It's on 65 nm. GT200b will be on 55 nm.
ok but first what kind of motherboard should i look for all i know is I have a 4870 ati card.nick15578
A P43 or P45 motherboard if you don't plan on having a 2nd video card, otherwise an X38 or X48. Asus or Gigabyte brands preferrably.
Other components you need (my suggestions):
CPU: Intel E8400
CPU cooler: Artic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro LGA 775
Case: Antec 300
Power supply: Corsair 550W or more
Memory: 2 x 2 GB ddr2 800 Mhz
Hard disk: Western Digital 640 GB sata 2
Optical Drive: LG sata DVD burner black color
2-3 additional 120 mm fans
Does the Asus HD4850 come with Crysis?Chris_53
No.
Btw I found a Gainward HD4850 for £94.99.
OMG

Would this be a good choice?

The Asus HD4850 is only £7 more and is faster than the 8800GTX, including Crysis.
Easy choice. The HD4850's price is lower than 200$. The Sapphire is 150$ after a 30$ MIR.
The 9800GTX is pricier than the HD4850.
And the HD4850 is faster than the 9800GTX.

Power supply is overkill. Get a Corsair power supply, they're better. Like 550W or more if you wish.
If you live in the US, buy the Asus HD4870 from newegg for 285$ - 30$ MIR = 255$ + 3 year warranty vs 1 year with Diamond.
