Just interested to know, is there a big difference between these 2? The toxic edition of I think the 3870 appears to have better cooling and be an overclocked 3870 how does this compare to all you guys who know about these things to the stock 4850.

I think most recent prices I compared the toxic was 167 at newegg and you could pick up a 4850 for about 5 bucks more after your mail in rebate.

Just interested to know what people think about the comparison?

4850 way better.
4850=9800/8800GTX
3870=9600GT or 8800GT
The 4850 on the left is standard.
The one on the left is the 1gb model, i dont think there's too much performance difference until the very high res.
The 1gb model is aimed at rendering and other VRAM intensive apps.
There hasn't been any reviews yet of the 1gb model.

I don't think the 1gb is going to be any faster.
