Just replaced my ol' 7600GT with brand new sapphire 4850.
I was a bit worried since manual says it requires 450W PSU while mine is 430W.
But it works and atm I am running a benchmark stressing out card's performance. The card is being used at 98-99 percent while temperature stays around 81 degrees with fan no faster than 72% of total speed.
that's quite good results i think.

Main - Radeon 4850 (Vista x64)
HTPC - Radeon X1950 Pro 512MB (XP)
Did have two 4850s in crossfire but the heat and noise was too crazy

I don't know, what's in an Xbox 360?

I usually preferred ATi, but two weeks ago I switched over to the dark side and bought shiny new ZOTAC nVidia GTX 280 1GB, immediately overclocked it and it works like a charm.I actually prefer it to my previous ATi...
Plus Mirror's Edge with PhysX is a nice bonus.
Weclock - x360 has ATi Xenos, mix between X1900XT and HD2900.

Main rig: X800 Pro overclocked and unlocked (from 12 pipes to 16)
Secondary (wife's): Nvidia 5900xt overclocked
As you can see I am way behind the curve. I just can not afford to update to a new PCIe machine at this time. It kind of hurts that every new game that comes out now requires shader 3.0 (DirectX 9.0c). My X800 is probably fast enough to run the new ones at medium-ish settings, but can't because of the stupid shader 3.0 requirement! This is why I love Valve and the Source Engine!
edit: And why I love GOG!
Anyone want to sell me a 1950pro 512?

KavazovAngel: I have two PCs at home. The first one is from 1994 and I am not sure what kind of GPU it has. The second, my current one, had GeForce MX4400, but I switched to GeForce FX5200, and now I am using GeForce 7300GT. I am not planning to buy a new one, but if they ask me which one I would like, it would be the Sapphire 3850HD, simply because it is the best AGP card available.
But my next build/PC, the one that I am hoping to buy during the summer, looking at the situation right now, it will have Sapphire 4870HD. If nVidia and ATi release new cards later this year, I might skip the 4870HD and go with the new ones. I'll just have to wait and see.

Ive considered getting a HD 3850 to upgrade my older pc, but I've read some reivews by users saying that the drivers for those cards do not work, they are not official drivers since ATI doesnt support AGP anymore, but hotfixes from the vendor, in this case Sapphire, and that the card runs slow on some games as a result. I have read other reviews by people saying that the card works great too. So i dont know who to believe.
