Looking to upgrade my existing monitor and Asus EAH 5850 DCU Top gfx card in the next few months...

I'm set on the Benq XL2420T unless something else comes out soon... So just looking for a bit of advice on the GFX card front as gaming will be at 1080p. Probably looking to have the card about 2yrs and I pretty much exclusively play Eve online and BF3 at the moment.. Would be nice to play BF3 maxed out... currently play at the High preset and the 5850 does well..

Not set a budget as I can save extra cash over the next couple of months to pay for something that will last a bit long GFX card wise..

What would you suggest ?
 
tbh I dont mind waiting an extra month or 2 and adding a £100 or £200 pounds to the card kitty if it will last for a couple of years..

Does the amount of VRAM needed increase much if im gaming at 1080p or is that only with higher resolutions ??
 
Yeah had thought about that but then I'd need to def upgrade the psu also..and I've heard about lots of fun n games with xfire drivers :D

Think vram could become an issue in the next year. So I'd rather pay the additional Monies and get a newer card with more VRAM and more grunt
 
Had looked at the 7950 and they do look nice cards... Are there any that stand out or are they fairly uniform in their abilities/overclocking ??
