is this card pretty decent?

[rasczak]

mild gaming at most. nothing too intensive, like Crysis or anything of that sort. I usually play counterstrike or TF2, some COD4.

or would i be better off with this 3870?

Plus I have dual dell 20 inch widescreen monitors to support.

thanks!

If you're going to get the 9800GT, just spend the extra $15 for the 4850.

Precisely.

4830 is faster than 9800 gt and cheaper. I recommended this very card to a friend yesterday.

No, it's not faster. They're quite equal. 4850 is faster then 9800 GT.

 

[TidusZ]

yea, fairly equal.

 

[OCNewbie]

4830's OC quite well usually, and when both are OC'd the 4830 sometimes beats the 9800GT by quite a bit, like ~20%

Get the HD4830 over the 3870 (at the same price). I just ordered the very same HD4830 linked to above and plan on overclocking it to HD4850 speeds. A good deal for $99 ($89 after rebate).

Save an additional $5 off on that Sapphire 4830 with this promo code "EMCABBEAK"

Best deal around right now... especially for $85 AR! Thanks for the code, OCNewbie!
