Fair enough then I want one but I want to make the most outta my HD 4850 first Does the 4850 work well on games like Crysis ect? Cause im planning on...

Yeah, but they won't take off in PC's till the RW are at that price.

GTA IV at 15GB, and the likes of other games (Dirt 2 for eg) exceeding 10GB. To be honest i could see it happening by This year (2010) or possibly at 2012 latest. But i think its going to be much better when games are on Blu Ray cause at least you dont have...

Thanks for the replies.  Well yeah reading about it over the internet found out that some of the Phsyx Drivers by Ageia work fine with ATI, is when updating to the most recent Nvidia drivers that causes the issue.
