I just won a 4850 on ebay

That seems a little high that would be about $130 USD but I got mine for $99 USD and now you can get them a little cheaper over here. What brand did you get. I hope it works out for you considering you already get better FPS in Crysis then I do lol. Look at the 4850 in my sig I over clocked it to the max and still get idle temps of 42C and load temps no higher then 60C after 3hours of gaming. My idle temps actually went down it was idling around 44C go figure lol.
 
It's an Asus and its the 1gb version.
Things like video cards are more expensive in Aus. because they are manufactured overseas (eg. USA and China) and have to imported into Aus.
some things are cheaper too.

Asus is a pretty good brand. The 1GB Asus 4850 is only $120 USD on newegg you payed $130USD but with shipping on newegg it would be bout the same. You going to sale your 3870 or keep it as a back up.
 
I'm going to sell my 3870 when my 4850 arrives. I'll post it up here on the for sale section and if it doesn't sell it's off to ebay.
I'll put a notice up in the for sale thread now if anyone wants to reserve it. so post there not here.
 
Hmm... i said i won the 1gb version, but they are out of stock. They refunded me $25 and are sending me the 512mb version. Oh well, i don't play at resolutions that require 1gb of vram anyway.
 
You can pick up 1GB vers by HIS and Powercolor locally at MSY :D their going for $140 you can pick up a 4870 for $169 too.

Same here I was running mine at 1360x1024 for a little while but I was getting mad because there is no good wallpapers in that size. It really makes me mad my TV is 1080P but my computer will only let me go to 1360x1024. I don't have a problem getting HD on my xbox or blu-ray.
 
They still haven't posted it yet... haven't answered my recent messages yet. if they don't post it tomorrow or monday i'm going to start getting mad.
