HD 4770 or HD 4850

Go for the 4850, it's faster, but you'll need a bit more power for either, see if you can put a 450W in there: Corsair, Antec, Pc Power and cooling, Seasonic and OCZ are the best.

It should work fine with that psu. Does that psu come with a 6pin pcie? or does the card come with a adapter?

I'd go with the 4770

4850 : Longer card, more heat, uses more power, available right now with prices cheaper than the 4770, little bit better performance.

4770 : Shorter card, less heat, uses less power, not much in stock, prices gone up a little bit with demand.

I have seen the 4850 around $75 or $80 after rebate, where as the 4770 is currently around $110 or $120 with no rebate. I would go with the 4850.

just like me

with the promo code at the top of the page, you get a hdmi capable 4850 for $85, and thats BEFORE REBATE!!!

i ordered this for my brother when it was packaged with a free hdmi cable... a $75 AR 4850 sounds like a great deal to me, and don't forget BING CASHBACK which brings it down to 72.50. that is a monster deal man, and its an aftermarket heatsink, which will run nice and cool, and will overclock nicely

*edit*

when you put it in your cart, it comes with a free $15 HDMI cable! THIS IS A STEAL

I have seen several sources citing that AMD is going to have a price cut on the HD48XX series around the month of July. The main reason for this is that they can not produce enough 4770s to fill that market niche, plus the new HD58XX series will be releasing around the September - October time frame so they have to clean out their stock of 48XXs.

This is a no-brainer. The HD4850 with out a doubt. From what I understand they are going to drop the price below the century mark. The yields on the 4770s are not very good thus increasing it's production costs.

I don't have this card but I would highly recommend the HIS ICE-Q4 HD4850 Turbo. SPEND the xtra money on it. It is worth it.
