Thanks TMan..
I'm torn between ATI and Nvidea...
Been using ATI for the last 2-3 years Nvidea before that..
ATI has DX 10.1 support Nvidea does not and in some benchies it really matters..:whistle:

For around $250, there isn't much you can get. Look into the 5850 and 5870 if you can spend a bit more than $250As for the ATI 4870 and GTX275, the performance difference between the two is not worth paying up to $200.

Oh, and overclock your Core i7!

You already have a 4850 why not crossfire? Also if you are going to upgrade a 4850 then get a 5800 card or don't bother because the performance boost will not be worth it.

If you want to stay with ATI than I would say you really need to go to a 5800 card like Belgolas says. Otherwise the GTX275 will not disappoint for a performance boost.

Ok Thanks guys I think I'll go Crossfire..like Belgolas suggested..:thumb:
I can probably pickup another 4850 used for less than $100..
That would be the best bang for the buck I think..:bananafunky:
