I'm going to Las Vegas this weekend to help my fiancee with an emergency in her family, so I'll see if I can stop at Fry's and see what's available there.

How is the GTX 550TI in comparison to the HD4850?

Somewhat faster, it's roughly 5770/6770 level.

Toms lists the HD6770/7770 as best $130, with the GTX 560 SE a close equivalent.
At $110 the HD7750 gets honorable mention.

Generally the HD 6850 is around $150, if you find it at a sale price it is the go to gaming price performance choice, according to most. I have seen it as low as $120-135 after rebates. Purchased one used from a forum, lol, outperforms an HD 5830.

Amazon has the XFX HD6770 for $106.69 with prime.
newegg has the EVGA GTX 560 SE for $136.97

How good of a deal is this 6870? I like XFX due to their warranty.

It's OK, a 6870 for the price of a 6850.

Is the memory a killer, at 1gb?
