GTX 460, GTX 560, or Gigabyte GTX 480 SOC.

I'd recommend the 480 SOC for its current £220 price tag.

how good at the 460's? they look more in my price range, are they a decent improvement to a gtx 260 (216)?

I've just upgraded from a 1gb 4870 to a KFA2 GeForce GTX 480 LTD OC ANARCHY, and it's an absolute beast. Massive improvement on my old card. Runs very quiet and cool, and only paid £196.

If your budget stretches that far i'd have no hesitation recommending one of the overclocked 480's.

l'v got the 470 OC'D to nearly 480 spec, if you can 480.

I went for this in the end, worth the money? feel guilty about the price!
