Which 4850?

[wez130]

So i was intent on buying a 9800GT as i've always gone Geforce route but now i know the 4850 is a better card, however, i haven't a clue what to go for, for the record, i was ready to buy the Gainward 9800GT Golden sample (1024mhz GDDR3) for £99.99 +vat.

So, for around that price, give or take maybe a tenner, which 4850 should i go for?

Thanks

buy this one cheapest one i guess

and if u have bit more cash buy this one as it take hot air away from the case and your card is cooler

i was looking at the Asus one too, would there be much difference in the 512mb version and the 1024mb version of the 4850?

What res do you play at?

Been sizing up a new monitor (20", also at 1650x1050) & I'm wondering if it might also be time to up my gfx card to cope with it. I currently have an ATi 1950X 512MB with a 17" monitor at 1280x1024. If I do end up buying the 20" widescreen should I also go for a better gfx card? I was also thinking about the 4850 as it looks to be about the best bang for buck card around at the moment.

I have a 22", 4850 512MB is perfect for 1680x1050
