as for By-Tor 's question. Personally I don't believe in dual gpu's solutions. Wether they are SLI, CF, X2 or GX2, they just don't show consistent results from one game to the other. I've also seen some benchmarks that show the 4850 defeat the 3870x2 (again, results depend on the game).
Still, jumping from 3870x2 to 4850 doesn't seem like a REALLY significant change. Personnally I upgraded from a geforce 8600gt so I REALLY felt it.
In your case I'd go for 4870.
I bought a 4870 last night from a forum member, but want the 4850 to crossfire with it... Unless I find another good deal on a second 4870...

I've been wondering.
Recently a bunch of articles have been going around about cpu bottlenecking current gpus. Is there any chance my current athlon x2 is greatly limiting the performance of my 4850 as it is? Should I try overclocking further in order to get a more balanced system? maybe switching to a phenom? I'm also worried about the pci-x slot since it's only 1.1 and I realize it may algo cripple performance.

I also think this thread would be useful to anyone who wants opinions prior to buying this card which, again, would be a very vise choice
Sorry for the late response.

I'm sport'n two Diamond 4850's in CF
#1 OC'd at a pathetic 660/1050
#2 OC'd at a even more pathetic 645/1040

My fav. also...Has been since before I first seen them in Concert in Toronto 1977 Farewell to Kings tour... I still have that t-shirt packed away.

Not sure why there is no 4870 club floating around here...

Add me -
Sapphire HD4850 with Accelero S1




Heres my overclock -

I can go up to 720mhz on the core (mem is at its limit) but I don't see the point running another program just to get 20mhz extra. CCC does its job well enough. I also use CCC to underclock the card to 250mhz on the core and 600mhz on the memory when in 2dmode. This should save me some power and makes it idle even cooler.

Well, I'm sure this clubs can help better organize the ATi's thread, since I keep seeing a lot of questions that have already been answered out there.
I've also wondered why there is no club for the 4870, but since I don't have one I don't feel I have the right to start one

Member list updated again BTW
