Just curious if any cards have come out which would provide a large gain over an ATI 4850 and would provide a noticeable difference in gaming? Doesn't matter if they are ATI or Nvidia.
 
It appears that the 9800GTX can give it a run for its money so I'd give that a shot. I use a 9600GT and its incredible.
 
It's a quad core system but my motherboard does not have another PCI-E slot for another video card.
 
If I understand what you question is, I would say any of the 200 series GTX Nvidia or the Ati 4870x2 cards perform far better than the 4850.

The 9800GTX is usually still $180+ and is at best on-par with the 4850 while often lagging behind in terms of performance.

If you want a noticeable (i.e. >15%) improvement over the 4850, you'd be looking at the following:

4870 x2
GTX 260 Core 216
GTX 280
GTX 285
GTX 295 (much more expensive)
