ati radeon 4850 or PALIT 1GB GeF GT 240 GDDR5 PCI-E 2.0 HDMI?
is there any better i can buy for a price mayby under 80 quid?
ll be using it with a 350watt psu on a 17 inch screen

also what do you look for when you are buying a graphics card, the stream processing units or the type of memory or the amount of memory?

thanks in advance
 
At that sized screen I'd say you would be ok with either, personally I would go for the 4850, but thats because I've had 2 4870's and they performed very well.
When looking for my next card I ignore the specs and just look for benchmark comparisons in the games or type of games I want to play. Also a bit of time looking at these forums will give you some excellent advice.

For that resolution, you can't go wrong with a 4850 512MB at that price.

But it is the 350W PSU that worries me, especially if it is some generic one...
