Q: Im sorry for another compare video cards again but its different this time. I need numbers and opinions but not just opinions on paper it looks like the 9800 gtx is better but worth the extra money?
A: 4850 is the way to go. It's newer, faster and cheaper than the (now-outdated) 9800 GTX. Currently nvidia doesn't have a competive card in the $200 market. If you're willing to wait, perhaps they will release a new card in the 200 series, but as it stands right now, the 4850 is a winner.
