well.....4850 is a bit of a overkill at that resolution.......1440x900 actually has less pixel that a 1280x1024 resolution........i game at 1440x900 and it fine and smooth with 9600GT........max out every game with 8xAA. but it wont hurt to spent a lil more on 8800GT, but 4850 would be a SERIOUS overkill.

The HD 4670 supposedly comes out tomorrow, and looks like it'll do quite well on 1440x900.

For gaming right? Otherwise you can do that resolution on an intergrated chip. :pt1cable:

Nope i still recommend HD 4850 because who knows how it will perform but it will be certainly lower than HD 4850.

Richie may have been trying to be funny, but he has a point. What applications and/or games do you want to run?
Also, what is the brand and model of your PSU? If it's a little 300W unit that came with your case, it will smoke if you try to connect a 4850 to it (assuming it even has a PCIE power connector).

i game at that res and have 2x 9800GT SLI. though its turned off now, i only use SLI when i play crysis. other games i own/play are gears or war (i get crazy frame rates so i have to turn on v-sync and triple buffering) plays awesomely with all settings turned to high, and Halo 2 (i get crazy ridiculous frame rates, so much the game glitches when i look around, it seems like its limited but v-sync and good ole' triple buffering come to save the day) its old so pretty much anything will kill halo 2 but go for a 9800GT or 8800GT (almost the same thing).

It's about 99% the resolution of 12x10, so not really noteworthy as 'less', and even at 1280x1024 the HD4850 is far from 'overkill' in many games, especially anything shader intensive like Crysis.

Sure if he's playing older titles maybe, but if he's wanting to play current titles, the HD4850 is fine. A GF8800GT would be a capable card, but its also limited in some areas, and I doubt you're playing Crysis maxed out with 8XAA on that GF9600GT when 8XAA would stress even the GTX280 and HD4870.

So for buying a card now looking to the long term, an HD4850 is far from overkill. It may or may not be the best value depending on the prices of other options in his area, but it's definitely not overkill unless like Richie mentions, it's not for gaming, in which case the GF9600GT would be overkill too, heck an HD2600 or GF8600 might be overkill in that case. :D
