tell me how this card is HD 4830. I wanted a card that can compete with a 9800 GT and I think this is it, but if I have a nVidia motherboard should I get the 9800 GT?

Technacal Details:

PCI-Express x16 bus interface
256-bit DDR3 memory interface
Microsoft DirectX 10.1 support
OpenGL 2.0 support
Unified Superscalar Shader Architecture

There's no problem to have an ATI card with a Nvidia motherboard.

Why don't you get a 4850 or 9800GTX? On newegg, they're around $150.

On ebay, they go for around $100

A 9800GT costs $130, and has a crappy-ass cooler.

A HD 4830 costs $100, and has a great cooler.

A HD 4830 is identical to the 9800GT in terms of performance.

BOTTOM LINE:

Get the HD 4830.

As the above poster says, there's little to distinguish the two in terms of performance. I've always stuck with Nvidia because of the guaranteed standard of drivers, but I don't think that;s really an issue any more. I suppose that with the 9800, you'll be able to SLI on your motherboard if you ever feel the need. If you can find the Palit /Galaxy 9800gt/8800gt, it comes with a superior cooler and will probably cost around the same as the 4830.

Maybe because he has only ONE PCI-e x16 slot?

HD4830 is not bad. It is not identical in performance the 9800GT things never are when comparing two cards.

It is somewhere in the 9600GT 8800GT to 9800GT performance depending on the game settings and AA.
