Yeah, I agree with Garcian, you got ripped off. You should have got the much faster 4850 for $30 less than you paid.


I didn't want to shop online. It becomes a pain in the ass if the card doesn't work properly. Also the 4850 requires a superior power supply than what I have.

The 360 is my primary gaming machine. I just use the PC for a few games.

The Radeon 4850 actually consumes slightly less power than some 9800 GT models at both idle and load. Check out this chart for a comparison (scroll down a bit).

Any PSU that can handle a 9800 GT can handle a 4850.



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
