budget limit of $2000. the 4870 was $439 and the 4850 is $264.
I would of went over my budget, only reason why.

the 4850 is still a really good card for $172 less.

That's even worse than a director saying that he needs a couple of actors.

I didn't review the rest of the thread for an update, but that's not very specific.

What I meant is that I wanted to keep some money in the end so I could buy games. maybe it wasn't specific enough.

Edit: but to answer your question I play mostly FPS, RTS.
