I mean.. unless you have to have Ultra/Max detail 8x/16x then there is no question. The 4870 512 doesn't benchmark that much better even at 19x12.

besides Crysis my 4850 runs everything maxed at 1680. i know a 4870 won't max Crysis at 1680 but it will do better for sure, and i think it would be worth it if you have the funds

Don't know about that. I've had to scale down some settings on GRiD and World in Conflict to get good performance. I'd imagine newer Dx10 games couldn't be maxed either at 1680 (with x8 AA settings anyway).

Well honestly i think my 8800GT overclocked to where it is, is comparable already to the 4850. I can already play most games at medium .. if not high settings, its just not as smooth as I wish it was. If im going to upgrade I want to make sure i can max everything out without a question, except for crysis of course.

Just out of curiosity, what games do you play that your 8800GT doesn't handle well enough?
