============================
Please help me choose between 8800GT 256 dd3 256bit or HD3870 512 dd4 256bit or 9600GT 512 ddr3, , both are virtually the same price at 7k. "8800GT" or "HD370" answers would be enough coz im not trying to get a debate here. I will tally the answers and take it from there. Remember, its about the best value for money. Lets try to see if unsa ang consensus diri sa ato forum. Thanks and peace out!

Edit: Added 9600GT, within 7k budget.

Both are worth what you pay for them, I think ATI scales better on dual card setups(future expansion)/currently better than SLI platform I think, for single card and my personal preference, Id go with the 8800GT.

8800GT 256mb version is kinda slow compared to its 512mb brother. for the 7k budget, either get the 3870 or perhaps a 9600GT 512mb over the 8800GT 256mb.

Tigomi na lang gamay brad hangtud maka abot ka sa Radeon 4850. Murag 9K ra man.
For sure dili gihapon ka ma kontento sa performance sa 8800GT 256 or 3870.

i agree.... 512MB 9600GT is a good card. i'm using it right now...

I'm very happy with my dual 3870. Very surprisingly It even has the same score with 9800gx2 in 3d mark 06.

Check the sm3.0 score.
Currently checking the 3d mark scores here in Istorya posted somewhere.
Very surprised that my sm3.0 score is higher than the 9800gx2 by just a small margin.

3870 512mb bro.. or 9600GT 512mb... kulang na 256mb karun... most especially kung naka LCD ka na 19" or more

[MJN24]

I also suggest HD 4850... gamay nalang add mo for a great additional performance..

[fish]

go for the 8800gt 512mb version... its faster than the 3870 and 9600GT but a bit slower than the 4850...

This is "if" you're telling us of 3870x2:

whaaat? geforce 8 series video cards are faster than hd 3870x2(note with the "X2")? you guys have gotta be kidding me. hd 3870x2 is waaaay faster than geforce8-9 series video cards.

This "IS" if you're telling us of hd 3870 only:

either of the two dude. pero i'd always go to ati radeon.

3870 512mb bro.. or 9600GT 512mb... kulang na 256mb karun... most especially kung naka LCD ka na 19" or more

oh noes. memory still a basis for a good video card? bigger LCD does NOT ANYMORE mean you need a bigger memory. unless if you're gaming with gigantic resolutions na. 256mb ddr is still fine up to this date.
