ok, ok i know this question has been asked like a million times already but i just wanted some help on my decision.
here are my options:
xfx hd4870: http://www.playtech.co.nz/product.php?action=showdetail&id=7954
xfx hd4850: http://www.playtech.co.nz/product.php?action=showdetail&id=7942
prices are in NZD
the main thing that is bugging me about the 4870 is the non-reference cooler, does anyone know how it performs? and also price, is $60 more for the 4870 a steal or does the 4850 have a better price/performance?
i will be gaming on a 22" 1680 x 1050 monitor.
other specs:
phenom II x4 b50 processor @3.1ghz
OCZ 4gb ddr3 1600 cl7
gigabyte ma770t-ud3p motherboard
thanks.
