Radeon HD 4850 Benchmarks

Video cards in the $200 price range got a boost in performance recently as ATI and Nvidia both scrambled to get their latest products on the market. ATI has launched the Radeon HD 4850, which is the fastest card in their line-up, outperforming even the dual core Radeon HD 3870 X2. Nvidia has annouced the GeForce 9800 GTX+, which is very similar to current GeForce 9800 GPUs, but with a smaller 55nm die and increased clock speeds. Legit Reviews has compared two of these new cards, and while Nvidia is still dominating the high-end, these are good times for the average gamer that doesn't have a fortune to spend on hardware.
