Best Bang for the buck...

I'm looking at buying BFG Technologies GeForce GTX 275 OC 896MB GDDR3 PCIe 2.0 Graphics Card for $199.99.

After reviewing a bunch of sites it seems to be the best card for the price is there a better option for $30-50 more? Some of the games I play most won't see a benefit going SLI or crossfire, but I am open to that idea.

I think the hd4850x2 is pretty good value for the price for sure.

Is that 2 4850s or the 4850x2. Thanks it wasn't on the graphics card chart when I was pricing cards out I also didn't realize anyone was still selling them.

Seems like this is the best bang for the buck at $219.99 I'll be placing that order tonight if nobody thinks I can do better.

Np man, I think its really good. I was gonna get it but now i am just gonna start out with one 4890 and then get another one and crossfire them when i get the xtra cash.

If you got some time search the net for some benchmarks. I think i saw in most cases it was on par with the gtx 280.

Best of luck man

Does the 4850x2 run only a single card in games that don't support Crossfire or SLI?

From what i understand it will run as a single card. For the most part all the newer games u play will support xfire and the games that dont a single 4850 will run that game very well.
