|  4830 to 4850
Is there a big difference between the radeon 4830 and radeon 4850? Im not sure which one to go with. The original one I was going to get is the 4830 but now I see the 4850 is $50-60 more. So is it a big difference? |

They're dropping the prices on the 4850, wait a bit and it will be cheaper.

But it will drop in price very soon.. why not hold off on it?
Also the HD 4830 is going to be discontinued very soon | |

There's a significant difference between the two...you're better off with the 4850. Don't bother with any 9800GTX/GTS 250 bs

Depends on your resolution. If you play at higher resolutions, the 1gb will be better. What's your monitor size?
