Grab whichever is cheaper

Both will max out source, and do extremely well in CoD4 and WoW

If you can keep the 4850 cool..you can get some pretty nice clock speeds out of them...they do much better than the 250's in SM3.0 and with AA and AF enabled in high res.

I own the 512mb version of the 250 and it runs cod5 maxed out at your res w/full aa 40-90 fps (depends on the map)

the 4850 is older and nvidia has better drivers and runs cooler

out of those two I would buy the Evga 250 on newegg

however imo i would actually buy the evga GTX 275 (which out performs both) for 50 dollars more on newegg
because if you overclock the 275 and bump up the fan you can can get GTX 285 speed out of it!

your choice

Stay away from Zotac!!!! i have had a bad experience w/them just buy evga save some hassle

free game and price < Quality and support

Good luck!
