Im wondering is the XFX-HD485XZNFC Radeon HD 4850 worth paying $130?

I have a 4870 and its what 20$ more and I can play anything right now. What games are you playing right now and what are your system specs?

If it was for ~$95 It would be worth it.

For $130 you could get a 5750

the 5750 will preform much better

If you can, go with NVidia. They run equally well, but don't have loadtime issues in BC2 (which you should be playing, if you are upgrading your card).

There is nothing in the $130 range from nVidia that can compete with 5750

Alright, thanks everyone. Im going to look into the 5750

not sure what youre talking about, as the BC2 loadtime issues have not been fixed yet

(but are currently being tested in the 257.15 beta drivers, released may 24th)

Also, if you are on a budget, you will probably get more bang for your buck with ATI.
