From those reviews I'd still chose a 4850? It beats it in things I care about, although the 9800GTX+ does a good bit better in 3Dmark/light thing etc.. I'm going to be making the jump very shortly too so I have to chose between 9800gtx/4850.
Every time I make my mind up I read something that favours the other!

welcome to my world!!! and I've now noticed that i have only 280mm room in my case for the 275mm card. :s oooerr. decisions decisions. although this is now just making me tell myself that a new case would be a good idea! nooo. budget budget budget.
how long is the 4850, i cant find its size anywhere..

It's smaller than the 9800gtx so if you can fit 275mm then you've got np.
From those two I'd chose the 9800, simply because the cooling looks better. I've seen a Gainward 4850 for £132 on the net with the bigger cooler which is my choice, that's what I'm stuck between, OC's dark knight 9800 and that.
that's why i'd pick the gtx, because of the stock cooling, looks nice and quiet
in performance terms i posted that because it shows how equal they are
'the way it's meant to be played' games will excel with nvidia, and HL type games will excel with ati
they're both great performers for the £££

It's just an overclocked version by the looks of things, you'll get those clocks from the cheaper one easy.
im a bit scared to ask this question.
I ended up buying the dark knight 9800gtx+.
in this week only I've seen this..

have I made a fairly unlucky choice or would there not be much of a difference anyway?

You still have an equal card tbh, If I do buy this week though I'll be buying that 4850, I'm still in two minds for now.
