Personally I'd cough up the extra for the cheapest 4850 I could find.

Agree with this guy.

I'm not just saying 4850 cause I have them but seriously 4850. Here's a little story, I was playing around lastnight and turned off crossfire. Forgot to re-enable it this morning and was playing COD4 maxed out. I have v-synch enabled and at times got a little stutter. Thought maybe the map or ping. Guess what I play at 2048 x 1536, so not bad for a single card eh! LoL

Another vote for the 4850, its faster than the 8800 GT, even more so when AA's applied.

 

[Charlatan]

Seconded, went from a Zotac 8800GT, and it was like night and day

4850 although you probably know that already by now.

So, i would notice a very big difference if i went from my 8600 512mb to:

512MB Asus HD 4850

Very yes - the 3850 was anything up to about 2.5x faster than the 8600 GT, the 4850 is around twice as fast as the 3850 so I'd imagine it'd be a pretty significant upgrade.
