ATI HD Radeon 4850 vs NVIDIA Geforce 9800 GTX

Videocards/VGA Reviews by massman @ 2008-09-08

Competition is fierce at the $150 price point, both NVIDIA and ATI have products for you which were considered high end not too long ago. How does the newcomer HD 4850 stack up to the Geforce 9800 GTX? We compared them head to head, and threw an overclocked HD 4850 into the mix.
