I'd go for a new card, seeing as I'm pretty sure the 4850 is DX10 while the 6850 is DX11. Plus, 2 4850s would use much more power than a 6850 and you'd probably get a better experience with a 6850 compared to two 4850s. Crossfire doesn't always improve framerates. SLI and Crossfire can actually decrease gaming performance, believe it or not. In most cases it does increase performance though.
