I'm currently running a GeForce 8800GTS 640MB (G80) and it's been fine for the last year or so. Now with the newer line of cards coming out it seems it's finally time to upgrade.
That being said, I see there is a deal at BestBuy with the 4850's being $149. I have called my local BestBuy and they have one set aside for me, and I have a print out of this so-called 25%-off Visiontek deal. I was wondering if it'd be a worthwhile upgrade, or worth my time, rather, to purchase it. It seems to be on par with the G92 9800GTX in most cases, but I'm not quite sure how much of a difference it will make in comparison to the G80 line. I wan't an improvement obviously, but not so small that I won't notice.
Should I wait for the 4870? This $149 deal seems to be killer though, and I can probably sell my G80 on Craigslist for about that price. So I end up spending almost no money.
