Yes.
A big difference.

So you don't NEED more performance anyway. Wait for a game that'll push the graphics barrier.
If you have anything higher then a 3870 the upgrade isn't really worth it. Unless you are some kinda freak who wants 5-10 more FPS when most games run 50-60fps already.. One or two games should not make you want to upgrade.. Your 8800GT has PLENTY of life left. I'd wait unless you can sell it.
Anyone with a HD 3870, 9600GT, or a 8800GT should not seek out upgrades yet.. as it just aint worth it.. I'd wait for 6-12 months before a new card will really be any difference.
With only a handful of crap-tastic games that can even push these cards to the limit its just not worth it.
IF yuo got a enough strong powersuply go for 8800GT SLI IT much better then a Single HD4850
If not want to consume over 700 WATS : then go for the HD4850 Sli & Tri sli are much better then acuatl crossfire & Tri fire & quad fire Option Quad fire = only X2 Like 3870X2 it a Weak Rival to Gx2 That as no power =)

his motherboard isn't quite SLi capable so he'd need a new motherboard and probably PSU too. Another 8800GT for SLi was a first thing that came in mind when i was reading his post
You don't need more performance. A 8800GT can run Crysis on High. Even if a 4870 was twice as good, no game needs that much power.Angry_Bosmer
Yes, but for the long run, it will be good.
id reccomend a 4850 for now if you have a budget. if you want to go even better get two 4850s for around 400, great deal.

But you can still buy it later, maybe a better card will come out.
In case you didnt notice just like many other posters,the TC has a 24" monitor and ya it's worth it.If you have anything higher then a 3870 the upgrade isn't really worth it.
