est PCIe Card For ~$260: Radeon HD 4850 X2 2 GB (Check Prices)

Good 1920x1200 performance, 2560x1600 in most titles with some lowered detail
Radeon HD 4850 X2 2 GB
Codename:    2 x RV770
Process:    55 nm
Universal Shaders:    1,600 (2 x 800)
Texture Units:    80 (2 x 40)
ROPs:    32 (2 x 16)
Memory Bus:    256-bit
Core Speed MHz:    625
Memory Speed MHz:    993 (1,986 effective)
DirectX/Shader Model:    DX 10.1/SM 4.1

The Radeon HD 4850 X2 is essentially two Radeon HD 4850s in CrossFire mode on a single card, and it will beat the more expensive GeForce GTX 280 hands-down. It will even put the hurt on the new, more expensive GeForce GTX 285.

We're still pleased that the Radeon HD 4850 X2 can now be found on Newegg for $260. At this price, it's cheaper than two Radeon HD 4850 cards, but is more accessible in that it will work with any PCIe motherboard (rather than just those supporting CrossFire connectivity). In either case, that's a lot of performance for the admission price.

pretty much as expected, although they didnt give enuff credit to nvidias new line

W1nTry · « **Reply #72 on:** May 21, 2009, 11:17:31 AM »

I still think the 4850 is a good buy vs. the 4770.

Kraeoss · « **Reply #74 on:** May 21, 2009, 12:55:32 PM »

indeed the 4850 is a much better buy performance/price wise but the 4770 is great at price/performance/watt

And here's another update

Best Graphics Cards For The Money: June '09

Interesting point to note, TH is finding it hard to recommend any GeForce cards, as the competing Radeons are cheaper all around.

However, due to some ppl having SLI motherboards or preferring a particular game that runs better on Nvidia's hardware, they've still had some honourable mentions

Contemplates selling card *pulls on long chinese beard*

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #79 on:** August 24, 2009, 12:49:06 PM »

interesting to see (though it was already understood) how small the high end market is for graphics cards.

Sub $100 makes up the lions share of card sales.

No wonder next gen consoles can appear to rival PCs sine the vast majority of PCs out there are running wshb video cards.

redfish, you have a gtx 260, wtmc. Why would you want to sell that?
