At a Dilemma

Hmmmm....


Which should I get?

A Nvidia 9600 GT priced around RM550






or



An ATI/AMD Radeon HD4850 priced around RM650






Performance difference is 50% and price difference is 18%, while power consumption for the card is increased to 98%.


But, when calculating the 500W power supply needed to power the HD4850, is RM260



So, overall price difference is 65% for an upgrade.


Factor in that I will change my processor,motherboard in 2 years time, a new PSU is a must.


So for performance that is 50% better, price increase is 65% (actual)


I think that I'll just wait and see. I guess that Nvidia will slash their prices soon.
