How good is 4850 for gaming?

4850 was a very good card in it's day (a year or so ago) and it's still in the class 1 category as far as I'm aware. You will be able to play all those games on mostly maxed setting comfortably in 1920x1080 I think. Not too sure about native res. I think if the 4850 has 1gig of vram native res would be quite possible.

I know it's not the newest game anymore, but I have the i5 w/ 4850 and I was able to run Fallout 3 in 2560x1440 on Ultra settings with 4X AA perfectly fine.

I don't think the new one on the i7 performs much better, just a bit. As of what I've read it only consumes a bit less.

Performance wise is about the same but the new one has lower consumption and it a dx 11 not dx 10 like 4850.
