4850 Crossfire comparable nvidia replacement

id get the GTX260-216 as they are almost as fast (or abit faster) as the gtx280 when overclocked. and for the price compared to a 280, you cant go wrong.
as said above, the gtx285's are out soon so could be worth waiting, although personally id buy now as they will probably be overpriced with little performance gain as usual.

XFX GTX 260 Black Edition gets my vote, as you don't need Xfire/Sli at that res when single cards can cut through it with ease.
No point waiting for the 285, as you can overclock a 280 with Rivatuner yourself, its pointless paying Nvidia to do it.

Both setups are overkill for 1680x1050, but the 4850 crossfire is defo faster.
