$229, not bad. might look out for this or stick with the 8800GT i'm currently looking at for my next build.

And here is a new review for 9800GTX+
http://www.legitreviews.com/article/731/6/

The 9800GTX+ outperformed HD4850 in 5 out of the 7 games tested

Doesn't matter, the 4870 will most likely blaze the 9800GTX.

Oh Man, I hate this... nVidia and ATI, if you're reading this!

STOP MAKING CARDS! DEVELOP NEW TECHNOLOGY AND THEN MAKE THEM! Gawd.

Here I was thinking that Maroon was a bit behind on the times, seeing as how the 9800GTX is already out.

That was before seeing the "+" though.

Such an easy thing to miss, and it barely adds to the E-penis rating! Absolutely useless I tell you.

You can take it in many different ways, but the rate Nvid. has been shuffling out same ol' same ol', maybe Nvid. has gotten complacent. Nvidiots, all our money goes to ATI now.

looks the same as the 9800GT

To be honest, i would still get the ATI (cause of crossfire reasons), if you going single card, then this is better

Here's the answer for the 4870

^^ We already new that, this is about the 4850 vs 9800GTX+.

Here's the answer for the 4870

Yes, and the GT-280 is also twice the price of the 4870

Its like saying, ill Get a BMW M3, but the Porsche 911 Turbo is better.

Its twice the price. and sont say its not like that, cause its exactly like that (just on a larger scale)

And On topic

4850:
Pros
Cheaper
Great performance
Crossfire option (you keep intel board)
Less power draw

Cons
Single slot (hot air stays in case)
little less performance (5 - 10 frame loss at high res (at around 1920x1200))


GTX9800+
Pros
Dual Slot (cooler, and the hot air goes out the case)
better performance (5 - 10 frame gain at high res (at around 1920x1200))

Cons
$30 more expensive
SLI (you cant keep the intel board)
More power draw
