Hi all,

I've been mulling over getting a new card, maybe a 5850 to replace my ageing 4850. To be honest the 4850 has been great and even now plays NFS Shift & Dirt2 pretty well... but I have a need and that need is keeping me awake at night (well, not really...;))

Should I hang around for new cards (anything to expect in the near future?) and maybe get an SSD in the meantime, I'm hoping to have around £200 to spend.

I play at a max of 1680x1050.

Have I answered my own question!?

17 920 @ 3.7
Gigabyte EX58 UD4P
6Gb Corsair
2x 500 Samsungs
 
I might stretch the extra if its worth it..

Do you think the 5830 or 5770 would suffice at my resolution (which I have no intention of upgrading) and is it a worthy upgrade from a 4850?
