I game at 1680x1050

asus p5n-e
4gb corsair twinx
xp pro
8800gts 320mb

Yeh I thought so

Phone Overclockers up and explain why you want to cancel the order for the 4850 and order the 4870, l.m sure they will accommodate you. Saying that the 4850 is a cracking card for the price which l run myself.

Personally I would have gone 4870 but the 4850 should be fine

gareth170 · 25 Sep 2008 at 11:59

the 4850 is fine at that res. it'll run smooth... u will be happy with it.

The Asgard · 25 Sep 2008 at 12:44

I would have paid the difference. Try to change the order.

You should be able to change the order. You might also want to think about overclocking your CPU a little more as that should make a noticeable difference.

The 4870 won't heat up your case like the 4850

TheBrooder · 25 Sep 2008 at 14:22

I phoned them and was in the queue for 10 mins and thought **** it, I'll keep the 4850

richyb_safc · 25 Sep 2008 at 14:24

your welcome...

A 4850 will be plenty, you can always add another one at a later date.

The 4870's seem to be going up in price.

Yeh that's what stopped me buying one, after seeing them go for £170 and even less I couldn't bring myself to do it.
