The 9800GTX+ is slightly better than the HD4850.
What is your motherboard and power supply?

9800gtx+ considering its more stable on the driver department.

you're lucky they're priced the same. cause where i came from even the old 9800gtx outprices the 4850 by almost 60$ (converted). so i chose the 4850.

Where are you that the prices are close? Here in the US, the 4870 is closer to the price of a 9800GTX+ than the cheaper 4850's.. In which case the 9800 is far from a steal

Im in Portugal, next to Spain :)
well, a HD4870 here costs around 250€, 4850's and 9800gtx's around 170-180€.
I just ordered the 9800gtx+ btw, it just has better drivers, and doesnt heat up too much.. as i've been told the HD4850's have cooling issues :x

In that case the 4850 and 9800 are better for their price :) http://seoagora.com/img/459/k08q1024glza/ecstatic.gifhttp://seoagora.com/img/308/s08e1024rvou/champagne.gifhttp://seoagora.com/img/589/d08l1104oulu/smiley2.gif
