Upgrade from ATI 4890

Well I've tried out the BF3 beta and on low settings I can only get 15-30fps with my XFX 4890. Along with my AMD 955 and Asus M4A79XTD Evo mobo and coolmaster m700 psu

Looking for a new card with a budget of £180, though tbh if it's worth it that much I could push to £220 probably. For the future I'm sure it would be a lot better. Feel like my 4890 runs really hot as well, 88c yesterday when on a game, and it's loud!

Needs to fit into a Storm Scout, would prefer if the power cables plug in ontop of the card compared to the end like my 4890 currently (a pain to bend the power cables to push into end of card)

I use 2 23" monitors, DVI - Though I guess adaptors can be bought if needed, neither monitor has HDMI or display port.

Thanks :)

Well considering the 6950 is to long for my case really I'll go for the 560Ti, only 9 inches apparently. So i'll go for the Asus card.
