HD 4830 vs HD 4850

[sprucebr1]

Hey, I'm looking at upgrading. Have read good things about the 4830, was also looking at getting a 4850. Though , the 4830 is much cheaper, and so far the only difference I'm aware of is that the 4830 has less stream processors. Though I haven't looked at any charts yet. Does anyone see a big difference here making it worth going for the 4850? The cards that I've been looking at are the Sapphire HD 4830 and the ASUS HD 4850 TOP. Any input on this would be appreciated, thanks.

I would say the 4850 is the best fit for your setup but I`d advise you to look towards the XFX or HIS cards, their coolers exhaust out of the case and run cooler than either stock or the Asus card you mention.

HD 4850 it is. I guess there's been alot of these questions on here lately, just wasn't sure about my own setup. Thanks. Yeah, and I have read quite a bit about the ASUS problems, though I thought I only had to do with the 4870.
