At 1680X1050, I imagine you could get away with a $120 HD4850 even for games like Crysis. It's insane how much GPUs have outpaced games the past year or so.
I wouldn't count on Crysis as a good benchmark, its way too messed up.
at 1680x1050 and futureproofing, I wouldn't go for a 4850, notice its place on this

(75.10) compared to the others it may last for a while but not as long as something that gets more frames. I'd say the 4890 (107.3) is a better bet if you're willing to shell out, more bucks, more frames, more future proofing.
