocks in order to save power while you surf/do nothing.

Don't go on the specs of the card anymore(leave all those technical terms aside,like core clock and all) .They will just confuse you.

The main thing is that both cards perform the same.


1gb vram is utilised at higher resolutions,above 16X10.
So get it only you game that high.Otherwise 512MB is good enough.


The 4850 is cheaper so go with that.

ok i also use rightnow 4830 but here even on tom i see ppl say tht 4850 got hotter is it true wht u say abt it

ok thx buddy ur help is really helpfull for me to understand the certain things specially tht stream process issue now i will tell my friend for both the cards its his choice now wht he want to buy one more thing which i want to clearify is dose the 4850 also behave in the same pattern like Gts 250 regarding this matter below

It lower its clocks in order to save power while you surf/do nothing?

dose same thing work in 4850?

ha ok thx buddy also tell me how can i chk it out i mean the GPU wht software i need to see either its running on the default core clock or at reduce speed? and if u can help me with a screen shot thts would be so awesome

right now i am only using the net and nothing why it wont show the lower GPU?
can u explain pls thts really weird

Another screenshot of my cards clocks.

It stays at max clock for sometime when you open GPU-Z.
It takes some time to lower itself.


Observe it again.Wait at least 15secs to change its clocks.

@shubham
i have question i hope u will clear it out, u said as in ur above mention post tht both the cards XFX GTS250/4850, work in the same way how come, cos wht i have seen the GTS250 default coreclock 738 Mhz and 4850 coreclock is 625Mhz, so if i want to run the game on 700mhz or more then i have to overclock the 4850 and on other hand GTS250 run at 738Mhz without any overclocking on so how the perfromance will be the same pls help me out make me understand this and the reason i asked cos i am not so much in over clocking thts why i hope u got my point wait for ur reply

Wow .. just wow.

Listen, the core clocks aren't what you need to worry about. There are things called benchmarks which test the actual power of the GPU. So what they're saying is this .. even though the clock speeds are slower, the card performs the same. There are other variables that come into play other than core clock and memory clock which determine the actual raw power of these cards. Like it was said above .. core clocks and such will confuse you. My 4850 ran at 800MHZ OC'ed and my new Radeon 5870 almost runs the same core speed. However the difference in power is like night and day. See what I mean?
