So I just got refunded on my faulty 4850 and im looking for a new card. My Max res is 1440 x 900 it will be used for modern games, was looking at the Gainward 4870 or the Xfx 4890 which is only £25 extra. Im leaning towards the 4890 as its not much more plus i get two free games and its good for future proofing when i get a higher resoultion monitor. Almost forgot to mention my Motherboard can xfire, Any other suggests are welcome.

Also about the two games that come with the 4890 are they the fully boxed retail versions? or would i recieve some form of code used for a direct download service?
 
Considering the price, I would go for the Asus 4890 as it's not much more.

Regarding the games, I think that you get a code that you use to download the game, but I'm not 100% sure on that.
