You're the ATI fanboy around here, you should be able to answer your own question after you recommend ATI cards to everyone else

The graphic card classification thread has the 3870 above the 4670, and it's had quite a lot of input, so I guess it's something you can go by.

But I'm sure somewhere will have a 4850 in stock.

If they don't have a 4850, hold out until they do. If you can afford it, grab a 4870. Get one with 1GB if you can - your high textures will thank you

LOL

But, yeah another vote for the 4850, head and shoulders above the other cards mentioned.
