Am debating between the two specific cards below.
VisionTek 900244 Radeon HD 4870 512MB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - Retail
or
ASUS EAH4850/HTDI/512M Radeon HD 4850 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card
Is there a reasonable performance boost going from the 4850 to the 4870? It seems to be about a $90 price difference on Newegg. I'd like to be able to play the latest and greatest games like Crysis at pretty close to max resolutions.
BTW, my 20" widescreen has a max resolution of 1680 x 1050.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
