Need your advice on upgrading from a 4870

Hi all.

I currently have 2 crossfired ATI HD4870 in an Asus Rampage Formula board http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_775/Rampage_Formula/#specifications , powered by an Enermax Galaxy DXX 850w modular PSU and thought it was about time to upgrade to a DX11 card.

I don't need the latest or greatest card just something that is DX11 and an upgrade to what I have be it one card or 2 crossfired again.

Budget is about £150

Looking within my budget should I be looking at getting 1x6870 or maybe 2x6670 or even going for an Nvidia card instead or maybe something else entirely.

I don't know much about the latest cards so I put my question to you.

Many Thanks for your help.

Thanks I'll take a look.

I'm not sure if OCUK have an Amazon store but if they do I could go up to £200.

Any further recommendations that would work with the board I have linked above?

Would the single card be better than 2 crossfired?

I must admit I have been thinking for a while to trying out Nvidia. Is the extra money worth it for an Nvidia?

Basically £150 cash or £200 through Amazon which card would give me the best bang for buck?

Many Thanks.
