Generally the 4850 benchmarks higher than the 8800/9800GT, but gaming performance varies depending on the game being run. But to put it in simplest terms, the performance difference is not anywhere near worth $45 |
The 9800 GT tha the OP listed isn't $100.00 with rebate, it's $119.00 and there is no rebate. If you want to compare cheapest prices then you need to select and HD4850 with a better rebate as well.
The HD 4850 will last you longer as games get more complex and take advantage of DX10.1 and Shader Model 4.1.
