hmm this OC version seems promising..but still u guys recommend a 22' even if I were to get the OC version?

do the core speeds mean the difference between gettin a 22 or 24' or is it simply the architecture of the 4850 versus that of the 4870?

4870 has significantly more memory bandwidth using GDDR5, so it has a significant advantage, not even OC version will be close. Infact OC version is negligible, you can overclock on your own if you want.

ok it's easy 22"=4850 and 24"=4870

No worries. We are all learning.

fastest, yes ......but by how much?

if you noticed, i stopped graphic card overclocking in my reviews.

i find the gains are insignificant in general, and compare that to the amount of reboot / crashes - pfffft. it's wasting time.

actually even for 22", the HD4870 would be better.

FYI I tried GTX280 on my 20" with Crysis on VERY HIGH settings (DX10) and 4x AA - it crawls! it's barely playable. BARELY. but then that's just that lousy game, all else are more than playable.

isn't 1680x1050 the native res for 22" panel?

Maybe what he meant is even 4870 is required to play at 1680?

I wouldn't bother with AA in Crysis. I would just be happy to play it at 1920 x 1200 without AA.
