GPUZ has problems detecting crossfire in Vista.
"AMD's new 4850 just destroys its competition and just about everything else in this test. Not even the new GTX 260 which costs twice as much can touch this card in Bioshock. Performance here is simply incredible".
"While NVIDIA has been the reigning Call of Duty champion for quite some time, the 4850 really changes things up. The gap between the 9800 GTX and the 4850 gets smaller as resolution increases, but even at 2560x1600 the previously more expensive 9800 GTX loses out. "
"Take two 4850s, put them together and now you've got something even faster than NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 280 in most cases."
Awsome!

Last card was the 8800GTS 512mb sold for exactly what I paid for it!
will wait for 4870 but ATI has won this time I think!

I think OCUK will get my money when the 4870's are released... hopefully if they are maybe 180 then I will be a grabbing one 
The 50's are very nice price though

The GTX 280 is just too much money for what it is.
My hat goes off to AMD this time the card looks great and at a great price too.

Prices have already gone up. Expect around 210-230 I believe. Competitors have the card listed for more..

Aint the 4870's coming on Monday GDDR3 though.
After reading this, I have to say that 4850 is one heck of a card for that price. Wait for a few more weeks and it will even get cheaper!!! Can't wait for what 4870 can do to nVidia, I remember nVidia's CEO said before the launch of 200 series, "we're going to open a can of whoop ass", now with the stupid price tag of £400 nV asking for 280, looks like their arses are going to be whooped on both cheeks by some beefy 4870 in XFire
Even without reading 4870 reviews, I already know that it is a bloody bargain
nV just shot themselves in the arse by their pricing strategy and an utmost arrogant attitude.
