Upgrade from 8800gt

[Maximum Triceratops]

Hi all, quick question, what card to get for around £100-150 that would feel like a decent upgrade from an 8800gt.
Thanks in advance.

4890 - This is on special.. Personally, I'd wait and see what 5*** series has to offer.

I went from 8800gt to GTX260, awesome upgrade

The 8800gt could play games at 1920x1080, but the 260 plays them smoother and at higher quality settings

It's the logical upgrade

or a 275/285 depending on the price you can find them for

the OcUK Value GeForce GTX 285 1024MB for £199 looks a great deal!
I dont know if it's even worth waiting for the new cards,Or just to buy this one lol

I also have a 8800GT and im looking to update it some time soon. Its been a fantastic card, but looking for a little more 'oomph!'

Id recommend what im going to do / people above are saying and wait until the 5850 prices & benchmarks are out before making a decision.
