How much faster?

[ginge51]

Hi all

I'm thinking on getting the hd 4850 512 mb card.
I currently have a 7950 gt ko 512 mb card and wondering if the performance gain is worth the purchase?
And how much faster is the hd 4870 compared to the 4850?

Thanks

Performance increase will be absolutely huge, and the 4870 is about 30% faster than the 4850.

A 4850 that is but what is the best make to get the asus, sapphire or powercolour version?

Doesn't really make a difference, one of them comes with a free screwdriver though
