779006 2009-06-02 03:38:00 I will be getting a graphics card to put with my system (in sig below) and am still not sure of a 4770, 4850 or perhaps something else?
Budget is max of $300 (preferably less)
What is likely to be the better buy? (in a few weeks time)

Graphics cards are the SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT component in a gaming system.

Not the CPU, not the RAM, not the case, not anything else.

Your budget is too small in my opinion but if you insist then the 4850.
Take a look at the VGA charts at www.tomshardware.com for performance ranking.

Don't skimp.

GTS 250 does run cooler though.

The 4850 is only about 5% faster than the 4770, so if the 4850 is much more expensive, then just go for the 4770.
