I think most people will be prepared to pay the extra £10 or so for a 4850 tbh, but variation is always good I guess.

I don`t know myself, but if the 4850 can do this too:

Phenomenal HD multimedia experience

More than just a gaming card, the ATI Radeon HD 4830 offers up exceptional HD multimedia performance as well. All ATI Radeon HD 4800 series cards allow users to enjoy HD digital content4 with uncompromising visual fidelity while helping to enhance the definition and clarity of lower resolution visual media. AMD’s second generation Unified Video Decoder (UVD 2.0) ensures users experience smooth HD video playback, and sharp, crisp images and vibrant colors through ATI Avivo™ HD technology. Combined with capabilities like picture-in-picture, and support for the latest HD audio technologies like 7.1 surround sound, the ATI Radeon HD 4830 graphics card serves up an impressive cinema-quality home entertainment experience.

The pricing seems pretty darn close to me.

Might indeed be a little close to the 4850. On the other side... I might even be interested in the 4830's if they blast out way less heat than the '50.

Well the performance is about 75% of the 4850, so I would go for the extra £10 and get the 4850, doesn't make sence to me to leave out £10 for the extra 25% performance..

In the US they are retailing for $40-50 less than the 4850, over here they need to be £75-80 tops to be worth looking at over a 4850.
