Not sure if I mentioned this, but the card I'm looking at is
http://www.compusa.com/applications/...IN#detailspecs

And I have 10 inches of space, possibly more if I can remove or move the cage the hard drive is in.
Think I'd be able to fit it in there?

It does look nice, but I don't see anywhere on the page where it mentions how many Watts my power supply has to be.
Would I be good with a 500W PSU?

Definately. The GTX 260 Core 216 is rated to run on 500W exactly, so the 4850 will no doubtfully be fine.

I just got the new card (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814121272) today, and after hooking it up and installing drivers I go to set my desktop to the resolution I've used in the past, 1680x1050.

However, if I set the resolution to anything above 1600x1200, it's as if it zooms in on my desktop. In order to see the corner of the desktop I have to move my mouse to that corner and it moves over to it. Think of it as like in The Sims or Rollercoaster Tycoon when you want to move the camera.

I know my card supports it since it's advertised as supporting 2560 x 1600 as its max resolution.
Is there anyway to fix it?

GPU has max 2560X1600 but your monitor need to be able to do resolution. If you have a 22" LCD, it does 1680X1050 and 24" does 1680X1200 etc.

I have a 22" monitor, and my past few cards have all supported 1680x1050

You should go to the For Sale section and get a 8800 GS from Nitteo. They are unregistered so you can still get the warranty for them. They are good deal and extremely well priced.

I already have a new card that fits.
I bumped this thread because I'm having a problem with said card.
