Hello!
I'm using 8800GT 512mb atm, which is working very good, although it feels a bit outdated. 4850x2 2gb seems like a good replacement, although it is huge. But the reviews are positive about it, showing it's on par and sometimes faster than gtx 285, and 4850x2 2gb is about $130/€95 cheaper here in Sweden. It would've been an obvious choice, if I didnt read so much about unstable drivers for 4850x2. It's been a while now after it was released, so my question is, how are ATI drivers nowadays? Do newer games have issues with dual gpu graphic cards?

Other than that, I'm open for suggestions, GTX275 is just a little bit more expensive, and slower.
I will be gaming at 1680x1050 (my monitor doesnt support higher) with 4-8x antialiasning, and maxed details, keeping in mind future games as well :)

I have had zero issues with the 4850x2 2GB. Ive used it and a few of my customers as well. Most of the driver issues were worked out early on and since ATI supports the cards via default now there are few things to complain about.
