Radeon 4800 series.

Finally AMD/ATi came out with their next gen cards that incorporate a new architecture as an answer to Nvidia’s GTX 260 and 280 cards. Hardocp.com reviewed both the 4870 and the lesser powered 4850, and the praises are high.

What’s exciting is that the 4870 which is the higher end card and can in many cases do better than a GTX 260, costs $100 less, and about half the power which in my opinion is awesome, since it shows that not both companies pursue the idea that more transistors which leads to bigger more power hungry cards equals better.

It seems that a Radeon 4800 series card will be my next card of choice.
