4850 to 5850 - worth it?

[TonyM19]

Looking at the 1Gb 5850 at £125 delivered. I have a 512Mb 4850 with a Q6600 (at stock - I know ), 4Gb RAM and a Neovo 22in monitor that has a max resolution of 1680 x 1050. Is this a worthwhile upgrade? I'd like to give Metro 2033 a go.

Yes worthwhile upgrade, don't hang about as the price goes up to £150 at end of trading tomorrow.

I made the jump as well from my 9800GTX+ (around same speed as 4850) going for that 5850. This should tie my over for the next two years~, so my next upgrade would be to a 2nd/3rd gen 28nm GPU card. It's now or never, as today is the last day that it will be on £125...price will be back to to £150 from tomorrow (25th). Go for it if you got the money!
