Ati 4850 / 4870

I know the newer generation nvidia cards have issues in SoD when using 1st person.

Anyone have a chance to try a 4850/ 4870 yet?
 
I have dual 8500 GT and i get tons of random little graphic bugs especially in first person.


Isnt 4850 and 4870 ATI Radeon cards? I dont think they have issues.
 
Yeah, I've been holding off on a pc upgrade because I didn't want a videocard that bugged out on sod.
Those are the two newest ATI cards, which finally appear to be competition to nvidia. Was hoping anyone who happened to buy one would let us know if they had any issues.
 
Hate to perform thread necromancy here, but I didn't see any clear answer to this question and am now able to shed some light for anyone still curious. I just installed a 4850 using drivers straight out of the box and it works well. The only two bits of weirdness that I've noticed are:

1) The target ring doesn't work, but I understand that many cards don't seem to show them for some reason.

2) Merchant windows are wider with a bunch of blank space to the right of the item listing and no way to shrink the window. Not sure what's up with that, but it's more of a minor nuisance than anything.

Nothing seems remotely game breaking yet (note: I've only messed around for about 30 minutes, so I haven't been in every situation) and I haven't seen any texture issues or the combat animation problems like folks have reported with the various flavors of geforce 8xxx and 9xxx cards.
