I want the help in the selection of the graphic card for my computer system and i think you people will do it for me as soon as possible.

You are confused between the BFG 8800GTS OC and the Sapphire HD 4850 graphic cards which you have selected for attaching to your computer system. By going through your choices , now i am also confused to buy anyone of this if i would have been on your place. Seriously both this graphic cards are awesome performance. It is very difficult to choose anyone from these two. I think pick up anyone of these which you liked the most or which is less costlier that the other one. this will save some money of yours.

I think you should go for the BFG NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS OC graphic card because it has the many feature that you will not get in the other graphic cards and the second and the most important point is that this is the product of the NVIDIA which is well known brand for the graphic cards. I am also using the graphic card of the NVIDIA and it is delivering the very good performance. Whether it may be for the general purpose or for the hardcore gaming.

According to my thinking you should go for the Sapphire HD 4850 graphic card because this graphic card has some advantage over the BFG NVIDIA 8800GTS OC graphic card. This has the Microsoft 10.1 DirectX support as compare to the DirectX 10 in the another graphic card. The Sapphire HD 4850 graphic card has the Upscale Beyond 1080p, On-chip HDCP, HDMI features which are not present in the BFG NVIDIA 8800GTS OC graphic card. So it is better to buy the Sapphire HD 4850 graphic card over the BFG NVIDIA 8800GTS OC graphic card.
