Im finally upgrading my 6800GT Pcie. looking at 3850/4850 somewhere inbetween for light gaming on a 19" and some graphics adobe etc. Rest of the system Gigabyte P35 DQ6, Q6600, 6400 XMS2 4GB, 550w antec true power.
confused about the prices of a 4850 @ scan
512MB Sapphire HD 4850, PCI-E 2.0 (x16), 1986MHz GDDR3, GPU 625MHz, 800 Cores, VGA/ DL DVI-I/ HDMI ... for £79.24 Inc VAT
for an Extra £3.43 ontop, they offer 1gb more with Cross Fire
1GB Power Color HD 4850, PCI-E 2.0(x16), 1900MHz GDDR3, GPU 625MHz, 800 Cores, DL DVI-I/ HDMI/ D-Sub ... £82.67 Inc VAT
So is this a no brainer and should go for the 2nd? abliet with 86MHz slower GDDR3!
I was trying to get a 2nd hand 3850 originally via ebay, but they kept going for silly money 45-50. Would rather add the £30 extra for a NEW and far better card.

But like you said though if the 3850 was your starting point then the overclock does not make much sense as both cards are much more powerful. If you needed a 3850 why not try and source one or a 3870?
The Gainward is VERY shiny and why not go £8 more for the vapor-X.
