And then disaster struck.Or at least that's how it felt. The past few weeks have been incredibly tumultuous, sleepless, and beyond interesting. It is as if AMD and NVIDIA just started pulling out hardware and throwing it at eachother while we stood in the middle getting pegged with graphics cards. And we weren't just hit with new architectures and unexpected die shrinks, but new drivers left and right.

80c idle and extremely fast. I don't care about benchmarks but 1600x1200 max AA everything maxed out with every game I've tried runs smooth.

yeah the 4850 i've got here runs pretty damn silky smooth compared to my 3870

actually to me.. when AA is turned on.... things are noticeably better then the 3870...
