4850 vs 8800 GT 512

I would love to actualy see the difference, and if the extra $150 is worth it.

Actually its more like 50$ mate. Thats the way I look at it. Sell your old 8800GT and upgrade. For 50 dollars no question. Now..if you were buying a card outright the answer might be different

$150 extra no way... You can get a 4850 with MIR for around $150!!!

Rite now i have 4850 in CF and my friend has GTX 260 OCed to 650Mhz and from all possible ways 4850 CF wins in all cases....

Compared to a single 4850 OCed @ 690Mhz the GTX260 @ 650Mhz the GTX 260 wins but the 8800GT is no where is sight!!!

The review on Anand shows it beating the 8800GT by 4-5FPS in some cases, and in others upwards of 30 (Bioshock). It would be a nice upgrade but it really depends on the type of games you like to play and the resolution you play them at.

$160 4850 newegg
$130 8800GT newegg

Ah, thanks!
Actualy, I live in Japan, and about a week ago when I checked, there was only one 4850 brand for about $300. Now there are several brands, starting from about $220. So I'll go for the 4850! Now, I just have to find out which brand is best...
Thanks again!
