9800gtx+ and the 4850 and 4870 listed. (they will have the full review in this chart up tomorrow for the 4870) but seriously. holy cow. ATI is really try to hold it down. Interesting read.

Heres a quote from the conclusion "The Radeon HD 4850 continues to be a better buy than NVIDIA's GeForce 9800 GTX, even if both are priced at $199. The overclocked, 55nm 9800 GTX+ manages to barely outperform the 4850 in a few titles, but loses by a larger margin in others, so for the most part it isn't competitive enough to justify the extra $30. The 4850 also uses significantly less power than the 9800 GTX+, and AMD was quick to point out that by the time the 9800 GTX+ ships that it will also have factory overclocked 4850s. That should make things even more interesting, because honestly, a factory overclocked Radeon HD 4850 is far more attractive to us than an overclocked GTX+.

In a little over 12 hours we'll be able to complete the story with a full look at AMD's RV770 GPU and the Radeon HD 4870, so for a full, detailed performance analysis come back then. Until then, in short, the 9800 GTX+ doesn't really change anything for NVIDIA. " This doesnt sound good for nVidia. Theyll have to reduce pricing, or find that rabbit and their ......hat

Saw that this morning too.
Now i know i made the right decision buying the 4850 :)

SoOOOooo funny in the computer shop yesterday, guy was tossing up between a 9800 and a 9600. The 9800 was still almost twice as much as the 4850, which was the same price as the 9600. Shop guy says "NoOOoOooo there are noooo new gfx card developments coming up, and there has been nothing for awhile"
All i could do was laugh as they guy paid ~$200AUD for a 9600.
