8800 GT 512 is 275 CND and HD 3850 512 is 220 CND.

Which would be a better buy??

The HD 3850 is mildly overclocked and core clock is 720MHZ with a 1.8~ GHZ memory. It has the cooling solution where it exhausts the air outside the case, 8800 GT doesn't.

The 8800 GT has effectively the stock cooling solution as well is just at stock clock rates.

The HD 3850 would run on my computer no problem, the 8800 GT would require me to go to someone's house to edit the BIOS to PCIE Gen 1 as I am running Dual-VSTA.
