Swap or Not

[solong]

I recently rma'd my 7900gtx and rec'd a EN8800GTS as the 7900 was unrepairable. My question is while I was waiting for word on the 7900 I purchased a Diamond RadeonHD4850 512 mb. Should I swap cards or is the 4850 better.
System Is Titled hers in my sig. Thanks for the suggestions.

well the 4850 is better than even the 8800gtx so there you go. which 8800gts do you receive though?

well that is the best 8800gts but of course the 4850 is still better. I would just sell the 8800gts and keep the 4850.

Thanks for the reply. I think I'll just keep it for backup.

Or you could eBay 'em both, and use the proceeds to buy something even faster (an option which probably wouldn't cost you that much more anyway).

if he still has that 4200 X2 then even the 4850 is being held back.
