ATI 4800 Series on low res (1440x900)

[Computer_Freak]

Hey guys

Now im in the market for a new GPU and I am wanting a ATI 4800 series card



Now first this is I need to see if My PSU can handle them.

Then i need to know how to install a 4870 properly, (i dont wanna flash my bios)

THen, at that resolution 1440x900, what would you rather get?
I want the 4870, as its dual slot and better (single), but i have the chance of flashing the bios
Then i want the 4850, as its cheaper, performs the same in CF, but its si9ngle slot...

what would you do

I think for 1440x900, the 9600GT is more than enough

Why not get the 4850? You can get them for $165 after MIR now.

the 4850 beats two 9600gt's in sli, and its ensuring to have that much power.

Actually, one HD4850 can't beat two 9600GT

Moreover, 9600GT in SLI is not far behind 9800GX2
