IS there any good reviews comparing 4850x2 2GB vs 1GB versions? Ordered mine and just came to know that it was a 1gb version.

PS: I game at 1920x1200 resolution.

Sorry to hear that, Shroom. Hopefully you won't get laid off. Was worried about that same things the months of march, april and may. My place is down to bare minimum so I think I'm safe.

I've never seen a review pitting both versions against each other but here are some reviews of both.

4850 X2 1GB (the only 1GB review I know of)

4850 X2 2GB

Question: is your current 4850 a 512mb and are you planning on going tri-fire?

I don't have any personal experience with the 1GB model. Shroomalistic has the 1 GB model and I believe he pulled out the same gpu score as my 2GB model in 3dmark2006 and Vantage. But those are only examples of low res 1280 x 1024.

Yes, adding another 4850, even at 512mb one, and running tri-fire will improve your performance 30-50% over the 4850 X2.
