New budget GfX card

Off to buy a new GFX card this week, cant deide what to get, my 3850 is ok, it plays all my games fine on high settings, with a few low frames here and there but nothing worth worrying about. I am wanting to upgrade my mo/bo soon as well so I want to get a card that has good xfire/sli abilities

My budget is £100, iv looked all on the net but everysite says somthing different ! urgh! lol

please help, much appreciated

a 4850 is the same roughly as a 9800gtx! ? i thought 9800 gtx's where like top bang lol,
how much better will those ati cards be than my 3850

and thanks

Yes, the 4850 and the 9800GTX series are both great cards. They will max out any game except Crysis.

They will both be much better than the 3850.

9800GTX/GTX+/GTS250 ~ 4850 > 4770> 4830 ~ 9800GT >/~ 8800GT > 3870 > 3850 ~ 4670 > 4650

4850 it is, thanks for the advice, will get an xfire mo/bo in couple of weeks and 2 of those cards

Right, 4850's in crossfire are even more powerfull than a gtx280.

I agree that for $220 total ($110 each) two crossfired Radeon 4770s are, without a doubt, the best performance for the cost, easily outperforming the similarly priced 4890.

However in Marsay's price range I'd say the best choice would probably be a Radeon 4850.
