Hey everyone,
Building a rig and will be running a 24" 1900x1080 monitor.
The 4850x2 is on the egg for $220.
I will want to play Crysis, Borderlands, all brands of old and new MMOs, etc...
I don't mind "overkill", because "overkill" becomes "inadequate" REALLY fast.
I know that by the time DirectX11 becomes fleshed out the price of the 5850 will drop to $200, and of course I want to get into the 5000 series. But it's expensive right now.
So knowing all this...is the 4850x2 for $220 a good price/performance bang for the buck?
Should I get that, a single 4890, or just shut up and get the 5850?
Thanks!
