[djdarkforces]

im having a problem deciding between the 2 the 4850x2 2gig vers is more powerfull but has dual gpu's so will it cause more head work than its worth but the 4890 is just a single gpu which is quite simply plug and play any comment are needed to help me make my mind up thanks

I would go for one 4890 now and when the prices drop sometime in the future I'd then grab another 4890

Have a look at some of the charts in this review...

A single 4890 is not too far behind a 4850X2 but the 4890 has a much lower power draw. Check the other pages for more games they tested.
