ATI 4850 - $154.99!!!!!!!!! Wow!
If anyone wants to supercharge their system on the cheap, this is the board! Can you believe that kind of power for $150?????

Problem is, this deal may be for today only, but it will come around again guaranteed. It's pretty easy to find this board for $179, but $154 is even better! -S |

I think this conclusion says it all on the 4850.
You know what the scary part is? You haven't even seen ATI's R700 yet - they are holding it back. NVidia is in for some bad times. The 4850's price tag should show them that the R700 is going to slaughter them! -S Quote:

I'm thinking of upgrading to a quad core soon, but this is a VERY good price. I've got an 8800GTS, its ok... but not the best. If this is as good as it looks, I think I'll be switching back to ATi instead of getting the GX2.:hmm:
Getting the Quad Core first though, as FSX and Falcon 4.0 are more CPU dependent than say Crysis which is just a graphics whore by comparison!

I've been with ATI since I switched from that old GeForce 2 MX400, I don't think I ever had any serious problem with their cards
