Best Card??

[blinghound]

I'm building a computer for my bro, he is going to be gaming whole lot, and I was wondering what the best card could be for £170? would it be the 4890?

I have no preference of nvidia or ati

Thanks for any replies

For an extra tenner he can have a 5850 which owns the 4890

+1if u cant get the extra 10 then ye go for a vapor 4890

5850 is the card you want to get for him, a 4890 at £170 is most definitely not worth it.

just a question,But why go for a vapor 4890 instead of a 5850 which has dx11?
IMO that 5850 will last longer then that vapor!

definately find the extra 30 quid for the 5850

I think I know which card I'm getting him now, thanks a lot guys He'll be pleased

save a bit more or borrow etc and get a 5850, be a very wise move

If you noticed he agreed but stated that if you can't find the extra money for the 5850 then the 4890 Vapor is the one to get.

If you can stretch to it then get the 5850, wish i could afford one lol.
