OK, so I just sold my friend my BFG 8800GTS OC that was only like two months old. I really didn't even want to get rid of it but he offered me $200 so I could not turn that down. I am having trouble deciding between the GTX 260, 4870, or crossfire 4850. I do have a crossfire motherboard but since its a P35 set it only supports 16x/4x crossfire. Would it even be worth getting the 4850s because of that? Price is not to much of an issue since they all cost around the same. Thank you!
 
which gts is that my opinion is 4870 i don't think cf on p35 is nice idea
 
It was a G92 512. I forgot to mention that I game at 1440x900 and play mostly FPS. I am thinking about going for a 24" soon so that rez may change.
 
as far as i remember p35 limited cf power so gtx260 or 4870 are much better solutions for you (of course if you aren't planning to buy a new mobo )
 
I'd wait the ~month for the 4870X2 and save up if at all possible if 1920x1200 is in your future. That, or sell the P35 board and pick up an X38 or X48 instead.
 
yeah if you can wait there also will be 1gb model of 4870 plus 4870x2
 
Thanks for the suggestion. My mainboard dosnt have any integrated video, so I would like to get something soon. Do you know how long before the 1GB models appear?
