new gfx needed

[vanandjuanunited]

Hi looking to upgrade my gfx
Currently have a 4890 1gb with an amd 555be unlocked to a quad
What gfx card would be best to match up with my CPU?
Was looking at a 5850 or 460 unless someone has a better option for me
Quiet card preferred with lower power draw ideally.

Looking at the Andandtech bench marks for those two cards against the 4890 then neither of those cards are going yield any great amount of performance increase but they should be a fair be cooler and quieter.

Thought they would have been a reasonable upgrade. I understood the 5770 was roughly equivilent to the 4890. Back to the drawing board then

4890 are still a very good card considering their age, i upgraded to a 460 from one then sold it a week later for a fiver less than i paid for it as it wasnt worth the money over what i already had.

U thought of xfiring it?
