Hey everyone! I need a little help selecting a video card. I am stuck between getting an HD 4850 or an HD 4870.
I don't know if I should get the 1gb version or 512mb version of either card. I am currently looking at 2 different 4870s. Here are the ones I'm looking at:
HIS Hightech H487F512P Radeon HD 4870 512MB

ASUS EAH4870/HTDI/1G Radeon HD 4870 1GB
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121277
There is also a Sapphire version of the 512 for a little bit less. The monitor I am planning on buying is 1080p

I am trying to keep my entire build under $1000, and right now it comes out to $1107 with the 1gb 4870. If it is worth the extra money I am willing to pay for it, but don't want to go any higher. Would it be better to go with a less expensive monitor and a 4870 or 4850? Thank you for your time!
