radeon 4850 is dirt cheap now it almost hit €80-90 here for 4870 that is €105-120 512mb version. 4870 1gb costs €130 - 140. 4890 xfx black edition with 1ghz gpu and 4ghz memory is €168-180 right now here. So these cards are basicly sold for very nice dumping prices. for those who require a graphic update i would recommand to get one right now. for those who want to build an entire new system just wait till october when lynnfield forces price cuts and the dx11 cards

im planning to build a new computer with a 4850, it is about the same performance like the 9800GTX+ or gts 250 but the 4850 is much cheaper for me ^^

1 4850 wont run most games at higher settings on that large a monitor. theyll run good at about medium settings........except for maybe cod4/5 or left 4 dead. for that big monitor get atleast a 4870 1gb or gtx 260 core 216
