Default 100 bucks to spend: what video card is for me?
I need to upgrade my 7600gt. I would really like to get a 4850 but i don't want to spend more than 100 bucks.

so whats my next best bet? 4830 or 4670?

Thanks

The extra $40 is worth it. Save your pennies man

i think the 4830 is better than a 9800gt, but a 4850 is better for how much more?

ya, i like the 9800gt but i keep reading how good the 4830 runs as its pretty much a 4850 with less shaders.

here's one article i found comparing the two

and for 89 bucks after MIR!!! thats good!

Well if you're going to buy a 4830, you might as well just buy a 4850 instead, in my opinion.
