Which is better? - Strika - 02-02-2009
Thought id ask the community opinions ;p
Sapphire HD 3650 512MB or XFX 9800GTX+ Black Edition 512MB
Im planning on buying one of them in the future, but for myself 9800gtx is more fancy for me, but i think 3650 can even be better and cheaper.

The 9800GTX is better.
If you want a card similar in power to the 9800gtx but cheaper I'd recommend a 4850.

nVidia GeForce 295GTX 1792MB DDR3 , the newest card from NVIDIA is now the
strongest card in the market , better then the HD4870X2 .
Wait for some time and it will be cheaper .

Maddolis any explanation why 9800GTX+ is better? Because I dont really see a difference, only that the 9800GTX+ is on DDR3 memory, unlike 3650 is on DDR2.

Go with the 9800, trust me, you'll have less problems when it comes to today's games compared to ATI cards. That's not so say the ATI's are bad*, but if you want less stress, get the 9800.

Well, the last year Ati changed into the better player on the gpu market. The drivers of both Ati and nVidia perform well, and they are both doing fine now.

9800GTX, in terms of clock speed and memory the card has an advantage. As well, the 3650 was built to be more affordable, so compromises had to be made to its performance. While the 9800GTX was a flag ship card for nvidia, and thus will offer you much more performance for all the DX 9/10 games.

The 9800GTX is way better. The 3650 is the old mid end card of the 3xxx series and that is why it is only $50.
And wow do you guys get ripped off on the 9800GTX, its $170 Canadian here
