I got a 4850 clocked at 700 / 2040 and am satisfied with the performance. $102 open box card. I figured
I couldn't play Crysis Warhead on this low end card though, so why bother. Well I decided to try it and
see what kind of results I would get.
I was actually surprised how good Crysis Warhead looks at 1024x768 4xAA "Gamer" Settings.
Game is smooth at these settings on a 4850. I didn't think it would look good at first since
on my 24inch monitor, as my native res is 1920x1200, but it actually looks fantastic.
I am now starting to wonder if gaming at higher resolutions is overrated. I mean, yah, it will
probably look better if you take a screenshot, but I think as far as the overrall gaming
experience is concerned, it really makes no difference at all, especially when you can just
use AA at low resolutions to clean up the jaggies.
Edit: Some Screenshots at 1024x768 4xaa...you be the judge. Game plays nicely at
these settings.
