ASUS Radeon HD 4850 – 512MB – PCI Express 2.0 – $139.99
ASUS has always been a manufacturer of quality components and PC hardware. The ASUS EAH4850 512MB Radeon HD card is a powerhouse. This thing is meant to handle anything you can throw at it without breaking a sweat or losing any frame rates. The interface uses PCI Express 2.0 x16 giving you an ultra fast connection providing plenty of support for all of today’s hotttest games.
Look at the fan on that thing as well! This thing is huge, in fact it may be a bit too big. I’ve read reviews from quite a few people stating that they had issues fitting it into their case and it stretching as long as their motherboard. This video card is definitely not for you if you are running a mid-tower or smaller case, I doubt you could get it to fit.
The core clock runs at 680MHz while 512MB of GDDR3 memory makes this card a monster. Support for both DirectX 10.1 and OpenGL 2.1 and 2 DVI ports, 1 HDTV/S-Video port and an HDMI port (adapter included) give you plenty of options for connecting this card to pretty much anything.
