save for 2x 4870x2! That way if it doesn't live up to expectations you can grab yourself anything else!

I think he's set on GTX 260's because of the PhysX built in

pfft.

...ATI will support physx too, after all AMD just teamed up with Havoc and they claim that it will be 9x faster than Ageia

PhysX (spelled with an X) = Ageia = Nvidia
not the same thing as Havoc Physics. But anyway... where did you hear it'd be 9x faster?

ya never heard that. I know that Havok is much more supported then PhysX, so thank goodness im staying with AMD.

someone add 9800gtx+ please. I would say maybe a little infront of the 4850.

I'd put it below the 4850... Even if they were equal (which they aren't according to Anandtech, the 4850 beats the 9800gtx+ in frames on average) I would have to give it to the 4850 because its smaller, cheaper, and uses less power which is the only deciding factor when performance is equal.

The Radeon HD 4850 continues to be a better buy than NVIDIA's GeForce 9800 GTX, even if both are priced at $199. The overclocked, 55nm 9800 GTX+ manages to barely outperform the 4850 in a few titles, but loses by a larger margin in others, so for the most part it isn't competitive enough to justify the extra $30. The 4850 also uses significantly less power than the 9800 GTX+, and AMD was quick to point out that by the time the 9800 GTX+ ships that it will also have factory overclocked 4850s. That should make things even more interesting, because honestly, a factory overclocked Radeon HD 4850 is far more attractive to us than an overclocked GTX+.
