Need advice on GPU

[dwest]

I'm looking for a upgrade for my 4870, price range up to £240. I'll mainly be using it for photoshop very little gaming. Any suggestions?

For that price it pretty much hit dead on the GTX470. But if you can wait a bit longer, the 6850 might worth a look ASSUMING that it's gonna priced around the £230-£250 price point.

For your reference, for 1920x1200 4xAA, 5850=around 10% faster than GTX460 1GB, GTX470=around 10% faster than 5850 according to Anandtech's results. Price wise GTX460 1GB (£170~£185), 5850 (around £200-£220), GTX470 (around £225-£235).

Cheers for that, is the 6850 hitting the market any time soon? I want to get this before the VAT rises in Jan
