So I am thinking about changing my 8800 GTS 320 for a new GPU. I was lookin at prices and I might be going red. My options are: Nvidia 9800 GT ATI 4670 1 Gb ATI 4830 512 Mb ATI 4850 512 Mb The 4850 is a little over my budget and unavaliable right now so I was considering the 4830. How good is it? How much of an improvemnt will it be? Is the 4830 that mush worse? I only game at 1280X1024 and my most demanding game right now is GTA 4. I don't want to waste money as I don't have plans to change monitor within the next 2 years. Please let me know whats the best choice for me guys. Thanks.

oc that quadcore and u will get nice performance boost in gtaiv for free heres something to laugh at http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=288016
I thought so but I am not into overlocking because the temperatures here in Brazil are very high. I was affraid though that the 9800 GT is just a 8800 GT and I was wondering if that was a big leap for me. I mean I only change cards every two years or so and I would like it to last that long. So, as it stands, we are looking at either a 4830 or 4850. How much of a performance gain would these two give me?
it won't be that much of a diffrence , the 4670 is actually a little slower then the 8800GTS 320mb , so I would suggest either to save up some more, or to wait .
yes the 9800gt is a 8800gt... as for peformance gains it will be small for now but as new games release the 4830/4850 will pull ahead of the your 8800gts.. run a test of 3dmark 06 with the 8800gts and 4830 then do a vantage run and see the 4830 scores alot more than the 8800gts in vantage
I just looked at this comparison and was happy to know the 4850 can compete with a GTX 260 on some games at 1280X1024. I might end up getting a 4850 than but I need to know wich one.
