Graphics card advice

    So my 8800Gtx is dying :(

    Anyway, I want to get a new graphics and am looking for some advice on which to choose. I want it tomorrow so it has to be from a real shop :P

    The two I'm leaning towards are the Sapphire HD4870 for €279 and a GeCube Radeon HD4850 for €169.


    I only really play CoD4 and never at resolutions greater than 1280x960 so I really don't see the point of spending an extra €110 for the 4870.


    Which card do you guys think I should go for?

    Thanks in advance :)

    Get 4850.

    Gtx @ 1280 must have been nice 8XAA etcetc :D

    Don't know tbh I play with an FPS config, the game has far too much eye candy for competitive play :D

    4850 would suit your resolutions and gfx requirements. Cheap as chips as well.
