Replacing graphics card

I am looking at replacing my 9800GT @ 512mb, simply because it does not have enough memory for AA at the resolution I play at.

I think I will be able to sell it for about £60. I was wondering if I would be able to pick up a better card with 1GB memory for about £60-£70 new or used. I am tight on cash so I don't want to be splashing out. I want to spend a little more than I sell my 9800gt for. I was thinking HD4870...if that is better? But I would prefer nVidia.

Opinions, comments, advice please.

Thanks a lot.
 
Well practically what I am saying is...what is the best graphics card I can get for £60-£70 used with 1GB memory or more.

Better than that of my 9800GT.
 
Keep your card, the memory is not the bottleneck. I play at 1920x1200 using a 9800GT.

I would like to, I can game on Ultra (COD4:MW2) but it's not as responsive as i'd like it to be and I cannot use AntiAliasing.

Might wait a bit and see what's on offer on the forum.
 
Ah right ok, I am specifically looking for a 1GB which unfortunately heightens the price tag, I guess I will still with the 9800gt which is serving me ok.

I just have them days where I want the extra eye candy at kick ass frames.
