8800GT Upgrade

[gee3000]

I have a PNY 8800GT, and am considering an upgrade.

My budget:
2nd hand sale price for my current card (less than 2 months old)
+ £40-50 on top


Any recommendations for a worthy upgrade?

Im pretty sure almost everyone will say 4850/70

Thought so lol.

How much better is the 4870 than the 8800GT? Performance gain worth the extra ££?

8800gtx? 4850?

can't really see any of them being a worthy upgrade... the 4870 would be moderatly faster... the difference between the 8800GT and the 4850 just isn't worth the hassle and extra money imo and you can get close to 8800GTX performance with a little OCing on the GT.

definitely the 4870, nothing else is worth considering.
