Upgraded from 3870 to 4850. Worth it?

Yes because the 4850 is the 8800GT/GTS's enemy and the 3870 doesnt even come close to them.04dcarraher

yes, this is what roumors told, but now the 8800GT/GTS "doesn't even come close to" it either.

I currently have a 3870 would it worth it If i sell my card now(i can propbably make 120 or so) and upgrade to the 4870?

WOW of course its worth it for 30$ the 4850 is better then the 9800 gtx the 3870 doesnt come close to this card. and the 4870 is defintly worth it it gives u on par or better performance the the the gtx 260 and even beats out the gtx 280. its an amasing card for the price and well worth the upgrade from a 3870.

This seems to be the commn misconception here for most people.. te HD 4850blows ANY 8800GT/GTS COMPLETELY out of the water.. People need to stop asking which to get, the 8800GT is just plain bad compared to the 4850..

by this post I just wanna clearify that by "it" I mean the HD4850...

There are a whole bunch of reviews show the HD4850 out-take the 9800GTX/GTX+ and sometimes it barks rigth up the tree of GTX260, this is surely a underestimated card, yes i runs very hot but no-one complained about the 8800GT that run's just as hot.

So to set the record strait the HD4850 is not the competitor to the 88ooGT/GTS, the competitor is the 9800GTX+!

A better competitor to the HD4850 would be a 9800GTX++. ;)
