Friend of mine's getting his vacation pay that's two years overdue apparently, so he's splurging on a 5870 and third monitor. I told him I'd consider his 4890 (XFX xXx edition), says he only wants around $150 for it.
Right now I've got an XFX 4850 1gb and a main monitor at 2048x1152. Everything runs pretty well right now, as long as AA is off, though crysis on enthusiast is a bit much, ~24 fps. Was better before I had dual monitors, some issue with CCC that causes computer to crash if the card is overclocked. I don't really mind it, but I figure I could get $85 or so for my 4850, $50 from the parents (passing money, exams are done tomorrow). So I'd be getting a 4890 for $25 give or take. Which seems like a pretty good deal.
Think it's worth it?
