the 4850 is better cuz im using 4650 and its not mch..it runs games smoothlybut not that great.i can play assassins creed2,bad cmpny2,COD series,blur at full settings but as for split second only at high and not very high,mafia 2 plays pretty well just have 2 off aa thats all.i guess 4850 uses more power so better performance.4650 is a power saver thats all.

the 4850 has 800 unified shaders, whereas the 4650 has only 320......so the 4850 is going to be over twice as powerful for every game you play. i sued to have one and at the res of 1680x1050 it felt like a high end card! Batman: AA, dead space, Crysis, supcom all ran like a dream.

Not only that, the HD4850 using higher clocks, many HD4650 use DDR2 witch is really bad.
