Hardware Radeon 4850 out

[Westside]

For only $200 you will get a video card that will almost stand side by side with the $650 GTX280

Thanks for the tip! I'm looking to build a whole new PC here soon, and I've added that to my newegg wishlist.

ATI is back! http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/17/amds-ci...es-you-ll-play/ The higher end RV770 chips (4870 and 4870x2) will own Nvidia this series

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!! NOW I DONT HAVE ANYTHING TO JUSTIFY MY PURCAHSE OF 8800GTS 512!!!!

Should I Ebay it for $150?

EDIT: But with Nvidia I get PhysX........

And that card isn't really all that more powerful and it has heating issues. Yay?

 

[Joe88]

PhysX isnt all that its hyped up to be

if you followed the original single card is did nothing for almost everygame
in ut3 I think it managed to get an extra 1 FPS

If you have 8800GT, then the new Radeon is not worth it unless you are an enthusiast. Wait it out until at least HD 5870.

 

[coolbho3000]

I think if I OC my card it'll match the 4850.

200 million transistors BAH

I need a bigger screen... 22'' @ 1680x1050... that card is overkilling at that resolution. Even my 8800 gt is screaming for more! why are the 24'' so expensive ? Anyone made the jump? plz post comment.

im still on my 17" CRT...

I also have a 22" LCD made by samsung, and I REALLY wanted the 1080 resolution... my GPU is also hungry for TRUE HD.
