| ihira said: weird, the only 9800gtx+ I see on newegg is the EVGA one for $199. Considering 9800GTX+ and 4850 perform very similar, I would still go with 4850 because of the lower prices and less performance hit when AA is turned on. |
from the reviews I have seen AA doesnt hurt the performance of the nVidia cards half as bad as anyone here is stating. Frankly AA hits both cards hard. From what I have seen the GTX+ outperforms the 4850 in the lower resolutions so unless he is getting the top of the line monitor I doubt he would need the 4850's abiity to some how hold pretty good its performance in those resolutions.
