Default Should i replace the 8800gt with hd4850
I have 8800gt 512mb but i'm not satisfied from the card generally. I play Silkroad, Flatout and Grid and the card not doing well, games are with low fps 35-40. /1680x1050/.

I read a lot for other video cards and hd4850 sounds nice. Its rival to 9800gtx. I want advice-change the gt with that hd4850 or not?

I'd get the 4850. I've heard that it is a monster when AA is enabled and performs quite nicely on 1680x1050.

why not SLI 8800gt's? they will generally outperform the 4850.
