Raedeon 4650/70 or 4850?

[Mr.Nick]

Hi

I don't know whether to go for this 4850 or a 4650/70. The reason is because I am trying to make my basket total slightly less and I don't know what the performance difference would be like between them, but I am still quite happy to buy the 4850 nomatter. I am opting for the 4850 because of future proofing and there are reviews for only one of the 4600's so I would rather have the 4850.

Well, a 4850 is a lot more powerful than a 4670 and also has a 256bit bus compared to the 4670's 128 bit bus. There is supposed to be a new 4830 coming out soon that will sit in between the two in price and performance.

Ok, thanks

Just looked at a few reviews between them on YouTube and the 4850 outperformed the 4670 massively (Crysis on low, med, high) and a few other games.

Yep 4850's a lot faster than the 4850, and quite a bit faster than the 4670, thats only inbetween the old 3850/3870, so 4850 all the way.
