I cheked the 3dmark06 thread and i came to the conclusion that firstly it favors the nvidia cards and secondly it's much more dependent on the quad core processors.
@ Nomi: bro this card is out of stock as i bought the last one, Secondly i just noticed in your previous post u wrote my name as Baber Kamla instead of baber kamal :chair:
@Everyone: kindly comment on my 3dmark06 score and other benchmarks coz i can't judge whether they are good or not?

Everything that you mentioned is superb and i was pondering over making a setup very similar to yours...just forgot one thing which is to update your my system information here at PG.
temps are almost the same as b4 overclocking and i used the overdrive feature of catalyst, i directly puled the slidebars from 700 to 750 for the core and 900 to 950 for the memory and these were the maximum allowed in catalyst and didn't hav any problem in overclocking whatsoever, i'm sure it can go way ahead.
I also think that it's a down clocked HD4870, coz i overclocked this card upto the levels of 4870 and believe me it was too easy to overclock it upto that level. Didn't try going higher coz i overclocked it through catalyist overdrive and i maxed it out. And i think it has got the potential to go even higher than 4870.
u can chek my overcloced gpuz and 3dmark06 scores on 1st page.

yar what i've observed from 3dmark scores thread that nvidia is always ahead in this benchmark and processor is also a major factor in this benchmarks, what is needed is gaming benchmarks that will giv us a fair idea.
^Mave_3 has the GTS 250, His score with the Q8200 was around 16k i think... He has posted it on the 3D MARK 06 thread... Check that out.
Good choice there babar. Scores and frame are good.
