ati 4850hd a good card for gaming?

Is the ati 4850 a good card for running games such as cod4, cod 5, and maybe cod6(MW2) and other games such as fallout 3, oblivion etc? maybe crysis at med settings?

Heck yea, definitely, I got one a few months back and it runs Crysis on mostly high at 1680*1050 with a good 25-45 FPS. It's a great card, though there might be better out now for the same price, i haven't been looking at hardware much lately.

Its a great card, or you could go for the 4770. Its as good as the 4850, runs cooler, quieter and doesnt draw and more power so it could be run off a smaller PSU. And its cheaper and a great overclocker.

i cant really buy a card online since im only 16, my options are futureshop lol

yeah and it's good value for money too

Its a great card, the performance is simular to a 9800GTX+, which i own and is getting along nicely.

If you can afford the extra I would recommend a 1GB 4870 for gaming at 1680x1050 or moreKFC1000

fixed.

hmm, the 1gb one is web only, i think ill get the 4770 as that will save me a lot of cash and i dont need res higher than 1280x1024
