Less power consumption in idle (ati is promising that PP2 works on 4850/70 since the last 5 drivers, lol)
Linux drivers
CUDA (Photoshop CS4 for example, GPU support)
PhysX
..
Worth the 11€ more. Not 30.

As you can see, saphire hd 4850 takes less power with load and almost half power usage with idle compare to the MSI 9800gtx.

I see you arnt so really updated. Ati drivers is not as they was before, its no problem to use linux on a ati card now days.

The GPU support for photoshop is nothing spec. Get a good cpu insteed.

Well yeah, you got physX.
But ati has Havok witch they soon will make work on theres cards.. And Havok is alot bigger then phyzX.
But the support arnt so good for gpu anyway so.. get a good cpu insteed. You will not make a much of a diffrent on a phyzX game with a nvidia vs ati card.
