wrong. I have a 9800GTX+ 512MB and I play at 1920x1080. The 9800GTX+ is comparable to the 4850 and on my 9800 I can max out every game I play except GTA 4 and probably crysis (havent played it). OP, if you get the 1GB model of the 4850, you will be fine. If you can increase your budget, go ahead and buy a better card, but if not, the 4850 will work great.

No the 4850 is still considerably behind the 4870 unless you modify it for more voltage which brings extra heat out and believe me trying to get the extra performance like that is far from worth it
Raise your budget and purchase either a new or used 1GB card...1GB 4870's can be had on here for as low as 110$

Really? I would have assumed that a 9800GTX+ would struggle at that res.
Wait... how old are the games you play?

I had the 512 MB EVGA 9800 GTX+, and it was quite a powerful card. The only reason I upgraded is because of this question: "why not?"

I'm playing new games, like Borderlands, Red Faction Guerilla, CoD4 and WaW. Like I said, the only game that I have that I can't max out is GTA4 (don't have crysis). I don't always get 60fps, but i dont get super low fps at all. i think the lowest I usually dip to in the more graphically intensive parts, is probably around 35fps, which doesnt bother me too much. I'll probaby be upgrading around new years though, although, maybe I should wait until nvidias DX11s are on the market so I can see whats available.
