Default 8800GT's died, need new card?
My 8800GT's died and I need a new video card. I was thinking about a 4890 of 5850. I want a single card. I do not want to spend more than $300. I play Far Cry 2, Wolfenstein, Crysis, and other games. I love having all the eye candy possible. What do you guys think?

I thought Tweakboy had been banned? Well, his post seems pretty rational, so I guess as long as that keeps up I don't mind.

$300? I'd say a 5850. Performance right on the heels of the 5870, DX11, and all for the attractive price of $290.

If you can find a 5850, go for it.

Doesnt EVGA have a lifttime warranty? Even a double lifttime warranty or just a single?
