Playing GTA IV

by the way, how about the GTS 250 ,how is that compared to 4770???and its cheaper than 4770 too

I know how it is Punkid. You can't imagine the premium at which we have to get hold of stuff back here.

@ klepto : Hey, don't apologise. I didn't take it badly. I know what you were talking about.
BTW, If the 4770 and 4850 cost approximately the same, which would you bet on? And the 4770 is pretty hard to get I hear.

i would still go with the 4850 over the 4770 but they trade blows back and forth as does the gts 250 there all around the same but the 4850 and gts 250 will use alot more power than the 4770.

The GTS 250 would be slightly faster IMO. However, when OCd the 4770 is much better. And yes, as klepto mentions, the 4770 uses much less power as it has a 40nm chip.

does the 4770 require a 6pin pci power connecter?

No it doesn't.

great :d cuz my psu doesnt have that connecter...hehe thanks for the info guys...

So you going for it sometime soon? How much do you get it for there?

i live in pakistan,currency is ruppee ....1 USD = 82 Pakistani Ruppee

here is an online shop here in pakistan...these are prices of XFX cards

Pretty much the same story here. Converting to USD I see that we both need to shell out close to 60-70$ as premium.

no :|....the gts 250 costs 146 USD and 4770 costs 158 USD u did the calculations wrong

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=HD4770&x=0&y=0

Now, did I. I don't think so. There are models of the HD4870 that cost that much.

well as i said,things are expensive here....95 dollar caviar black cost me 125 dollars

Umm...I think that's what I was saying. In case of the 4770 GPU its about 50$ more than the price in the US. The actual price is about $110. You're having to shell out $160. That's a 50$ premium.

oh yea i didnt get you ..u are right....how much do you think the price wud drop once dx11 cards become available?

That's a tough call. The DX11 cards will be available sometime in November I presume. It's difficult to judge how the market trend will be. At their current supposed pricing, the HD 5000s will be quite a bit more expensive than cards like the 4870. About 150$ more. So for all you know, ATI might not even slash prices and just keep the 5000s for the enthusiast willing / able to spend that kind of money. The 4870 will still be a great card at it's current price.

aight thanks

i say grab the 4770 over all the other cards for the lower power consumption and the fact that it is as fast as the 4850 and gts 250 the 4850 usually is faster in almost all tests over the gts 250 which is basically a 9800 gtx+ just re branded as the 250.

hmm ok, the price difference isnt much between the three but i think lower power consumption is an attraction for me cuz i dont want to spend on a new Power supply....by the way, do u guys think my CPU is also limiting gaming performance?
