I was just wondering how well an ATI Radeon HD 4850 Graphics card by VisionTek would fare against today's computer games and what kind of settings do you think I could run at with a res of 1440x900?Feel free to use any game as an example.what kind of performance should it get in GTA 4?
 
The 4850 is good even at 1680x1050... It's great at 1440x900. Here are some in-game results:http://www.techspot.com/review/240-ati-radeon-hd-5670/page4.htmlhttp://www.anandtech.com/show/2556/13Here, the 1440x900 numbers are in blue:http://www.techspot.com/review/163-radeon-hd-4770/page6.htmlSo, about 36fps in Crysis Warhead, 61fps in Far Cry 2. Solid performance.The only knocks against the 4850 - it's rather power hungry (usually needs a 500W psu) and runs hot. If you've only got a 400-450W psu the Radeon 4770 is a better choice.But with 4850 prices around $100 it's almost impossible to beat in terms of value. The GTS 250 has almost identical overall performance (faster in some games, slower in others) but usually costs $10-$25 more.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814129112http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814134094
