ok, im looking to buy a new Graphics Card for my PC. i want to be able to play crysis on somwhat high settings ( or very high. no AA or AF ) but i want the card to be stable on my Raidmax 530W PSU. right now ive been thinking about the 4850. ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814102770 )
my budget is about 275$. no more. so alltogether i have 275 dollars to spend on this upgrade. i can upgrade my power supply, but then ill have to get a cheaper card. its hard to say thats why im posting this here.

thanks.

my pc:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+
160GB Sata Hard drive
4GB ddr2 800 RAM
BIOSTAR TFORCE TA790GX motherboard.
530W Raidmax PSU. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6817152028
Two Radion HD 3650's in crossfire.


anything else u need? just ask.

I bought my 4850 for $111 with rebate, and it handles EVERYTHING at 1440x900. With that powersupply a 4870 would probably be a little power starved....

i agree with the 4870 being power starved i think ill buy a 4850 so it can run at max performance oppose to a 4870 running slow because of low power. thanks anyway.
