    ok thank you, and how come the review of the 4850 by hexus shows some quite low numbers, other sites seem to have "found" the card to perform much better.......any answers??

    Low Resolutions, everyone else has gone to the higher resolutions where the numbers start to actually count.

    You mean at the higher resolutions where you can count the FPS by eye?

    Useless benching at a resolution where you're getting <40fps average IMO, since with that average it's bound to be dropping into the 20's at some points, and that's getting choppy.
