AMD 4850 is a better buy and is cheaper if you can't find the GTX for cheaper than $220. Some people have got the 4850 for $150.

Yes youll notice a difference, especially if you OC it. Those 9800GTX cores go hiiiiiigh.

$220 + your card for a used 9800GTX? Some friend, smack him in the face for me please.

Asus HD 4850 $150 after rebates FASTER than 9800GTX

Plenty of 9800GTX at newegg also for under $220 shipped Brand New and you get to keep your card and sell it for around $70.

But the HD 4850 is the best buy and it's faster than the 9800GTX.

Agreed. Do NOT give him your card + $220. He is ripping you off. You could purchase a NEW 9800GTX for that much.
